Branching Out Kumeu, North Island, New Zealand

I suspect this one has gone. I could see a loop of wire which Im guessing the cache used to hang from, though nothing else remains. It matches the height description from previous logs and no, I wouldnt have been able to reach it even if it had been hanging there.

Searched around but couldn't find it

Under light

Tricky

Hit 500

Yup its there , just gotta look up if you are short !Nicely constructed cache TNLNSL TFTC

Not sure if it's been taken or we just couldn't find it

Found it a few days ago. Great school holiday fun.

**19,474**A nice quick find here, which we were grateful for with the wet weather settling in. TFTC

( ) So, I had use of my sister's car still, I had picked her and her hubby at at 6:15 am this morning from the airport and one thing after another, I came here. It's getting to the stage now, this cache is about the closest to home that I haven't done (mysteries that I can't solve don't count). ( ) So I passed the workers at a nearby house and parked at the round about, walked down and found the cache due to good instructions. BUT... I could reach the cache with a good stretch with one hand but not with both, I struggled for a bit then decided to just take a foto as proof I was here instead. Sorry guys, just a bit tall for me today. Thanks for the cache!

Slightly damp, but found! Helps not being short

Work takes. Us back to the beach today clouds and sun bjt no rain so far. Tfrc

Yay found it

Very easy

Very clever

Found

Good one

The plan this weekend was to head to Auckland Friday evening with Yvettetb. Saturday we had a lovely day caching around the Northcoate area with great Harbour Bridge views from all over the place. Sunday we went geocaching in the Riverhead/Kumeū area.

This was a quick and easy find. Luckily the nearby muggle sitting on the steps eating his lunch was just out of sight. Thanks for the hide

I had to show my flexibility when retrieving this cache however, it was a quick find at GZ. Found with Lis's Crew on a sunny winters day. TFGC

We were in Auckland for an event and came out this way to grab some caches afterwards. GPS wanted us a little bit away but sure the cache name was a clue we searched and finally spotted it. Thank you for the placement.

Very nice hide our GPS was a bit out for this one but look at the Hint again and Bingo KGD eyes got it again
Thanks keep up the good work

After an event went out north west to tidy a few caches with ABCDF4 and KGD, thanks for the placement.

Good one

Nicely hidden. 2nd for the day while Mrs Muggle is a Fibrefest. I'm sure I've got several hours to hunt for caches. TFTC

This was a nice bonus find while doing some cache maintenance. I’m sure I got a cache here previously not that long ago. I to stretch to get this one. Tftc

Found it. Very good hiding place.

Nice fresh log for our early morning caching adventure. Almost too high for M to retrieve but the caffienation from early is helping

After a couple DNFs have replaced the missing cache today. Fresh log inside.

Was missing. Cache has been replaced all good here.

Phone co-ords not terribly accurate and I figured I had the right branches but could see nothing except for some rusty wire and black tape

Quick and easy find.

Out caching by myself again while the other half sells Christmas trees. After a DNF at the last cache, I was very happy to have a quick find of the cache here. Thanks

A quick and easy find this evening.

Thanks for hiding this cache TasmynJaymie & Nate79_NZ I appreciate it. This cache was used as a way to find a cafe and toilet. I figured it would be in the township.
We're staying in the North Shore so we can focus on finding puzzles that have been solved. I love solving geocaching puzzles.

Day 4 of a geocaching holiday in Tāmaki Makaurau with Nosynel. A quick find. Lots of development going on here. Tftc.

Hidden in plain sight kool T 4T C

Super cool

I found it
Thanks

i noticed this cache near a puzzle we had just done.
so another find to our list for today
TFTC

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)… It’s International Geocaching Day, and the caching community has a chance to set a new record of total cachers participating today. We’re all about making history… Gap is also working.

This new development was a jumble of streets and new housing. Luckily, Gap had his eye on the geomap and spotted this hide. A quick find with the hint. Thanks TasmynJaymie and Nate79_NZ. TFTC.

Super find! Thank you

#11,441. I have been out west for the past week doing my seabird monitoring. But today I am heading into the big smoke to stay with family and attend a zoom meeting. Then I head off to Northland for the rest of the week to hopefully wrap up the last geotour caches in the Far North. Just working my way around a few NW caches today. The housing development in this area is quite remarkable. Thirty years ago it was mostly farmland up this way. Now its industrial estate and new residential dwellings in all directions. Nice quick find here. Signed and replaced the cache as found. Thanks TasmynJaymie & Nate79_NZ for hiding it here.

Having a look around Kumeu which I haven’t visited for years. My Aunty used to live nearby so I would stay with her often. Things have changed a bit and it looks like the population is about to explode with all the new houses going up here. A quick find on a nice winters day. TFTC

Had finished a job close by and was after some were to stop for lunch
This turned out to be a great opportunity to grab a cach and have lunch.
Quickly had the cach in hand.
It all safe and dry.

Nice to have a fine day to get out caching and we headed out west from our house to try and pick up some outlying caches. No problems here. Thanks

We went all up in the bushes

haha

Nice and easy find

Nice quick find here. What a network of narrow roads to get here. Tftc

On our way home.
A nice quite spot.

Briefly gatecrashed Merlot & Jan’s caching afternoon, to grab this one along with them. My ph co-ords were a wee bit out, but there was only one place it could be really! A quick find for Merlot. Thanx ftc : -)

Having met up with Bertie Blowfish to help us look for a cache which was missing we continued on to this cache. Amazing to see this subdivision still empty. After parking up too we wandered down the stairs and made a nice quick find.

Lovely quick and easy find. tftc

Nice and easy. Tftc.

Easy find

Well done on your 300!
Cache all good here.
Thanks!

Nice to be second to find here!
Was quite funny...as I pulled in to park here another car did too!
At the end of a no exit road with no houses!
I thought I would be meeting some other geocachers!
But they had a box and proceeded down the stairs to sit down and eat their takeaways!
I followed them but turned the corner to find the tree I needed!
Quite tricky to see at first...being green.
Many thanks for your new cache guys...looking forward to more !

My fone dinged and I saw a few new publications, all too far away, then this one popped up so out the door I went. Easy parking here at the moment but that will change in the near future. Nice quick find at the GZ, TFTC and for FTF #73
