Well of course given the cache title this helped make for a quick find. T4tC mar1sa,Civvnr&MissTreadlightly....(UK) -/-Geocaching.com finds so far 12265

No pen but log very wet TFTC

Another nice easy find to break up our ride to Mangakino.The log was a bit difficult to sign, as wet. Luckily we managed to dodge most of the rain. TFTC

Nice climb

Cache all in good order

Found - Mrs McMike2012 & I now live full-time in our caravan & travel the country visiting places we want to visit & doing the things that we want to do we had been staying at Mangakino & decided that we would walk to the nearby Suspension Bridge and, of course, do some caching while out and about this was an easy find, log signed & cache container easily replaced pleased to add another 'smiley face' to the tally TFTC ... TN:LN:SL ... #4,884 for us!

Once I got my 70 yr old bones up the bank, it was easy. TFTC

Thanks for your amazing cache mar1sa. I really appreciate the time you took to set up and maintain your caches. Log was wet and hard to signCheers, Cympull.

Nice quick find TFTC

Only Geocaching addicts would be climbing up there. Always a relief when you don't have a explain to a muggle what you are up to.Log very wet but managed to sign after wrapping in an absorbent towel for 5min.

Number 23 on the piece of paper. 7th find for the day.A nice quick, easy find, grab, sign and flee.TFTC

After seeing no one for quite a while we encountered a muggle just as we arrived at GZ. But better to meet them upon arrival and not during our search and he soon moved on, allowing us to find the cache without the need for stealth.The terrain rating was a little higher on this one so Mr Coblet made the find while Mrs Coblet supervised and made sure the coast was clear.Once at GZ the cache was soon spotted and the log signed.Another great hide.Now on to the next one.TFTC.

Enjoying the walk along the track, so far only been passed by one lot of cyclists. The find was very straight forward, headed to the right spot first time. TFTC

This is such a lovely walk A quick find and on towards the swing bridge. TFTC

Pop towed me on my bike out to the bridge today as I ran out of steam yesterday, I managed to walk up to this one.
Thanks for the placement.

Quick fins in the first spot I looked. Cheers.

A quick find here after the short excursion from the track.
Signed log replaced as found.

Out for another early morning walk before the rain comes again.
No problems spotting the well worn path and appropriate tree. Even easier spotting the cache as it had rolled down the bank a bit. Maybe a possums having fun playing with it? A put it back where it should be, with a few sticks on top.
Thanks for setting these up

Couple of big trees but could tell the one that everyone goes to. Lol. Tftc.

Yip. It's a big tree.

Glad we found this one after missing the last one.

Nice to have this one quickly in the bag after failing to find the previous one on the trail. TFTC

Cache all in good order

Saw a large lizard nearby. Don't normally see them that big (photo)

A good easy find thanks

Very interesting thanks

Nice magpie

travelling with squirrel nutcase and his 4 legged friend.
spotted hint and knew where to head.
once again cache out in open so placed what we thought the hint item told us and covered

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)… Usually, Labour Weekend is one of our favourite times to cache. But this time, things are different. (Shock… Horror!) We have other non-caching activities in store for this weekend… It was mid afternoon when we set of down the track with the dog.

There was no mistaking the hint tree. Even the dog had to climb up for a look… The cache was sitting out in the open and uncovered. After signing, we repositioned the hide closer to the tree. Thanks mar1sa and TFTC.

Another find for my daughter. TFTC

Enjoying a bike ride along here, mist just lifting off the lake and sun peeking through. Thanks for the cache.

Sent my young one up the hill to the large tree to get this one. She quickly found the cache behind the large tree as per hint. Tftc

Found it

Travelling back to Rotorua today and this seemed an ideal place for some exercise and a few caches. Parked up and got the bike out. What a wonderful track to cycle. Attempted 7 caches and found 5. Good a straight forward one. Thanks.

8149 ## Boges had come up with a plan to grab the new caches at Mangakino. After seeing the first cache had been found 5 days ago we assumed others too had been found but not logged. Once again the electric power helped Boges get to GZ before. I don,t think my excursion into the bushes on one of the tight corners helped either. He had located it as I arrived. Opened it to find another blank log. Joint {FTF}. Thank you for the placement. Back on the bikes.

On a trip to the south Waikato with KGD. The weather was great and so was the company.
A bit of fun here as one cacher fell off his bike. As he was "injured" I got the cache tftc
