On Your Marks, Get Set, Go! Claudelands, North Island, New Zealand
By gogoguises on 07-Jan-23. Waypoint GCA3ND3

The container has gone missing and replaced a few times. The area also has undergone change so no longer viable.

Srry

Disabled until I can get this fixed.

DNF wasn't there look as at farmers market very busy

We didn't find it looks like it has been removed

Detroyed

Nothing here :/

The geocache is destroyed we only found the paper

.

A rather unorthodox container but log was present and dry.

It sounds like our original cache has been replaced at some stage. The next time I’m over there I will fix it.

It's an odd 'container'
Didn't bring a pen with me

Thats a novel placement not entirely convinced its in the correct location...but there's a log in sidethanks for the cache

Its all go in the area with a new building going up and re-surfacing and landscaping elsewhere. An interesting hide. Still not sure if this is correct but lig definitely was. Thanks for the placement geoguises

That's new...TFTC

Couldn’t find and was extremely windy and cold

Easy and great find

Hard to find ans very small

Not sure if this is the right spot, but cleverly hidden

Nice easy find !!!

Found it, although I'm not sure it was in the correct location?? Log is in okay condition but not in a water tight container or in a hidey hole like others have described.
Here with my sister who is contacting the CO to be sure.
Thanks!

First night in Hamilton for a geo adventure, and came to collect a few caches around Claudelands Park. The previous logs had us confused - one said the CO confirmed the cache was missing, followed by several smilies.

We ended up finding the cache - but we wonder if it's not in the right spot?

Sent a message to the CO, added our names to the log, and continued on before the chill could set in too deep!

I realized I forgot to log this one. Signed the log about maybe a month ago. Neat hiding spot! I was expecting a tiny little magnet but this was better! TFTC

I love Snoopy - I named my first dog Snoopy, unfortunately for me, he loved my dad and when I left home, he stayed with my dad and they were the very best of mates!!
This was a nice quick cleverly hidden in-plain-sight cache. Worth a favourite point just for the Snoopy reference, although the cache was good too TFTC

Spent over 30 minutes looking for the cache here then I messaged the CO and sent a photo. Unfortunately this cache has gone AWOL. Logging with permission of the CO - thank you A great spot for a cache

Lots of muggles playing in the playground near by, but fortunately GZ was muggle free.
It took a bit of spotting but we found it after a short search.
Thanks for setting this up

Not what I was expecting nice!

Found yesterday, thanks for the fun find

A hard one to pull out but an amazing Chache to find

The micro cacher enjoyed the playground nearby while i went a searching. Glad to have the right TOTT to extract this one out of its hidey hole. TFTC!

had visited this location earlier in the day and found what was required to clam this cache.
but we had a road block . 5 guys sitting on grass only meters away.so we opted to return latter.
guessed by what was left there when we returned they had a good time.
little baggies and a few cans.
no problems with right gear cache soon signed.

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)… It turned out to be a good weather day for another drive into the Waikato. It almost felt like the summer we were supposed to have…

We needed two visits to complete this find. Our first attempt was partially thwarted by persons sitting within metres of the cache. We also felt the cache, but there was no way to prise it from its hide without attracting attention.

Our second visit was much more successful. Gap had the right tools for the job, and without spectators, managed to pull the cache from its place. Thanks gogoguises. TFTC.

Was there on Sunday when farmers market was on so left it and went back today. Very hard to get out of its hide tftc

Woow this one was so cute to find! Loved it

Found after a bit of hunting. Wasn't what I thought I was looking for LOL. Unfortunately it's stuck in its hidey spot. Perhaps next person can try a TOTT! Have logged as found with permission from CO. TFTC

Took us a while but once we saw it seemed obvious!

super cool! thank you

Enjoying a walk after work. This took a while to locate, and then some skill to sign.TFTC

After a nice walk around the park we headed over to GZ which provided a perfect spot for us to rest before searching for the cache.
We had to look around a little bit before locating its very clever hiding spot and managed to extract it successfully with the help of a TOTT.
Thanks gogoguises for this very clever hide.

New Zealand North Island - Day 6
Found with Joolay on a trip to NZ to find the GeoTour. .Found with some help from ABCDF4 and eyespyben. Tricksy cache and happy to make the find.

Thanks for the cool cache gogoguises

Very cool idea where they put it

While eating a sandwich, I spotted this sneaky one

Second tricky cache of the day in pouring rain with no shelter nearby!
Even those big trees were letting the rain through!
Took me three go's to find it.... first time I was on the ground having a thorough feel and a passing runner asked if I was ok!
Went back to car where it was dry and read carefully thru logs!
ohhhhhhh.
So went back and spotted it!
But unable to retrieve .
Went back to car for a tool and finally signed the log !
Woo hoo.

Doing the family thing but this was on the way so time for a quick walk. Checked the usual (thank you, telescooic mirror) to no avail then spotted something different. A little coaxing was required but the family provided excellent camouflage. TFTC.

Tftc for the nice wee hide found with all the other geo caches

Finlay’s 2nd geocache found!! Was a fun one

What a hide! Good playground nearby. TFTC

One of the clan made the trek to GZ from the event, all good while we watched the big suspicious bunch of people swarming around a spot looking for something

Cache was published at the start of the event. It was interesting to see the different timing that each phone in receiving the notification. Then the race was on. I think the young ones were nearly at GZ before some of the oldies had got going. But cache had not been located by the time we got there. But the find was soon made by one of the young ones. Well done. Enjoyed the comradery of those involved. Joint {FTF}. Thank you for the placement.

Attending the 18@18 Event. Great to have an excuse to get up and go for a stroll across the park. TFTC

Published

FTF great find found in a small place ??

Up from Southland with Cantabrian Kiwicampnut to get the final piece of the PWGT puzzle.
Day 1 and we arrived Hamilton late afternoon, collected car and we are off and running.
This was published during the event and the race was on.
Thanks for the cache gogoguises

Arrived in Hamilton at 4.30 pm and after getting car and dropping bags at accommodation we headed down to the event. Two young cachers had the chance to get FTF as rest of us walked over to location. Well done guys

At the event and this one pop up
It was great to see the Young New Cache get a FTF
So then we all shared a {FTF}
Keep up the good work Boys

shared FTF with the local geocachers thank you gogoguises for the cache ️and the masterfinder278 for putting his hand in a mysterious hole

Opened this up and tried to solve the puzzle of the certificates to find the co-ordinates. Nothing sprang to mind then I realised it was a trad. I think I need help...

Whoop whoop. Collected this when attending the event. That’s team.

Not the fastest bunch haha, FTF goes to the youngest Joel

Thanks for the fun guys

Picked up while attending a monthly event.
