With a good number of pre-holiday tasks completed and a couple of hours spare I thought Id head out for a few caches.4 out of 4 on this mini trail. Thanks elwyn1948#5596Found using Cachlymsc_20, formerly caching as msebn
Away with tmann421 for a few days, heading north to where there are more cache finds for us.Enjoyed the adventure and were lucky with beautiful weather for most of the time away.Thanks to the cache owners for their efforts in placing and maintaining their hides.Signed log tm/ww NZTFTC
Heading out for a nine day road trip with woolwood9.Appreciate the cache owners for placing caches for us to visit.Another one was soon found and log signed.SL *tm/ww NZ**Thank you for helping to make our time away fun!*
Out with Kiwi Does Stuff for a quiet Sunday caching mission in and out of Hamilton through all of the backroads. TFTC! Logbook is full! Time for a replacement.
Sunday afternoon / Evening mission with Reschedule. Taking some back roads to / from Hamilton. TFTCLog paper was full
Yay, it was an easy find for me for once as I find some caches quite challenging. Tftc
#13,891. After spending the morning geocaching around Cambridge it was time to head towards Hamilton and rather than get there at 110 km/hr I decided to drive the slower path picking up the Te Awa trail caches. My last cache on the Te Awa trail. Nice quick find as well. Signed the logsheet and replaced the cache as found. Thanks elwyn1948 for placing the caches along this trail for us to find.
Thanks for this brilliant cache it was my first one ever and it was so fun. Thank you.
The last in this series for us and no DNFs. How good is that! Time now to sample some wares from the cafe's that have kindly stayed open for us on this holiday week end. Cache is all good. TFTC
This area is going to be lovely when its all finished- what a great asset the bike trail is. TFTC
Out and about hunting down smilies to complete the final souvenier challenge.Staying at Mystery Creek to attend the moho show but time out today for caching. Unfortunately we don't have the bikes with us so driveby caching required. No problems with the cache TFTC
After some dodgy parking we were quick to find our third along the trail today TFTC
School holidays so time for a road trip and some caching. Stayed the night on Duncan road near the end of the trail. Woke ridiculously early and walked the whole trail collecting all 14 caches. Was very grateful that the finds were straight forward and a phone torch sufficed. Did have a full moon show itself intermittently which helped. Cache and log all fine. Thanks for a fun time.
Having found 4,3 and 2 i decided it would be wrong not to hunt for number 1 while i was here. Found it based on the experience of the other 3. Pen broke as i pulled it out of my pocket to sign the log so thats a good hint that its time to go home now. Thanks for the cache. I look forward to doing the rest of the trail.
Had to look quickly and move away to sign and then have a family stop and have a chat
So the workmen have disappeared today and we thought we would try our luck and see if the cache was there. All good and a smiley face for us. TFTC

A nice quick find. Watch out for the spiky pant close by! Thanks for placing your cache.
I went for a wee bike ride this afternoon and collected a few caches. Lovely weather for a bike ride and the trails (when I was on them) were great.
Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. .

After driving around Hamilton and completing three Adventure Labs by visiting fifteen sporting venues we felt inspired to partake in some sort of exercise ourselves and this new trail of caches was perfect.
We started with this one and made a quick find but encountered some unexpected thorns when reaching for the cache so had to be careful, but they provide perfect protection against muggles.
A nice start to the trail, now on to the next one.

First find on a beautiful sunny day. Plenty of cyclists making the mist of it. Tftc
Easy find here.
Was disappointed.
As Te Awa means river I had expected walk along a river!
Not along a footpath!
Talked briefly with a nice guy I had seen earlier walking on the boardwalk !
He knew already about geocaching...

Sunday morning and time to get some caches. I rode here yesterday but had others with me who did not want to cache. TFTC
Hitched a ride with ABCDF4 and eyespyben after the event to grab some newish caches. Nice quick find here as was in the logical place. Thank you for the placement.
With Gap (of Fap and Gap)… A good day for a drive across the Waikato. It feels like summer today…
Gap (a previous finder) said this would be a quick find - It was… A bit tricky navigating our way out of here. Thanks elwyn1948. TFTC.

We decided to bike some of this new cycleway today but inadvertently chose the hottest part of a 28oC day to bike in (and it really was hot!). Fortunately there was some shade in the bush alongside the river. We stopped for this River Ride series of caches and had a very enjoyable time. Thanks for setting them up, TFTC 
Was just a regular Wednesday evening at home, having dinner and watching an episode of Wednesday on Netflix when FMZ alerted me of a new cache in Hamilton. I looked at my Geocaching notifications and sure enough, 2 newly published caches. Swallowed the last of my dinner and grabbed Jäger, my paw baby and jumped into the car. It felt weird driving that way at that time as that is the way I drive to work everyday. Got to gz, waited for some bikers to go past and then found cache instantly. Inside the container was a blank log sheet, so, yes, [FTF] ! Yay. Thanks for the cache!
