With a good number of pre-holiday tasks completed and a couple of hours spare I thought Id head out for a few caches.Park and grab number three on this mini-trail. Thanks elwyn1948#5595Found using Cachlymsc_20, formerly caching as msebn

Replaced.

No find for us here today

No cache found by us here!

No luck

Saw it as we walked up as it wasnt covered very well. Have covered up.

2nd of the day.

Lots of leaves

Spent a good 5 minutes looking and couldnt find it

This was very close to where we are staying for a couple of weeks, but I was unable to find it. Hedge clippings may have obscured it.

Out with Kiwi Does Stuff for a quiet Sunday caching mission in and out of Hamilton through all of the backroads. Hedge clippings definitely make for a busier area to search, located in the end. TFTC !

Sunday afternoon / Evening mission with Reschedule. Taking some back roads to / from Hamilton. TFTC

Found

Found despite recent hedge trimming

Busy road. Waiting for the clear...then quick snatch and grab.

Too many branches

Nice and quick

We walked the dogs along this part of the trail to find the three close caches. A good decision as there were many muggles around today on their electric bikes or traveling to the Punnet cafe. The last of the three, and we had a short wait while a idling car moved on.

Found with Spudge between bikes. TFTC

#13,890. 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. This one is well protected by vegetation. Had to get down low to feel it. Signed the logsheet and replaced the cache as found. Thanks elwyn1948 for the caches along this trail.

Hard

Picking up a family member from the airport today and the plane was delayed so I was able to pick up a few caches in this area that were still unfound by me. TFTC

Yay

We are staying at Morrinsville for a few days and decided to come over this way to pick up a few caches. Took a few minutes to locate this one. It was a little further away than where my phone was indicating GZ to be, but probably within the allowable margin of error. #6865. TFTC.

Down low easy find

got to be on your hands and knees and look high and low

Such fun on these great bike trails. Had a chat to Princess Bella who is loving being towed along by dad, with her best toys in her private cabin. Lucky lass. Cache is all good. TFTC

Loving this trail on a sunny day. 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

Was able to park up at punnet to grab the 3 nearby, this was our fifth find along the trail today TFTC

Found a convenient spot to park and walked to 3 more caches along this trail - the fourth for today. TFTC

Another nice easy park and grab despite the rain, TFTC

Thank you

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.

Had to get down on my hands and knees to look for this one but a quick easy find. Thankyou for the cache.

GPS is off by a bit

Busy with bikers so had to keep a eye out for bikers.

Sneaky little hide. TFTC

Easily found...TFTC

**18,591**
After quickly dodging an on coming cyclist, there was a short hunt and the cache was soon in hand. TFTC

A nice quick find. The penultimate cache on the count down trail. 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. .

Back on the trail, easy find, on to the next one

There were quite a few cyclists and walkers using the trail today but not enough to make finding the cache a problem and we located it quickly when the coast was clear.
Now on to the next one.

A lovely day to be out and about today. Waited till the muggle cyclists went past. Tftc

Had to wait for the cyclists to go past. Beautiful day to be out. Tftc

Another quick find in between cyclists and walkers, tftc

All good here- another quick stop on a gorgeous morning. tftc

Lot of people out today as the weather is so good.

Another easy find on my walk thanks...

My eyes nearly popped out of my head to see a guy whizzing along on a one wheel electric unicycle similar to this picture I found online..

Rather a long view into this hide, requiring careful timing.TFTC.

Soon found, uncovered, signed and on my way. Tftc

no problem with cache find today.

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…

The same strolling couple from the previous cache passed us by. They were a bit more observant this time, and cast a wary eye in our direction. A cyclist also passed and asked if we were looking for something. Our reply regarding caching didn’t phase him, and he cycled off without looking back… A quick find here. Thanks elwyn1948. TFTC.

Just out for a wee drive today
Nice find Lots of muggles around today so just have to time it right
Thanks

Sunday morning and time to get some caches. I rode here yesterday but had others with me who did not want to cache. TFTC

Nice sneaky wee hide found with abcdf4

Out for an evening drive to collect a couple of caches. Walked down to this one. soo0n had it in hand. Thank you for the placement.

Out in the area. Quick find this time. Tftc

Jagersmum and I were walking jager just 2km away when these 3 new caches popped up here. Nice quick joint [FTF] for us. TFTC!

Published

Nice sunny afternoon walking our Jäger not too far from this cache, we got a series of new cache notifications. We ran/walked the last few hundred meters back to the car as fast as we could, as you do, and drove straight to the locations. Getting all 3 from this series as [FTF] definitely made our night. So lucky to have been nearby. Thanks for the placement.
