Easy find with the kids

Cool cache

Easy found merry

Nice hide.

I was heading to New Plymouth for a quick overnight trip and decided to detour to pick up a few caches here. It was raining at this stage, so I grabbed the cache and took it back to the car to sign. Nice little series, and a good spot here, TFTC

Awesome

Chinese gooseberries as I used to call the a few thousand moon ago. The older varieties are yummy.

After caching along the coastal walkway yesterday, today we decided to cache in the countryside.

Out and about with LNM1961 revisiting Taranaki and collecting caches.

Kia ora rawa atu for the cache MIOW4.

I was working for a scientific organisation when the name Zespri originated. Way back in the day, kiwi fruit was known as Chinese gooseberries, & I remember they had a very furry skin.
I love the traditional ‘Hayward’ variety.
Cache signed and replaced as found. Caching in the Taranaki area with NZ_B

My favourite kiwifruit is Sungold. Delicious. Very wet underfoot but cache soon found once on the correct side. Many thanks MIOW4

Ate them in my youth when they where china’s gooseberry and grew over the neighbor s shed just about crushing it ,still eat them today with all the new types . Thanks miow4 another delight TFTC

I must admit I prefer the golden kiwifruit, but any colour is delicious . TFTC Miow4

Just aboit finished these Kiwiana caches in time for a another series , maybe ?, called kiwiana by Joey with some around Eketahuna way .
Approaching this was a real Taranaki quagmire ! see photos ! but i managed ti retrieve it and sign it etc . anzing that the cache and log were dry while being surrounded in water and mud ! thank you for this cache . I took nothing but photos which i now can not locate ! , and left nothing but my log .

Wow, lots of mud here. Luckily the cows still have lots of good grass too. Spotted this one from the car, things stand out when there is only mud around otherwise! TFTC

Nice easy start,Hop in Hop out your turn and away we go.

Teamed up with ABCDF4, Fap & Gap and Squirrel Nutcase, our BOP friends on a weekend caching mission in the Naki,
all has been said on our teams previous logs, thanks to Cos for placements and drawing us to the Naki.

With ABCDF4, eyespyben, and Gap (of Fap and Gap)... A planned expedition into the Taranaki region. All logs were signed with our individual handles, or Team HRP (Huntly, Rotorua, Papamoa) depending on who accessed the logbook first...

King's Birthday Saturday: We discovered the Kiwiana trail a few months ago, and we were determined to add it to our list of caches to visit sooner rather than later. We formed a plan that included our Huntly friends. Then it was a matter of counting down the 'sleeps' before we were away... We could hear the hum of activity coming from the nearby farms, but the roadside was completely quiet. A quick find - Thanks MIOW4. TFTC.

Thanks

Another little geocaching trip north with woolwood9.
We made many stops on the way!

Heading off for a long weekend to New Plymouth with tmann421.
The Naki put on perfect weather for us.
Some wonderful caches found and great sites seen.

Thanks to the cache owners, without their efforts this game would not be possible.

Thanks

(FTF) Have had a family wedding on all weekend and family staying with us from Aussie so it’s been hard to pop out to come find these last 2 strays of the unfound. With everyone still bleary eyed from the weekend festivities and sleeping in still Mr Muggle and I came here for a quick find. Maize is all cut and gone now 1 day after cuzincori had a no go here.
