Up in Cambridge to support my brother as he was competing in the National Powerlifting 24. Today was our journey day back home so had some opportunities to get some caches along the ride! Coods quite off here but cache was found soon enough after ignoring Coods and changing to caching instinct. I wrote in the log and placed the cache carefully back as found. TFTC. Thanks elwyn1948 for placing this Traditional cache! elwyn1948 , ! 18 September 2024 at 9:17AM#962th Find

Took a while to find this one as the coordinates were off. We scared the poor man that lives on the nearby house parking in the entrance to his driveway and he came down acting like m he was fixing his gate while keeping an eye on us. I tried to explain what we were doing but he was elderly and Im not sure he really understood. Team Datt and going geocaching 2017 visited this cache. Thanks for the cache.

Very nice spot

Out with Agazo today, another quick one for our total today, tftc

Nufrat and I still had some time towards the end of the day, so we jumped on this trail and made a lot of finds in quick succession. TFTC.

#13,882. 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. Cars certainly zip past in this area, Nice quick find here. Signed the logsheet and replaced the cache as found. Thanks elwyn1948 for hiding it here.

A nice quick find. Thanks for placing your cache. Ms_KR and I are on the road again, up "North" to visit family an friends. Today was a bike ride around the block. Nice and flat and successful! Occassionally signed MK+KR on cache logs, and apologies for the generic logs.Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches.

A lovely sunny afternoon today, maybe I should have brought the bike along, but no time to procrastinate don't want to be caught blocking someones driveway, thankfully another quick find, cheers

The promise of a fine, warm day had us out and about on our bikes for a long overdue caching trip on some of Waikato's great bike trails. Having to check behind us when we stop so that another rider doesn't bang into us! Cache is all good. TFTC

perfect morning for this run. Having a great time, thanks

Quick findbetween cyclists, tftc

Coordinates were bouncing around a bit but with the hint it was soon to hand 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

In Cambridge for the daffodil show, had time to find some more caches this afternoon. Thanks elwyn1948 for the cache.

Visit after school drop off. Must have been an accident nearby, but cache all good. 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.

Out and about with ABCDF4 picking up points for the solastic souvenir,
nice quick finds with not to many mugglers Thanks Elwyn.

Out today to get our points for The Solstice souvenir
Bit wet day this way
Nice wee hide Thanks

Quick easy fine, Very busy next to the motor way.

Yet another cache on the trail.
Mostly all very easy.
Quite a few were not properly covered....so I was able to rectify matters and all hidden much better now.

A fun bike ride along the trail this afternoon. I’ll also be using this cache to fill the month of April for my Jasmer challenge. TFTC

Cheeky little hide. TFTC

Seems someone crashed into the barrier! Cache all good.... TFTC

after seeing the previous DNF thought is it there.
sure enough soon had cache in hand.

With (Mr) Davidson Clan and Gap (of Fap and Gap)… The continuing bad weather and the Rotorua Marathon weren’t enough of a deterrent from caching. Another mini road trip across the Waikato.

The previous DNF had us on edge. The neighbours were ready to depart, and we wondered if they might have removed the cache… All sorts of scenarios played out in our heads. Fortunately, the cache was in place and a very quick find. Thanks elwyn1948. TFTC.

It was good to get out of Rotorua today and over the hill into the Waikato area for a bit of geocaching. The weather was a lot nicer than in Rotorua. We went via Matamata, Morrinsville and on to Hamilton then home through Cambridge. Thanks to the CO for hiding. Cache is still there

No luck for me, think my GPS was a bit off and the hint didn't help

**18,582**
We arrived at this cache, just as the local crowd of cyclists went by, waited patiently for them to pass before attempting the cache - which was a quick find. TFTC

A nice quick find once GPS settled down. Lots of kids around. And walkers passing. Tftc

Bleeding kids are back again so trying to sign the log quickly. Found once GPS settled down. The walkers wondered what we were up to. Tftc

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

Sunday morning ride and caching on the way tftc

We made a nice quick find with this one and increased our streak of finds to nine.
Almost at the end of this trail of caches now so fingers crossed our streak will continue.
TFTC

Amazing the mess the bypass made of the roads around here. Quick find. TFTC.

In the area for a ftf so might as well pick these up whilstvim here. Easy find with my bright lamp. Tftc

FMZ made a quick find here, right where he said it would be when we pulled up this evening. TYFTC!

Another nice wuick find out this way with Jagersmum. Her phone was pointing about 10 or 12m away but it was the obvious spot. TFTC!!!

It has been a while since I darted out of the for a FTF but car was out as had just got home from some shopping. So thought why not. Once at GZ soon found the cache and a blank log. {FTF} Thank you for the placement
