Logs
I attended the cache owner's event on the day this one was released but it did not suit me to attempt to find it that day. In the meantime, I have actually walked past the site several times without realising it as the cache is just before the turn around point for Saturday Parkrun events. In fact, I was here yesterday.Having noticed the previous log was a DNF, I was prepared for possible disappointment but I found the cache instantly. To be fair to those who have DNFed the cache, the colour and size of the container means it does not exactly jump out and say "Here I am!".
Back after the rest of the Apple Munching Series of caches and some other not yet found caches in Greytown with woolwood9*We left home again just before 6-30am so we could have plenty of daylight on the trail!*Very nice walk down the Rail Trail to this cache.SL *tm/ww NZ*Thanks for the another great day out.
Headed over the hill again today with tmann421 to gather the remaining apple caches.Left Waikanae at 0630 in the dark so we could make the most of the daylight hours in the Wairarapa.Lots of people out walking todaySigned logs tm/ww NZTFTC
**21,282**We were fortunate that we had the bike with us, so it was a short cycle down the cycleway to the cache. Mr Geckoh didnt think it was that cold outside until he started cycling on the bike. BrrrParked the bike where we needed to be searching which was not helpful so once it was moved the cache was a quick find. TFTC
*** draft log for stats tracking, more later ***GCAHVW7 Happy New Year for 2024 (Wairarapa)11 May 2024 11:15:33 NZSTTFTC NZ_BQuick find, and the sun has come out to warm up this chilly day. Just had catch-up with CO happy 2024 travels!
The Twignoid are back in the Wairarapa, chasing done new caches that have appeared on our maps since we were last here, nasty, nasty, green blobby things. TwigNZ dropped my off at here and I walked back to down along the cycleway, converting greens into yellows, while he disappeared to do a cache I already had, and then pick me up at the bottom. Nice easy find here.
A reversal of yesterday. Today is caching first. Then work. A pleasant stroll along a familiar trail to get this one. TFTC
Good weather, so decided to have a day in the Wairarapa to score about 20 unfound caches including the last few in the "Nifty Swifty" series and some of the ones along back country roads. A short walk and a very quick find here. Signed log, TFTC.
Today I was out and about in the Wairarapa with my friends Mar1sa and Etherlord Clan, in an effort to do the entire Nifty Swifty geoart series in a day, in order to help me with my qualification for GC30AD8 DGSc Challenge as well as have an attempt to finally do GC5G2PM 100, 10, 7 Challenge, which has been in my crosshairs for more years than I care to mention.The forecast for our day in the Wairarapa had threatened to put a bit of a dampener on our day, but in the end we were rain-free and spent a deal deal of our time in sunshine. We did get a bit of rain at about 3pm, but we had completed the NS by then so took that as a sign that our combined day was over. But as I was driving towards Greytown from Carterton (where we had met up to carpool) the weather suddenly cleared again so I figured this was an opportunity to get a few more caches under my belt, so decided to have a go at this one.I'd actually walked out to this spot not long ago, so had an idea of what was needed for this one. Hence a quick find at GZ, and I soon had my name on the log before replacing everything as found.Thanks for everything here.
Working in Masterton for 2 weeks and had the day off so collecting some caches around Greytown.A Happy New Year to you and may you have great geocaching adventures. Enjoyed the stroll to GZ and a straight forward find. Nice to have a quick find after doing Barking Mad and Jigidu which took up half for the day. Thanks NZ_B
#14,452. Joint {FTF} and first day find. Parked for a short walk in Woodside, South Wairarapa District. Fortunately, the GZ was pretty quiet at the time of our visit. We needed to wait briefly for a couple of walkers to get past. Quick find. The cache was in excellent condition, all nice and dry inside. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log.*Thanks for the geocache placement, and for bringing us to this site, and **.T h a n k s. .f o r. .t h e. .c a c h e.**.M a u r u u r u. .k o e. .n u i. .a t u. .h o k i. .t e. .k e t e r o k i.*
out and about with Lamroc caching for the new year!Thank you for the cache! Happy New Year to you too!
{FTF} jointly with others after the very successful event on top of Mt. Dick. A pleasant short walk after we'd parked the car and a quick find of the cache. We signed the log TFT for Taybee, Flowerydaze and Talla64. Thanks for this new cache NZ_B.
{FTF} Jointly with others. Now this was an unusual hide from this CO with a walk involved to the cache after parking the car and no other way to reach the cache, other than a bike...... Don't think so!Out on the trail with Taybee and Flowerydaze looking for the Nifty Swifty series. First stop today we attended the event New Years Day Lunch up Mt Dickie then on the road around the Wairarapa to find as many as possible in the time available. Easy find here thanks to the hint. All good with this cache nice and dry FP awarded for the walk involved, TFTC NZ_B
