Such a nice day for a bike ride. Cache is all good. TFTC

On a road trip with Jag 50. Quick find here with good clues. Thanks.

A plan was made with Net61 to find the caches along the HRT trail. We have ridden the trail before, but today we were doing it with 4 wheels (car) rather than 2 (bike). The sun was out, but the day was not too hot - perfect weather for this series. There was lots of flowering privet near gz which was making us sneeze. That didnt stop us from finding this cache though. TFTC

Thanks to the CO for planning and setting out this power trail. Nice to be a part of it with my own cache. Most of them are quick park and grabs but the odd one taking a bit more time.

I had a plan to come down from Auckland with supernannny to do the HRT trail from Te Aroha to Matamata. But she had offered to drive us everywhere in her hybrid car which is soo cheap to run and which was really nice of her. It was pouring with rain when she arrived to pick me up at 7am, did some caches along the way apart from the power trail, visited a friend in Hamilton for a much needed coffee, then home about 10pm. Not sure who found this one, being on the passenger side, it might have been me. But certainly not always the case. Even though supernannny was the driver, she got out of the car heaps too.

The hint made this a quick find in an obvious place. All good.....on to the next one!

A nice quick find here today thanks to the hint. Tftc

Quick find. Yay

Good cache in good condition. TFTC.

Travelling back down to Opotiki for work and as I had left earlier I wanted to cache on the way down to add to our numbers. I had checked and found a new addition to the HRT trail and this looked just the sort of detour that would be of interest.All the caches along this trail were in good condition and were easy to find and log. I took note of all the clues in the lids for future reference.Another quick find after originally over shooting GZ and having to turn back!!!Thanks for setting this trial up!

Part 2 to complete the new HRT caches, tail wind on the bike. All caches in good nick... Thanks for setting these up.

After a night in Auckland we decided to go to Te Aroha to Matamata to do the trailAnother quick easy find just about half way now on the trail

This has been a very enjoyable trail some great hide and quick find thanks for the afternoon

**#21,185**a great morning for it this morning, left home early to get out before the masses come out to play, only spotted a couple of muggles out along the trails.Quick find here, note down of the code and onto the next one.

Got a call from Boges to have an afternoon clearing this trail of caches. Another bushy Fence. Another cache.Thank you for the placement.

It was the first day back at school for the kids so it was a peaceful afternoon with KGD to go for a country drive and get these treasures. The weather forecast was for heavy showers but they went around us. Thanks for putting this together

On a mish with the NZ Flossy. A great day for it A nice trail to get our heads back in the game before heading to Dunedin. Many thanks.

Day trip with McJandals collecting these new caches. Having fun catching up and discussing how we should have got our bikes Oh well next time . Thanks for putting out all these caches and giving us a good day. TFTC
