Bryce Goes to London (Waikato) Claudelands, North Island, New Zealand

Checked at lunchtime today and it's definitely missing (ironically so is the nearby "gnarly" tree which has recently been removed). RIP BG2L.

My sister just talked us into geocaching (she celebrated her 100th find in the US) and so we tried to find our first today - but no luck. Fairly sure we had the right spot, as the clue led us to one place, but we couldn't find anything. For now I'll chalk it up to us being too new at this and hope we have better luck on our second try.

Will try back on this one after a few finds, considering we live about 10 minutes away only.

Parked @ Ferrybank and had a nice stroll up here. TNLNSL

This was one of my first caches, under the supervision of master hguo, who's introducing me in this new world!

No problems. There should be more of these in Hamilton, the city is full of nice spots that I'd like to be fooled into visiting!

Visited with Runzz and Surgez.

Found with Dysentry and Runzz

Found with Surgez & Dysentry. An easy find, a really good location. On a rather warm day. Cheers

Easy Find.
Lovely quiet spot in the heart of the CBD
The clue gives it away for sure.
Nothing in-nothing out

good place to relax easy find took putty left sml lion sl

It was harder to find a carpark than the cache. My first trip to Hamilton and my first Hamilton cache. I wish I had more time to look around.

cheers Squeekybobo

Quick check (it's handy working so close). Cache is still there - will drop in a few more trading goodies in the next day or so.

Hmmm - how come everyone found this easy and we didn't find it at all??? Never mind - on a flying visit through Hamilton so may be a while before we try again.

It wasn't till I was wandering around the locality that the naming of this cache struck me. Very clever [^]
Nice and quiet this morning; successful retrieval and replacement free of muggies.

Thanks for the cache.

19:20 A quick cache while stopping in Hamilton to replenish food supplies and before continuing on our NZ trip. Very pleasant surroundings. TNLN Thanks for the cache.

simple and easy....

Nice walk along the river walkway.
Easy find and not too many people around today.
TNLN
Thanks

A nice first cache find. Unfortunately didn't have a pen to write in the log. Container a little damp inside.

Took Kiwi.

Great day for a walk, made it a quick one we didn't want our car towed away. Not easy finding a park.

Nil in and nil out.

Next person needs to take a pencil, sorry we didn't have one to leave.

Thanks.

Feeling frustrated at having missed this one yesterday so went back after reading the clue and got straight onto it this time! We were certainly very close with our search the day before.

In: Kiwi (ex Ducks a plenty)
Out: Jumping Putty

Forgot to take the printout with us for this one and didn't manage to find it. However we were quite convinced we had the general area right

Busy walkway on Saturday afternoon. GPS was being
squirly, so hint was useful. Good start to weekend
of searching in the region.

Nice easy find.
A few muggles around though, so had to admire the view for a while.
No exchange.

Found it!

Decided to do a few caches on way back home from a friends wedding in Rotorua. This last of the day. (4 of 4). Went to get the TB that was ment to be here but Boges had not logged his visit or the TB find so it was almost a wasted visit. Took out sticky lollypops (geocache + food = mistake).

IN: Jumping Putty
OUT: Hairy Drawf Token

Took a new player to find the cache. Took Zeebloo so he could go to a new site. Left a chiefs mere

Nice easy find. Nothing out. Zeebloo travel bug in. Zeebloo just returned from a trip to Nth Vietnam with me and my family. Had a great time. Too many people there to find a safe place to cache anything.
Cheers

came to get another travel bug
took lumy the kiwi
left golf tees

Dropping Lumy off to continue his travels

new it was there just never taken the time until now, easy to find

You're right about it being easy. Did not know this walk way existed. Another place I would never have gone without geocaching.

TNLNSL

Thanks

First cache ever. Flatmate 'SuperBo' introduced us. Great way to get exercise and have fun.

Candle In
Sun stone Out

Tried to explain geocaching to my flatmates and they didn't get it. So I got them to do a cache and they loved it. Nice walk along the river to.

Well hidden cache in the middle of town. No problem with muggles - but the guy on the lawn mower was suspicious! Nothing in - nothing out.

Cache goodies were getting a bit sparse, so dropped in a few extra items.

A nice evening stroll before embarking on the Waipa Delta.
Nothing traded

My first night time find
OUT:KIWI SAILOR
IN:hairylittledwarf geocache token

Nice easy one, 3rd of the day.

been there, done it

Thank you for a lovely walk. Used the clues for an easy find. Took Muppet and left tape measure.
Thanks

Sunny day with 10 yr old daughter took hairclip and balm and left muppet and stickers

Stopped for a walk on my way south, Great place for a walk. No one around, easy find. Will come back
No swop.

Passing through. No swap. Dodging the showers.
Cheers, M@

When we drove pass bryce things started to make sense, the etrex was close again but had to use the clue. Silvafox just in front of us and had left us some goodies. Time for a coffee

Nice little jaunt and close to our favourite coffee outlet. Dropped Merv in for a change in scenery. Took out flower seeds, dice and chalk. Placed tissue pack and happy stone.

Found this one but an hour from when KaimaiKid was here - had the in-laws to be over from Australia so it was a good chance to show them what geocaching was all about. Liked the cache, and yep be careful of bystanders. Cache was hidden in a great place.

Left fridge magnet, took batteries..

Strewth has this place had a major upgrade since I was last here, approx. 15 years ago.

Awesum spot, very handy to car, and cache was quick and easy to find too.

swapped nil

cheers

Visited this one tonight in failing light. Amazing the number of Muggles jogging by, some very nice err... scenery . Took nothing left 4 AA Alkaline Batteries. Thanks .

Went looking yesterday (16th) but Muggle with beer in hand (10am) kept leaning on the fence, right by the [zrgny pnc]!! Will return another day!

Came back today...found it!

Had nothing to leave so (except GPS or car keys!) left nothing & took nothing, but got wet in downpour!!

Found cache!
I used Topo Maps and it told me it was on the wrong side of the river. [:(!]
My day off so went to look for it, I was lucky it was a tuesday and all Muggles where at school or at work.
Take a bicycle and do the whole track if you have time (it is a long way.)[^]

Easy one to find. nice area. had to watch geomuggles in area, before claiming cache. in: lucky die, out: cola car.

Thanks Squeekybobo.
