Found, thanks

Thanks

Nice cover

After the Garden I walked back on the river and found it fast. Thank you

Thanks for the Cache Found by the ABCD family

We were driving past so of course we popped over to find this cache. It was a quick find amongst the walkers out and about. I hid it a bit more carefully as it was out in the open. TFTC #3400

Haven't been to this part of the river before. Found with trayc.g. Tftc

Great find

Quite easy. Bambollakoo for life! TFTC

Just in Hamilton for the day Great wee hide thanks

Found it after some searching. Forgot to bring a pen, so Ill come back tomorrow

Found it with @Lighrtshro, nice little spot also forgot a pen unfortunately

Wow that took a bit finally got it

Sneaky spot really good tho

sneaky spot best one weve found

Nice hide!

wow what a sneaky spot tftc

Thanks for the cache it was a really cool hiding place

a bit harder spot than we are used too. nice hiding spot. took us a little longer but well worth the search

Not even close.

Found! ...we did have to cheat a bit and look at a photo though

If you look carefully you’ll find it

Decided to take a lunchtime walk to find this one and, sure enough, located the cache quite quickly. Surprised I missed it the first time but isn't that always the case? TFTC

Hunted around for 20 minutes before running out of time. Will be back to see if I missed something obvious

Me and my son's first cache. Hopefully sparks a new passion. Cheers

Needs new log cuz we filled the last slot easiest micro ever

Great spot to get bitten by sand Flys

Perfect autumn day to gather sweet chestnuts. And caches. Thanks ZL1CJH

A nice quick find. It is a great walk/cycleway resource for the city. Thanks for placing your cache.

Ms_KR and I went for a wee walk cuise around Hamilton today. It was a lovely day for a drive, though the traffic and road works were a bit busy.

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. .

Easy found - thanks!

Nice hide, took a little bit of looking and keeping an eye on muggles who are already out and about on this fantastic walkway. Enjoying a leisurely stroll towards the gardens, picking up caches along the way. TFTC.

Took me a while to find. Especially with all the muggles walking passed. TFTC

Such a beautiful, peaceful area and a wonderful little cache

This cache was hidden a lot better than I anticipated it would be. It took me a few minutes to get my hands on it. I always appreciate it when the cache owner finds out information about the history of a location and shares it by way of the cache description.

Found

Where was the front of the tree

no

Hard to find it even moved some bark.

Hard

Our final find of the day and a great one to end on. Very sneaky.
When we arrived at GZ a muggle was there with his dog and we thought he might be a geocacher as he was rummaging around in the foliage but it turned out he was doing something with the nearby traps.
While we waited for him to finish we walked over to have a look at the river and also read the cache description which is very interesting.
When the coast was clear we headed over to look for the cache and overlooked it a few times as we circled the area but a closer and methodical search eventually revealed the well concealed container.
Thanks psychrn for this and all your other great caches in the area. We look forward to finding more on our next visit to Hamilton.

Removing the needs maintenance log as its been found since this was placed

Yikes! Sneaky, but obviously hiding spot. Love it!

TFTC good hide

Nice find thanks to the clues

Super sneaky! TFTC!!!!!

Even after using all the hints we could get, still could not find the cache.

Might be gone because it hasn’t been found in three months

Down in Hamilton with Merlot58.
Around and around the tree we went.
Merlot finally spot it on the right angle.

In Hamilton for the weekend so an opportunity to get some smiley faces on my map here. Sneaky hide, we were about to give up when with one last look I managed to make the find

Fun one.think big!

Took a while but the clues helped us to find it. Nice location!

Easy find

Easy find as it was lying out in the open. Replaced in spot closer to co-ordinates

My first one.

Kids loved this one!

A nice quick find on our way to Hamilton Gardens. TFTC

Out on my bike riding the trails and getting caches as I go along
Many thanks

Found it - hint works a treat

Thanks!

Very well hidden

Was a good find

Omg! Took a while but good hide
Warning! #Spoiler if you can see the pic clearly. May need to zoom in if it’s difficult to find x

I never know which side the hint refers to since all sides fit the hint depending on how you look at it. After a few loops around, I eventually saw a little bit sticking out at me. TFTC.

New log sheet inserted and replaced. Nice and dry here

Took us a while to find, but it was lovely! No more room to write tho

Saw it as I walked up. Have hidden a bit better.

Great little hidey hole

Clever hide. Took ages but nice walkway. Tftc

Great little hiding spot! Room for one more name on log

Nice little hide spot. Needs a new log sheet.

Quite a few muggles hanging out near by on this hot day there must be a swimming area. Signed and put it back. TFTC. Might need new log soon. Room for a couple more names.

Finally found this one, been coming back for years! Get low. Tftc

Perfect hide for a micro!

quiet place

I had a day off from playing Bridge today to go caching instead.
A nice part of the walkway. It's a pity I failed in my attempt to hire a bike for the day.
Still, the walk to and from the car was enjoyable.
TFTC

Didn’t have a pen but found it. Lovely lunchtime walk while on my break. I didn’t even realise the river walk came down here. Tftc

The rain shower resulted in the GZ being deserted. Not a walker, jogger or dog owner in site.
Unfortunately did get rather wet....
Tftc

In Hamilton for the day with kids to meet up with my sister and her kids. A few caches before hand great cache. Wow this is a busy walkway. Lucky i have kids as cover. Tftc

Tftf after late brunch at Hayes Common

Delicious brunch at Hayes Common and a wee walk along the river. TFTC

More lunchtime fun!

Good hide!

Find #3138. In Hamilton for a couple of days to see Field Days. Finished early so parked at the gardens and went cycling along the river for a few k’s, collecting the odd cache.
Very quiet on this trail this afternoon. Quickly found, signed & returned. TFTC

Phew....don't know why I couldn't find this in the past.....
Tonight it was in the first place I looked....!
Thanks so much for placement .

Easy... Nice... Perfect hint!

Found

A Saturday to spare so the call was made to gather those free for a small raid on the Waikato. McJandals and TNXPro were able to join me and meander through the country side collecting this cache on our travels.

This cache was found quickly and in good condition thanks to accurate coords and a straight forward placement. I appreciated the write up on this one. Cheers psychrn, TFTC

On another roadie with P.P and McJ.
Another nice area to explore. Thanks for bringing us here.
TFTC

On a roadie (from Tauranga) with Philip Perry and TNXPRO. I am logging using the Cachly app template so please excuse generic logging along the way. It’s just my way of keeping track, but I do genuinely thank each and every one of you cache owners for taking the time and energy to place these caches. Many Thanks for bringing me here. Cheers

Thanks for the hide. Awesome local

Awesome find. Was tough but got there. Thanks for the cache. Signed and replaced.

Usually when I visit Hamilton, there's too many family members to catch up with, and only time for some quick caches if I'm lucky, but today I found myself with half a day free to wander around by myself so I headed to the rose gardens and then on down the river bank.
This was the only cache along the riverbank that I didn't have to walk past as they had muggles all around them.
A quick search soon showed the cache, although it was a little challenging getting it out of it's nook using only my left hand (cast on the right hand), but I got there in the end.
Thanks for putting this here psychrn

Geocaching in the rain... it's a lovely walk near the river, well maintained and not much rubbish around the area. Found GC, signed log. TFTC

Another sneaky hide which had us guessing for a while, lovely area.

Quick find. TFTC.

#330. Front back. Up down. Two feet four feet. Left right. Aha moment. Extracted and logged. Tftc.

TFTC from Fin

Nice spot on a nice walk, had to be careful not to pole it further into the hole before retrieving it.

Nice cute hide TFTC
