Quick and easy find, although the camo deserved a longer look. I used to spend many days at a nearby pig farm when I was growing up. Thanks.
Last one for the day. Took the whole family for the walk to GZ. Quickly spotted the cache container as am getting used to looking for the item that appears normal. TFTC
GPS decided to tell me to cross the grass and keep going some meters although while at GZ I spotted what I thought would have been it however I decided to go with my GPS
Wife was more onto it this day as a quick find with a yell even though I was like crossing fences and wandering why I would decide to follow my GPS that day!
Good cameo

Really neat hiding place, thanks for warning about traffic as had 3 excited children which I had to hold back. TFTC
Last one for the day and another great hide. Busy road so thanks for the warning of where to park The views weren't too good as it was late in the day and raining T4TC.
hey 2nd cache found and 2nd in one day, very clever hide, new user here just starting this out!!:)
thanks alot
thanks alot
Made a quick dash to beat the rain. Found quickly. Nice Camo. Used to live out this way so enjoyed seeing the area again after many years. SL. TFTC.
In the book of LEDGIN'S Found at 1610hrs. Greetings from Brisbane, Australia. Cool hide - Man after our own hearts! TNLN TFTC
Another of glyn's cool camo jobs. Have driven past for ages and never checked what was in the area. Still an easy find. TFTC
Good work!... I actually picked it up and moved it without seeing the cache - when was only when I'd replaced it it saw a glint of something not like the sourrounding material!
tricky one! TFTC!

Uhm, clever. Nice piece of work. Seattle's Best came in with the win on this one! Horses greeted us, but watch out for traffic! TNLN Cheers.
Having just paid homage to The Great Glyn at the nearby memorial... we had to come here and pick this up. Parked Splat within 3 meters.. an advantage to riding a 2 wheel cache machine. TK was circling the obvious and I had it my hand before TK said.. thats it..!! very excellent... Another Glyn masterpiece. Signed the log and replaced carefully.

Out on the prowl for westie caches with XenaCommander. TK perched on the pillion seat of Splat - the city cache machine. XC grabbed the goods and was about to replace when TK spied the cache.. grand teamwork indeed.
Great hide with fantastic camo, and thanks for another look at the view.

Cheers for the cache.

Quick find after visiting some Westie friends. Not sure I managed to convert my friend who was with me to the joys of geocaching. Great little hide.
Very nice camo indeed. GPSr was pointing another 10-15m past the cache into the field but I figured that can't be right so ignored it and went with my instincts.
Very nice views especially of the Waitakere's, an area I am keen to visit sometime soon.

Very Quick find, clever camo idea. TFTC and thanks for the view, lovely counryside.
Found this one on a a sunny Sunday afternoon with not too many (car-)muggles around. We were puzzled by the hint (sometimes it sucks that English isn't our first language), but we tried (and managed) to not tear the whole 'area' apart. The cache was found pretty quickly in the end (what a cool camo!), so we signed the log and put the cache back to its former place (hopefully).

Was passing the cache today, as I often do . Thought I would see if all was well and the cache is fine and still there Gyln. Then I ran back to the car before the clouds opened up.
DOH DOH DOH.... Dad had a brain fade on this one...previously just went off a hunch coz I knew where the actual highest point was!!!!! No wonder none of the other comments made sense...
Used Google Earth & "Boss gotta take son to the doctors" it was nearenuf to spot on... a bitof the ol'nosey nose & we had it. Having done another of Glynns ones we decided he must be a real nosey nose to find such good hiding spots. Log book full!!!
Dug spent ages feeding the cows, better doing this than spending hols watching T.V.
Thanks for getting me outa the office

Darn--- The old nosey nose failed us on this one. I even "encouraged" Dug up the nearby power pole with a stick to check in the holes..no joy.. will return during the week as its always more fun on the bosses time.Regds Muzza N Dug.
Haha! Fantastic hide! BB2 certainly felt stoked to get this one.
Have to admit the coordinates were directing us into the paddock, but when we decided to stop and enjoy the view... Bingo!
Also we signed off on the last page in the log book. Thanks!

#468. Took literally one second to find the cache. Must be my lucky day. Dropped micro geocoin although cant now decipher my own writing so I'm going to have to back track to find the number to log it. Oops. TFTC.
I dropped off [url=http://www.travelertags.com/index.php?option=com_travelview&func=details&tid=110550]Moneydorks Micro Coin (Traveler Tag #T1AFD6)[/url] here. Please help move it along!

10.40pm. Decided on a late expedition. First of three. Easy find but top covered in big beetles. Lady member of our partyu put her hand on the but did not scream! Nice view of the lights. Thank you David & Noeline
10:30 Off to the tip today to remove some rubbish from the result of the last Aucklands winter. We spotted a suspicious looking character hanging around the cache location
We stopped off and had a chat with this character that turned out to be tofska. Great to meet you Matt.
We thought we had better make a huge effort and finally find the cache. Its quite annoying as we drive past here all the time
The cache was located finally, after a short search, great hide indeed. Not what I was expecting at all.
Thanks Glyn for the cache, great fun.

A very well disguised cache - and a bit stubborn too.
KiwiGary toots just as I was averaging a waypoint (as above). Great to meet you Gary! That's the third geocacher encounter this weekend (and I see elsewhere it has been just the weekend for that!) Gosh - maybe there's so many of us now that this might be a regular occurance!

Second visit here, but still no luck so a DNF for us. Will have another look after someone has more luck than us.
Easy find... must have looked dodgey 2 guys standing on the side of the road in the pissing rain tho.
Found with BFR, was the second find for the day.
Another nice hide and camo, cheers

Another cheeky spot for a cache! There was a mare and her foal just across the fence when I was looking. Thanks Glyn
Having just done another Glyn cache we had a clue as to the hide modus operandi. Sneaky hide too.
Thanks for the cache!

When I read cache description had a good idea of location. Wrong. However 'trekky' soon put me on the right track.

Great views but could see the rain coming.
Owners next door do not like you parking 50 metres east on north side near first drive

Went back for 2nd look after checking co-ords (thanks Glyn), and I had Lots of Laughs when I eventually found it.

When this cache was listed I saw it was 4km distant and thought about rushing out but then realised it was way longer distance by road. This morning I had to pick up a vehicle just up the road so of course I stopped off. The Gpsr wanted me to tresspass in private property but I opted to stay on the public side of the fence. I had a couple of pokes around before deciding what did not look quite kosher. Nice cammo job though.
