Nice easy grab. Quick one while on our work Xmas function Smile thanks! 
 
15-Oct-15
Not very muggly while walking the dogs tonight so decided to grab at least one cache. Dogs stayed still enough for me to slide my fingers in and get it. Realised after I found it that I didn't have a pen on me, so will sign the log on one of the next walks Smile

Yay thanks to Happyfacedbandits quick duck and grab we managed to log a find after a day full of DNFs! Thanks for the nice easy cache Smile 
 
HappyFaceBandit and I tried a spot of whale watching - none to be found here today sadly. 
 
Happyfacebandit and I tried for quite a while to nut this one out. Found Liz's crew & GraciesGPSfun here while we were at it but even with four of us, no cache to be found this time. 
 
Did not have any luck with this one, even after adding the clue into the mix unfortunately. Lots of interesting quotes here though, will have to come back and give it another go sometime. 
 
Found with Happyfacedbandit Smile true to name this was a nice easy Park and grab, just what we needed after the mixed bag day we have had. Thanks for the cache! 
 
Found with Happyfacedbandit. Such a pretty area! The "path" to this cache was quite easy to find once we got past the first few flax. Lots of room for goodies but we took/left nothing this time around. Thanks Very Happy

Happyfacebandit suggested we did a trip here for Earth Cache Day and I am glad we did! I have driven past here so many times over the years and never realised such an interesting natural feature was right under my nose. Was nice and quiet at the beach so we took the opportunity to do some CITO while strolling back to the car. Thanks for drawing our attention to this spot and teaching us something new about our beautiful backyard Smile 
 
We decided to give this a go after no luck with "Guided by the Hwæl" in the carpark. This track gave us quite a workout but we were rewarded with stunning views at the top. We got part way up the unformed but obvious track before the height and I had a disagreement. HappyFacedBandit pushed on best she could but couldn't see the cache either. Will have to pluck up a bit more courage/fitness to try this again Wink 
 
Happyfacedbandit was the eagle eye to spot this one! This happened to be one of Risers easier tree hides (or we are getting better at this) either way, thanks for the cache! Very Happy 
 
21-Sep-15
Took a while for my GPS to settle, tried several Punga trees but no joy. The weather isn't on my side today so will give it another go another time. 
 
Nice quick grab. Thanks for the cache Smile 
 
My partner in crime spotted this one. I overlooked a vital clue in the description but the hint made perfect sense once he found the cache. What a cool hide Very Happy thanks. 
 
Another nice quick grab. Lucky enough to have the area to ourselves today so making the most of it. Thanks for the cache! 
 
Nice easy grab, log and contents were really damp but managed to leave my mark. Took/left nothing. Thanks for the cache Smile 
 
Had the place to myself, tried a few of the trees since my phone couldn't decide between two of them but this one got the better of me. Hope it's still there since there have been a few previous DNFs. Will give it another go next time I am here. 
 
Few muggles about but luckily they were more interested in the falls than me so nipped to the location easily enough. Cool cache! Thanks Smile 
 
Nice easy find. Stunning old church! Thanks for the cache Smile 
 
Cool spot for a cache! Nice and quiet today so was an easy grab. Thanks Very Happy 
 
20-Sep-15
Managed to find it easy enough Smile surprised that this place is sitting empty and untouched. Dropped off Ninja Guy in the hope that someone more of a traveller than me will help him on his mission. Lots of room for other loot. Thanks for the cache! 
 
Asked the coffee guy for a hint in the end as I didn't want the muggles in the other parked guys to know what I was up to. Dropped of CITO TB and picked up Ninja Guy. Thanks! Smile

Nice quick find, log book was soaked so I tried to dry it out best I could and added some fresh paper. I also wrapped the bottle in some plastic to hopefully keep it a bit dryer for the next finder. TFTC Smile 
 
First find after trying a few around paparoa/maungaturoto. Picked up the other trackable and left a fuzzy little rhino for the next finder. Outer container was full of water but inner one was bone dry. Think I got the outer lid on well enough when I was done. Thanks Very Happy 
 
No luck for me with this one! Hopefully it is still there somewhere 
 
Wow what a stunning tree! Well worth the trip out just to admire the sheer size of it. Cache was a nice easy find, a little damp inside the container but the logbook was well protected. Took/left nothing this time. Thanks! Very Happy 
 
12-Sep-15
Nice quick find with HappyFacedBandit during her birthday cache Mish. Very beautiful spot. Thanks for the cache Very Happy 
 
Last cache for this weekends mish and what a fun one to end on... definitely not the container I was expecting! Freaked the other half out when I proudly presented him my latest find to look at. The log is starting to get a bit full but will last a few more visits. Thanks for the cache Very Happy 
 
Found with HappyFacedBandit Very Happy we left some loot for the next finder Smile thanks! 
 
Took a wee bit of rummaging around but found easy enough with HappyFacedBandit, thanks for the cache! Very Happy 
 
Picked up the TB and other trackable which I will try drop in new locations on my next cache mish. Left one of my fuzzy rhinos for a future finder. This cache is pretty jam packed, was fun checking out all the loot. Thanks! Very Happy

Last log of the day for HappyFacedBandit's birthday Mish. Awesome afternoon touring around one tree point Smile 
 
Found with HappyFacedBandit Very Happy thanks for getting this cache up and running again 
 
Credit to HappyFacedBandit for spotting this one! I was looking to far into the wrong spot on this cache. Didn't take/leave anything this time around but definitely room to for those who want to Smile thanks. 
 
Found with the help of HappyFacedBandit's GPS as my phone decided to quit on me. What a cool little cache this is! 
 
Managed to not get too boggy this time! (probably because doggy had to sit this one out) another find thanks to the help of HappyFacedBandit's navigation skills. Definitely not somewhere I would have ever gone if not for the cache, so thanks for the adventure!

Nice easy find for me and one very boggy doggy (she loved the fact we managed to go the muddiest way around) definitely accessible without getting grubby though Smile log was pretty wet unfortunately but managed to leave our scribble. Thanks! 
 
Was good to stretch the legs on my lunch break and enjoy a walk through this beautiful park while nabbing another well hidden cache Smile quite a few good hiding spots here to keep you on your toes! 
 
Log was a bit damp but managed to leave our mark Smile awesome little spot! Thanks 
 
Found with HappyFacedBandit plus mini Wink and CourteneyATG. What a peaceful spot. TFTC! 
 
Gave it a good shot but ran out of time today, this one managed to elude our crew. Will definitely give it another go another day

This was my first ever Geo Cache find Smile brought along a fellow newbie to chalk up a find aswell. What an awesome idea - thanks for the fun introduction to the game!
