Logs for yvettetb 

What a nice day in Paihia and with a cruise ship in town, busy too. Drove up early to have lunch with Lis's Crew at a restaurant near the venue.It was great to see Brownie42 again as well as some local caches and some others I hadn't met before from Auckland and a campervam NZ cacher too.Great to chat to everyone, thanks for hosting another event in Paihia. 

Looking forward to catching up with everyone, sorry for the late notice. I hope it's a nice sunny afternoon in Paihia today foe the event. 

Looking forward to attending as last year's event was fantastic and catching up with everyone. 

Thanks for the puzzle, solved it a while ago and went out for a drive this afternoon and called in to grab this cache on the way home. Quick find at GZ. 

Solved the puzzle a while ago but was in the area so went for a walk for a quick find at GZ. Thanks for the puzzle and cache. 

Looking forward to the event 

I planning on attending to help you celebrate this awesome achievement. 

Checked on this cache today whilst I was in the area on a GirlGuiding camp, the cache had a little 'cache creep' so it has been moved to its original location and is looking good. 

Unfortunately I don't think I can attend this event, hope to see you next month. 

On a walk with the Kamo Guides tonight and picked up this cache on our way as I had found a precious version. Fairly quick find at GZ. TFGC 

In Auckland this morning for Leap Day to get the various Project GC badge add-ons. We popped down to Auckland last night due to the Brynderwyns being closed so we could make the most of our Annual Leave day.Great little hide and the traffic wasn't too bad. TFGC. Found with Lis's Crew and 0B80B8.

Thanks 0B80B8 for organising this event, great location for dinner after a busy day caching. Thank you.. 

Attended with Lis's crew & 0B80B8 as we were on a Leap Day adventure starting the day in Auckland to get all available cache types and sizes in one day, we event managed to achieve a few FTF's in Auckland, Mangawhai & Whangarei. It was a beautiful day for caching and great that we managed to fit in a CITO and cleaned up this local park area. Thanks for organising this CITO.

In Auckland this morning for Leap Day to get the various Project GC badge add-ons. We popped down to Auckland last night due to the Brynderwyns being closed so we could make the most of our Annual Leave day.Definitely a scramble down the back to get this cache but due to the fabulous summer weather lately our sneakers where perfect for todays journey. The cache was quickly located at GZ and we were soon heading back to the car (which was easier than the way to the cache). TFGC. Found with Lis's Crew and 0B80B8. 

Making good time on our Leap Day caching trip from Whangarei so are planning on attending tonight's event before an exciting day caching in and around Auckland tomorrow. 

Had popped down from Whangarei for our Leap Day caches on the 29th Feb. I totally didn't expect to find a group of 38 geocachers from a group attending this event and being one of the 3 locals (that weren't actually locals, more like fellow NZers), which was a shame that no other local caches were available to attend.It was great to get to talk to a number of the fellow German caching group and find out about their past travels and travels on this trip. Thanks for organising this event. 

Last minute decision to go camping yesterday morning and Otamure DOC campsite was the choosen destination. What a great campsite and beautiful beach. After packing up camp and moving our cars to the public area we set off to find the last two caches in this area. We went to what we thought would be GZ to find we were a little out and then thought we were totally in the wrong place, however found the details we were looking for. This cache requires walking shoes as the path disappears so we had to bush bash the last 50 odd metres to GZ. We managed to find the cache but unfortunately didnt see any Pateke (think we may have heard a couple). Thanks for bringing me here and TFGC. Found with The TravelbugTribe, Nessvab & BeansproutNZ. 

Last minute decision to go camping this morning and Otamure DOC campsite was the choosen destination. What a great campsite and beautiful beach. We all set up camp before heading for a swim and then of course needed to get this geocache before heading off to get some dinner at the local store/takeaway shop.A quick walk from where we were swimming to GZ and we soon had the cache in hand. Thanks for bringing me here and TFGC. Found with Nessvab & BeansproutNZ

Last minute decision to go camping yesterday morning and Otamure DOC campsite was the choosen destination. What a great campsite and beautiful beach. After packing up camp and moving our cars to the public area we set off to find the last two caches in this area. There were a few steps involved in venturing to GZ however once there is was a reasonable quick find. The cache does need some attention as it doesnt have a lid so therefore the log was saturated and unfortunately we didnt bring a spare with us. What beautiful views on this walk and at GZ. Thanks for bringing me here and TFGC. Found with Nessvab & BeansproutNZ. 

Thanks for organising this event on Leap day, I am planning on attending. 

I'm planning on attending this event and exploring some of the local area. 

Looking forward to catching up with everyone at this event on Leap Day 

What a fantastic way to spend Waitangi Day 2024 caching on Urupukapuka Island, the temperature was a little too hot (26) but the views were magical. Liss Crew and I took the 8.30am boat out to the island with others who were continuing on to the Hole in the Rock. The boat left Paihia for Russell, collected a few passengers before making its way to Waitangi for us to witness the spectacular Waka Parade as they paddled under the bridge and along the shore before heading out to the island. We travelled back on the 5.45pm boat to Paihia giving us time to have a beverage and snack in Otehei Bay.Liss Crew and I walked up and down the hills exploring the island and finding all the caches (except the multi).This was another easy find cache at GZ and a lovely spot to stop for some afternoon tea. We decided not to venture down to the beach close by this time as we went sure how much time it would take to get back. TFGC and thanks for bringing me here.

What a great place for a camping holiday.Thanks for the cache in this fantastic location.We found this cache quickly (or the hint) however we took a minute or two to get the cache in hand (& to pop it back in its rightful place).

Unfortunately the outside containers lid has broken so it was half full of water. The log was in another container however was very wet, as we were at the junction and were coming back this way we discreetly hung the log up and put the container out to dry while we ventured off to get the other caches in the area before coming back and putting the nice and dry log back in the cache and rehiding it. TFGC and bringing us here.

Thanks for bringing us here and TFGC.For further caches information we went to this cache before Heading to Paradise as we preferred to walk up the stairs rather than down them.

Congratulations Lis on your full calendar for January. It was a great evening with lots of local caches able to attend and chocolate chip cookies. 

Attended Lis's Full Calendar Event nearby so it was great that one of the group was armed with a folding ladder (very envious of his fantastic TOTT ) The tree was an oldie in the reserve and glad that one of the group attendees was happy to climb up the ladder to get the cache. A local muggle mentioned to a few of the group members the history of the tree.This puzzle was easy to solve once I had a hint from a local geocacher puzzle whizz. Thanks for this challenging puzzle and cache. 

Exciting Lis, yes planning on attending and would prefer to see the views from the ground lol. 

We went for a walk along the Redwood Treetops before exploring the tracks underneath. Great hide, spent ages on the wrong side of the track on another tree but once at GZ easy find. Thanks for bringing me here and TFGC.
