Northwood is homeward bound (Waikato) Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

northwood: Went up for a walk yesterday, past the old spot for this cache and congratulated myself on having moved it because the fence is completely gone now. But when I got to the cache, I discovered work there too had removed the fence round the tree. No cache to be found.

I think the tree will stay, but with the amount of work in and around the new path (there's a bridge going over the river very close by(, I've decided to archive this one.

Maybe when all the work is done, and better spot will present itself, in 2-3 years.

Geocache Description:


Part of the "Walking with Northwood" series.

This point is close to the usual furthest point on Northwood's regular walk through the Hamilton Gardens.

It's outside the main area on the gardens and only a short walk from the Hamilton East Cemetery. There are several other caches to find in the vicinity.

A tool is with the log to help with extraction and rolling the log back up well. Please replace the tool for the next cacher. You will need to bring your own pen.

Please be careful searching and replacing the cache container so it cannot be seen. Thank you.

Update April 2019: There are significant earthworks in the area but these do not stop clear and safe access to the cache. In fact it's interesting to see how the work is progressing.

Logging Etiquette: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning to place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or emoticon logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
