Not much room (Auckland) GC1HGZP

Description:

There is not much room in this cache… Another fun cache for kids young and younger at heart.

Tucked away in amongst some amazing properties, access is from Tudor Park Drive, We have been here a few times over the years to this access way. The location has an almost eerie clinical, ghost town feel about it, entrance is between two driveways (see photo).

The final cache is a small lock&lock camouflaged container guarded by a friendly troll (Don’t worry he does not bite! )

Cache contains some small swag items for swap and a cool surprise prize for the FTF!

Please ensure you place the final as found

Small Tree Big Cache GC1HGQD

What you’re looking for is a camouflaged ammo can, no bush whacking is required or needed.

A nice little spot that leads you down to the coast line, it’s also the logical launching pad if you’re venturing out to GC187B8 Jurassic Park but unlike Jurassic Pack this cache isn’t tide dependant and you don’t need to get your feet wet, it is brain dependant though so keep your wits about you as Small Tree Big Cache it’s the little sister cache of her big brother GC1CZ89 Big Tree Small Cache (geocache.geek.nz: Big Tree Small Cache)

Been on the to do list for a while now, not easy to drag Kathy to Church… even if it’s only for Geocaching. Kathy spotted it and signaled it was my job to fetch it. Nice quiet little spot, odd building mix of old and new.

Nice BIG cache, the kind we like to see makes a great little travel bug swap stop.
