Nice quick find. TFTC

Tftc more later

Found on Easter Sunday morning, a quick find.

Nice logical find by Mr C, when Mrs C went to get log to sign I used the small dry replacement log. The logbook is paper mache and not able to get code word for the bonus cache. Thanks for the cache bumandworker.

Thanks for hiding this cache bumandworker I appreciate it. I am out on a solo geocaching trip in my campervan. There's a geocaching event up in Blenheim on Thursday and a lot of unfound hides

Ok

Log book not signable s it is in pieces. I put a piece of paper in and signed that but it won't last long. Definitely in need of some tlc

The log paper is really, really wet. TFTC.

I spent over my normally allotted time all to no avail.

Nice early evening walk after work with a muggle friend who has a great nose for finding elephant trails! Reluctant revisit here, but this time success! I did not check that side of the fence last time... TFTC!!

Found it after a fair while and probably looking dodgy to muggles
The log book was wet and breaking apart.. I think I got the bonus cache code but some could have been missing too... I dont have anything to replace it with sorry (plus not being sure of the code). TFTC
*** Along with a few other caches today I signed this one as the 23rd Jan, my mistake there, it was found on the 25th***

Spotted this line of caches on the cycle trail from SH1 as I drove in yesterday. Out on a cyclocache ride this morning to convert them all into smilies. Unfortunately this didn't turn out to be a smile.

No luck for me here today.

In need of CITO here.

Bit of a hunt, gps was off by a few metres all day today, so not surprising. Lv 2 rules followed. TFTC

Easy cache

Another stunning sunny Marlborough autumn day! Checking out the Riverlands cycle/walkway and hopefully knocking off few caches on the way. TFTC

Found

Took us a while...but eventually Jan spotted this....I had been checking out white pipes unecessarily....LMAO....

In Blenheim for four days after a family reunion in Picton.
Nice sweet hall.

Was tricked by an additional eclipse tin keep looking finally found it

spacenarwhale and I were in Blenheim for a late afternoon appointment today, which went much more easily than planned. That put us in the mood to venture a bit farther out of our to-town-and-back-again loop, so we decided to give this one a try. It took us a bit longer than expected to find it, but once we were at GZ we spotted the camouflage quickly.
Thank you for the cache.

found with 3Prettys on Election Day

Found with wife I was right to look in a certain area

On the way home had to stop for this quick png as I normally only here when it's school hours busy

Stuck in Blenheim for a few days with vehicle problems. Not Plan A but at least it gives us some extra time to cache. Decided to walk the Riverlands rail trail. Managed to get all the caches along the route. Some were quick other took much longer. Knowing they had all been found recently did help me to persevere at times. Got the cache here and collected the required information. Thanks

Simple park and grab

Nice easy find on a great day out. TFTH

Very well hidden alright I think it should do with the some hints as it’s quite difficult anyway got it thanks all good

Quick easy park and grab. Ty

And, as I suspected, on my 4th visit here I find the container with one familiar name on it. As I had already prepared a more suitably camoed container I transferred the log to the new container and re-hid it, with a small covering of road. I also wrote the 'code' on the log and another bit of paper for the Bonus one. Thanks to the CO and CO junior for attending to it recently. Now I have found and signed all 6 needed for the Bonus I don't feel so guilty signing it yesterday.

new log in. but container needs updating to something less obvious next ti,e we are nearby.

I am attempting to get all the clues for the bonus one linked to this but couldn’t find anything here, no clue, no container.

will be checking this next time past...may take a week or tow as travel is a bit limited. But it will happen.
That said, stopped here recently and cache still there, very well hidden in natural litter

No joy for me here today

Found had to wait for a car to go so waited and then It went and a qef
Sorry forgot pen be back soon to sign it

A quick and easy find. Now why couldn't I find this the last couple of times I have looked! Thanks B&W fav point for the relief.

A weekend away, first this month!! Time to cache around a bit and then head home.

Thanks to the CO's for placing and maintaining these caches. Cheers.

This took far too long for me to find, it turned out to be an easy enough find once I was looking in the correct angle. Luckily it was not too busy in the area today so I reached through and made the grab, signed and returned it as found. Thanks for placing this cache

A quick find. Easily accessible despite appearances. Thanks for the cache!

#4336. I was over in Blenheim today for a meeting and allowed enough time after the meeting to pick up a few local caches before heading home. The weather was a stunning Marlborough winter day which always helps with cache hunting. I have done a fair few bus shelter caches over the past 3 years but I think seven in a day is a record. Also got to enjoy the delights of power boxes, bridge barrier magnetics and vineyard signs. All up a fun day scooping a bunch of fairly easy caches to boost the August tally. Thanks to the cache owners for making the time and effort to put these out for our caching pleasure. Nice to convert a blue face to a yellow smiling one. For once the fence helped narrow down the options. Quickly spied the hiding place. Reachable at a stretch.

Quick find, TFTC.

Checked...and BTW, cache is reachable from out side both fences.

No luck today.

Cache probably behind the fence that goes all around the building. Earthquake repairs? Cheers.

Next time.......

Busy morning caching in Blenheim and great fun too. Good to have a few days off work to enjoy. Tftc

Arrived at Riverlands and found the cache after just a brief hunt. thanks.

Quick find for us here today tftc

number 2 gonna be a good day

Tftc

Quick find this morning with eltee291! Visiting from BC, Canada! Signed the log and replaced as found. Thanks for the cache!

Quickly found tday today with hingis20. In NZ from Victoria, BC, Canada visiting family in Blenheim for a while and geocaching. TFTC

With Jojo at work this morning I thought I would do a couple of caches on the way to my work place also. This is the second last of this series for us and an easy find. Thanks B&W.

Nigel Navigator & I are out for a stroll along the Riverlands Rail Trail on a beautiful Blenheim day.
The Rail trail is in the bag so lets knock this one off. Cheers

After a couple of attempts we have finally found it. Yah!

Huzzah!! This is our 4th visit here in two years and we finally found it! Thank you to an experienced cacher who gave us a wee hint. I'd swear we've looked at that spot before but to no avail. Ah well. All ended well today. And now I can look for the others and go after the bonus cache!

Found with FluffyUnicorn02, PotterFan16279, and crman1. TFTC

We have tried to find this before. Finally managed it today. Not sure what we were missing the last 3 times.

Found with coastalmartinis, crman1, and PotterFan16279.

Out for a big day of geocaching. 30 on the list and we thought we'd see how many we could find. Did well today and found almost all of them. All were great hides, and we even learned stuff along the way.

Apologies for generic log, but so many to log before bed! Thanks to all the COs!!

Found with coastalmartinis, FluffyUnicorn02, and PotterFan16279.

We went out for a family day of geocaching. I think we had 30 on our list and only DNF a few. All of them were really cool hides. Thanks so much to all the COs who thought them up.

I'm really sorry to leave the same log for all of them but I don't type very well and there are so many I have to log tonight.
Found with FluffyUnicorn02, crman1, and coastalmartinis.

Found all safe and secure TFTC

Hard find in the dark.

Found

Found, signed and gone!

Our GPS led us astray and then cooperated. Too bad we don't have time to complete the series.
Chris & Renate from Ontario, Canada

Tftc, nice simple find for Mr 4.

#1434 Quick find with wb-jnr.

Gotta wonder why some folk use felt pens to log and use several pages rather than a single line. Hhmmmm.

Thanks for another South Island smilie. All good at GZ

Yebo bumandworker
On a hike tour around Marlborough county we try to get rid of the wine-belly and do some caching
And another number found
Tftc

O Boy!!! what a full on 5 days of caching. Driving/Sailing to attend the Christchurch Mega Event with Squirrel Nutcase and also picking up caches on the way to help us complete our Dot Days and Challenges we are currently trying to fulfill. We traveled to so many places that we have never visited before and with 240 plus caches later knew we had had an eventful few days.

8.15am - Cache a little damp but still able to sign. SLTFTC

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)...

On our way to NZ Mega Christchurch 2015, and caching as we go. We planned to stay close to the main highway and only venture off into the countryside where appropriate... That didn't always work for us. A 4-5 hour journey ended up taking us almost two days; such was the sheer number of caches we encountered along the route.

We are pleased to report that almost all of the caches we stopped for were in place and in good order. Besides a bit of dampness, there was nothing of concern. This is a feat that cache owners in this area of the country can be proud of... We thank you... Thank you for bringing to our attentions areas of significance. We enjoyed discovering scenic areas, historical and social locations, and other personally meaningful spots.

As stated, we found loads of caches... If we were to write an individualised note for each one, we'd never get the logging done. Hence, there will be a lot of cutting and pasting going on... My apologies!!

Marlborough: It took a while to find this one. Our iPhone gps were wanting us to stay close to the building. Searching widely helped, and Gap soon had this one in hand. TFTC.

Would have loved to have the time to walk the cycle trail and find those ones between this and the last one I found of yours but thems the breaks. At least I have a few to keep the numbers ticking over.

Finally another bit of info for the bonus cache. Just one more. It's taking us years but we'll get there Thank you Bumandworker.

This was the last find in this area before we headed for home again after a long day caching. I let Hazedarus do the retrieval here, I'm good like that We also remembered to get the number for the bonus cache this time having completely forgotten about it the last time we found one of these so a revisit required there. Thank you bumandworker.

Dad Back ( [Blue]taybee [/Blue] )in the mainland again and caching all in good order sign log book As[Blue] tatybee nz [/Blue] or [Blue] tbnz[/Blue] . TFTC See Taybee log

Having finished the work I needed to do in Blenheim a little earlier than expected, I had the chance to grab some caches on the way back to Nelson.

I had not set out to work on this series of caches today, so was pleased to have stumbled across another as I wended my way around Blenheim.

Bonus code noted for future reference.

#804

Quick find while going past. found with mum thanks to the seagnoid from the last coffee we had and the additional hint.

TFTC

This is my second attempt at this cache and I don't know why I didn't find it last time as I'm sure I looked here. This time the cache was exposed to the naked eye with no camouflage at all, so when I returned it, I made sure it wasn't so obvious.

As for the Bonus Cache, I had already got the other five and had worked out the location of the final without this one. You have to be careful at the final because there is an alligator guarding the cache .

TFTC B&W and TFT Series, it was fun.

Found with Kiwimykl, (my first attempt though).

Refer to his log for details.

TFTC B&W

[green] I must have visited this cache 4 or five times, not finding it. probably only logged it twice though. Some time ago I went back for a scout after getting a hint from a fellow cacher and a quick feel around and found it immediately. That was easy! Why could I not find it before? So today is day 11 of a 10 day caching streak needed for my Masters of Geocaching Science. And filling in a few dot days, thus the overflow. And back here to formally find the cache and sign the log. Ridiculously easy this time - the cache was out in the open because someone had gone though with a weed eater and cleaned out the long grass. Cache is undamaged though. Noted the code and restored it to its hide. One more of the set to go, and a revisit to another one to get its code and I am sorted for the final. Yay! Getting there after over a year on this series!

finally found today.
i think it was the third or fourth time here.
i expected something else...
thanks for the cache

#1191

I parked but didn't grab. Looked at all the obvious places near my GPS GZ. Guess that leaves all the unobvious places but decided to move on to easier pickings.

Slowly ticking off the required 6 caches to get the coordinates for the bonus cache. Found after a bit of scratching around. TFTC B&W

Had a look for this with no luck a while ago - but tried not to let the piles of DNF's put me off.
Was in the area with a FTF at the school - so popped here for another look.
QEF this time - no idea what I was looking for last time.
TFTC

Sorry to log a DNF call in to day to do this cache but no luck for us today look hight and low and round and round we look but no luck today cache may have gone I run out of time on this one

today we will be back sametime log by gsak

checked, still there

[green] My third or maybe forth time here. Still nothing. At least the nappies have been moved further away.

Had a look around. Couldn't see, although area quite messy with rubbish.

Took me a bit of searching (don't know why, it was pretty straight forward!). Cftc

Didn't seem to matter where we looked, we could not locate this. Searched high. Searched low. Searched in and around and everywhere. What are we missing?

Didn't seem to matter where we searched, we could not find this. Will have to try again another day.

I can check it next time passing, but It was fine last time checked.

Cache check....no idea where DNF'r was looking....in the hall toilet?
All good today anyway.

There was what sounded like a church service going on here when I turned up, so I didn't look too long. I came back later and was more thorough and still didn't find it. Good camo! On the other hand, I didn't look under any of the numerous nappies lying around here. Eeew!

Bit of scrambling but found where it should be, all safe, tftc

Quick easy find. GPS was a little off. But after some wider scouring we found it. TFTC.

Found after local event

Quick and easy find on a sunny day. TFTC

Quick find TFTC!
