Sandy Point Rover Trail #5 (Southland) Otatara, South Island, New Zealand
By bladesedge on 27-Oct-12. Waypoint GC409NE

Had this one still programmed on GPS so spent time looking for this at a lot of tree bases. There are many fallen tress in area. Now I can delete it.

As this cache has been out of action for too long and the cache owner has not performed any maintenance, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Signed the piece of paper left it the container

no need to be unavaliable, still there.

A quick find in the first place I checked this afternoon on a bit of an explore around the reserve. Signed log, TFTC

Different story to the previous cache. Container was wet (we tried to dry it out as much as possible) and the logbook is only paper mash. Put in temporary logsheet, but not quite sure whether this will survive all the rain. TFT

Unless someone wants to replace the log for me, this is disabled until I can get out and fix this up

Found it with the_brudderz and stuart nel1 TFTC

the_brudderz and stuart nel1

found this with charles and titus

Found with stuart nel1 and tkiragu_94. TFTC!

Log book soaked. Needs replaced. Don't have any paper on me to replace sorry!

Had to check the clue as I hadnt read description properly. A bit wet still. But safe!

A lovely evening in the deep south so I chose this walk to grab a few caches...thanks for bringing me here. A nice quick find, but sadly the log is very wet. TFTC

Very very wet!! Book Needs replaced!

Thanks for the cach!

A bit on the damp side.

TFTC. Weekend expedition to Southland

Family day Geocaching.
TNLN. TFTC.

Log book soaking wet - couldn't even write in it.

TFTC

Very damp log book.

Whew!! we were on the point of giving up after the GPS had us all over the place, mum monsta had one last wee poke as we were leaving, and there it was - altho very damp...

This took some finding, but enjoy the challenge. TFTC

This cache was much harder to find, neither of our GPS's liked the coverage under the trees and we struggled with all the fallen leaves in all the possible holes! Eventually perseverance paid off and we found the cache. It was very damp inside - probably needs a dry out and a new logbook. TFTC

Not an easy cache to locate in the damp, leaf covered bush. With the GPS struggling to give a reliable fix, I too struggled. However after an intense search we eventually found our quarry.

Second attempt GPS had me 10m off. Log was water logged so unable to sign (photo proof to follow), Loved this series, thanks Bladesedge! Was a lovely day for a walk with the dogs :O)

Hello Mrs, Rediguana and I completed this series following our Stewart Island trip. TFTC.

Found with rediguana and moneydork. TFTC.

Another quick easy find along the Rover Trail. TFTC

Cache #6 on the Rover Trail. Needed the hint for this one as GPS was again struggling for stability under the trees. Then a quick find at GZ.

TFTC!
(from Wellington)

We loved this area of the track with all the pine trees. A great wee hide too. TFTC

More of a challenge with a variable GPS reading

Easy find on a lovely day for a walk.

Just as well there are no hills.

Enjoyed the walk to find this, while out on a geocaching trip in the area. TFTC bladesedge

A walk in and around Sandy Point today to find the caches that have been on my to do list for a while. A quick easy find. TFTC bladesedge

Hop, skip and a jump and we had the cache in hand, TFTC

Together with my family on a vacation trip to New Zealand. Starting at Auckland airport on transfer to Christchurch we went for a roundtrip exploring the south island. This was one of many caches we found while visiting so many nice and interesting places thanks to all the caches why I want to send a thank you to all CO for the work spent. TFTC.

Really enjoyed a fantastic walk around the area on a great afternoon. Nice to be (mostly) in the shade. Found them all without too many dramas.

Nice wee amble TFTC

Quick find although there are a few fallen trees in the area. T4TC

Hands warming up! Took TB. TFTC

Thought it would be a good day to get some more caches.

We frequently run along the rover track, but on this occasion we kayaked down from the rowing clubs and then got a few of the caches. Was a bit rough coming direct from the beach. TFTC

Another find on this awesome walkway. We really enjoyed this series of caches, especially on a nice day like today. TFTC bladesedge. [^]

FTF!!! YAY Found on jaunt round the Rover Trail. TFTC Bladesedge.

Had to stop caching at this point, as my dear 14 year old dog has disappeared! I thought that she had decided that she has had enough of caching. Luckily, I found her at the car park, where Pipedreamer and Jiminycricket were taking care of her. Will complete the series without her!

Found after a short search.TFTC

Found at 2:29 PM
Mrs Pipedream found it but wasn't to keen on puting her hand down the hole,but she did.
