Muggles Birthday (Southland) Invercargill, South Island, New Zealand
By southlandicebergs on 23-Aug-13. Waypoint GC4KKW8

Too long the GZ has been too filled with rubbish branches which has encouraged other stuff to be dumped there and weeds with thorns to grow.

Too much blackberry and rubbish for me to get close today

Well i made that alot harder than i had to found all safe and secure ready for the next finder TFTC

Cache 454 A quick grab on the way past this morning, looking at the terrain I was expecting some tree climbing or something, so I prepared myself and climbed over mountains of busted branches and mound of rubbish (really sad to see ) only to turn around and see the cache no need for the obstacle hurdling at all lol DOH Cache is a little damp but not wet, T4TC

Walked past this one and had to return and get this one tagged. Cheers.

Sunday 25 October. Checking out Invercargill today.

Toby, Zara and I are on a 3 week geo adventure of Cromwell, Southland, Catlins, Balclutha with a day in Dunedin and quick stop in Timaru. With Lenny, my trusty navigator and TBD my companion/mascot. we managed to visit lots of green boxes, now happy faces with the odd sad one. Did some LABs , earth caches, virtuals and wherigos, all chucked into the mix to rack up 500 odd caches. Lots of kilometers, lots of exploring and lots of fun. Thanks to all COs for our wonderful experience.

Few branches to climb over.
Could not sign thou as pen died.

Easy find, the hint helped

Looking for a gap in the rain and not having to travel too far, went to get this local one bit of a reach for this shorty! Needed some stealth catching a break between muggles got the wee bugger tftc

Container with o ring. Sorry for all the rubbish in this area. So much was thinking of either shifting or archiving.

undergoing drying out.

Easy find but quite exposed the way I did it. Log damp.

Very quick find. Not sure about the terr 3.5 . The branches must have been cleared as I could reach it from the wooden fence.
TFTC

Tftc Creative idea found an easier way to get it without climbing over the felled tree branches.

Tftf found a much easier way of getting it

A great first time find.

Parks and reserves do not seem to be in a hurry to remove the branches they chopped so I have increased terrain and added tree climbing attribute.

tree trimming in progress making a legal approach impossible with all those gum tree branches blocking walking.

Some trees have been cut down so a little difficult to reach atm but I could see it from just off the path

Thanks. Good cache to find.

After twenty minutes of searching, finally found, was looking at the bridge

Delusional fitbits 2018

Fantastic find

New log and o ring

The log book is unfortunately very wet! It’s such a shame! Good find though.

Cute container! Thanks

Thanks for the hiss and nice hint so ok to find.

A fun first find on this beautiful Saturday morning. Had to do a balancing act with geokid12 on my shoulders to reach the cache...we are shorties tftc

Our very first Geo-cache! Good eyes Blake! Wahoo! TFTC

Great hide. Was lucky and came in at the right angle- soon spotted. TFTC

Tftc

quick find on a damp evening. Cache is nice and dry.

#4565. I have been down south on a work trip but not getting much opportunity to go geocaching. Decided to take a day of leave and rent a car so I could explore some of the caches hidden on the outskirts of Invercargill. Nice warm sunny day as well which makes for a pleasant caching experience. Parked near the church and walked back over the bridge. Had to move on two bike riding Mormons who saw me as easy prey for conversion but I had better things to do with my time. Never get between a man and his geocache! Approached the cache from the park and soon spied the hiding spot. Quick grab and sign. Replaced where found. Thanks for the cache southlandicebergs.

good to go

Drying out. Looking at a better container.

A quick find tonight. The log is very damp but just managed to write my log in it. TFTC

All dry. Back in place.

drying out log cache removed

great find had to think about this one

Found with DownSouthInv on his second look. I came along as a second pair of eyes, but initially my GPS had me heading where there was no 'up'. Backtracked and took the small elephant track, hmm pretty new looking here, what else is around? It was the first pair of eyes who "clicked" and eventually had the cache in his hands.
Log is a little damp, but still usable. Soon had vege back in it's raincoat and tucked away.
Thanks for the smilie

Happy birthday

I'm on a south island tour on my recumbent bike and staying at the top10 park, going to Invercargill today. That was almost a sit-in on my bike. TFTC.

No one suspected at thing

Found on way to Manapouri for the night

Nice greets from Dresden in Germany . TFTC

Last one on the long walk along the riverbank. Tried to make my way down quietly through the undergrowth but pop-crackle goes the leaves and bark. I hope everyone in the workshop was out to lunch lol. Found the cache at just my right height and SL. tftc

There were less muggles around than I first expected. Quick found when on the right side of the fence. Tftc.

Found on a cycle ride around Invercargill. TFTC

Dad found this one since I'm a bit short, TFTC

Quick easy find tftc

Found it, but didn't have a pen. I will come back to sign.

An hour or so to while away on a now unusual visit to Invercargill. TFTC

First timers

Quick park n grab tftc!

Quick find tftc

Went on a big adventure with Wafflekitties and geo pups, had a blast thanks for the memories! TFTC.

Found while on a winter holiday with LCBuilder and our two geodogs. We spent 3 weeks travelling down the east coast and then up the west coast, setting our tent up at a different campsite each night. We didn't have any real plan, just went where the caches took us we saw a lot of awesome sights and will definitely have to come back one day as 3 weeks isn't really that long!
Just came from the catlins which was awesome. Enjoyed Invercargilll as well so stayed two nights! TFTC!

Ha! Found it - pays to read the clues sometimes!!

Stuck

Found it. Tftc

Quick find after using the hint.
TFTC

Disappointed not to find as we looked for ages - didn't have the clues with me and think they might have helped. We'll just have to go back and look again.
Pity about the huge amount of rubbish there

TFTC Nearly missed it.

I was very glad when I reread the instructions that gave the hint about the height, as I had been fishing around the ground for a few minutes walking through numerous spiderwebs. Once I looked up it didn't take long for it to be in my hand. TFTC

Was pushed in a bit, high up.

On my way to Queenstown and passing by so I had to find this one, my last cache in Invercargill. Cache found after a short search. Greetings from England

TFTC

Found myself in Invercargill with an evening and most of a day to kill so a bit of caching was on the agenda. Can recall being in this vicinity for a cache in the past. TFTC.

On an evening walk at Invercargill we searched for this cache. We had no problems to find it. Thank you for the cache!

Cache quickly in hand. TFTC Watching the kites flying across the river

TFTC 200th cache cheers!!

bit tricky this one, but found it, tftc

Tftc - found it safe and dry on an awesome invercargill day

1710 hours. Found it easily enough with spiker. Tftc.

Found on our 25 day New Zealand South Island holiday.

Apologies for the late log but with little or no internet as we travelled and only super slow WiFi in van parks I decided to log all finds on my return home.

found while out on an afternoon adventure

TFTC

Found on 22/4/15. Tftc

Found it with tim Jeremy zeke

Someone is playing with my cache. A friend on way home from school spotted the original container attached to the original spot and signed the log ( he had some inside knowledge of previous location). Told him it did not count as it was not the current container in the new location. I am tough!! Called past and removed the old container.

Smart paint job and nice new log, surely I'm not FTF? Thanks, last one for today's bike ride.

You certainly have to pick your time when looking for this. Found with Aoraki Sheep.
