Came back and looked again as dont remember doing it last time. Tftc clever hide
Amazing hiding spot!! We spent ages looking for it and finally found it thx to mum!!
TFTC - on a trip to Dunedin for childminding over school holidays. Had a spare hour or two for some previously unfound caches.
For my personal challenge of working towards getting my calendar on GC.COM to be at least the same shade of green or darker I need to sign off at least 12 caches today. I won't grumble if I find one or two more
. I Had parked my snail shell up at the Showgrounds in Mosgiel.
I had tried for this one a year or two ago but came up empty-handed. Not today though.
Cheers for the cache.

Quiet night for it. Signed and replaced, then parked down the road to read the history. TFTC
Up for a concert, thought be good time to find some caches in the area. TFTC.
A familiar container made for a quick find after the short walk from the car. TFTC
After an early start this morning and then a flight from Auckland we were really looking forward to a weekend of caching in our old stomping ground. Quick park & grab TFTC.
Very wet log, very difficult to write on but just managed it. Great container. Have seen a few like this now. Needing maintenance. TFTC!
Found with Frame Family. Log very sodden, managed to sign but needs maintenance. Tftc
As soon as I parked the car I could see relics associated with the theme of this series. Log a bit damp.
Out for a Sunday drive and this was the last find of the day just as the sun was going down. Made it across the ditch and cache soon in hand. Was unable to get log out so retreated back to the car but it was just a sodden ball stuck in the bottom. Put another log in. TFTC
After a bit of the day it was great to head out this evening, enjoy the lovely weather and get some caches. Working slowly towards my 2000 for news years (last years resolution - might make it).
Thanks for the cache which was in good condition.

Nice container. It was a much needed find after an interesting day at work. Thanks 
Great cache. These ones are so much more enjoyable to find than a sistema container. TFTC.
A bit of a hunt about by torch light with no luck. Had another go from another side and there it was. Doh, nice work. Cheers
After a couple of DNFs in the area, it was a welcome relief to lay the ol' paws on this one! Cheers U.N.C.L.E.!
Enjoying holidaying in the area with tmann421.
A nice quick find for us here today. Cool container. TFTC

Enabling cache with new container in place on the OPPOSITE side of the road from the original. Hint has been updated.
The run of DNFs suggested a check was in order. Sure enough, it's gone. Temporarily disabling while a replacement is arranged.
Nice day for a ride out to get this one that's part of series of railway caches. It was so hot out here today that the tar on the road had melted and got lots of stones stuck on my tyers and shoes and wearing black with my bike jacket on was not good as I had to run up the road to sign the log book. Anyway TFTC ☺
Headed down south with C&D and 11HPG11 for the CHCH Mega as part of the HOAC team, and decided that a Mega road trip/Mega Mission was the right thing to do. We landed in CHCH late Friday night and after picking up the rental car we bee-lined it straight to Dunedin to grab a few hours sleep before the mission truly started.
The goal for today was to locate a certain few geocaches which help for certain challenges that we are all currently working on, and to explore some pretty cool country, before getting to tomorrows starting point in Omarama. We thoroughly enjoyed this day of the mission and saw some pretty awesome places, and managed to achieve most of what we wanted. A big thanks to everyone for placing all the caches, and I apologize in advance for the copy and past logs!

What a Mega Mission for a group of Hamilton Over Achievers! A great trip, a long time in the planning. I teamed up with Cats&Dragons and HKCB to grab a couple of caches while in Christchurch and surrounding areas for the 2015 Mega Event. We flew out from Auckland on Friday night and traveled to Dunedin in the dark of the night. Stopped for a few hours sleep before setting off to grab caches in the Otago area on Saturday before attempting a few more on Sunday and then arriving at the Mega on the Monday. An amazing, yet crazy road trip that was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
No problems here, we spied it from the car as we pulled up. Thanks for the cache

This was the start of a MEGA caching weekend in the company of good caching friends. In the company of both HKCB & 11HPG11 this was going to be another memorable caching road trip for many reasons.
After driving down from Christchurch last night, sleeping in the car in Dunedin, and getting a good early start this is the practice day for the planned mission for tomorrow, thats not to say we are not taking the day seriously, but there were roads to travel, views to see (so unlike what we were used to in the Waikato) and of course caches to grab.
Having headed back to Mosgiel we were ready for a big day and so in that great cacheing tradition we were to follow backroads as often as possible so that we could continue our neferious activites without being disturbed by muggles.
thanks for the placement , thanks for the cache

Out and about on the Taieri today enjoying the sun and milder weather. Thanks U.N.C.L.E for this tring of caches.
Jumped the ditch for this one and found a real cute wee birdsnest at GZ. TFTC #6157
A quick easy find of our first cache in the Outram railway series – sorry, out of order. It was interesting to read the history of the railway in this area. TFTC
Very happy to have found the first in this series. Off to find the second now. Our goal to find all 6 as we live in Gladstone Road and have a close affinity with the railway main trunk line that runs parallel to our home. TFTC.
Had a nice morning cruising around all these ghost railway spots. Was surprised to see just how widespread the system was. Thanks for the eye-opener.
Neat set of caches found out interesting information about my home town. Took pathtag
A bit of three point turn practice as part of the 'transition from manual to automatic' driving practice today.
