I signed the log today and will follow up with a found log once I meet the requirements or confirm that I have already done so. Thanks for this challenge as this and other challenge caches always add to my to do list which adds another interesting aspect of geocaching. Were also carrying out maintenance along the way on behalf of the CO replacing many damaged containers and logs which the CO was happy to supply and for which we are very grateful.

Velk cesta do Ocenie - den 61 - Otira, West Coast - Christchurch, Cantenbury, South Island, Nov Zland (asi 200 km) Kupodivu jsem se v tom bizarnm hotelu docela dobe vyspala, i kdy Kiwi Rail (mstn eleznin dopravce) jezdil i v noci a v kaonu se to hodn rozlhalo. Vzbudila jsem se do chladnho horskho rna, ale dn mraky a u i vykukovalo slunce. A taky bylo cel den ndhern do 21C. Uvala jsem si cestu s vhledy po Grand Alpine Hwy cel den. Odlovila jsem spoustu keek na zajmavch mstech nebo jen u cesty a la i na pr krtkch vychzek teba ke skalnm tvarm. Projela jsem pes Arthur Pass a v mstn obci m na dlouho zdreli asn zbavn papouci Kea, kterm tu kaj hort klauni. A lumpaili teda dost. U mstn kavrny haj na lidi a jakmile si nco polo na stolek, jdou po tom. Nejdv rozflkali hrnek od kafe a pak se snaili sebrat i mj slan kol, ale zavas jsem reagovala a o obd nepila. V pozdnm odpoledni jsem u sjela z hor a docela byla rda za kus rovn silnice. Pece jen tden stle zatet trochu unav. Ped Christchurch jsem si jet nala srii challeng a tm dnen spn a krsn den zakonila a jela se ubytovat do blzkosti letit, odkud rno letm na severn ostrov do Wellingtonu. Dojedla jsem njak zbytky, dopila lhev kanadsk whiskey a balm kufry. Jin ostrov je krsn a 2 tdny na jeho prohldku nesta. Cel sever jsem nevidla a i v ostatnch stech ostrova mi zbyla msta, kam bych se jet chtla podvat.I slept today in a nearby bizarre hotel Otira Stagecoach Hotel and in the morning I set off for a mountain ride on the Grand Alpine Hwy. It was beautiful sunny weather and I really enjoyed the trip with views, caches and a few walks. I was also very amused by the Kea parrots, which take care of the entertainment of tourists in Arthurs Pass at the caf. I found a total of 40 caches and in the evening I arrived in Christchurch, from where I am leaving tomorrow for the North Island. Thanks to everyone for the caches and greetings from the Czech Republic.[csara](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=csara) pouil [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC5HD8E/14743 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") pro oven, zda splnil podmnky tto challenge kee s vsledkem: splnno.2020-02-29 Find Signal the Frog - Locationless in 2020 (GC8FR0G) - Locationless (Reverse) Cache2020-02-19 El Castillo (GCG9MY) - Virtual Cache2020-02-10 Belize - Meet and greet (GC8JM0Y) - Event Cache2019-02-14 Robertuv Cukrovar (GC22M9N) - Unknown Cache2023-02-24 U Libuse (GC3JQZ4) - Earthcache2015-02-15 Aqualung jde do duchodu (GC3TEJP) - Traditional Cache2023-02-11 Rybnik (GC5MGBE) - Multi-cache2022-02-03 Yellow hell (GC7T30G) - Multi-cache
We are visiting from Washington state in the US near geocaching HQ. We initially landed in Wellington on January 15. We found GC46 there, then took the ferry to Picton. We event a nice day at Lochmara Lodge. The next day we headed to Nelson via Havelock where we stopped and had green shelled mussels for lunch.We had a grand time in Nelson where we hosted an event. Then out to Patons Rock on Golden Bay. One day we took a hike to Wainui Falls. Glorious. I highly recommend the hike. Not to tough.We drove from Patons Rock via Greymouth to Christchurch. It rained hard from Greymouth to Arthurs Pass.Yesterday, we hosted an event here in Christchurch. This morning I got up early and came out to this piece of highway to find these challenge caches. I found 11 out of 12. Pretty good. Now to check if I qualify.Thanks for the challenges.

Fangsoki and I arrived overnight from Brisbane for a 3 week journey around New Zealand’s South Island. This is my first time in the country, and we have been picking and choosing the caches for the list for months. Actually, truth be told, we started planning this a couple of years ago, however covid put a squash on the plans back then, causing us to also miss out on the Auckland mega.
Thankfully nothing stopped us this time, and today marks the start of our adventures.
Fangsoki has a penchant for challenge caches, so these were first on the list after grabbing the webcam.
Luckily for me, Fangsoki has similar challenges to these back in Brisbane, which I have completed, so the qualifying caches were easy to sort.

#2501. After doing the hard yards to qualify for all these monthly caches, finally I made the trip to Christchurch to pick them up.
Cloudy day, but good caching conditions: not too much traffic, and relatively good parking not too far from each GZ. At many of the caches, I did some CITO - bottles, cans and general rubbish.
This was the second of the eleven I picked up today.
Tftc & the challenge, gracie7 + mum. See my Note dated 2/3/21.

Very glad to be able to log this cache. A change of plans meant I signed this cash on 3rd of February. In anticipation of finding the two caches I needed to qualify on the next day, which I did.

I've flown down to the Garden City with Itchyfeet2020 and NZ_B for the weekend, and what a weekend it has been! Cumulatively we had targeted so many personal challenges, individual caches we wanted to get, 'things' we wanted to do etc, that teaming up with these two caching troopers has been one of the best things I've done in ages. We've achieved so much in our short time here that my mind (and body) is still reeling. I'm sure the enormity will still be sinking in for many days to come.
All our signing of logbooks this weekend has been as T.I.N.T (for Team Itchyfeet2020, NZ_B, and TwigNZ) regardless of how many of the 3 of us are claiming any particular cache (as some of us may have found it previously).
Today was our big day, the main point of the whole trip down - trying to get 200+ caches in 1 day.
This turned out to be a huge success for us, achieved by targeting 3 geoart series (Eclipse, Metal Mania, and Smurfs) to give us as little driving as possible, and any other caches we would be literally driving right past at the time.
We started with the Eclipse series as that was closest to our accommodation in Darfield, then dropped down to the Metal Mania caches, finally moving back westwards so that we would be close to home when exhausted by the end of our day. The driving was shared, but was mostly provided by NZ_B, with an excellent job of route planning courtesy of Itchyfeet2020. A truly joint effort for which I'm very grateful.
Our main numbers for the day are;
Time we started: 05:30 (in the dark)
Time we finished: 21:30 (in the dark)
Hours caching: 16
Total caches found today: 236
Total caches DNFd today: 8
I apologise for the generic 'cut n paste' nature of my logs. If anything individually stands out in my memory about our experience at GZ then I will try to mention it. Certainly the puzzles themselves were a mix of easy and truly frustrating, but between us we got them all solved in the end.
Thank you for setting up this challenge series, and helping us achieve our goal

NZ_B, TwigNZ and I have come to Christchurch to complete a number of shared and individual challenges. Today is the BIG day - a goal of over 200. The route has been planned and caches listed in order with hint, side of road and next driving instruction. Start time is 5.30am and we finished at 9.30pm with 230 for me.
We saw sunrise and sunset and had some great laughs as well. As part of our day we included these spelling challenges, only some of which I qualify for thus far, and this is one of them. TFTC - caches in great condition.

The idea of doing 200+ caches in one day had been one that I had considered for a long time, but not something I had made any moves on doing anything about until the idea was raised by others in a geocaching group I am a part of. As we were all based in Wellington, the logical place to try this was Christchurch with it's lovely flat lands, long straight roads, and wonderful art work series. Unfortunately the weekend that worked for most of the group was not one that worked out for me, so instead I came down here a few weeks earlier than they planned to and did the the trip by myself.
I started finding Geocaches at exactly midnight on Sunday. I kept finding Geocaches for the next nineteen and a half hours, when at about 7:30pm I decided that the tiredness was getting to a point where this was no longer a sensible idea. I found:
31 Traditional
180 Unknown
1 Multi
For a total of 212 Geocaches in 19.5 hours. That's a rate of 10.9 per hour. I am pretty happy with that. I focused on the Smurf series, the Metal Mania series (a set of puzzles that I very much enjoyed), and the Glossary of Geocaching series, with a few other sets and individuals in between. It was a fantastic day, very much helped by the wonderful weather and the use of a car that had no problem on gravel roads ('cos it was a rental).
A huge thanks to all the CO's that place and maintain these Geocaches. Despite the rushed day I created for myself, I did enjoy each and every cache I found. It is only with CO's like this placing them out in the world that this wonderful game continues.

Team G0LD: Geocachers 0B80B8, Lis's crew and DaffyNZ are down from Whangarei for a few days. We've all solved the 4 big geoarts so they are the main target for the trip.
Of course there were many other puzzles solved as well. We certainly made a great dent in my solved puzzle list but I'll still have enough for another trip.
This was our big day where we planned to get as many as possible. Sadly we fell just short of our diamond badge as we lost track of our exact find numbers. I still haven't worked the statistics for my finds this trip.
The weather was fine but long wet grass from overnight rain made a wet start to the day. I eally enjoyed my day and want to thank all the CO's who contributed by placing caches out this way.
Another neat logbook and a quick find. My parents, my inlaws and my brother were all married in Feb. I placed a note in Jan 2021 with my qualifying finds. Thanks for the challenge cache
Of course there were many other puzzles solved as well. We certainly made a great dent in my solved puzzle list but I'll still have enough for another trip.

Team G0LD ( 0B80B8, Lis's crew & DaffyNZ ) on a caching mission to Christchurch. We had travelled down from Whangarei on Wednesday avo. Solved puzzles were going to be the main focus of our trip. We had spent a lot of 2020 and 2021 solving over 400 puzzles, so we had a lot on our list.
Today looked like being the best weather for our trip, despite a heavy thunderstorm overnight. We had a Big Day Out planned, with a perhaps optimistic target of finding 300 caches in one day. Working together well as a team, with a driver, a navigator and a jumper, we made good progress, but in the end, the bigger distances between caches, that we hadn't anticipated, meant we ended the day a bit short.
A fun day though certainly, and sincere thanks to the GeoArt & Trail CO's, and others, for placing and then maintaining such large numbers of caches so well. A testament to your dedication to Geocaching was the very low number of DNF's during the day. Apologies for the mostly generic logs, but be assured your efforts were truly appreciated.
Qualifying caches are in my Mar '20 note. Lis made the find here, quickly as per the hint.

Hi there gracie7 + Mum. We found some time for a visitto the quarry park here today after quite a late start. We're now in our 3rd week of 5 in this visit and absolutely loving the quality of NZ caches. We found this cache at around 12:28:00 PM - TN, LN, SL. Thanks to gracie7 + Mum for this cache - our find 9752 and the 2nd of 19 finds for the day.
FieldNotes: The cache and log were both found in good condition.

[trifolia argentea](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=trifolia%20argentea) went on a mission today to collect 40 caches in the Eclipse series, and at least 50 overall in one afternoon. This was one of the others and our find #49 for the day.
When we last drove along this road on 31 January on our first foray into the Eclipses we did not yet qualify, as we still needed a "U". But we subsequently got that and so when we now used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC5HD8E/14743 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") we knew we would qualify. The details are below.

Mum had Lion meetings all day Saturday in Hanmer Springs then we spent Sunday around Rangiora doing maintenance checks and abit of caching. Because today is Westland Anniversary day we headed home via ChCh to do some lab adventures first and then some maintenance on the way out of town. We planned on stopping at all of our Spelling Challenges. Everything was all good here the book just needed a new bag. Happy Caching Coincidentally today was also the 6th anniversary of placing this cache!

I’m in Christchurch for another visit for 4 days. This is my 3rd day. On my own this time, hoping to pick up many puzzles today. I have hired a nice little car, very economical and quite sporty too. It was very clean when I picked it up yesterday but with all the back roads it will get very dirty! Thank you for the challenge cache.

With ABCDF4, eyespyben, and Gap (of Fap and Gap). Logging all finds as Team HRP (Huntly, Rotorua, Papamoa - Our hometowns)... During Covid-19 lockdown, we solved a truck load of puzzles around Christchurch - Canterbury region. No use thrashing the old grey matter for no cause - We decided we should make good on this handiwork...
There are lots of interesting trails and geoart surrounding Christchurch. What you aren’t told is how far flung some of these caches actually are. Some before-hand advice would have been great, so here are some of my notes... You’re welcome!
1. Mobile coverage is patchy, especially in those quiet, rural areas where it was most needed. Saving caches to offline might show that you are prepared and organised...
2. There are many dusty metal roads on the trails. The car will get messy, and your hair will feel like cardboard at the end of the day...
3. Suitable clothing and footwear are essential. You will climb in and out of hedges, gorse, and other rough stuff. You might get scratched, cut to shreds, and bleed a lot. It’s not advised to wear your brand new jacket on the day...
4. Take lots of food and drink. You’ll probably be head down, tail up and not realise you haven’t eaten until late afternoon. There are very few shops or gas stations out there...
5. Make sure that you secure keys and wallet and know where these are placed for easy retrieval. A full box of pens might be useful too, especially if you’re inclined to free some into the wild...
6. Know the difference between left and right, and north, south, east, and west. Turning right and heading north will not get you to South Christchurch quickly.
7. Look with girl’s eyes rather than boys eyes... Some caches haven’t been found in a while and you might have to get down on your knees to pray.
8. Always be prepared for misleading hints. This is what turns simple caches into D5/T5 hides... “Head height” could mean the cache is positioned at your toes.
9. Have a sense of humour and like the people you go caching with. It’s going to be a very long day, and you might want to hurt someone during the journey...
10. Make sure you can operate your phone/device and it doesn’t crash when you most need it...
11. Learn to cut and paste logs because you’re going to repeat this function so often when logging all of your finds.
12. Above all else, have fun and be kind...
Road works in the area. The workers are onto us... See qualifying note: 12/04/20... A huge thank you to all the cache owners and their helpers for placing and maintaining these hides. Thanks gracie7 + Mum. TFTP and TFTC.
Down in Christchurch with the Squirrel, ABCDF4 and eyespyben. During Covid lockdown, we solved a load of puzzles and decided that this would be a good time to visit. We've enjoyed a few days of good weather and seeing the Canterbury countryside. The caches have been in varying states - some good, some not so much. Our time here has been a blast, and we'd like to thank all COs who have made this adventure possible. Thank you and TFTC.
On an overnight work trip down to Ashburton and following a fog-delayed flight form Nelson via Welly I was now on the ground and ready to find some caches en route to Ash Vegus...
I was keen to get out this way for a nice few challenge caches that I found I qualified for.
Thanks gracie7 + Mum

Finding the boxes was not the big problem, checking if I fullfill the challenge was a little bit more work. First I thought it will be really hard, because there is no challenge checker, but project-gc could solve the problem... And I am able to log all of them
I was afraid that january would be impossible. In Germany that means wintertime and Y is maybe our less used letter, but I got it. TFTC

We found cache in October last year, but we were were after a Y cache that was not a trad...
Although we found a Y trad over the past weekend, we also found an E mystery, a U multi and an A wherigo... so another month is complete.

In Christchurch for the long weekend with some of the crew from Otago and Southland. Today was spent targeting the eclipse series with Gadget169, Natalie247, CJ-Curry and Hevic. Now qualify for this since my last visit in January so found along the way TFTC
With no Mega in sight for the weekend, a bunch of Otago and Southland cachers invaded Christchurch this weekend. Today I cached with Hevic, Gadget169, K.J.R, and natalie247 to blitz our way through a bunch of caches in and around western Christchurch. Apologies for the C&P logs but I'll never catch up otherwise!

These month challenges back home are in a place called the Tinchi Tamba wetlands. In Tinchi Tamba there is a regular huge mob of kangaroos that you have to walk through to get to each cache. Some of the kangabunnies you have to walk by are quite large and can appear intimidating.
There is no doubt that kangaroos are amongst the most stupid animals on the planet. When one jumps the whole mob takes off. You just have to be prepared for them being scared of you and taking off by jumping straight in your direction. A 100 kangaroos jumping towards you at speed is a great way to clear up a bout of constipation. tftc

Found at 12:02 pm while on a week's break in Christchurch. Will expand log when we get back home (as well as answers to questions, qualifying caches, photos, etc.).
I was a bit concerned about how busy this road is, but there's plenty of room to pull over. I looked at a couple of hint objects before I found the targeted one. All good here. TFTC
