June Spelling Challenge (Canterbury) West Melton, South Island, New Zealand
By gracie7 + Mum on 30-Nov-14. Waypoint GC5HD8J

I found this physical cache and signed the log during our trip to New Zealand in February 2024. We had a wonderful trip touring Wellington and the South Island. According to ProjectGC I now qualify for this challenge. Thanks for enhancing our trip.

We discovered a few challenges in the Christchurch area. They were all easy to search for and find. The cans were all in good condition.Now we will check whether we have fulfilled the challenge.Many thanks and greetings from the Moorhelmi from Germany2023-06-02 Juffrouw Post en de boeken (GC9GBKT) - Letterbox Hybrid2020-06-15 Unser schnes Niedersachsen Bonus (GC7PY6C) - Wherigo Cache2015-06-27 Nachtcache Burg Marquartstein (GC38P73) - Multi-cache2018-06-03 Eine Galerie unter freiem Himmel (GC7B86C) - Virtual Cache

Doing a check on some challenge caches and I knew I would qualify for this one but it meant getting in and finding some events. The system on project gc puts up a question mark if it thinks you may be close, so it now means you have to check each challenge yourself if the tick is not green. I will do my checks just the same.I remember doing this type of challenge when I first started caching and each month it was a task to see what and where we would go to collect caches for certain requirements. These days it is the tricky, harder and higher numbered caches that slow me down.Thanks for the challenge.If you are seeing this please check out, GCARTY0, see what is planned for October 2025. There is an importance in placing will attends to events. Thanks for supporting geocaching in Australia.

Accio 06:32:32My first visit to South Island. Over the ditch for the Dunedin Mega, and arrived about midnight, and after a very short sleep am on my way south, but first a couple of caches. This series was replicated back home by Fangsoki, and is a long time fav series - so absolutely must get the originals. Quick stop and grab as intended. 2013-06-15 J.G.

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.

Touring around with a lovely group of Aussie geo friends for a few days in Christchurch, picking up some solved puzzles, and selected others on our to-do list. Enjoyed this one and the quick find once at GZ.Will action this once I return home to AUS.Thank you, gracie7 + Mum, for this good challenge.

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.

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/GC5HD8J "Project-GC Challenge Checker") pro oven, zda splnil podmnky tto challenge kee s vsledkem: splnno.2021-06-04 Jizerske mountains - geologic break (GC1PT5T) - Earthcache2019-06-25 Ulika Vclava Havla (GC8924X) - Virtual Cache2018-06-19 Nasha pervaya korobka (GC70HPE) - Multi-cache2021-06-21 Earthcache Challenge - esko (GC7V5NZ) - Unknown 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.

It's 6am. I have been up for an hour, the rest of the household is still asleep, so I am outta here! I thought I would grab a few challenges that I know that That Darn Bear doesn't qualify for, so that everything we do do together she can claim. If she ever wakes up that is. So I got here for a nice easy find. I had found the rest of this series way back in 2016. Everything except June. I then forgot this cache so never actually put in the effort to qualify. Picked up the remaining cache in 2019 without realising it. Nice to get it all done at last!I spent Christmas in Palmerston North, and New Year's will be at work, leaving this gap to visit That Darn Bear in Christchurch. Rainy yesterday, sunny and maybe 33 degrees today. Phew, it's hot! But that was later in the day. Out caching this morning it is already quite warm.[the Seagnoid](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=the%20Seagnoid) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC5HD8J/14747 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did. 2019-06-29 Janie Seddon (Motueka) (GC8920X) - Virtual Cache 2018-06-28 Uncovering the creatures (Marlborough) (GC7R0MJ) - Event Cache 2013-06-03 Newtown Wedge (Wellington) (GC1ZW88) - Multi-cache 2016-06-19 Energetic Mine (West coast) (GC58G4T) - Traditional Cache

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.
Below is my qualifying list:

Many thanks for the series -it was fun, and and challenging, as I planned which caches fitted the criteria for each month and when was I going to find them. It took me 10 years and 7 days to log caches for June .

Favourite given.

Day 2 of a long weekend in Christchurch, and after doing the hard yards to qualify for all these monthly caches, finally I made the trip to pick them up.

Cloudy day, but good caching conditions: not too much traffic, and relatively good parking not too far from each GZ.

This was the sixth of the eleven I picked up today. It's 12.04pm. I qualified for this cache in 2019, and 4 years later I am finally here.

Tftc gracie7+Mum, and the series.

In Feb 23 team TINT (Team Itchyfeet2020, NZ_B and TwigNZ) hit chch to get over 200 caches in
a day. We had a great day out that also included signing all of the spelling challenges - some of which I qualified for at the time and some such as this one I did not.
Its been a priority of mine to qualify as soon as I can hence why I can now log this one with my qualifying caches outlined below.
I had a plan A on qualifying for this one, but after lots of searching my only E puzzle available was a DNF - so had to do a bit of a quick switcheroo and drive 40 mins to get a E multi with a N puzzle already done luckily.
Thanks so much gracie7+mum - a great set of challenges that keep me planning my caching priorities every month I still have to go.

I have qualified for all but two months of the year, June being one of them. I signed the log whilst doing the rest of the series and will log here once I finish the requirements in June.

I signed the log on 03/02/2023 in anticipation of finding a cache in June beginning with an U or a N that isn’t a traditional.

When TwigNZ announced he was going to find 200 in a day I decided to help by being his driver. That turned out to be good as of the three series he targeted to find I had already found two of them. Soon Itchyfeet2020 decided to join us and then it was a massive of case of solving puzzles. Many thanks to IF2020 for all the route planning. Logs signed with our group name of TINT.

The caches I log are going towards the 50 in a day segment for the DGSc challenge in the West Coast. Kia ora rawa atu for the cache gracie7 + Mum.

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

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.

We have not yet the required logs to spell June. But we signed already the logbook.
Thank you for this calendar challenge

I started Geocaching in May this year and soon after discovered this awesome series of challenges!

I have really enjoyed the extra excitement of focusing on finding caches of different sorts and starting with each letter of the month.

Came out today with my caching bud Snugpup and our new GCing friend Angelic Kiwi, who told me about the challenge checker on Project GC which saved me a lot of time in typing up all these logs (I had previously recorded my challenge finds by hand in my puzzle notebook)
Today I qualify for June-November and already have some towards December.

I look forward to coming back next year to sign the others when I have completed January to May.

TFTC- all good at each stop along the road.
A very enjoyable series for sure

Found with LittleTan and snugpup but not qualified yet

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.

I really enjoyed my day and want to thank all the CO's who contributed by placing caches out this way.

This one I have just qualified for. I got an "E" AdLab in June 2022 so that I qualified for the entire series ready to collect on this trip. My J was very special to me as this I found a year and a day after my Dad died and Johnny Cash was his favourite musician. My U again was special as it is a wonderful old Donovan cache. Thanks again for the fun series

E Enough Money Honey .. ?? AdLab 20.06.22

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. Spotted from the cache mobile as we pulled up, so no problem with a quick find here.

I think all the rest of these spelling caches I qualified for before or on 2018. And in 2018 I came and found them.
I never pre-sign the logbook for challenges I am not qualified for, so I skipped this one. It was only last year when I finally qualified for this!

Mum stopped here on the way into ChCh today with a new logbook ready just incase this was missing but she found the cache where it should be with 2 logbooks inside. (obviously the 2nd was the replacement from back in Mar/2021) Thanks to whomever found it and merged them back together. She removed the additional logbook so its All good here. Happy Caching

Hi there gracie7 + Mum. While out on the road today we hunted this cache but after a search we came up empty handed . Thanks to gracie7 + Mum for this cache.

This one will get a favorite, because it is little cacher birthmonth and it features two caches we found in Québec when we started geocaching, we were far from looking at challenges back then, what a journey we had... Both container and logbook are in good condition, thanks for the idea, the creation and the maintenance.

We got a message that this one might be missing so when Mum had a Lion weekend in Lincoln we detoured abit on the way home to check on a couple of Spelling months. The cache was clearing missing so we have replaced it and downsized it abit so it hopefully will be hidden abit better. All good here again. Happy Caching

Logging a find with CO permission.

This was the hardest one for us to complete, and we finally qualified in June 2020. Unfortunately we couldn’t find the cache today after a good look around several hint objects.
Our qualifying list:

This is another one that I thought would be easy to get. Hopefully soon

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 and checking on all of our Spelling Challenges. We picked up the temporary (cache?) left by Gorby - atleast he mentioned it in his log and it alerted us that the cache may have been missing. We couldnt find our original either so replaced the cache and put it back. All good to go again. 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.

Another cache I replaced today. I managed to find a black rubber tube and inserted some of the R.I.T.R paper into it. Again, I hope this is OK with the C.O. I have a photo of my handiwork if they so desire to see it.

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...

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.

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

Just checked on Project GC to see if I qualify and I do. Hope to be down from Northland in May, coronavirus allowing, and will try to sign off this one then.

Caching over the long weekend, not quite qualified for this one

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!

Found with the crew and qualified with the following list:
