Took a moment to find due to the fairly patchy gps coverage. Cache is definitely where the hint states ready for the next cacher. Thanks.

DNF despite extensive searching. Lovely bush!

Thank you, cool cache

Lovely find. Definitely +/- 10m in the forest. Thanks. Someone has taken the pencil, please bring a small one to put in.

Hey, TwoSharpe, should this not be called Riroriro? Came along here from Kaituna Valley on a Sandfly tucker mission and this was sort of close. Quickly found the cache. I think I might have looked one other time but maybe not in the right place. No issues today. Thanks for the hide!#9775

Found on a gentle stroll down Kirks track. First find of the day, all is good with the cache; TFTC

Quick find on the way to Anne falls.

Slightly smaller Boulder ealier may trick you.

Quick find in the obvious spot. A few previous logs helped a bit.

Great spot, currently filled with dinosaurs

TFTC!

Grey and dull Sunday afternoon. Nice walk in the hills. TFTC

I thought I might as well make the most of my day off so went up the port hills for a walk. Thanks

Found on a nice walk. I need the exercise

With a new cache ([Wai not?](https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC9DG60_wai-not)) nearby, we decided that it was time to collect the final few caches at Omahu Bush that we had not yet found. It's a walk we often used to do before taking up geocaching. The cache was quickly found in the obvious spot. TFTH!

Muddy trip to it but found!

great spot

Quick find in a lovely area - tftc

Quick find, lovely walk

Easy find, with gloves.

I was in the area performing a little maintenance on an adopted cache today. That job done I saw a few other caches "close" by.

This one was a nice quick find in the obvious spot on my way down the hill. This one was *before* I found the bush lawyer (or it found me).

Find number 4086

Iris was in Wellington and I had wanted to do some Summit Road and Diamond Harbour. geocaches for some time. Set off at 9am. Found 14. DNF 2. Drove 90km and walked about 4km. This was cache number six. I took some time before spotting the likely hint object. No gps coverage in the bush today! Thanks for the cache and the exercise. Rodney

Neat walk down to GZ, cache all good, TFTC

Love the walk in this bush.

Container , logbook ... Going next...

We were in the area after finding the NZMS cache so to stretch the legs of the kids a bit more we came along this track. The kids had fun climbing trees and finding holes in logs, they quite enjoyed it. Cheers

Thanks

Found this one while in NZ for a week with my daughter.

Out to complete the caches I didn't manage to knock off. A nice quick find today in a damp track environment, no rain but the fog came and went. Uplifted the TB also managed to get a cage nearby that hadn't been found for a few years.
Thank you for bringing me to this area TwoSharpe and for placing and maintaining Riorio (Canterbury) geocache from Mr Cuddly Brick
Found on this awesome day the 8 May 2019.

All good, nice and dry. So so many kereru!

We came out here on Christmas day to do this walk but it was raining so we postponed it and today was the day to come back out. Our first time here - what a lovely bush and great maintained track. We did the loop walk down Kirks track and back up Prendergasts track and found all four geocaches along the way. The cache is in good condition and well stocked with trade items. Junior cacher made a swap and I left a trackable. TFTC!

After a walk along the Summit Road to find Ahuriri View, we just had time to do the short loop track here.
The cache was a quick find and then we completed the loop to get back to the carpark. TFTC.

First visit in this nice bush. Good track and great views. TFTC.

Nearly back after a great walk. Really enjoyed this hidden gem and glad that we found all caches here. Thanks for bringing us here and the great caches.

Out on a Sunday Mission with Shannonp1 specifically to find some long solved puzzles including some D/T's. This was a quick easy find. Thanks for the effort that goes into placing and maintaining the cache. Got the first one on this track then decided another day for the rest...

Got a day pass so went out and about with Surevybase for another crack at some caches out around the bays. Had a few laughs and more than a few scrambles and generally a good time. Thanks to all the CO's for their time in placing these caches. Sorry about the cut and paste. TFTC.

Out on a Sunday drive to put me into space

Heading back to the car now and this was a nice quick find no tb In This one

Today cachelet #3 and I had a plan to hit a few Summit Road caches. We parked up by the South entrance to this reserve and headed down the Kirks Track. I haven't done this track before. The track said the loop would be 90mins. Cachelet #3 and I did it in just under 2 hours but we found all the caches left in the reserve for our efforts. Great wee walk and cachelet #3 was keen to bring the sisters back to this one. I agreed.
Happy for a quick find here.

Thanks for the cache TwoSharpe.

TFTC. A lovely slightly cooler summers day - just right for a little adventure in the bush and then focus on picking up some of my solved puzzles.
Dropped off TB.
Thanks for placing the cache.

Wandering around the hills today and grabbing a few caches as I go.

I think I have found others in this reserve in the past.

Cheers and thanks,
S.t.

Great to see all the predator traps in this bush! The birds are thriving and the bush is beautiful. Great place for a walk with the family and to do some geocaching, tftc!

Beautiful day to be out, even though chilly in the shade and windy, but still! I dragged a friend along to the GIFF, and then we were keen to be out and about. I picked a route with not too many caches to avoid boring my friend to death Quick find here, TFTC!!

During my Geocaching trip at the Summit Road I had of course a stop at this box.
The last of the three. Quick find
TFTC

StreetWalker and I took advantage of the fine but coolish weather to head for the hills to find a few caches but took the scenic route via a few previous DNFs to see if we could change them into smiles.
Mission accomplished with the DNFs, now it's walk time. My Oregon soon lost satellite reception in the dense bush so just had to follow SW. He found the cache too. The tree fuchsias here are pretty impressive. TFTC.

#14515. It didn't take long to get down to GZ. The hiding place was soon found, bit it was a bit of a battle to get past some woodwork to get at the cache. TFTC.

Found on a dog walk.
Both "warbler" and "riorio" are awesome names for a bird.
It was getting dark rapidly but we still managed to find this one despite the GPS acting dodgy in times.

See previous log for TheBuddyolpals. We just realised we have 2similar accounts so are merging them.

Lovely area. Birdsong incredible. Tftc

Yes, got it!!! I'm so much better on the uphill;-) now to see if I can get thro to the Kiwi. Last time this was found was 12 Feb, just before the fire went awol! TFTC:-)

Our second cache fir tge day after our picnic. A lovely walk down from the road. Cache lovely & dry with lots of fun trinkets in it. TFTC

Found a few caches while on a walk with geobf and geodog! TFTC

have never walked these trails before. Bit wet and slippery underneath due to recent ran but great fun.

During geotrip found it. Thank you

?

Nice easy find on a great day out. TFTH

A little tricky but got. it

TFTC

SO glad for the shade to find this cache. Found with Wurzel1947 on a very hot day. TFTC

Quick find.

Such a beautiful day, perfect for a walk with my geocaching buddy BBear44. She drove us to the start of the track and the fun began. Neither of us have waked in this area before. It's beautiful. We weren't quite sure which way to go at first as the track mentioned wasn't on the sign post. Eventually we came across the right track and the geocache too. I dropped a trackable and a micro coin off. Love the series.

Great day to go and cache, and my first cache with my buddy Nosynel for the year. Nice track, haven't been on this one before or any of the surrounding ones. Thanks for bringing me somewhere new. Love the series and the sounds of birds.

A quick find today and when I was up here a few days ago I didn't even notice this cache on my phone and didn't even attempt to look for it.

I was out with BaldEd picking some caches that he hadn't signed off and needless to say that I hadn't signed off. A nice little walk through a nice bush.

Cheers for the cache.

Out caching the Summit Road with Tufty. This was our first stop as we made our way down toward Tomtit. It looks like we will be in for a bit of a workout later as we make our way back to the road. Nice hint ensured a quick find. Thanks TwoSharpe.

TFTC, nice quick find.

A nice little walking track that I didn't know about! I must of just missed BroadbentJ25.

TFTC!

Hmmm not quite where I expected to be. A nice walkway with heaps of large specimens of plants that were bigger than I have seen before; cabbage tree lancewood, broad leaf to name a few. Fav for that. Quick find too.BAck to the car just as the rain started. Then had to take a wheel off to clear a stone making a heap of a racket. Cheers.

Order of business today, gardening, caching shopping, home. All successful, man did that hail fall thickly.

Thanks to all the CO's for their hides.

Found just b4 the rain. GPS good / HINT good / CACHE in good order. Picked up the TB. Great bit of bush, lots of bird life. TFTC

Scenic detour on the way into work after a spot of shopping in town. Lovely track all to myself - getting humid in under the trees. Cheers.
