Out on a day tour to Dunedin from Roxburgh, a quick detour to find this cache in passing

Been meaning to detour to grab this one for ages. Today was the day to get it done. Quickly found. Cache all good. Thanks for the cache, cat_e_bear#5397 ** Make your way to Dunedin for New Zealands next large multi-day event. GCA7ZHD Geo Toroa will be held on NZs Labour Day long weekend 26-27th October 2024 **

Turned the blue sad face into yellow smiley one today here finally. Took me a while but once spotted it seemed so obvious. No wildlife or creepy crawlies to contend with this time. But got muggled ...Busted just as I was leaving! A man pulled up alongside and asked if there was a problem with the drain near GZ - he lives at a nearby property and has seen people stopping and looking all around the area a few times and was concerned about why. Explained the game to him and showed him the cache to ease his concerns and curiosity - he was fairly amused. Lovely guy and we had an interesting chat about the history of the nearby properties and the artifacts of old-time homesteading and logging that he has unearthed while working his land. Tftc.

Nice easy one to find for our first one

Found it

It was quite easy to find

Yay harden then I thought

A bit tricky to find. Wrong side of fence. Putting back.

Woo hoo

Had the crap scared out of me by a rabbit bolting out noisily from the undergrowth at my feet on arrival at GZ, got poked in the eye and ear by dead cabbage tree leaves, nearly got stung in the hand by a semi-hibernating wasp, had a few dozen creepy slaters fall down on me and I reckon there is still a couple in my hair ... lol ... gave it a good go and after looking carefully over the same places again and again, decided to call it quits on this one before any other critters joined the party.

TGIF

It's very small but easy to find

A quick find. All good with the cache. Tftc

Hard in a hole

Pretty but smells quite a bit still strongly of burroca

This was my first cache without my little dear friend. I picked this cache because she had 'Four'paws. She was a very loyal family member and I will miss her very much. We had 12 wonderful years together and she travelled 9474 kms on her log my dog tag although she only had the tag for the last 3 or four years. She will never be forgotten. RIP Eve X TFTC cat_e_bear

Great find. Easy to spot.

Easy

The vast majority of the Wednesday Walkers were also geocachers, so the muggle minority were forced to tag along. First stop along the way, near a very pleasant golf course.

Surrounds a tad wet and slippery, but safely negotiated to GZ, cache found, log book signed, all replaced and on our way.

TNLN. TFTC.

Grass wet and slippery, but safely negotiated to find the cache. Thanks cat_e_bear

Our first stop for the day. What a lovely golf course!

Left my calling card here. Cheers.

Wednesday 11 November. Its Balclutha, Stirling, Tokomairiro, Waitahuna, Mt Stewart windfarm and back to Balclutha today. Lets get exploring.

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.

Bit of a slippery muddy road up here today but what a cool spot!

Found about 2 o'clock and the ground and grass still white and very crunchie under foot.

Very straightforward find. Did wonder a moment about the cache title. However after a good look around I discovered multiple interpretations which might or might not apply. So there you go.

Thank you for the cache

Easy find

What should have been a simple find was not.

Samgran

Thanks

Good find by my youngest (he was getting a bit disheartened)

Wasn't quite where I was expecting but a QEF nevertheless. TFTC

Nice place too find one. Logbook getting full though

Nice easy find

Picked up this cache while at 4

#220 having found four caches already, we fourt we would find one more. Looked in the wrong place to start with but common sense came to the fore and before we knew it, cache was in hand! TFTC

No time for a round today but certainly time for just one more.

Thanks

Great day out caching in the area, lot of neat caches, and interesting spots. Many Thanks Bitsprayer

A quick park and grab while out about grabbing a few caches. This was an easy find and on to the next one. TFTC

Nice easy find tftc

Very busy across the road on a Saturday afternoon.

Good cache thanks.

Yeah a find after five misses in the Toko town. SL initials and rehid. TFTC

Otago weather starting to say, Dorothy - we're not in Southland anymore and another warm layer gets removed after the fog cleared. An easy find at the GZ following the elephant trail. Found the micro and SL our initials. Scribbled something down in my notes but could only read 'initials' so the log must be too full. TFTC

Four of us looked for this one and after a bit of fossicking whiskasnz was fortunate to find it. TFTC

A quick find in an area we have visited on caching business previously. Thanks

I found this one while the others were looking on the wrong side! TFTC

Last one for the night. Rain is really starting to come down now. TFTC

Very pleased to make a find here after two DNFs in a row. Watched a golfer fire off 4 shots off the closest tee before he heade3d off. Must be a bit tricky keeping track of 4 balls unless you manage to stick to the fairway. TFTC #10,017

Easy find, TFTC.

quick find can remember doing a cache around here a few years ago

A quick find today while passing through the area. TFTC [^]

Having worked near by for some time now I thought it was time to stop and grab this one. After a lovely little drive with the kids we found this one without too much trouble. Myself and Hannah filled in the log whilst the boys patted the nearby horses. The golf course also looks very inviting. Perhaps another day. Thanks for the cache, the roaming Hayward

Out today to get a few caches around the taieri planes. Views are amazing. Thank you to all for the caches

Blend in.

Not much activity on the course at 6pm, lucky for us. Cheers, the Milton Hilton is rather impressive on the drive back with all the lights on.

NIce specimen of a hint item. The road was very sticky with a nice layer of mud on it! Thanks.

Found with Kiwi Moose as we headed back to the airport and points North.

Thanks to the CO's for the hides. Cheers.

Lovely day for a round of golf. Fourth cache found today. Logged with granville86a TFTC

Quick find on way home after spending day in Dunedin. Plenty of golfers out today but no one seemed to notice us while grabbing the cache.

Found with Just-Lookin.
We enjoyed the nice drive around the area.
Soon located the container in the dark.

Holidaying in the area with tmann421 and collecting some caches along the way.

A nice quick find for us here today. TFTC

#13 on a 3 day weekend of geocaching adventures down South. Quick find by J. TFTC

Trip down a road we had never been before. We thought we might have to come back to this one because there were so many people on the golf course but as it turned out they were so interested in their game they took no notice of us.
TFTC

Fun roadtrip with some muggle friends who are always up for a random trip, where I'll turn off onto some random road.

Was hunting in the wrong spot. Luckily I had my helpers as one put her hand straight onto it.

Easy find on way home. Tftc

Not in the obvious place. Thanks.

Have played on this golf course that we passed on the way to the cache.
Thanks for the cache cat_e_bear

Unaware of the co-ord update so found using the old numbers. Hint pretty explicit however. If the cache name is a reference to golf then I think you will find it is 'Fore!' The popular understanding is that this is a reference to a "fore-caddy" who was a person who waited near to where the ball was expected to land so they could spot it. The golfer would shout to alert the fore-caddy that they were about to play the shot. TFTC.

A quick find with the updated co-ords. Found with Aoraki Sheep.

The geo-grandad made a quick find here. Found with debsnz

Tftc. Co right on the spot.

Coordinates changed from:
S 46° 05.508 E 170° 01.635

Coordinates changed to:
S 46° 05.506 E 170° 01.622

Distance from original: 56.2 feet or 17.1 meters.
changed co-ords

I found that the co-ordinates were somewhat out but with the hint you couldn't go wrong. Quite well hidden.

First to find on our way to town on a wet old day
