Great hiding spot and a lovely walk

Now that the sun has come out it is time to go for a walk. Our second find along the track and once again a spot of maintenance was required. We gave it a tidy up by removing old wet logs and inserting a nice new log and bag. Should be all go now for quite a while. tftc#9895

Found with Kat, TFTC

TFTC found with Maedchenhabenspass. Log book is a bit damp. My GPs was 8m out Cool hide though

Wouldnt have found it without reading other peoples logs but made sense afterwards

Fun!

Swapped a pompom for a wee dolphin! TFTC

It took a while, but finally found it! Our first find.

Found it

Was a bit tricky, but eventually found it. Well camouflaged!

Quick and easy find on a nice walk

Now I understand the 'camouflage' hints...

Nice quick find whilst enjoying views of the Sound

Headed over to Picton for a long evening of caching around Victoria Domain and Snout track. Managed 14 finds, 1 DNF, a swim and a few hours of walking. This took a while. So many potential spots and my GPS had me about 10m out. Spotted once I read previous logs and approached from the lower track. Cache other all fine. Thanks for the smiley

Nice

During our trip around NZ we also visited this place. We found several caches here. Thank you. Greetings from the Czech republick.

1,204 took a bit to find.

Done

Such a nice little walk to pick up this one. Log is pretty much destroyed, and unfortunately didnt have any paper on me, but managed to sign. Picked up the TB there and will move that on. TFTC

Found on a bike ride with my wife.

It's the weekend after Christmas So JDScout and I are spending two nights in Picton, followed by three nights in Havelock We stayed in Picton last night.. We continued pad here to within 800m of the Snout.

Found it on a stay in Picton.TFTCHilgenerSchatzsucher

Today we made a nice walk, and enjoyed the nice weather and surroundings.Thanks for placing and maintaining this geocache,Greetings from team Camperfietser

Petit run de dcouverte de Picton ce soir avec une srie de cache, a donne envie dy retourner vlo! Tftc

Nicely camouflaged

Nicely camouflaged

Missed it on the way out to the Snout today, but after stopping to rest at the top lookout, we decided to head home without going the whole way north. While searching for the cache on the way back to the car, we met a couple of Schnauzers who told me quite loudly that I was in their walking spot. I didn't tell them about the cache, which was safe and sound.

Cool cache. Bring a pen, needs a new log soon. Found once we read the description a bit more. Little one enjoyed seeing the treasure inside. Thank you!

Spending the weekend in the top of the South, so found a few caches on our wanders.

In the area for a couple of days and decided to take in some walks. In looking for this hide we realised that there was another path and the hint made more sense from there! After that realisation it wasn't long before the hide was found, log signed and all replaced as found. Thanks for adding to our adventure and another smile on the geomap Raisinpig!

Logged a dnf a year or so ago, but luck today. Branched out further and bingo! GPS was out or tree disturbance. Tftc

Un plain sight ! We will try to put it back a little bit more camoed

Et une de plus avec CrazyTraveler
Bien en place

Found on our hike today above Picton.

We had a nice walk around Picton and Bazi was the lucky one
TFTC Strietsi und Bazi

Found without a bike. TFTC.

Easily spotted as we walked along this path .
Thanks

Found it! Took a while but boom!

Was a little way from the navigation but other people’s logs helped us find it.

Good hide! Tftc

Found it, although having no bike I had to go off my path. Thank you.

tftc

Found thanks...

Beautiful evening for a walk and a quick cache! Tftc!

Found. Very well hidden but be sure to branch out more than you think.

A quick find as it wasn't covered very well. TFTC

Quick find with Kaz53

I spent a lot of time too far up until I read a log about it being reachable from the MTB track. TFTC.

We made this one more difficult than it really was and had to return to basic's and what the other logs said. Once we were a little more focused on the task at hand it soon all fell into place

Nice little slip and slidey fun find! Tftc

A hunting we will go!! Found it still in good nick

Had a good look but no luck for me this time. Many brunches down after cyclone a few days ago.

Found it. Took us a wee while to locate but made it in the end. Was closer to the mbt than originally thought...TFTC

Went out today with some of the whanau to look for geocaches along the snout track before the rain set it. TFTC

Good find, and had a nice chat with a piwakawaka while I was signing the log.

Well hidden

Well hidden. Great cache

Well hidden, but found eventually. And a glorious day in Picton

Thanks for the cache Band W. Figured where the cache was and yeap there it is. Break in the bad weather and on my bike for a few caches up here.

Hmmm . . . With about a million possible places here and my GPSr reading accurate to +/- 25m near the GZ I almost didn't even bother with this cache. Luckily it was much bigger than I expected and I spotted it out of the corner of my eye just a couple of metres from the wee shortcut. TNLNSL TFTC

Hiking the snout today. Will have to bring a bike up next time. Nice hide!

We thought we stood no chance to find it, but very shortly afterwards it was in hand. We started on the big path from the road and then used shortcut onto MTB path. TFTC

Was enjoying this track so much went right passed. Lol. Back tracked and soon was found.

Was walking the Snout Track with Jan ( nette ) on the first full day of our Cachecation .
We really enjoyed walking on the bike track as it was a fairly flat elevation and in the shade.
Thanks!

Found with Geeves90, Kimmy+co plus picton adventuring guides and rangers.

Found with hayzz, Kimmy+co plus Guides and Rangers over from Wellington
Wonderful weekend in the Sounds

This was a make sure you are on the right track experience LOL

Found it! Try left...

Tftc, start of a long weekend camp with girl guides.

Found but the native fauna is rotting so some broke away today. Maybe consider a new spot

Family holiday time...a couple nights Kaikoura, a couple Picton & finish off in Nelson.....
After a couple nights in Kaikoura its time for Pictons couple of nights...
Family bike ride time...pretty hot dy so the bike/walk up from the mariner was pretty harsh! Nice views up here though & the bike along the top a bit easier! Nice wee detour to this stop. Cheers.

Thanks for putting out this cache for woolwood9 and I to visit!
SL **tm/ww NZ** (may just be a black smudge on wet or plastic logs)
*Another good cache located - now onto the next one!*

Last day of our 3 week geocaching trip in the South Island, picked this one up on the way to the ferry. Good walk to cache.

Nice to be away on another geocaching trip with tmann421, travelling to a few places in the upper South Island.
All logs signed tm/ww NZ

Nice and easy find. TFTC!

GPS a few m out.. No need for a bush bash. Great hide! - V²

Not near coords. Off by about 5m. May be trees putting off the GPS. Found anyway. TFTC

Yes, didn't notice this mtb track until dragged in here by the gps thanks for doing that to us.

Great one, easy once we realised there was a second path...tftc

TFTC. our penultimate of the day

Started on the wrong track!

TFTC!

Great cache. Took us a while, which was fun.

Had this entered in my GPS for 3 years! Finally, thanks to Covid-19 restrictions and NO bike activity, I explored a couple of the Snout MTB tracks. A qef as coordinates were spot on. All in good shape though log has absorbed a bit of dampness - still writable.

Great camouflage. My phone was 15 metres ‘out’ but not many ‘in’ places anyway! Great clue

Well done for the camouflage!

As the coords were quite accurate and especially because of the hint not to step from the path we found this box quite quick.
Thank you for leading us to this beautiful area!
Paddelhannes + Kanuirm from Bavaria, Germany

Took a while to spot the camo. A nice hide. TFTC

TFTC!

A quick find on the way out to the snout once I realised there was another track close by. Thanks Raisinpig

Found after negotiating some blackberry to get onto bike track from walking track. Gave a large spider a fright when removing the cache. Good camo container. TFTC

I decided to try for a few caches along the Snout Tracks to see how far my knee would hold out.

In: TB.

Cheers for the cache.

Found it on a walk. Tftc

More on than in so hid a little better.

Found it with Aiden29 on great campervan Labour weekend NZ GeoTour. TFTC
