On a trip to visit my sister and getting some caches for a challenge. All good with the cache. Thanks
Pulled over here for a break & what do you know - there is a cache to be found!! TFTC
On our way to Chch Debsnz and I decided to walk this little track. We missed the walkway and meandered through the wet grass to this one, before we found the track. Thanks for placing it.
Stopped at the roadside parking area for a cup of tea and change of drivers. A line of caches here? A new track? This is great to find out about... the first is only 70 m away, would be rude not to... great to be back in Bitsprayer territory! Ooops, have cup of tea in hand but no pen, so will provide a photo log!

After a fairly long and intense day on the road caching yesterday, today I planned to take a more relaxed approach, finding a few more caches on my drive from Oamaru to Christchurch. A short walk around the Glenavy Reserve Track made a change from the mostly park and grab caches I was finding today. This first one was found in about the third place I checked. TFTC, Biggles.
Road tripping around otago and geocaching along the way. Found with everdene22. Tftc
Found with StreetWalkerNZ on the last day of our four day trip to Oamaru and environs and time to head back home to Christchurch, via the scenic route 
.
We have driven through Glenavy a few times since these caches were published, but never really had the time to stop and check them out. Today was the day, especially as there was a very conveniently located toilet at the parking area. This was a quick find as we entered the forest. TFTC.

#18337. Although it was close to midday it was still very chilly in the pine trees. The hint made this an easy find. TFTC.
Itis nice to see that Bitsprayer is still geocaching. A nice walk around the Glenavy Reserve and a nice easy find. We took the travel bug. We couldn't find a way to the river from here which is weird as you used to be able to get there from here. Mind you the river is in flood today so there would be no fishing for us. Hope the worms are not going on holiday with us again.
A quick and easy find. We will come back for the others another day, as the rain is closing in.
One the way direction south here we made a rest und looked for caches too. Tftc
New Zealand we are back again.
Hoping to find some caches at secret or interesting locations we are with the motorhome on the road.
On the way to Moeraki Boulders Scenic Reserve we came over the Waitaki bridge and turned for taking pictures. This cache was an easy find. Thanks.
Thanks to Bitsprayer for hiding and maintaining.

Finally got around to doing this series. After knocking the snails off ,signed the log and off to the next one.. Tftc.
Quick pit stop to stretch the legs. Will need to remember this place is here next time I’m passing with the dogs. Cache has a couple of hitchhikers today
Out for a run after finishing a night shift and having ran around these woods Soo many times I actually remembered my GPS today cheers ️
I am traveling with my daughter Lucinka mundlinka and son Negrritos across the New Zealand. We are from Prague, Czech Republic. We love "geocaching", the main target is caches

Many beautiful caches, amazing and unforgettable experiences, thank all owners, TFTC)

A planned geocaching trip with specific targets in mind.
1: The final 2 caches to fill my D/T grid
2: The last 5 caches available (all in the South Island) to meet the NZ Jasmer challenge GC4R9Z6
3: Get as many caches as possible in a day (Solo)
I had no timetable and only a vague route (Christchurch - Dunedin- Invercargill). So after 20 days of sleeping in my tent/car I arrived home having traveled 4500km and visited some interesting places. Met some great people. I had found over 650 caches. That was a lot of park. Jump out out. Find cache sign and return. Then on to the next. All this done by myself. Also attended an event and had 2 FTF
Mission 1 and 2 were achieved and I had a best day of 153 caches. All this done by myself.
Day 14 Herbert Forrest to Waitaki 51 caches found today. Missions completed by now so caching my way back up the island. Thank you for the placement.

A quick easy find on a pleasant walk in the shade of the trees on this walkway. TFTC
Stopped for another break and soon walked along the path. I spotted the cache and we stamped and returned. TFTC
Found with Julius family while on Christmas holiday in South Island and Stewart Island. Logging now as I have my own account. TFTC
For my personal challenge of working towards getting my calendar on GC.COM to be at least the same shade of green or darker I need to sign off at least 10 caches today. I won't grumble if I find one or two more
. I had shifted my snail shell back in Oamaru for a few days on my way further south.
Time for a little walk to sign off a handful fof caches.
Cheers for the cache.

Found during our return road trip from Papamoa to Dunedin. No problem with the find TFTC.
Out geocaching with WGHS for activities day, quick find - TFTC. Pick up Travel Bat
My original intention was to find all of the caches in this spot but with the rain I changed to only going for one in the hope of dropping off a couple of TB's into a cache that wasn't too isolated. A quick find and a container large enough for one of the TB's
Driving from Tekapo to Dunedin and found this lovely little spot as a stop off point and a place to stretch the legs. While the kids headed to the toilet I wandered thru the warm spring breeze to make this find. Nice and straight forward. TFTC
A quick find of the 4 caches in this reserve. We targeted these as we were keen to stretch the legs a little and these looked like a nice little walk. Did not attempt the one further on that required a stream crossing, TFTC Bitsprayer.
Day 7 of 8 of a trip around the South Island. Today, it’s Oamaru to Christchurch.
We hit the road at a reasonable hour, but not before stocking up on lollies from the factory shop here in Oamaru.
The aim for today was a few targeted older caches, as usual on this trip, and some short walks around other areas just to stretch the legs, as well as the odd PnG where we could. Kept track of time the whole way as it’s mum’s birthday and we have a dinner date in Christchurch. TFTC to all COs, we had a good day of travelling.

Had a bag full of trackables, thought we'd drop a few between here and Christchurch. Had one small enough to drop here.
Very damp this morning as we picked our way through the grass. Easy find. TFTC
Fine winters day, time to get back out and to some caching. Nice little walk in the sunshine. TFTC
An enjoyable walk collecting a few caches as we head North. Worked down here for many years but never stopped to enjoy the walk. TFTC
The first of this wee series and good to get out for a walk. Look like some heavy machinery helped here. Thanks.

We were in Dunedin for the weekend - celebrating the little bros graduation.
On the drive home, we had a stop here with the whanau, as mum was really keen to collect the caches. Good stretch of the legs, and finds weren't too tricky either
TFTC!!

The location of a frequent stop on the way north, so this time we had a good reason to stretch the legs more and go for a walk! Pleasant stroll and easy finds, TFTC!!
