Trees cut down, diggers been in the area. - Bitsprayer

So easy there was a massive slug on it

Looked around all the obvious places and was thinking it would be another DNF when Spoonz2 uncovered it. Replaced as per hint and coords. Found with Spoonz2

Debsnz and I searched for a while before we found this in a place that did not fit. Had been found by a group of school children who may have put it back there. After we signed the log we replaced this as per the coordinates and the hint. Thanks for this series.

The walk beside the stream is nice. Didn't come back by the loop.

Enjoying the walk

Tftc,lots of foam in creek must be some type of runoff into it

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. Last one for the walk. All good fun. TFTC, Biggles.

Road tripping around otago and geocaching along the way. Found with everdene22. Tftc

Found with mangoambs while touring Otago. Nice spot. Thank you for the cache.

Turnaround point on a quick leg stretch during my drive from Nelson to Dunedin. Hearing severe weather warnings are in place for the last leg Amaroo to Dunedin – hail and thunderstorms!! Hope to get through before the weather sets in.

Found on way to Geraldine for a few nights. Enjoying the caches

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 .
The last of three caches found on this wee walk, and another quick find. Good to have a leg stretch before continuing north. TFTC.

#18339. Three finds out of four was quite a good haul. Time to scuttle back to car to warm up (it was still cold in the shade). TFTC.

Another smiley collected. Stream looking very clear and clean. Thanks.

Quick find. TFTC

Another easy find and a circular walk back to the car park.

And the final quick find on the way, TFTC

Quick easy find. TFTC

One more for good luck. Now we really must drive straight to Dunedin. TFTC

And where else would you hide caches in a pine forest. Tftc.

Cheers Bitsprayer for this little series. Well worth the stop to stretch your legs .

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 )

Found 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

I had a bit of time up my sleeve so after using the nearby facilities I decided on a short stroll to finish off this series. it was pleasant seen the stream nearby that I didn't know about.

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.

Out geocaching with WGHS for activities day, quick find - 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.

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

A great track, but where are the birds?? With some native planting it will be worth another visit in a number of years. Thanks for the wee series.

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!!

Great find, just no3 needs dealing with. Guessing it needs maintaince

Good find

Nice Easter Day walk. Thanks for the hide.

It,s amazing where we get to and where you have been before us Bitsprayer! Easy find thanks to the good clue. Cache all good, TFTC

Found it

On our way to Christchurch we also stopped in Glenavy Camping site. We explored the closer area around the site and found this cache as well.

TFTC says anbo68 from German

It was a nice walk along this creek. We found three out of the four caches. TFTC!

Was going to Oamaru for a day trip with Mrs Yeetrees as she wanted to go for a ride and pick up a few caches as I wanted to train her how to cache with a phone. We also needed to go and get a new microwave for her dad as I was getting a bit annoyed with the one that he currently owned as it was made when the dinosaurs walked this planet as it was so slow in heating up things that it basically took 4 times longer than it should.

After finding GC7DKG7 - Glennay Reserve Three, this was the next cache that we had on our list to find today. I let Mrs Yeetrees out to search for this cache as I followed her path down this lovely walkway, it only took her a few seconds to work out were this cache was and was able to retrieve it, signed and then replaced it was found.

Thanks Bitsprayer for placing this cache here and for bring us to this spot, will be interesting to see how long this cache will last here for, TFTC TNLNSL (12895), This was the last cache that was on this walkway that we were walking down, time to turn around and make it back to the car.

I had a goal to get to 2000 finds before the end of the year so a 2 day caching mission to Oamaru was in order. I started day 2 with a lovely wee walk around Glenavy Reserve. A beautiful morning and it was so nice walking along hearing the birds singing and the nearby stream flowing. A wonderful start to the day and a nice quick find. TFTC

I parked up, entered and walked along from the Paper Road walkway entrance. There is a good information board there of all the walks/rides in the area. TFTC # 11,679

Between Oamaru and Rakaia we had four major stops to find caches. The first stop was at the picknick area by Pukeuri, where we found two caches with some historical aspects, then we stopped at the Glenavy Reserve walkway at Waitaki river bridge.
We moved on to Timaru and did some caches from the Saltwater creek walkway where we met Canadian geocachers and had a nice chat and our last geocaching stop was at Ashbury for a part of the Lake Hood trail.
After a short chat with a kiwi, who was there because he had better cellphone reception then at home, we went for this trail and we found 5 caches on it.
Team Mavos - Albert and Maria

found all safe and secure exactly where it should have been thank you for bringing me out here to walk another track TFTC

Up for business, thought grab some caches on the way home. TFTC

A good stretch of the legs. A nice walk today.
Thanks for the series.

A nice quick find on a quick walk around the reserve. Cheers.

Time for some final caches around Oamaru, and then cruise on home, with Kiwi Moose. Signed the logs K2MR for brevity. Thanks to the CO's for the Caches.

Out and about with Karma Reprint this weekend, done the trees, now for a wander down the road. Cheers

With GPS coverage reduced to zero and the rain and cold making the walk miserable we missed this one. Thanks. Rodney and Iris.

Found whilst visiting the Oamaru Geofest with Rediguana.
Sorry about the generic log - I have had GPS issues so have had to recover the list of caches that I found today in order to log them online.

TFTC nice quick find

Another one done

Nice wee walk, thanks

No problems with any of these. Thanks.

Just starting to get into the rhythm of this series and it stops Cheers Gav

Found whilst on the geofest race. What a great race.

Caching with our NZ friends, signing as TTT. Enjoying traversing the area and finding lots of caches. Nice little of stretch of the legs. Tftc

On the road to the Oamaru Geofest with Taybeedragon. Or more correctly, off the road as too many hours in the car makes us both want to get some tree time. And since this is a nice cluster of caches in the trees...
Am also plotting the track, will add it to the maps shortly.

she walked back to here

Time for a couple of caches before our meet and greet this evening. With Zara and Toby parked up -too much time spent on wheels today - so lets get these feet walking in this great reserve.
Enjoying being out among my friends the trees. Snagged and tagged. Now how to get over there?? OK lets check out the multis on the way. Cheers

Nearly had to change my shorts after being dive bombed by a magpie after leaving the last cache this was a nice quick find to finish off the reserve .thanks bitsprayer for breaking up the journey

I am armed and ready for the return to the car tftc

A quick find on my walk in the area

I had a really lovely time walking in the woods with dghoffy. Wonderful to stretch out legs!

I am heading down to Oamaru with LSteamer. Not long now until the geofest.
Which tree? Oh that tree. Thanks for the series. It's a great place to stretch legs.

Find out more about New Zealand's next big event [Oamaru Geofest](http://oamarugeofest2017.wixsite.com/geocachingevent) and come and join us.

Thanks. Bitsprayer for putting in the effort to hide this geocache. This was find 5118 for me.

Last one near the N end of the track. TFTC

Just before I left home to make my way towards Geofest 2017 I quickly loaded this and the other 4 recently published Bitsprayer caches into my gps. Nice quick find. I see I'm following in the footsteps of drawp today. TFTC

Lovely spot along the river - tftc Ftf - 12.45
