Walk This Way Rockdale, South Island, New Zealand
By Tuitigger on 24-Feb-19. Waypoint GC83Y78

Time to call it a day on this one, and open up the area for another hide.

Hi Tuitigger

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Regards
TheCoddiwompler

A further look today
but no smiley for mr.

Nice walk, unfortunately could not find

Looked around for a fair bit, couldn’t find it

No wagging tails for an excuse today, just didn’t find it
My Gz was on track, near the tree with the red markings

Sadly no find for us, we ranged up and down the track, and around and around, as the GPSrs took us hither and thither. Surprised there is no hint in such heavy bush.

Searched for quite a while, but no joy.

Good one

tftc. A bit tight

No problems here with finding it. Thanks for placing it Tuitigger.

A nice quick find thanks.

Ms_KR and I are on the road to Southland to finish off the Southern PW GeoTour. Today we cruised around Invercargill. The place has changed a bit since we used to live there in the 80's, but then again it is still recognisable.

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

*Found on a nice day going from cache to cache with woolwood9.*
We soon had the container located. SL: **tm/ww NZ**
Thanks for putting this out for us to visit!

Raining a bit, but not too bad!

On a three week trip to the lower South Island with tmann421 hunting caches.
Enjoyed the trip around and the challenge of the finds.

Thanks

Nimble fingers needed to retrieve this cache. Having a short trip from Invercargill to Christchurch with Infoferret finding lots of caches, in particular the TMGT caches for me.
The cache may be signed with our individual names or ‘IE’.
Many TFTC.

Ethness spotted this, I managed to extract and replace it. Lifting it up is the way to go. TFTC

First find for mama bear

Good hiding place on lovely track

This was a quick find but took some nimble finger work to manoeuvre the cache out of the narrow opening. Very pleased my hands aren't any fatter than they are. TFTC # 16,353

I spotted then bella spotted then ryken spotted it. all in all we signed the log and off we go to try and track down the next one HOPEFULLY TFTC

And another one scooped up along this great bush walk. Cheers.

Tuesday 27 October. Checking out Invercargill again today. Lets go Toby!

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.

This one also took a while to find, but found in the end, lucky I have small hands so wasn't an issue to retrieve... Tftc

Cache 179 figured with a bonus day off I’d take dogs for a walk look for hidden rocks and avenge a DNF or 2 lol so far no rocks but found this one super easy this time how in the heck did I miss this first time around Rock bug added to cache T4TC

Had the kids walking right into the bush with out realising how close we really were to it. Cute little hiding place

Had major trouble pin pointing location compass kept bouncing me around a lot will try again at a later date ️

We quickly spotted the cache location, but took an age to extricate it from its hiding place. We were hoping a small child might pass by so we could utilise their small hands. TFTC

A quick evening jaunt around Seaward Bush Reserve grabbing a few traditional before it got dark. Fourth of four. Thanks for the cache. And distance challenge.

**Found on our February - March tour around the South Island. Logging back home in Auckland in Lockdown isolation.**

Travelling from Gore to Invercargill today, targeting mainly TMGT caches and solved puzzles.
We enjoyed the caching the loop walk in this Bush Reserve. Hoping to find all these 'Walk' caches so we can find the puzzle final. This one was a much quicker find than the last, and the numbers recorded. Thanks.

Found the geocache and then found a cool rock nearby, TFTC

Always enjoy this walk, nice to pick up a few caches around here and great for Kelboy as well to find caches and painted rocks. TFTC

Second time looking and still didn’t manage to find it. My GPS wouldn’t settle down so it made the search area very big. Nice walk though!

Really enjoying a walk through here.

Tftc. Another good hide..

Together with TEMBO! I had a really interesting geocaching-trip today. We could find some geocaches, met some locals and had a great talk to them.
Concerning this geocache I want to say thanks because we had much fun in searching and finding this geocache! The cache made our trip even more interesting!
TFTC!

After a failure *Dingo79* and I could be successful here again.

TFTC found with rachb

Yay

Thanks having a nice walk around this bush track and finding a few cache is a bonus. Thanks for placing this series.
Visiting Invercargill for the weekend down for a soccer tournament. Results were one draw and one win. Both really good games.

Went passed the spot, then had to backtrack a bit. Found after a wee hunt

Found it...finally

Quick find. TFTC.

a tight fit for the cache but quick and easy on my way round, had to leave the last 'walk' one as lots of people started using the track TFTC MATM

Tftc easy find sl and replaced

Raining now, so nice to be in the bush. -Thanks Bitsprayer

Day in town and had some spare time. TFTC

Tftc nice stroll through Bush

Tftc nice walk with the dog on a sunny winters afternoon

Easy find but harder to get my hands on it. Quiet today, just a few birds twittering so far.

Quick walk. Nice find. Thank you

A nice walk today after school. Found with Annielin and Downsouthinv.

I walked this way... then that way to pick up the caches needed for the final walk. More like a jog this way and that with puppa who was going stir crazy at home. Sorta had an idea for the final and yup after checking the logs it was clear I was on the right path. My offsider Granville86a and I were rummaging in the bush for the final I was just about to give up when I looked in the right direction could have easily missed it, Yay! tftc for the series TT

After doing some maintenance on another cache it was time to take Lizzie for a walk while thinking on how we can do 500 miles or 500 metres or is it 500 steps. Lots of muggles and doggies using the track today. Got to gz and then the search began. Lost service so lots of walking round until the cache located. Thanks Tuitigger

A gentle stroll after work and before pizza...
Maybe i should rethink pizza, .and start running...
Pffffft who am i kidding....
Tftc

Day 2 of my hunt for celebration souvenirs. Spent far too long looking before I approached at the right angle and voila!
Had just replaced when I hear a short drining sound and a plonk.
Carefully looked and there was what I think is a native bee crawling around the leaf litter.
Thanks for the smilie Tuitigger.

Which way do I walk?? Usually this long loop route taken around Seaward bush is the cache trail, looking in while going past at the FTF Multi I got while it was still a PMO and kick the multi WP back into the hide when it drifts to the top of the fallen log. Sometime ago I had a good laugh when a muggle looking for his dog found the final and signed his visit in the book. Seaward bush has just got that little bit more saturated with the available zones chopped down to one, or maybe two free places left for other caches. This hasn't diminished the number of runners and dog walkers who are sharing the bush walks with cacheri returning for more published caches. *I tossed a coin on publishing night and this cache lost hands down to two FTF's out in the back yard from home direction.* Got to the co'ods and while I normally come from the other direction, something suspicious caught my eye and true to the FTF'r, some manipulation soon had the box in hand. Signed the log book and returned to the spot with it's camo in place. Thanks for popping a cache here TT. **Carnival 3pt**

Thanks for cache - not sure how I missed it the first time around . Doesn’t help that my phone is so unstable that is has me meters away .
Good day for another walk so happy to be able to tick another dot day as well

Diane found it, cleared away any spiders, then it was my turn to retrieve,

Out for a walk so way not add to the fun.
As it was a warmer day I left my run until it had cooled down and hoped the gz would be less bissy.
Got to gz on my second lap and time my run right all quiet no muggles and there k9 friends.
A quick search soon had the cache in sight and then in hand.sl and returned.
Picked up TB not loged into cache . Will help them on their adventure.
Thanks for the hide

Mrs. Hazzer and I decided to make the most of the lovely sunny morning and went in search of two new caches in the area. Not too difficult to find. TFTC

SW’s cords were telling us still metres away but mine were saying we had gone passed it.
Thought we weren’t quite there then the cry went up “found it.” Tricky little brighter to get out of pose but patience won out. Log retrieved, signed & returned & cache tucked away again. TFTC Tuitigger

Checked emails around 9.30 pm ohh a new trad cache. Check batteries in GPS yep should be enough, check page yep no do not enter at night attributes so off I go in the mighty red racer. Once out of car now which way is the shortest... not sure lets go clockwise. Got to GZ after a real quiet walk, birds all asleep and no dogs being walked. Checked a spot then worked back about 3 m then spotted it with my trusty dolphin. Then the fun started... ended up taking watch off and using both hands extracted; SL and replaced. Then walked the way out 10 mins to the car. (may have put wrong time on log) FTF at 2200 hours. This fearless cacher is at home alone in the bush. Then out of the bush to brilliant display of stars many constellations identified. Then the rabbit chase down the road. TFTC
