I was confused about which way to go and what to bring but it all became clear as I reached GZ..
Not seen one like this before! Located but then still took a minute to figure out how to remove! Thanks for the cache, all in good condition
A nice easy find here, we were expecting a greater challenge based on the difficulty rating, but this didn't give us any trouble. TFTC!
Visiting the grown up kids in Christchurch. Had a list of specific D/T ratings that I needed for a challenge cache in the UK. Got to GZ and soon spotted the cache as I have a similar cache hide. Signed the log. Thanks for the smiley
log to follow - I'm writing this to get my numbers up to date before a big caching day out tomorrow 15th April - especially as find #5,000 is in clear view I want to keep accurate track of my numbers.
Nice quick find, took a little bit longer to spot what I needed to retrieve it! TFTC!
This was on my must do list today because of the DT rating, nice easy find, thanks brodiewill

Came back for a second look.....
Did I really miss that last time?
Or did something change slightly?
A quick grab today for Day 26 of the 55 day challenge.
Anyhow, glad to have this smiley on the map.
TFTC- log dry and in good condition

Uh oh, this cache is compromised.
The cover is missing and container has fallen to the bottom and is now unreachable.
I tried a TOTT but unfortunately cache isn't magnetic.
Maintenance required on this and a couple of other caches nearby (same CO)
Will keep an eye and return if this gets replaced

Went for a look while giving the dog a fun and cache is fine. Still accessible without the lid.
We went out for groceries but needed to go to the library which morfed into lunch and seeing as we were close by this got added to the list. It was a damp and deserted area and then the rubbish truck appeared and we were going to be in the way. It proved to be the work of moments so all good there and doing groceries came to the top of the list. However we're close by so we'll go and see a frend first. Tftc
A nice quick find thanks.
Ms_KR and I went for a drive to East Gate and this was relatively close so we went and made the find. A little easier than I was expecting. Cheers.
Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Mrs Biggles and I are staying for a week in our daughter's house, house and dog sitting. This morning I took our geodog Fozzie and his new 'friend'Alfie for a walk and found a few caches along the way. Nice one! Found the cache in the first place I checked. Last cache for my dog walk this morning. TFTC, Biggles.
Spotted when we pooled up placed back in it hiding place after signing the log tftc brodiewill
When I found this cache, I was calling you all sorts of unsavoury names. You got me. (fav)
Whilst cycling toward the Linwood Cemeteries I found that I would be passing right by this cache which I failed to find last year. Hmmm, which way should I go? Why don't I try that way. Yippee/ Right on one. TFTC B&W.

Found on a dog walk.
Another one just around the corner.
At first I thought, darn, looks like the TOTT I needed to take here was water to get the cache out. But turned out I did not need any TOTTs.
And after I went neither way - just went straight onto the grass :p
Kia ora! Paldies!

Haha, how many geocachers does it take to figure out a cache? Apparently a few of us...great entertainment until the aha moment arrived
Found with team woof and knotobkessed and kiwicampnut. Cheers Brodie for this nice challenge
Tricky little beast this one but then it was found by one of the group and we all had an ahhaa moment before signing the log.
Found it. Took a while to figure out it’s attached to fishing line(Purdie,Geomurph,Vallenesca,NotObsessed,Kiwicampmum,SonofAnarchy)
Nice one... Thanks brodiewill for creating this hide. It was find 8825 for me.

A nice quick find here. Mr B's eagle eyes had spotted the hiding place before I had chance to get organized. TFTC.
A quick find for this, our last cache of the day on a tour through BrodieWill's neighbourhood. The torch came in handy. We still have a way to go through the neighbourhood, and will be back next weekend. Thanks for the fun!
After 2 earlier DNFs this cache was a delight!!! No hint from the title or anything for that matter, but a dry and warm well hidden container. We stood there in full view and no one took any notice. Thank you BW
With Baird out again after lockdown, taking Ralph the turtle for a walk quick easy find, tftc
Out for an afternoon adventure with busy paws and lytteltonwitch. Went the right way and got the cache. Thanks brodiewill.
Found with Xanthelou today, have seen a similar cache like this before. Fun find. TFTC
Found with Dracophyllum. Go left, go right, go over? Nice little hide, found after a bit of a think. TFTC.
Last one of seven located on a warm summer’s afternoon at the start of a long weekend in Christchurch. Got to GZ with little difficulty and spotted what looked like the cache. However for a moment or two I couldn’t figure out how to access it! Fortunately I managed to feel what I didn’t initially see. #3201. TFTC.
A nice easy find in the first spot I checked. Saw they decoy message, but also spotted a little something else that told me to investigate further.
A good job really, as it's quite exposed really.

Find number 4140

This is very clever but not so hard if you have found this type before which I have. Still fun to find, TFTC
8359. Dropped Iris off at the airport (Wellington to visit her Mum). Checked out one of our own caches and did seven others “on the way home”. This was find number 1. A clever hide but a very easy find for an experienced geocacher. Thanks. Rodney
What a funny cache and comment. I had to check twice before I finally retrieved this one. Interesting traffic routeing indeed.

No one about and a chilly wind. Quick find on a weekend day but I think otherwise I'd do it at night! Tftc

I like this kind of hide. I felt very exposed but the cache was in the first place I looked. Tftc!
Another good hidey place. glad neighborhood was quiet as we stood doing this one.
When we arrived- we had an idea what we would be looking for. And there it was- well done again. Nice that there was no-one about
Felt rather exposed doing this one but it was a good cache with plenty of effort put into it. Thanks
Found with StreetWalkerNZ on a warm Saturday afternoon jaunt around the Linwood / Wainoni area to polish of unfound caches in the area. Eleven looked for and eleven found , always good to have just smiles. All brodiewill caches, and I really appreciate the effort you put into your hides.
Another bold hide, but luckily it didn't too long to find, just a wee bit longer to extract as we used the wrong TOTT, which in the end was not required. Log book was hard to remove, as the plastic bag is a tad large for the container. TFTC.

#17767. Cache was in the first place I checked, but it took longer than it should have to spot the retrieval mechanism. Another nice hide. TFTC.
Doh. Busted. Lol. Did we look "nonchalant"...lol.
We were watching a guy up his drive watering his garden...didnt spot you in a car though...

Yes very Team_Gaters, you both didnt notice me sitting in the car across the way watching as i left
A couple of FTF today it has been a while. This one had us poking and proding and finally we went back to the first place we tried. Thanks brodiewill for a fun cache.
