Continuing our bike ride slowly along the coast. Beautiful weather. Took a while to locate as searched rather than used GPS. Both container and logbook were in good condition. Thanks hazedarus for the cache. Find# 2711

We looked on the wrong side of the road but then found it. TFTC Found # 102 Streak day #21

Schnell gefunden. Ein schner TRAIL mit dem Rauschen des Ozeans im Hintergrund.Danke Guihei

Day twenty seven of our epic New Zealand Adventure with The Morris.Spent the day in Greymouth.We did our ride along the Wilderness trail today collecting mainly Survivor caches that were solved before we left home. Grabbed anything else we came across as well.Rode nearly 50km return.A mostly sunny day, a nice change from the last few.Is it a park and grab if you are on the deadly treadlies?Thanks, Robmc.

Day twenty seven of our epic New Zealand Adventure with RobmcToday we hired ebikes so we could ride along the Wilderness trail today collecting mainly Survivor caches that were solved before we left home and anything else we came across as well.Big day of riding and caching - we will sleep well tonight.Thanks for the cache hazedarus

Quick way park and grab thank you

Its a bit windy today!! A quick find after a brisk walk

Great cycle trail along here, nice quick find, TFTC

Stayed at the nearby freedom camping site overnight. Walked 1.4kms along this trail (each way) this morning to pick up five caches. This one took a couple of minutes to locate. Lots of rock options! #7154. TFTC.

Replaced full log.All good to go again.

Log full

Strolled along the beach and found some Caches on the way. TFTC

Mum joined me on my walk tonight and we walked down here to check on our cache a bit further. On our return we went up to the beach to check on the rough seafoam that was getting blown onto the cycletrack. While walking back to the track I spotted the cache very expose under a large overhanging rock so we put it back where we remember finding it and that matches the hint. All good here.

Quick find after a dnf. Tftc

Poked around for a while, then from a different angle I spotted a likely looking hidey hole. Yep! Log signed & returned.

A nice quick find here. TFTC.

????

Found on an early morning stroll. I expected it to be somewhere else so the search took a little longer.

Nice quick find today will bike some of the trail. A lovely day out but getting warm today. TFTH

However, many stones were found there

Found after a bit of a search. TFTC

Got misled by the coordinates on the way out but found it in a fairly obvious place on the way back. All good at GZ and TFTC.

Found with my wife

Thanks for hiding this cache hazedarus I appreciate it. This cache was found after lunch . We made a wee detour on our way to the supermarket . Instead of taking the camper van we rode our ebikes .

I have used this cycle track previously for Geocaching..but I noticed that I had not found this bother its blowing a gale and raining ..as we were close by a tad of fresh air would be good ..at GZ it took a few minutes to sort ..not where I would have thought..but a nice smilie thanks for the cache hazedarus

We have cycled this trail, but this cache mustn't have been there then. Today, in the wind and rain, we stretched our legs and walked along the trail to find this cache. There were no cyclists, but we had watched quite a few bedraggled and miserable cyclists come through half an hour earlier. Thanks for the placement hazedarus.

Out on an evening bike ride. A quick find on my way back to base from the breakwater. TFTC

Found on take 2. Not quite where expected. Good condition. Tftc

Found in the first place I looked, love it when that happens; TFTC

Found with FinikiAF

Looked in the wrong place too long. Find you just before we were about to give up. Thanks!

Easy find tftc

Rechtzeitig vor dem Sonnenuntergang gefunden, thanks

Thought "oh my god there's so many hiding spots here" and then a few seconds later I found it

Thanks for your amazing cache. I really appreciate the time you took to set up and maintain your caches. Cheers, Cympull.

Quick and easy find, tftc

Found it during morning run. Tftc

Bit of digging and soon had it out.

Found it

Quick find on a nice walk in the area. Enjoying the caches

Great find,. Thank you for the cache

Found it ! Didn't have a pen though:

Spending the winter woofing, tramping and exploring the west coast caching along the way ..of course..
In greymouth for a couple of nights then on to pancake rocks for my next job..
Out for a morning stroll, cache was exposed so signed and added more camo tftc

Logging for the record, I was with the CO when this was placed.

Tftc!

Found it

Decided on a bit of a bike ride along the trail to get some of the caches. A couple of likely spots to search here but we soon had the cache in hand. TFTC

Checked out a number of spots before making the find.
Thanks for putting this here

As we approached we saw a torchlight further along the track it was long before it disappeared around a corner though, nice quick find thanks hazedarus

#11899

It's good sometimes to cache in the dark with no muggles around .Thanks hazedarus for this cache

Good

Found while having a after dinner walk.TFTC

Definitely covered well and we replaced and covered it just as well. TFTC

We have been saving this cache for just the right occasion and not having found a cache yet this year we stopped on the way passed to check on one of our caches along here. A quick easy find as expected and we appreciated the 'hard place' to use as a shelf for all the bits of the cache while the signing was completed. Thanks for the cache and the souvenir

Found with Kiwimykl, refer to his log for details.

TFTC hazedarus

Found with NZDi, refer to her log for details.

I carried on along the track from the previous cache to here. Cache title and hide are a perfect match. TFTC # 17,878

Enjoying a bike ride along this trail, so many interesting features along the way and good geocaching too! Thanks hazedarus.

A nice quick find thanks.

Ms_KR and I are off on a wee jaunt to the West Coast, to "climb another mountain". Today we went home. Very moody on the west coast, a bit drizzly, a bit sunny. Good to get home though.

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

After completing the Ad lab and associated bonus, the weather remained dry, so we decided to take the short walk to this cache while the going was good.
The cache was hidden in the first place StreetWalkerNZ looked, but he somehow managed to miss it. After searching several other places without luck, I decided to take a look here as well as it fitted with the cache name perfectly. Wot's this? A cache! Must be time to get a hot drink and lunch to revitalise the flagging energies. TFTC.

#20376. I made hard work of this one; luckily Troodles was more thorough. TFTC.

When the long weekend was discussed and we were trying to decide where to go I suggested Greymouth as I know there is a Community Event on tomorrow, GK was keen on the East Coast, so here we are in Greymouth. Will be the East Coast next time

Arriving late this afternoon we thought a walk along here would be just the thing to stretch our legs after sitting while traveling.

At first I looked in a place that was much more difficult than the actual hide really was. This was a nice easy find (in the end haha), all is in great condition and was returned how I found it after signing the log.
Thanks for placing this cache and thank you for the smiley.

So many stones. Tftc

One of the quickest finds we have had. We walked straight to it. A good way to finish a long day. TFTC

Yes with Kaz53

Found while walking the track. Nice and sunny with a slight breeze. TFTC

Another easy find. Enjoying walking along here. TFTC

Cache found on a 4 day caching adventure across to the West Coast. Started in Westport and traveled down to Greymouth and Hokitika and the hinterland. Sorry for the generic log but found so many great caches on our journey. Many thanks for all the Cache owners for the cache placement maintaining the caches. TFTC

Quick grab. - Thanks Bitsprayer

I often run along here but usually don't like stopping. Today I decided it was time I ticked off a few caches along this stretch. Nice quick find. TFTC

F2F
Quick find, thankyou.
