Today I decided to load up the ebike on the back of the cachemobile to do some more on the Clutha Gold Trail from Milton to Waihola.I biked to this one.Cheers for the cache, Natalie247.

tmann421 and I are heading south after attending the MEGA, dodging as many showers as possibleWe enjoyed all the caches found and thank the cache owners for their efforts in maintaining these for us to findLog signed tm/ww NZTFTC

Out with woolwood9 after attending the MEGA in Dunedin.SL *tm/ww NZ* or *tm/ww*.We enjoyed the drive / walk around! Heading back into Dunedin from our overnight in Milton.*Thanks for the fun cache.*

Team SEAC consisting of HeMaLuDy, Stik-a-crane, UncleSam, Keylev and ourselves headed to Dunedin for the 2024 MEGA!All logs were signed as SEAC to save paper (except where specific signing requirements were requested)Third day of our Mega weekend. The weather although wet wasn't as cold as yesterday.Thanks to all the CO's who had maintained the caches as we found a majority with fresh paper and containers!TFTC

In Dunedin for Geo Toroa (Mega) with a team of cachers from South, East Auckland (SEAC), NZTravellers, KeyLev, HeMaLuDy, UncleSamNZ, and myself. This is our usual annual caching trip where we usually travel to a Mega (in NZ thus far) and/or cache the area, or select an area most of us haven't been caching before, to gain maximum numbers for all.Thanks to all the CO's for placing and maintaining caches in some stunning locations that we may not have visited had it not been for geocaching. I was grateful that most of this series had a reasonable pull off to safely park in.Signed in as SEAC to save logbook space unless stated for individual sign in's.TFTC.

We are in Dunedin for the Mega and this is day 3 of our trip. We planned to get numbers today so headed to the series down this way and then cached our way back to Dunedin. All logs signed with SEAC (South East Auckland Crew) {unless otherwise required in the cache} as there are 5 caching names in the group; stik-a-crane, unclesam, NZTravellers, Keylev and us. A lot of fun was had, lots of laugh and memories made with friends. TFTC

Here for the 2024 Mega with a group from Auckland. Sorry for the generic logs. Thank you to all the cache owners who placed the caches to support my addiction. Most logs signed as SEAC.

Day 3 of our mega trip and today was the day to hit the logging trail and some extras of course! After finishing those we wandered in the general direction of our home for the weekend, caching along here.Thanks for the cache. Signed SEAC (South East Auckland Crew)

Down south from Whangarei for a 10 day trip including the Dunedin Mega. Visited family in Invercargill for a few days before heading back up to Dunedin for the main event.A little bit drizzly as we headed Northwards today, but just had to stop for a few caches. After the nearby Virtual, stopped for a few gold trail ones as well, and met the same muggle bike riders at each of them...??. A nice quick find here. TFTC

Found - Mrs McMike2012 & I live full-time in our caravan travelling around NZ, visiting the places we want to visit & doing the things we want to do and fitting in a bit of Geocaching here & there we were staying in Balclutha we had decided that we would go for a geocaching road-trip today we had parked in Milton by Taylor Parked & as the weather was great & Mrs McMike2012 wanted to get some steps we decided to go for a walk these three caches were all easily found, log-books signed & the caches replaced as originally found were pleased to add a couple more 'smiley faces' to the tally TFTC ... TN:LN:LS this was #6,233 for us!

Time to get a few of these caches. Nice walk to it as the road started to get busier.

On our bikes again for our last day, from Lawrence to Waihola.Zipping along with a tail wind. Making quick easy finds of these hides. Thanks for placing these on the trail. Although the trail was supposed to be finished last year it was only finally completed this week with the last three bridges put in place at what appears to be great expense.TFTC

Tftc a short walk on our way to Dunedin

Found easily- TFTC

Collecting some more local caches today. Walking the cycle trail. Nearly got snuck up on by a speedy dog-walker as I was about to make my move, I loitered as they approached, pretending to be doing something important on my phone, we exchanged pleasantries and she and pooch powered along on their way, leaving me to do my thing. Tftc.

Greetings from the Czech Republic and Thanks For This Cache.

Cool

Another on our way home.

Kia ora for the cache.

All good except a few names missing in logbook

No trouble at finding this one expect the rain

No trouble finding this one. Started checking on the one south of here and decide to give it a miss as I was a little time poor. All good here. Thanks.

I had a little bit of time before my flight home this morning so headed down to Milton. I enjoyed a short stroll along the trail. Didn’t get too wet despite the deteriorating weather.

A quick easy find on a pleasant walk, although the passing traffic was very noisy. TFTC

One last cache after a great day of caching.

Hint certainly made it quick! Thanks.

Nice find on the new trail.

A beautiful Sunday afternoon and we were in need of a distraction from the woes of life. Milton had a collection of caches and, owning an EV we decided we could afford the trip from Mosgiel.

Parked the car at West Road and walked down the cycle/walkway towards Milton picking up caches as we went.

TFTC

Find count: 2465

I went for a walk along the track to collect these few caches. I may one day bike it! A nice quick find thanks.

Ms_KR and I are on a wee South Island break. A day collecting airport puzzles and other caches we passed on the way from Dunedin to Kaitangata. A glorious day for caching!

Oh and some of my earlier caches today might have yesterdays date on them

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

The second find at this stop on the trip today. TFTC [^]

Quick find. TFTC

A quick find on my tour of the area. Tftc Natalie.

Have biked this before, but good excuse to walk today and pick up the caches along the way. TFTC

I wonder when they are planning to finish off this trail? It's disappointing that they haven’t even finished the trail as far as they have gone (no bridges, or closed off bridges) so you can’t even go for a ride from Milton.  TFTC.

Heading though for another couple of days with the grandchildren. And yah some new caches since my last trip. Enjoyed the stretch and quick finds this evening as I headed north. Thanks for the cache Natalie247

Quickly found in the dark with indiboo.
Thanks for the cache, Natalie247
