Was out with Pokernet to find a cache on International Geocaching Day. Parked by the interesting playground and MMXVIII building and wandering down the walkway. Found quickly. TFTC
End of the wander this morning, still a lovely Canterbury day. Caches all good, thanks for the placement. Cheers
In the area with GeoHubby (GNARwhal) chasing down a FTF, which we were successful. A good opportunity to get a few other smileys around the area, this being one. This one gave us a laugh. "It's on the other side" says GeoHubby. "But there's no apple trees over there" says me
Last cache for today had us a bit confused as we thought in was hanging in an apple tree but then we noticed the place the hint was referring to tftcsl
Day two of the short trip away with tmann421 hunting out some caches.The weather turned it on for us today with a wonderfully sunny day.Signed all logs tm/ww NZLog fullThanks to all cache owners for the efforts of placing and maintaining these caches.
Down in the Christchurch area with woolwood9. Day 2, Driving around southern areas - a very nice day out.SL *tm/ww NZ**Thank you for the reason to visit this cache and location* Good new subdivision.
StreetWalkerNZ was doing the navigating, and directed me to a dead end street which necessitated a 100m walk to GZ. No great hardship as it was such a mild morning.
I managed to upset a dog in a nearby house as I tried to take a shortcut right by his fence - he let me know that he did not approve and gave me a hell of a fright in the process. Took the hint and retreated to carry on the path.
Another full log book, but it was dry so able to sign in a (hopefully) blank bit - I didn't have my glasses on. Thanks for this nice series of caches. We'll be back to look for the rest another day. TFTC.

#22884. We parked about 100m from GZ on the other side of a stream, and enjoyed the walk to GZ (very mild for July). Quick find by Troodles once there. TFTC.
After work I took a small detour home so I could go geocaching. It's actually my second detour. I didn't find the first hide I looked for.
I decided to go for this one as it looked like a simpler hide.
Thanks for hiding this cache albijos,Harisree I appreciate it.

Well I made that look much harder than it needed to be. Hint for future finders: when reading the hint for the cache *read the whole hint* don't just glance at it. Leaving the last word off has you hunting in completely the wrong spot.
Once I saw what I walked right past I discovered the coords were spot on, not 13m out, and I quickly had the (full) log in hand. I squeezed my initial in a gap but this log really is full.
TFTC albijos,Harisree
Find number 5023
(Logs signed Rincewind3 or R3 if saving space. Occasionally signed BRN if caching as a team with *B*o&bronnie, *R*incewind3 and *N*otManlyJack)

I had some things to attend to in Rolleston today so after that was sorted, I went to find a few caches in and around the area. This was the first one I came to. Found after short search. TFTC, Biggles.
My big bro, BaldEd, decided to drive to where I had parked my snail shell, Weedons, to cyclocache some of Rolleston's caches.
Some of these names would roll easily off some people's tongues. We gave it a good go.
Cheers for the cache.

Went out cyclocaching with Tufty. After DNFing the first cache we attempted we moved across the railway line to seek out all the temple caches. After finding our first temple cache this proved to be a quick find. [^] All the logs proved to be very full and the CO iwould be best now to go out and replace all the log papers. TFTC albijos,Harisee.
Haha could not get this until the very end!!! Found as per the rather complex hint! TFTC
A nice quick find. Thanks for placing your cache.
Ms_KR and I went for a wee drive to Rolly for dinner. Ms_KR had a dot day, so this was a convenient place to make a find.
Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Just one stop today as we're on our way to dinner with daughter nearby. Another Palace for me to Google. Evidently there's a clock there, that's still keeping time at 300 years old. Lovely blossom on the trees so I looked there while KR went straight to GZ. Thanks albijos, Harisree.
A series of quick find finds in new areas of Rolleston. Some are so new they aren't on the maps of my gps.
Thank goodness this pocket of town was on my map. I reckon I would have got lost otherwise and never been able to escape Rolleston.

By now we knew where to look so took quite a short amount of time. Once again enjoyed the cultural heads up and look forward to the others. Thank you.
Excursion with downsouthinv while Abbykitt was at an event. Nice morning for walkies. Thanks for bringing me here.
A quick trip to the area for a few more caches and some unfinished bissness.

Beautiful area and a quick find. Number three of the morning

Having found several MM caches, we decided to travel back home along the motorway but stopped at Rolleston to get 4 of the new Indian temples and palaces caches first. An easy find. TFTC!
Last 3 haven't signed log. Maybe they don't know they are supposed to. This series is interesting. Not sure I will ever get to see these buildings in person but I am enjoying learning about them. Thank you.

We are going to meet Beeba in a few minutes and go geocaching around Rolleston but she is still doing the adventure lab cache here so we thought we would pick up a few of these new caches while we waiting for her.
