By KEW92 on 20-Aug-22. Waypoint GC9YK40

Had a quick look around the park and its contents but no luck this time

Headed up here to grab some of the caches around the roads off the main highway, a nice quick find here, cheers

There ya go.... i have driven past this 5 times no and i had no idea it existed so thank you very much for making me take the time to discover the piece.

Nice little spot, and the cache was a quick find! TFTC!!

#23778. Last cache of a most enjoyable day out with the BaldEd team and Troodles. My trusty walking pole located the cache under leaves. We thought the cache would be more secure wedged on top of the ledge, so put it back there. TFTC.

Found with StreetWalkerNZ and BaldEd after an enjoyable days outing to Lake Taylor.The cache was not hidden as expected, so we left it slightly higher, on a "shelf" in case water comes through here. Not sure if that is the way it was originally hidden? Last cache find of the day. TFTC.

Out on a Hurunui cache raid with Troodles and StreetwalkerNZ. Having driven directly to Lake Taylor before starting caching that made this cache the last to be attempted today. It was nice to end the day with another find and made my tally for the day being "11 caches attempted, 11 caches found". TFTC KEW92.

The dancing dinosaur was a fun surprise, kids had fun, left all for the next finder

Cant find it.

Quick trip ip to the Nelson area, with a wee bit of caching in between, many thanks for the caches . - Bitsprayer

A nice quick find here. Love the sculpture. TFTC.

I have parked my snail shell up at an old camp ground on Lake Sumner Rd. I then jumped into the cachemobile to locate and sign off a few caches around Hawarden and Hurunui.A cute little park. The cache was peeking out so after signing I tucked it back out of view.Cheers for the cache, KEW92.

I wasn't expecting to get this so quick with a busy camp ground near by. TFTC

Thank you

On our way up to Lake Taylor. Nice wee spot. TFTC

Easy find, Didn't realise I could go around the world with one cache, Should have come here 10 years ago.TFTC

Just passing through on our way to somewhere we can stay the night. Not much going on in this little town. The boys thought there was something special in this reserve picking up on my burst of pleasure at seeing the world. Silly boys. Found the cache no problem. TFTC.

Quite a few signed the log today. I haven't been here for nearly 20 years! I used to work at the high school a few days each term back then. Seems a long time ago. Cache was a quick find. Quite a bit of swag in it. Thanks for the hide, KEW92.#9980

Little search. Dry and safe
Logged an returned

A little detour from the main road and a very peaceful Hamlet. Such a tiny reserve and so well kept. A fav from us because of the best ever hint!!! As a lover of A.A. Milne, his stories and poems, this was a super quote!! Thank you.

Well that is an unexpected feature in here - quite neat really. Thanks for pointing it out KEW92 TFTC # 18,824

Nice quick find here. Took the TB, thanks KEW92

#12807

Quick find. I went to the nearby school when I was younger so brought back memories of the area

Had a lovely afternoon at the nearby Flaxmere Gardens. The globe is slowly being swallowed by the trees.

A quick find whilst I had some breakfast and waited for the 4 square to open. TFTC

A nice quick find. The globe was a wee bit out of proportion, but looked good. Thanks for placing your cache.

Ms_KR and I went for a wee drive up to Hanmer Springs, for a soak, and a cache, and a walk. We got lucky as the rain was only intermittant and not heavy at all, and all caches looked for found.

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

A sweet wee spot even tho the sharing shed was empty and it was a bit tepid for a picnic. Slightly creative geography on the globe; loved it! Evidently the stuff that I thought was just clover, has the wonderful name of spotted medick. Thanks KEW92.

After finding the boot cache it was on to this fella. The noisy muggle dogs over the road made it difficult to go unnoticed. Lovely little reserve. Tftc

Yes, nice find, even though the globe is not quite correct

So nice to find a cache in a good condition. A quaint little township and reserve. We stayed at the memorial park last night and woke this morning to an invigorating 5 degrees. Is north islanders aren’t so used these sorts of temps. A lovely wee spot. Thanks.

A great excuse to stroll around the village

A park and grab without too much walking. Great to find a new crisp log in a well-set-up cache; TFTC

FTF Noticed that it was still waiting for a FTF so decided to go for a drive. Not a day for a picnic in the park but we enjoyed a wander around. TFTC
