Armed with jandals and a chilly bin, a couple of Aussies headed across the ditch for a 3-week tiki tour, exploring the beauty of New Zealand.DAY 19: Exploring Christchurch.[OzHockeyChick](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=OzHockeyChick) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges//81657 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if she qualified for this challenge and she did.366 dates of 366 completed.Thanks for showing us this special place by placing this cache, Troodles tn koe~~
I signed the log today and will follow up with a found log once I meet the requirements or confirm that I have already done so. Thanks for this challenge as this and other challenge caches always add to my to do list which adds another interesting aspect of geocaching. Were also carrying out maintenance along the way on behalf of the CO replacing many damaged containers and logs which the CO was happy to supply and for which we are very grateful.
#22822 @1110In Christchurch for a day on the way to the Dunedin Mega. After doing some cache maintenance, I focused on challenges. Cache easily found. A dnf redeemed. TFTC.According to [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges//81657 "Project-GC Challenge Checker"), I qualified for this challenge with multi caches found on 366 days of the year (365 needed).
Touring around with Aussie geo friends for a few days in Christchurch and picking up a few solved puzzles and selected others on our to-do list.Do not qualify atm, but working towards qualifying soon.Thanks, Troodles, for this very hard challenge.
Tiz13 loves her challenges, so this afternoon, she set off to grab as many on her list as she could, including this one. Challenge accepted qualifying log to follow in due course.
Dunedin MegaSo nice to be back in NZ caching with friends. GrimRaider, Joolay and I are in NZ for the Dunedin mega event. It is great to be back to see more of this beautiful country. Qualification: I have checked Project-GC and qualify for this challenge. Thanks for hiding this cool Challenge Troodles
Have checked and I qualifyJoolay fulfills challenge Multi a Day 365 Challenge (GCAF4R4) according to https://project-gc.com/Challenges//81657Finally back in NZ and this time for a Mega. Starting in Christchurch before heading south. Lots to see and do with Kittykatch and Grimraider. Will be joining with others as the days go on.Thanks for getting me out and about Troodles
I signed the log today but alas I do not qualify.I've been working on this calendar for several years now but the closest Multi's from home are over 100km away. I have 19 blanks to fill. One to get this month and then 18 next year.Hopefully on 10 August 2025 I will be able to log a find for this cache and also one in the UK.Thanks for the Challenge Troodles.
We finished this challenge on the 18th October and knowing we had only one date to fill, logged a note on the 15 October.TFTC
Today was my last dot-day for this challenge. Project-GC confirms that I have 366 dates of 366 completed. I have found a multicache on leap day. I signed the log book and logged a Write Note on the 14th October. Thanks for providing the challenge but I'll now have to think of some new geocaching challenge to fill in my time.
We've been working on this challenge since late last year, and currently have only 1 gap, which we hope to complete later this week. The cache was a quick easy find, and has been signed in preparation. TFTC
As I most likely wouldn't be in Christchurch on my last day required to fulfill this Challenge (17 October 2024) I took the opportunity today to sign the logbook. A find log will be made on the 17th October.
Completed the challenge for all 366 days on 2 May, yay! When the challenges were published, I had about twice as many multi dot days than mystery dot day, but as luck had it, I still have one day remaining for the mystery challenge as on that last date I found myself in a place where earthcaches abound but no mysteries are hiding. So next year for that one - maybe? In any case, this challenge made me really get out of my comfort zone, and multis are my least favourite type. I have to say that I did enjoy them, although I can already see myself slipping into the old ways of leaving those last... The final location is interesting, and a bit too 'in', but managed to retrieve eventually. Thank you for a great challenge![Hinemoana](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=Hinemoana) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges//81657 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.366 dates of 366 completed.

A nice quick find, well quicker than finding 366 multis any way. My last cache needed to complete the challenge was on that auspicious day May the 4th, when we were driving from Napier to Masterton. Awesome. Not planned that way, I'm not that organised! Thanks for placing your cache. Ms_KR and I are home after another North Island tour, visiting family, art galleries and caches. Occassionally signed MK+KR on cache logs, and apologies for the generic logs.Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches.

I spent a lot of time last year working towards a challenge with the same requirements. Thankfully, I can also claim this challenge after I found it today. Thanks for the cache.
I'm in Christchurch for a few days for work so of course I have to get some geocaching in. I came down a day early so I could get a rental car for the day to target some specific caches in the surrounding area.Signed but I'm a long way off from qualifyingAll good here and TFTC.Signed at 25 February 2024 11:25 am

This particular cache has caused quite an increase in the number of multi's placed and found up and down the country. I had very few left to find but needed one on 20th December last year - the closest one to home was at St Arnaud but I had to have my work all into the system by 5.00pm that day and family was also arriving that day to stay for Christmas so in the end I had to flag going to find the multi. That date has been etched on my mind for a whole 365 days and I ensured I kept a close to home multi ever since. This year I found 2 just for good measure and today I am keen to sign the log off before I head home. I have completed 366 days of multis now. Happy New year to you both - hope its a great one. I have thoroughly enjoyed this challenge - have a favourite. TFTC # 20,757
24 months ago I was fairly sure this cache was going to be created and I had 100 dot days. Also had 50 mystery dot days. At the end of the year, 12 moths ago, I had filled on all the mystery dot days and reduced the multi to 50. This year, with a bit of planning and a few carefully timed trips out of town I was able to fill all the multi dot days in. I must say, any of these challenges that involve finding caches on certain days are so painful, it can be a bit all consuming.
Coordinates changed from:S 43 29.290 E 172 37.941Coordinates changed to:S 43 29.274 E 172 37.987Distance from original: 225.3 feet or 68.7 meters.Hopefully more secure.
Drat. Found the last multi I needed so decided to continue this way only to see the notes. Still had a look, just in case.
@1825In Christchurch for a few days before heading for Nelson for Christmas. Working remotely this week so not much time for caching. After work I headed out to find a few challenge caches. No sign of this cache.
This one I did not pre sign the log. Why? It's too well hidden to me. No rush here as I 'm looking at 5 to 7 year to complete this one. I have lots of multi caches in my local catchment but I own many of them. In the meantime I can read the logs in the hope that I can pick up a few hints. Thanks for this series.
When I signed off the the CO's other three Challenge caches I wondered if there was going to be a Daily Multi Challenge on the books so I started working towards it. It was going to take just on the year to complete. That would have meant that I would have qualified for this potential cache by the middle of last year.But then diaster struck I had to go into hospital to have a knee replaced and that meant I couldn't go caching to nearly two months. That, of course, meant that my qualifying date was put off for another year. DANG! But unknown to me the CO got Covid just at a critical time as well and couldn't publish the cache until a year later.So when this cache was finally published I was still in the North Island and wasn't due to be in Christchurch until today. So needless to say, the first thing I did, after parking the snail shell up at Weedons, was to jump into the cachemobile and drive to the GZ fully knowing that the FTF had already gone. Well done, StreetWalkerNZ.I just now have to find one on the 29th February next year to make it absolutely complete.Cheers for the cache, Troodles.
#23141 (FTF #259). The plan was to complete the multi-cache calendar in July 2022. We were running perilously low on multis towards the end. However, some trips out of town and a few new ones meant we were on track to finish in July 2022. Then a badly timed bout of COVID meant I was stuck with one gap in the calendar for over 12 months. No problems plugging the calendar hole in 2023 (funnily enough a lot of multis were published in that period). Thought I'd go out on the bike to see if could an FTF. Just as well I did as the cache was sitting on the ground (perhaps dislodged by recent gales). Phoned the CO to see where it should have been, and did my best to wedge it in tightly. TFTC.
