This one had me scratching my head. I've never seen a cache hidden quite like that. Thanks!
Got the required info and made the short walk to the quick find. I thought I might have the wrong coords at first but they were all good!
Certainly a unique AL. It didn't take me too long to figure it out luckily. Fav point for originality.
Fun little cache here! I've done some like it but it is always a treat. TFTC.

Nice quick one today. Looks like a nice bike trail you have running through town!
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.
There's the same challenge back home so I've already done the hard part. Today, I stopped by this cache and spotted it quickly enough.
Well this was a challenge to grab. Seemed like everyone and their dog were going to the bakery. Eventually I spotted between all the muggles. Will have to check qualifications.
My last cache in New Zealand before boarding a plane to Sydney. Thanks for the virtual!
The cache itself was a quick find right before I returned my rental car.The challenge I get to brag about my 20+ year old FTF that I found with two other cachers this last September (https://coord.info/GCGGGV). That one cache is sufficient enough for the challenge requirements.Thanks!
AS someone else said the sign at the school is missing but I eventually found the right info on google. At GZ my coords were a bit off but the cache was easy to spot. Thanks for the cache.
I struggled with the solution here as I thought my coords were off. Maybe they were but not far as I was within 30 feet. A nice but tricky multi!

Found after finding the final stage of a nearby virtual. Great views from up here. Thanks for the hike/cache.
Ducked through the fence and made the quick find. That is after hiking most of the way up the mountain ....
Stopped by this earthcache while working on the signs virtual! Neat geological feature exposed by the raod.
Worked my way through the AL and spotted the cache in an interesting beacon!
Not sure what the last finder is talking about but there definetly was a cache container. A nice multi that led to a quick enough find. Thanks!
Managed to figure out this multi after looking around for a while. The cache was found quickly after. Thanks for the multi.
Quick find after finding on just up the road! Thanks for the cache.
Collected the three light blue properties on my drive to Dunedin and then swung back up to the Christchurch Cathedral for my 4th. Interesting concept for a virtual! Thanks for setting this one up.
Stopped for this one as there was easy parking and I was driving by.
Solved quickly. Made my way to the final where I wasn't sure I had the right coords. Than I spotted the beacon and understood why it was here! Thanks for the cache.
Found this one much quicker than the last cache at the last sign. Thanks for the oldie!
Nice stop on my way down the mountain. These hills are calf-burners!
Made this one way harder than needed. Eventually I spotted this one. Thanks for the cache
I really enjoyed this virtual. Its a neat bit of history and some cool hiking as well. My favorite combination. The first three signs were easily accessible. I stopped for a little bit at the sign of the kiwi and had a mocha with ice cream in it while overlooking the city. Pretty cool vantage point for a cafe. Continued on. I had to go the long way because the road was closed past the 3rd sign. Eventually I make it to the parking in the valley for the 4th and final sign. This one proved to be the most challenging by far. I started up, following the trail through the sheep and cattle. Eventually I got to a gate that said private property, no tresspassing. Well, I saw the sign at the start of the trail that said the trail passes through private property so I went through that gate into the meadow. Slowly, I realized I wasn't actually on the trail but on the farmer's atv trail .... I didn't want to backtrack as I had gone quite a ways uphill so I kept going. That's when I realized wrong side of a very forested ravine. I stopped. Looking at sat imagery, I could see that I could probably just keep going uphill until the tree line and then cross the ravine, but it did look like that there would be some other smaller ravines I might have to cross. This turned out to be fine as the cattle had created a nice trail through these ravines. Eventually, after some very steep bits and crossing numerous fences, I meet back with the trail I was supposed to be on. Except at this point I'm almost at the pass. I make the final bit of the hike to the very windy pass and check out the final sign. Wow, that would be so cool to camp there. I almost want to come back just to sleep in this cabin. I took in the sights, found the other cache near the pass and then headed back down. Going down I actually followed the trail. I see where I went wrong, there was a point where the actual trail diverged from the farmer's atv trail and there was a gate. Oh well, it isn't lambing season so I don't think it really mattered. I did roll my ankle really bad as I was almost back to my car. I was limping a bit the next two days but as of today as long as I don't put a lot of pressure in a specifc angle it seems to be fine. Thanks a lot for the very memorable virtual!
What a pretty little church. Found on my way to the trailhead for packhorse hut!
Another quick virtual in Christchurch. Found at night! Thanks!

An interesting virtual. Stopped by this virtual while doing the larger virtual about all the signs! Cool nonetheless. Thanks!
Stopped by today! Saw another geocacher in the shot from 10 minutes ago:) he pulled around in his car and saw me waiting for the next interval! Then the CO came popped out too! Thanks for keeping this one running. I think this is the only Webcam in New Zealand!
