Pleasant little stroll down to a fishing spot on the waterline at Otago Bay. Easy find (with the hint, thank you) and great camouflaged container .. thanks BudgieTas.

During the week Trimbletas and i made the decision that we would target some of the caches around the New Norfolk and Geilston Bay area. we planned to go up over the Highland lakes to Hamilton, then down to New Norfolk then over to Geilston Bay. Up bright and early we left the NorthWest at 6.00am as we approached the top of lakes highway we were greeted with around 4 inches of snow on the road, so it was into 4x4 and steadily along until we dropped down onto lake level. we detoured to grab the Bridge over Ouse cache then it was off to Hamilton.
We did a maintenance check of my caches along the way and they were all in great order still.
Arriving in Hamilton we snapped a photo of the trig then headed for New Norfolk where we took a short walk to the trig there, it was then onto the Battleship GeoArt series.
while completing the Battleship caches we were stopped by 4 different property owners concerned with what we were doing. we explained to them what were doing but they still seemed concerned. there was a few caches where we couldnt get off the road and cars came up behind us while we were signing the logs, so we had to try and move the ute out of the way.
After completing the battleship series we made our way through Molesworth and into Berridale where we crossed the Derwent River and headed for Natone Hill.
We got the information for WPT 1 of the Multi and set off in a clockwise direction of the reserve to complete the Smile and Blockage GeoArts, we got as far round as the trigpoint when it started to pour down with rain we got drenched as we bunkered under a tree to wait out the rain, as the rain eased we grabbed the photo of the trig then off to complete the rest of the caches. we got the rest of the info required for the Multi cache but as it was back where we came from we decide to leave it for next time. We really enjoyed completing the Blockage and Smile Geoarts. Thank you SSR and Goose&Egg.
After getting back to the ute and trying to dry out we decide to go check out where the Circle Geoart starts, once there we decided that we would complete it next time as it was getting dark.
A quick drive around to Government hill where we walked up to grab the trigs where we were met by another concerned owner, explained we were there to get a photo of the trig and he was happy to see us on our way.
We then headed for food at Bridgewater before our long journey home.
we stopped to complete several caches along the way and arrived home at 9.30pm. A great day was had with nearly 100 caches attempted for the day. TFTC

Quick drive by to log this one on our way home from caching in the area. TFTC

Heading today from Kempton to South Arm and we stopped to grab a few caches along the way. This was one of them and was quickly found once we found the easy access to the level we needed.
Love these stops where you get two for the price of one.
Great views and the Mona boat went past while we were here.
Don't know if we'll get a chance to do angle 2 while down here as we have only got a couple of days and the main aim is to cache the South Arm.
Thanks.

Hello Budgietas Thank you for the cache.

Today was a nice sunny day, but by the time I finished work and got out to your cache it was raining and cold.

It was nice to finally get this one off my list.

Found on Friday 7 August at 1715

the first GCA I have found in a long time, it's nice to be out again
thanks for the cache

First real GCA cache in months. Good to be able to get back into it!

Hi Budge
Usual Sunday morning - boredom had set in - so another cache for the day became a priority
This cache was not a long walk as I had imagined for some unknown reason
Once at GZ, a quick find ensued
Sainted and re-hid the cache at 1105 hours
The views here are a lot better than the other Angle
Enjoyed this cache
TFTC and cheers

While on the eastern shore we made our way towards this hide. We'd encountered a few fishing muggles at a previous spot but today they were out in boats and out of sight of the hide. Luckily we had made our way to the shore and could easily access the hide. Suspect the approach from above would be a little more interesting. The container and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for this cache Budgietas. The view from this secluded area is lovely.

Nice to see some new traditionals published. Need a few for this weeks research task. FTF @ 2.15 pm. Lucky no fishermuggles today. They would have been blown away. A different day here after coming from Arm End where there was no wind. A great view of the Bowen Bridge. TFTC
