The puzzle was straightforward and I rounded down. The final location, at the end of a track, did not match the clue, but further along did. However, no cache was found. Oh well!
Dropped in TB who is hoping to see the world - arrived in NZ from the Uk via Dubai, Thailand, and Sydney so has travelled a few miles!
The puzzle was fairly easy with the clues. There were muggles at ground zero trying to take a photo of a fantail... so we walked up to the top of the track and waited for them to leave. Once they left we found the cache easily. TFTC
Enjoyed the puzzle. Didn't enjoy the retrieval of cache as much - got quite dirty. Lucky I didn't slip in all the mud as well.

This was a fun cache. We got the maths wrong to start with because we rounded when I think we should have truncated. A lovely little glade, but very wet after the rain. Swapped TB for GC. TFTC
Puzzle was a bit simpler than I first thought and it was just a matter of when I would be in the area or make the effort and do a special trip. Interesting walk to GZ in the dark and now I know what the clue meant.
Well worth a visit. Have walked up here before. Geocaches sense helped us find this one quickly. My son solved the puzzle for us but not sure he got it exactly right. I think he may have got carried away with the maths. Left a little sheep.
What a lovely little glade we never new existed and so close to home. We were evidently thinking too deeply about the puzzle and glad to have seen the light ! Swapped some of the nik-naks. TFTC.
Wow, you put a lot of effort into that puzzle picture. Still not sure what the barcode means, anyone else know? Nice hiding spot, in interesting area.
It all turned out to be much easier than I had feared! Thanks for the fun cache.
Hi! My first puzzle cache, although the puzzles themselves were a mystery to me. The name of the cache and the clue were enough to find this. Thanks!
Found it. I live within 300m of this place, but never knew this was here. I need to get out more. TFTC.
The Bo&Bronnie collaboration usually consists of Bo venturing forth, GPS in hand to collect a first to find. Sometimes, however, Bo needs just a teensy bit of help especially with the puzzles. Thankfully Bronnie does read - a lot! - and can use Google with ease. Despite getting the final coordinates incorrect (decimal points perhaps?), leaving us up the hill at another site with a pontus, with a bit of lateral thinking Bronnie lead the charge to this wonderful wee hideaway. TFTC - and all the fish!
A great place, extremely improbable I would have discovered it with out checking out this cache.

This time we were more fortunate...helped having a more sensitive gps. Cheers TFTC 200th find!!

Ow, poor brain! A nice wee walk with the kids, would've been easier to drive there in a Ford Prefect. TFTC, TNLN.
Good wee puzzle but something I have thought about and concurred with many a time in the past. Great spot for the hide, I had no idea that it existed but must of driven past it many times.
Thanks for the fun.
Thanks for the fun.
Travel through the dimensions, brain matter awakens to attention; When GPS stops acting crazy, where on earth would I rather be? Truly amazing place,to rest, & to enjoy the space!
Took the geo-coin. Today the GPS was spot on. The young leaves falling after all the wind, felt like lime green snow. Really beautiful.

Puzzle wasn't too difficult. Had to wait until we were next in Christchurch. A nice walkway - a bit wet and muddy but the cache and its contents were safe and dry. TFTC.

Solved this puzzle months and months ago - one of very few that we have looked at the page and actually known what it meant!!! Finally got to the right part of town. Is finding a place to park part of the challenge!!!??? LOL

Thanks for pointing out my mistake with the puzzle - it made the find much easier - we would have probably got there with the good clue. A bonus for us on this cache was meeting some people walking a Golden Retriever which the whole family stopped to pat (we had to put both of ours down a few weeks ago) so it was nice to see this one. Thanks for the cache, great spot for it and the puzzle enjoyed them both. +geocoin
#251 (5/7 in a sweep through Southern Chch). Found with Troodles (who solved the puzzle). Easy find on a chilly afternoon post Saturday's snow fall.

Would not have got this far without a nudge or two from Lytteltonwitch. My final coordinates were spot on for our last find of the morning. TFTC Took TBs left a new pencil as there was none in cache.
It's a while since our last cache, but we finally got around to it (and even brought out towels), and we got a round Tuit! What a lovely part of the city.
Left Free the Cache geocoin, took a round tuit.

I solved the puzzle quite a while ago and this was the first time that I have managed to get over this side of town. The cache was in a part of the city that I did not know existed. It seemed to be very popular today as muggles went back and forth. + The Key to the Hunt #2 (On your marks Grandalf, get set, gooooooooo).
Solved back in Auckland. That hill is a good warmup for a lot of biking this week.

Christchurch has a few of these little hiden glades. Realy well hidden no need for a towel tday except to cover exposed skin from blood sucking micro.s
After blasting our gargles, it was so long and thanks for all the fish....
Did a diabetic swap - one in and one out.

Damn, how could I come out caching without my towel. You never know when you might need it. Nice easy puzzle and find. Lovely shady walkway! Cheers Gav [1756]
Solved the puzzle before we set off from the UK, so we were pleased to have the chance to come and find the cache today. No one about, so we had an easy search and found the cache to be well hidden away. Took the Keys to the Kingdom and Skarloey TBs to move on and dropped off NPIFM's Kentucky Geocoin. SL. TFTC.
Also logging in and out our England Geocoin.

Solved it a while ago, so picked it up when driving past today. I had obviously got F wrong (my rounding I think) and once that was changed it lead me straight to it. Took Micro Kong and dropped of Skarloey. Thanks.
What a neat cache! A fun puzzle, which I solved weeks ago, but have only just got around to visiting. It was a real experience in the dead of night too - very spooky. I'd got to the stage of thinking that I'd been to just about every place in Chch worth visiting, by doing caches - thanks for proving me wrong.
I would however agree with Grandalf about the numbers - It's not clear whether 'F' should be the result of a truncation or a rounding. Google earth answered that pretty quickly though.
-Coin TB. Thanks.

1749. The first time I had managed to get Rodney to look at the puzzle on the computer was this morning after telling him about it a number of times and him showing little interest. So it was good to see his reaction as he straight away said "I know that". It only took a little research and a calculator and we were on our way. The coordinates took us right to the cache so that part of the hunt was quick and easy. We were delighted to be shown a spot that we never knew existed so thank you very much.
We left 2 Travel Bugs - Birthday Bug Coin Collector and Micro King - both of which we were moving on from our 'What is Charles Worth?' cache, as they had been there too long.
Thanks
Iris & Rodney

After solving the puzzle used the trusty towel to wipe the sweat of my forehead. Don't quite understand why we also where about 140m out at GZ from the cache. Perhaps the coordinates where taken with the wrong datum?? Any way what an interesting area.
Went and found this with Ridders76. Am a big fan of H2G2 in all its incarnations so was very pleased to participate in the cache version!
When I first saw this one come up I figured it was Infinitely improbable that I would be able to work the puzzle out and fired it into the too hard basket I did have another look at it a few days later and thought"Hang on, that is a bit familiar" Did a quick check with the cache owner and I was off. On the way to the cache site I bumped into a couple of white mice and an old man with a white beard muttering somthing about Fiords[?] How odd!
Great cache, thanks
S.T.

This looked like it was going to be harder than it was, but after thinking deeply for a while the answer was there, and the second part was positively brilliant. Though the final coords did depend on how many significant figures.
Anyway, it was an enjoyable puzzle, and a pleasant jaunt out on a sunny afternoon. No swaps, thanks and cheers from Grandalf(950)

As stated we solved this on Saturday morning at 8am. Given we said we were coming to get it we thought we better put our legs in motion. Left Greymouth at 9:30am and headed to Ashburton via Lake Coleridge. 23 caches and an overnight stay later we turned up here Our co-ords were a good 100m out but knew we were in the right spot so continued around till it was found. Thought we were going to be FTF in the end but alas Lytteltonwitch had beaten us to the glory. A nice puzzle to solve and have off the list so quickly. Left Look Mum - No Paper! geocoin. Thanks for the puzzle.
We have solved the cache and will be coming to collect soon. We need to cross the island first. We think we may be beaten by a grander alf
With a little bit of help from my friend Doug I quickly solved the puzzle.I did manage to stuff up a number which meant I was 136 metres away from the cache which had me going Duh as it was a silly mistake.I left a squirrel soft toy that I had taken from Canterbury Tales last week and a spider paperweight as I couldn't resist the TB.Do I need to mention that I was first to find
Solved without clues. Just too easy for a nerd like me In the file to knock off when we're down that way.
