This cache is causing too many problems.

Pretty sure we got to the right second park but after lots of searching between me and the three stooges we had no luck.

Log book is wet

Started laughing when I turned onto the final street. Calculations for B were out but worked it out when I saw the park where the cache was.

I only counted three concrete poles???

Logbook is wet

TFTC.

In perfectly good condition. Added a second log sheet...

Mr B and Mr KE have been known to put on the odd performance especially when doing multi caches. However, we couldn't muck this one up. Found cache at calculated gz - what?! TFTC

Love the themed multi. Well done. Had to resort to smartphone for opera question as brain fade refused to spit up the answer nice one.

I visited your cache as part of a week-long self indulgent Geocaching trip from Nelson to Bluff and back again. I apologise for not leaving a completely personalised log, but I do want to thank you for the time, money and effort you put into placing your caches. Without people like you who place caches, there would be nothing for the rest of us to come and find. You are fantastic

This cache was found as part of the New Zealand MEGA 2012 Event trip.

I was always more of a West Side Story man, myself...

nice quick multi in my home town. nice final hide. tftc.

enjoyed the challenge

We enjoyed this multi that took us around a town we spent a few years in. Thanks

FTF 2012!!! Great multi - had a great time and completed it easily. TFTC

Kids had fun finding this.

Team effort with JessGem.

Nice cache on a cold dark night.

Got stuck with one of the questions but stayed with it and got it in the end. TFTC Cheers Bo

Had all the details right but took several visits to find it. TFTC

Well Done nice cache

Another brilliant Multi-cache. Also had not idea of D so decided to start guessing. First guess landed me in a suitable park TFTC.

Must have stuffed something up, this one had me in someones front yard. Oh well, next time. Cheers.

I really enjoy your multicaches. Well done.

Thanks for the cache, signed log

Thanks or the maintenance check - found where expected but then I had to get the bugger out! That proved painful needing an implement and the blood on the new logbook is mine!

Cache needs checking.

I'll need to check coords with owner. Arrived at a suitable park with a suitable example of the clue - but no cache.

Cache muggled - will replace with either a micro cannister or a camo film container.

Replaced.

Had trouble with D so had to leave it until we could find the answer. Will be back to find the cache.

Thanks for the cache

We had to be a bit creative, but we got there. TFTC

Found with Johnnygoescaching crew on our Timaru Adventure Day. TFTC!

Well overdue for a logging session - will have to get better at logging! TFTC
Found with Johnnygoescaching on trip to Timaru

TFTC, one of 41 caches on the johnnygoescaching trip to Timaru. Sorry for another cut and paste job (logging 48 caches today).

Needed help from terman8or and wikipediaTftc, one of 38 on our trip up from dunedin

Like many before us we were unable to answer question D, but with some intelligent deduction, were able to find the final without any delay. TFTC

A good find once we believed in the direction indicated by the GPS. TFTC

Quick find, needed txt for part of answer, TFTC

TFTC found on a trip to Timaru with babyfox54.

Didnt take to long to complete and bring up the cache

Many thanks for a fun multi…. Neighbouring muggles at the final eyed us suspiciously… but we think we foiled them with our decoy tactics, got mini YuGeo to run around creating lots of mayhem.

Well, this one was solved with a good bit of guesswork, use of GPS functions and lateral thinking, as we had no idea about D either!!! (Is the information actually there anywhere?)

Likewise found myself stumped on D but phoned home and my daughter had the answer pretty quickly. Somehow got the numbers all wrong with this one yesterday but fresh start today and it all worked out and I made a quick trip to the final before heading off for Oamaru.

Clever use of names on this one, many thanks.

The clues looked very straight-forward, except for D - but Google soon answered that, just in case it wasn't evident on site. That proved to be the case, but armed with the right info, I was soon marching up to the final cache location. Now, about middle-aged men walking alone into shrubbery, I've long ago come to terms with that. I don't care what people might think of me, having a thick enough skin, unless someone calls the boys in blue to arrest me. With any luck, I'd be long gone before they arrived!! Thanks and cheers from Grandalf(1418)

Well, this one had us scratching our heads. Two concrete poles (with different numbers) and no idea who the girl who visited Phontom's lair was. In the end a bit of local knowledge and a complete guess paid off. When we were 30m away we saw things fitting into place quite nicely.

Thanks.

Have known for many months the general location of this one - -and since it is only less than 1000m from our home, have been overlooking this one a bit.
Besides, it looks a bit "sus" for a middle-aged man to simply walk into a wee park and into the trees by himself.

So. this afternoon, both "The Lady and the Sir" - and Pippi (corgi) went together, for an easy find.

Dropped in our Geocaching Card.

Cheers

Tufty and I attempted to do this last night, in conjunction with a visit to the ‘A way with the Fairies cache’ (GC18NVZ), but were halted in proceeding any further due to the lack of any obvious answer to D at the published coordinates. Though we had worked out the latitude we didn’t have the longitude. Brain cell failure (I had seen the show in 1992) and darkness then caused us to return to base for the night. We pondered on a range of longitude possibilities and soon found a mostly likely one. A ‘phone a friend’ answer for D confirmed our choice of longitude. TNLN. Thanks for the cache.
P.S. Still mystified as to where the D answer can be found at the published cords.

BaldEd and I started this one last night until we could not find any reference to Question D. I texted one of my daughters for the correct answer. We came back this morning and soon had the cache in hand.
Cheers for the cache.

Had a head-scratching moment with D as well. I assume there may have once been a poster or similar at the nearby building? If so, it appears to be long gone. But never fear! An Internet capable cellphone and Google soon revealed the answer.

Counting kilometers!

Logic prevails!

No. 6 on my cachetour through Timaru together with Russellbande and waitaki999 after the "A Picnic in the Scenic" - Eventcache. TFTC!

Did this cache with Russellbande and Cyberlacrus.
Mucked up on the calculations and had it pointing to block with heaps of houses so went to the place it would likely to be and found it quickly, over a hundred metres from where my gps was pointing. TFTC

A quick find just on dusk - there was a wedding party at the park when we arrived to find the clues.

Still can't think what the answer to D is so took a calculated guess. Without any local knowledge it was a lucky guess we knew was going to be good when we noticed the .... name. TFTC

Didn't know the 1st park existed!!
Nice easy find of final.

Nice wee multi. + geocoin. Thanks!

Not a clue for D!! But the other info was more than enough and all worked beautifully, no trouble finding the box either. Thanks.

1788. Well we could sing the song - knew where the name should be - but it stumped at 9.30am. However we took a punt on what the coordinates should be and found the cache straight away. A clever use of the two places. Oh yes, that name - I just looked it up - of course!

Thanks
Iris & Rodney

A nice simple multi - Thanks for the cache.

Not all the answers appeared to be at the initial site. We took a punt on this one and came up trumps. More good luck than good management. TNLN

1066 found it. We had some trouble remembering girl's name but after a quick phone call was able to complete this. Never been to West End Park before.

In town for work and the day was over so off to find a cache or two. Had a very nice afternoon tea at the waypoint before heading off to find the cache. TNLN.

TFTC

TFTC TNLN

Had the right info this time quick find.

Thanks Bitsprayer

Easy find, place deserted. TFTC

After a very slow start to the morning we finally managed to rack up a find. Required a bit of an internet search to find the right answer, and after that we were in the right area. TFTC, TNLN.

Pulled up to do this one had a reado f the page got to Question 4 and went OH what the hell is that and drove on leaving it till another day.

A midnight find with rchdlyn, wondering what the heck Phantom of the Opera had to do wih anything.....but the last waypoint made it make sense.

Cheers,
Blarghster.

Hmmm. First read the listing. Swings, see saws, slides, picnic tables, phantom of the .... what? Yes, I used the "phone a friend" option. Not the best post midnight. Nice multi. T4TC. TNLN.

Had lunch at the start of this cache.
Boy was my navigating bad so I took over driving to get to the cache in the hope that hubby could read the map better than me, totaly lack of concentration, I kept directing him to the wrong park! Such is life.
After lunch boys watched some concrete being poured and of to the final.

Another FTF to Comradehunt! This is my 2nd FTF cache today! I couldn't believe my luck! Anyway great cache, thanks.
