By Slow n Steady on 13-Nov-07. Waypoint GC1738R

Found with Alan and BDCBean. Dropped kootjie emmer TB. TFTC TN SL

I started bush bashing, but after being impaled by the ever present blackberry, took the more sensible route and it was an easy find.

Good puzzle, nice bike in the forest. TFTC

Which post? Oh, THAT post. Nearly gave up but suddenly thought like a geocacher and found the prize. TFTC

Last stop of the day. Puzzle was solved without a worry and the coords took us to a like spot. Checked the hint and spent a while looking around without success. Bother!

There has been some clearing in the area. Perhaps it was muggled??

So long since I solved the coords, relieved they were correct! Kool Kache! #493 3/5

I solved this puzzle so long ago I couldn't remember how I did it! Co-ords were spot on.

Puzzle took a couple of hours to solve. Found while at Spencer Park over Waitangi weekend.
Thank you. David.

Love it! I have a new obsession (post sudoku)! Easy find once coordinates in hand.

An easy puzzle and an easy find, after a bit of walking.
Thanks.

The algebra wasn't too difficult, and the cache was easily found. The fourth of a circuit of 6 caches in Bottle Lake Forest, with nzcoozer and a pushchair and the two little nzcoozers. Not easy going on some of those tracks. TFTC

Quick find. Enjoyed the puzzle.

A brilliant day out today at the park. Did the last of the caches for the mega.

90th Anniversary of the end of a Krazy episode in history.

Enjoying my ride in the area today and pleased to get confirmation of the puzzle by finding the cache.
Many thanks.

After wandering the forest aimlessly with mrboss looking for that handy tree (the invisible handy tree), we were close to this one so took the slight detour and collected it. A lot of work going on here with tree fellers (or were there four.....[:d]). The log was still damp, so we manged to dig up a large silica bag from our pack and leave that in the log bag. Another piece of the puzzle - only a few left now... TFTC, TNLN.

Walking with rchdlyn, sniffed this one out pretty quickly. Had help with the puzzle, of course. A nice day for the wander. Enjoyed the pools nearby, suited me on a warm afternoon. Woof.

i was unable to work out the clue to get the right co-ordinates am struggling to find this one

Dropped by in passing to show the cache to a young friend who is just starting to geocache(and have a breather on a long bike ride). The cache is very wet - about 1cm of water in the container. Dried as best we could but we didn't have any dry bags. Left it upright and sealed as best as we could. Cheers.

Headed into the forest to see what I could find. Found this one without the correct coords as I had neglected to update them after solving the puzzle. Found with the help of the clue and a X marking the spot on my map. TFTC TNLN

Once we fiqured out the puzzle it was smooth going.

Cache was very wet, poured the water out, but luckly the plastic bag had kept the book partially dry, just damp. Dropped off some gel packs.

Finally had a minute to go look this one up, I did the puzzle a few weeks back and the coordinates had been staring at me since. Thanks for the puzzle. Took puzzle Left Nothing. My first piece of the MEGA.

Finally got my GPSr to work in the trees! And then the battle was won, an easy find followed. TFTP

Yeah you could've. Personally, I've no idea how the previous cacher managed to do it in Excel, and I'm theoretically supposed to be an expert in Excel! LOL

I don't know me nuthin' 'bout no matrix algebra stuff, but I did manage to find me a cache!

3rd in list ...

Found cache itself, but to be honest, One-Fang did the puzzle. Not sure I could have.

2/12 Went back to camp after "Ask the Heavens", got Nofs junior patched up after her fall, changed the toilet paper for 4000 campers and escaped into the forest again. Great afternoon for it - found fairly quickly. Thanks.

Great application for matrix algebra. Solved quickly with Excel. T4TC - M@

Interesting little puzzle to solve. I have never seen a Kjarosko before. 6/12 of mega. TFTC

#120, #4/12 for Bottle Lake MEGA. With a bit of thought, puzzle came out pretty easily. Find was straightforward.

This one had me scratching my head! +2 craps dice & -sun keyring and jigsaw puzzle piece

Finally found one for the day.

A lone girl on an uncontrollable horse was the only muggle in sight. Well I certainly had never heard of those puzzles. Hurrah for the web. TNLN

A nice solution by GSV just as I was about to crank out the matrix again! Cheers Gav [1714]

Evil puzzle, quick find! TFTC,
Cheers,

Goodness, after the Gilligans challenge at breakfast, Long-John was stretched! Haven't seen this puzzle before but we enjoyed it. Had a couple of go's before it came out. This was number seven of a lovely day out on the bikes. TFTC TNLN SL Long-John

Solved at midnight - never give up a good puzzle for trivial things like sleep. First time we had seen a puzzle like it so enjoyed the mental challenge. No swaps, TFTC.

Time for another of our party to lay first hand on the cache but I was close by. Great hide. TFTC, no swaps.

Co-ords worked out beautifully.

Solved the puzzle a while ago and got to the cache today while doing others in the series.

Never done one of these before. Thanks.

Worked out the puzzle solution before leaving the UK to come here touring on holiday, so pleased to be able to take a stroll in the forest and find it this evening. SL. TFTC.

Also logging in and out our England Geocoin.

Enjoyed solving this puzzle, have never seen this type before. In the end we took a strategic approach and it paid off within minutes. Maybe some of that was pure luck. Cache had us searching for a bit and we were worried that our success rate was about to go downhill. After back tracking a tad the spot revealed itself. 6/6 TFTC

An interesting little puzzle - used the old high school equations, and out popped the answer. No.4 of the 12. No swaps, thanks and cheers from Grandalf(972)

Another one bites the dust.. Fantastic evening MTB ride in the Forest. TFTC

It took quiet a while to get this one sorted and went and checked it out today,,I was right,,yay,,thanks

MTB'd to the cache at 1215pm.

Day 1 Cache 3. With careful preparation another easy find!

1770. That was an interesting little puzzle and fun to do. The coordinates were accurate and again it was a carefully hidden cache. This was cache find number 5 on a what is becoming a tiring day!
We took the geocoin with us.

Thanks
Iris & Rodney

An easy find once the puzzle was solved. Just out doing a few caches on the mountain bike.

Ahh, I thought I'd have a FTF here again, but someone's being sneaky. Actually, a few people have been sneaky so far and not logged online ) Interesting puzzle to solve, but the co-ords led me straight there. Thanks.

Who needs a GPS when you have Google Earth

Sneaky? Me? Yup!
Sorry. It was a cold and windy night - and silly me thought that I might get all 12 that day. That was before I realised my PDA had crashed. TNLN - thanks.
