Had the opportunity for a visit to Nelson for 2 days with Mrs Yeetrees as she was going to attend a embroidery workshop for 2 days, we decided that we would fly in late Friday night and stay the full weekend. Having booked this trip back in February we werent sure what the weather was going to be like but we decided that we would chance it. Managed to find accommodation at the Monaco Hotel & Resort as it was very central to where we wanted to be. Mrs Yeetrees decided that she would like to come caching in the end with me instead of attending the workshops as there wasnt anything to her liking.

After finding GC4KAYE - In A Tube Smile, this was the next cache that we had on our list of caches that we wanted to find today. The walk along this walkway / cycleway was starting to get a bit more busier as there was starting to be a few walkers and cyclist making their way pass as we were between caches.

Finally nearing GZ we soon realised that this cache was a little bit off the beaten track, making our way towards GZ through the long wet grass, thank goodness that it was not raining. Finally arriving near GZ, it only took a few seconds for Mrs Yeetrees to spot the w\very clever and well hidden cache, that hint was definitely very evilRazz.

Managed to retrieve and sign the logbook without any issues, then replaced it back as found. Thanks for placing another very well constructed cache here kiwi-nomad, really enjoyed it and gave it another favourite point, TFTC TNLNSL (12539)

Nicely done.
Left a signature token.
Picked up the two trackables - I see neither has spent much time in the North Island, I will drop them in Wellington in a few weeks.
 
29-Jul-17
Path empty as the sun is setting on this chilly winter afternoon. Having read the hint I was trying to spot the likely spot on approach, but walking past all hint items and still metres away from gz I had to change my thinking. Could it be? Haha yes it is! Swapped trackables. Much fun, thanks very much.

Over in Nelson visiting No. 1 daughter - and a quick walk along the path here while she is still in a Lecture back in town. The grass around here is very wet - so pleased I came prepared with spare shoes.
One of the reasons I am walking this trail was to find a big enough cache to place a couple of the TB's I brought back from Aussie.
A cool spot here - stopped and gazed at the view.

Found with capperz, richardinho.nz and jojo74, although capperz was a previous finder.

Earlier in the week capperz mentioned he was planning a trip to Nelson with richarinho.nz and joj74, and knowing I was home alone this weekend, asked if I wanted to tag along. Of course, I said yes and as gratitude for the invite, offered my wheels as transport. Everyone really knows that capperz' car is a gas guzzler and my fuel bill would probably be the same as a quarter share of his.

The plan of attack was to attend the Pirate Event in Blenheim, the head across the Hill and do a few caches around the airport before heading to the Nelson Pirate Event. Afterwards it was off to Rabbit Island to do the eastern end of that.
All up I got 30 caches today, which leaves me 15 off my 2000 milestone... woo hoo.

Depending on the space available logs were signed in full, or Cz, Rh, KM, and JJ or CRKJ. with Cz or C missing on those he had already found.

After attending BigglesNZ Pirate event at the Honest Lawyer (is that an oxymoron, a bit like Intelligence Officer in the Defence Force), we headed along this track which is a tribute to Kiwi-nomad's cache building skills. I already had a couple of these and capperz had a couple more, but richrdinho.nz and jojo74 only had one, so there was something for everyone.

It was the previous finder who pointed this imaginative hide out, although I don't think it would have taken the rest of us long to find it if he hadn't. Fortunately this was not one of the CO's trickier field puzzles, so it was not long before three new names were in the log.

Another good cache on what I will call the K-N highway, a quick find by Capperz although we were quick on his tail. TFTC K-N, FP from us.
Saturday was day one of a two day caching weekend in Nelson. Capperz has proposed the idea a few weeks back, and myself and Jojo signed in. Kiwimykl was also recruited and kindly supplied the transport, and a hit list of locations was compiled. For us it didn't really matter what we targeted as there is so much unchartered territory this side of the hill for us, but our collective aims were around the airport perimeter and the Nelson side of Rabbit Island with a few cycle-access favourite point hoovers in the middle. Just as well I had a few FPs in the bank. Before that though there was an event in Blenheim at a local cafe, then another for the same reason at the Honest Lawyer with the Nelson crew around lunch. All logs signed with variations on the theme of Jo, Ric, Km and Capperz, and thanks to all the COs, it was a great day

I was looking for a fairly quick find in between appointments today, I had worked out where this one was a couple of weeks ago when I was in the area, so I knew it would be a quick find. What I wasn't sure about was how wet the area would be today after the very wet weekend. No need to have worried as it was surprisingly dry compared with many of the grass areas I walked past on the way to GZ. Thanks for another good cache kiwi-nomad

Out for an early morning bike ride this morning. Stopped off to admire the view (and of course to get my daily cache). Initially in wrong place before zeroed in. Thanks for the cache.
 
05-Feb-17
A nice bike ride today. And a fun find at GZ. Cheers.

Exploring around Richmond, Stoke and Nelson. There are a few caches around here!!

Thanks to the CO's for the hides. Cheers.

Another nice hide as we head along this beautiful walkway. Have driven past parallel so many times and wondered what the caches would be like. Question answered!
mrs capperz has headed across the Cook Strait to visit our North Island family and I don't have enough leave to be able to go along too, stink. So, for this 3 day long weekend it's just me and (former) nightowl19 keeping up the Marlborough end of the deal. I decided a three prong attack would be the deal for this weekend; 'Nelson' (and surrounds) on Saturday, French Pass/Bulwer on Sunday and Northbank on Monday. And so it was. I managed a respectful 31 caches on the Saturday and headed over the hill at a decent time (much to miss 15's disgust) but we had a couple of nice walks in the Nelson sunshine and found some cool caches, including a mighty 6 Multi caches.

Day # 8 in New Zealand on a geocaching holiday-trip covering Thailand, Australia and finally my beloved NZ Big Grin.
I had so much looked forward to return to this beautiful country, and now I'm here again - awesome! SmileSmile
Today's rainy tour took me from Arthurs Pass to Nelson. Razz

The weather was more than sh...y throughout the major part of the trip .. Surprised
Rain, rain, rain [xx(] - and a road slip just 21kms out of Arthurs Pass [B)]. Road was closed for nearly an hour Twisted...
Needless to say, that most of the treasures that were waiting along the road had to remain undiscovered Red Face due to flooding Twisted, heavy cats and dogs-rain [B)]and general 'I am not gonna leave the car now' - feeling [B)] WinkRazz.
But finally - approaching Nelson - the weather cleared up, got better and the sun came out. Cool!. Big Grin

The day was a bit exhausting but ended up promising - rewarded with 16 finds and 'home ‘n dry' [^] Big Grin!

This smart one made me laugh out loud when I finally got the hint! Red FaceBig Grin [^]

Hey - WestCoast and Nelson- you have awesome caches [^] Big Grin!
A big thanks [:X] to all Owners involved [^] for hiding and maintaining Smile.
Cheers from Germany SmileSmile

After ages I get the chance to go back to New Zealand and geocaching have to be part of it. After cold wet irish weather was beautiful to have nice sunny warm day so I took a bike and went for cycling around the ocean. During the way there was a cache so I stopped and went for searching. Soon I spotted something and there it was. Thank you for the cache.

In: nothing
Out: nothing

I was cycling down the great taste trail this morning to find a few geocaches & to get some fresh air. this one was pretty easy to find. a lot of trees may have been planted recently, so it isn't the only trunk that may exist! The log book is really wet so I was just able to sign it in time. Find # 159

Found while on a winter holiday with LCBuilder and our two geodogs. We spent 3 weeks travelling down the east coast and then up the west coast, setting our tent up at a different campsite each night. We didn't have any real plan, just went where the caches took us Razz we saw a lot of awesome sights and will definitely have to come back one day as 3 weeks isn't really that long!
Finally made it to Sunny Nelson, definitely one of my favourite places.
