We are planning on heading back here soon, wondering can owner go and check sometime if possible as to help others not go and waste time.. Many thanks

Went to visit today. It has been muggled. Will look for a new site.

Searched high and low but couldnt locate anything...

Daddy Brogan and eagle eye Mini Brogan hunted for a good 45 mins here between wandering mugglers.. Did not find a cache and am pretty sure this has been muggled since found a couple of the moisture absorbing sachets on the ground near the cache site. Will keep this on my watch list to see if I am blind or gets fixed and will head back to finish it off..

It was a quick grab on our way back from the two caches. Nice bay and hardly anyone around.

Went looking at a Bach over this way today. Last time we were here it was wet and a car was parked at the GZ (they were still there after 30 mins). A quick find in the end on a hot Sunday afternoon. The Mr C found this one. TNLN, TFLC.

Found after a wee hunt.Lots of neat hidey holes here.Left an orange Octopus.Put it back while muggles with their backs to us, were collecting shells.TFTC

Another lucky cache made with just a waypoint and no other info.

Lots of muggles out today, found our first TB prestolock, we are going to send him up hill tomorrow. The kids enjoyed this one thanks.

A straightforward find. Mrs W.E.K.A. collected a bag of shells from the beach for the little Misses nzcoozer. TFTC

Easy enough find. No help from the local "Shelly" though. Log book still a bit damp but gel sachets seemed dry still. TFTC.

Found the cache easily and then Dilly Dallyed for a while on the beach and enjoyed the sun. TFTC Added some more silica gel pads as the log was a bit damp.

Struggled with this one, but found it in the end. Great hide in a great location.

It wasn't hot that's for sure! But we got it! And we got lots of shells for work (preschool) too This was the 3rd for the day, and the 133rd ever

Cold wet day and therefore ideal to be caching since no muggles about. KiwiPrincess spotted this one. Cheers!

There was no dilly dallying at this cache today with the car outside air temperature gauge showing 4 degrees C. Brrrrrrrrr. T4TC.

I enjoyed living at Diamond Harbour until moving away in1962.
Before then did lots of Sea Scout sailing, rowing, and camping around the area at Ripa Is, Camp Bay, Purau, Port Levy etc. It is good to get back for visits now and again. Thanks for the cache.

First find on a long ard ride from Diamond Harbour to Akaroa via Port Levy, Pigeon Bay and the Summit road.
Picked up running Elephant TB.

nice little cache in a lovely wee bay.

Was spitting with a cold southerly rain while I was there, but held off for me to find the cache.

took the soft toy penguin
left a purple dinosour

Also left a Running Elephant TB

Tried out Kalena67's new iPhone to find this one. Great toy for geocaching!
'Joy of Reading' Travel bug had gone but has not yet been logged. I hope it makes it to the book fair in Christchurch in time.

Easy find today with help of iPhone geocaching app. Wasn't particularly well hidden so camo'd a bit better. Took golf ball and left *Joy of Reading* tracking bug TFTC

Quick grab.

Thanks Bitsprayer

TFTC! Markus + Jana

A quick find today after an aborted attempt earlier in the week due to muggles.

I needed a little distraction from Mrs B to be able to extract this cache from its hidy hole as there were a few muggles laying all over the beach, The mission was succesfull... Cheers Bo

Tried approaching tis one from the sea, but rather exposed to muggles.
Paddled down the beach, and approached from the road side. Easy find by Mrs S.t. We hid it a little better.
Cheers and thanks,
S.t.

NIce easy wander along beach and took a few snaps while waiting for muggles to pass but, ended up a easy find.

A couple of muggles on the beach, but quickly found the cache. Cheers Gav [2800]

What a neat place. Lots of pretty seashells to look at and the view wasn't bad either : )

A quick find on way back from Camp Bay. Left geocoin Irish Blessings

A very quick find on a beautiful day. There were children kayaking nearby.

An easy find while my daughter found all manner of living things at the water's edge.

Had to wait for a Muggle with a dog to leave first but then a quick find.

Nice view of the beach! Stay at the camping place for the night.

Hey thanks for this cache, what an awesome spot!!! the sun had just come out for me as I wandered down to the cache, thanks for getting me out of the city, cheers.

Nice easy drive by, cheers.

2038. Our first find of the day as we drove around the peninsula. This was a lovely quiet, sunny spot this morning and we were able to retrieve the cache quickly and easily.
We took the beautiful geocoin with us and left a travel bug.

Thanks
Iris & Rodney

Easy find but then the beach got populated and it took a while to replace it. Nice spot.

We were really glad to be here and finally starting on the 'holiday' part of our trip. Loved it over here. Picked up the Geocoin that wants to go home to Canada and dropped off Geocacher's Day Geocoin. TFTC

Quick find of this sneaky wee cache this afternoon. There's a cool geo-coin/badgey thing in here waiting to be re-located.

A lovely little spot. TNLN

My first NZ cache!
Breezy, beautiful day.

Decision time - was it to be north or was it to be east? Aha - the northern virgin has fallen, so eastward it is. I was wanting to visit Port Levy, so why not stop off on the way (10:45am). The sea was calm, the air was warm - but we didn't swim, even though others were. The cache was well hidden, which is what is needed on such a popular beach - but cachers have different eyes and will find it easily enough. So another FTF comes my way - how nice!! Took nothing, but left a lovely Canada geocoin. Thanks Buckoboys and cheers from Grandalf(1053)
