By waitaki999 on 12-Aug-08. Waypoint GC1F6F3

Missing, so make way for new cache.

Kakanui is turning into a black spot of dnfs. definitely in the right place but no luck today

Needs Checked

Needs some TLC but a fun puzzle to solve. TFTC!

Completed the puzzle today, TFTC

I spent an enjoyable four weeks in New Zealand. I saw a lot of beautiful natural sites. On the way south, I found this cache. Thanks for the cache, greetings from Prague.

I collected the required info but left the signing of the logbook to later in the afternoon.

Cheers for the cache.

Grabbed today during a road trip down the deep south cheers for this multi.

Grabbed the required info yesterday while visiting my brother & his family. Out here again today visiting my SIL & niece so it made sense to tick this one off before I head back up north. Great memorials for such a small village. TFTC

managed to solve this from the comfort of home in preparation for another trip several months ago. Pleased to find it all worked out perfectly with the find today. TFTC #7977

Just visiting the area of Kakanui for a few days . What a lot there is to do here with sea and estuary and wildlife reserves it's amazing. Also an opportunity for a few caches. Thanks to the owners for bringing us to such a lovely spot .

First multi totally confused and so gave up. Found the memorial worked out the coordinates but couldn't find it

Got the number, did the sums then made a quick find.
TFTC

A little logic solved this puzzle so after walking around the Taranui coastline caches we went past the memorial grove. NZhistory.net says the new replacement bronze tablet and information board were added in time for the First World War centenary in August 2014 - it ertainly looks very well cared for. Then off to the final, which does need a bit of TLC. Thanks for showing us these special palces in Kakanui waitaki999.

Time was against me so only got to the first part of this cache. I think I worked out the maths correctly but didn't have time to search for it.

First cache! Great fun. On to the next one.

Not sure how but we mucked up somewhere as our co-ords weren't quite right but soon spotted somewhere that looked obvious. Found with Aoraki Sheep.

Two well kept memorials and the log is signed and returned to it's hiding place. Found with debsnz

A nice quick multi which again gave us pause for reflection. TFTC.

log was wet and falling to pieces so replaced it. TFTC

Nice multi-cache and soon had the container located. SL TFTC

A nice quick multi. No problems with either the coordinates or the final. TFTC

Found on day 1 of an 8 day NZ Mega event trip while heading South in the company of Yeetrees and agcnz.

Came here on the way south to Dunedin today with fozzmiester and Yeetrees. No problems with the questions and the cache was a quick find - signed log, TFTC

On a caching trip with ingidayna to Oamaru and surrounds to get 1000 finds. A nice quick multi, but log too wet to sign. TFTC

one of many to get 1000 caches TFTC found with wethreefourdices.

Almost that time of year again. Lest we forget.
Thank you for placing this cache.

I enjoy visiting memorials and this gives me the perfect reason to learn a little more about places and their history. TFTC

Great liitle multi, final soon located TFTC.

Had this one worked out a while ago, so good to finally get it done. TFTC

Nice little town.Quick find.

TFTC. +TB.

Fifth find of the day. Cool thanks.

Mathematicians don't need monuments. Solved while walking Kakanui River Track. Damage quite sad at Final.

Great area have not been here before

This had been on my list for a while so it was a good afternoon to have a drive around, do the maths and sign the log.
Thanks
ernienz

I think these are very important. Thanks

A quick multi, we will remember. At least we didn't forget our maths, found with Yeetrees.

TNLNSL, TFTC

Found with YuGeo4, another quick multi, well at least we got it correct, another monument to the brave soldiers of the pass that we will never forget. TFTC TNLNSL (1278)

Easy multi, it is sad to find so many plaques in such a close distance.

nice one took marble left crazy bone

Enjoyed the maths with a difference. GZ revealed a very wet cache. Poured the water out and dried the paperwork as best I could. Left silica gel.

2936. The cache is a little bit worse for wear - inside and out. Thanks for getting us to stop and remember.

Thanks
Iris & Rodney

It is sobering reading the numbers of young men from such small communities that paid the ultimate price for our freedom.

A nice multi - at the waypoint it looks like the local kids have made big poppies for the upcoming Anzac Day, there were about 30 all near the memorial plaque. Co-ords quickly worked out and the cache was in hand shortly afterwards. Thanks TNLN

Easy find even though it took us two days to complete the task - having been sidetracked away after visiting the first waypoint. TFTC

Nothing wrong with the maths - indeed, it can be worked out without going to WP1

Nice wee multi & puzzle.
Thanks

18/64

Nice multi cheers

Good quick find by Pohutukawa here. Cheers Gav [2669]

Did this one with Moneydork.

A familiar spot. TFTC.

done this when out with Annie/PB

Did the first part earlier in the day, but we were heading in the opposite direction, so decided to pick this up when we came back past. PB made a quick find.

Just goes to show that no corner of the country was left un effected by loss during the two wars, we will remember them. TFTC

No problems with this one, all worked out well and a quick find.
Many thanks.

We have searched in this area before for a cache.

Wallaceduo were just about to leave the waypoint as we drove up but we had to go quite some way further on before finding a spot to do a U-turn so they were gone before we arrived back. Met them a few minutes later at another cache. Seem to remember visiting the final for another cache not too long ago!

A fun tour of town. TFTC

I knew about one of the monuments, but not the other. Thanks.

Found it by "accident" - Russell said that would be a good place for a cache, so we stopped, I said "No! I looked in the internet before, there is no cache." So we wanted to carry on, got a few meters and someone was waving from the other side of the road to stop. So we did, he asked if we are doing that "GPSthing" and that he watched a few people searching for and hiding a small container before. So we found the cache and explained Geocaching to him.

Were past here duing the day so took some pic's of the plaque and can back to night to find the cache.

Thanks Bitsprayer
