I wish that I had read the previous logs before spending 20 minutes looking for the cache.

Six DNF's in a row, hasn't been checked since the first one logged in jan this year.

Quite clearly sometimes it is worth reading the logs before you climb the muddy path.

Tried hard, disappointed bout the missing cache.

What a disappointment. Found the spot where cache used to be, nice wee nest. Wolfpac10

Shame that we could not find the GC after negotiating the slippery track.

Slipped our way up for the search, but came up empty.

Made a good attempt but couldn't find it even with the clue.

HOLIDAYING AT THE CAMPGROUND AND DESPITE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO FIND IT WE COULD NOT. WONDER IF IT IS STILL THERE.

It was slippery, managed it anyway. TFTC

One last cache for the day - despite the rain. Interesting spot!

It was a very windy day when we went here. We had to crouch down to keep from being blown over. TFTC

Beautiful view and a wonderful birthday meal at 'Fleur's place' right beside the cache.
You really have to go!
TFTC

nice walk from around the point thanks

TFTC. Nice view from top on a nice calm day.

Easy find, few muggles about. TFTC

TFTC, 2nd for the day.

found after a quick search. tftc

Rescue mission undertaken and completed at 10:38am. Just one of twenty-two missions today. A great view from this one. TFTC.

No. 649

Out on a daytrip to Moeraki to keep the kids off their playstation.

First geocaches for more than a month.

Nice quick find, boys loved the sock.

Found: 20/05/2010 09:51 . Find #37 for trip around the SI. After coming away empty handed up at the lookout I was pleased to find this one reatively easily ... once I looked in the right place [:p]

OUT: Keenooshayo's Flat Stanley TB y6z46j

This was a quick find as it was getting later in the afternoon and starting to get cold. Great view though. TNLN

Great wee spot seen all the action for the fishing competition from here. The muggles were too busy watching it too to notice us

1330hrs Found using coords only, had left details in vehicle. Found and back to Fleurs for lunch. The Italian Job was here......! Our blog www.motorhominginxs.blogspot.com

Great views from the top. No fish for us today at Flers.

Holidaying from Australia having a caching good time!!

Well if I'd fallen it wouldn't be far to help. Hope I never need the SAR but its comforting to know they are there.

Almost muggled here - another couple saw us and wondered what on earth we were doing. TFTC

Another nice easy find for the day, clue was very helpful, as was my 9 yr old son - he loved the danger aspect of this one!
TFTC

Parked just out of the way of the helipad. I think the sock needs a bit of work. Nice view.

We decided to detour into Moeraki---after all, it *is* a holiday. I enjoyed the meander to the cache and the views from GZ.

Thanks!

Found 15/1/10.Had to abandon first attempt,too slippery,couldn't stand up.Took long time to get clay off boots.Found with clue at second visit.TFTC

Found it on a short stroll after having great lunch at Fleur's! TFTC

Without the clue, we beat around the bushes at GZ for several minutes before widening our search by about 3 meters. By the looks of it, we were not the first bush beaters. ( oops, I mean bush in the U.S. way, not the N.Z. way!) TFTC at this beautiful location.

Nearly slipped over a few times, it was just starting to rain. TFTC

Strategically placed very close to a dog poo? Nice view from here. Unfortunately no lunch at Fleur's as planned, as it was fully booked. Great spot though. TFTC.

Found by Kyah. Lovely view.

Nice walk from the campground to Moeraki downtown .

TFTC and greetings from Switzerland!

Found the cache quickly on a very windy day. Thanks for this one and greetings from Germany, Team Loopi

From the cache name, it became apparent where the cache was located as we arrived. Plenty of people around here today. Very windy at the top but great views all around. Thanks Bitsprayer for taking us up to S.A.R.

A really nice lookout over the bay! But be carefull if you try to get the cache in the evening hours. There is a penguin breeding in te shrubs and the chick is right at the cachesite!!!

What busy place, full on at the cafe and the road was quite busy. People must have been wondering why someone would climb up this hill but the view alone is worth it.
Thanks

A great spot for a cache, enjoyed the views with Yeetrees. Easy find once we read the clues properly.

TNLNSL, TFTC

Found by YuGeo4, very nice views took a bit longer than it should as I didn’t read the log page properly, but once we did cache was in hand within seconds, stunning views. TFTC TNLNSL (1272)

Found on a day trip to find 40 caches...

dead baby seal at bottom of stairs,very windy and heaps of muggles with their boats but a lovely spot had a look at Fleurs looked like a yummy menu though, very busy and very expensive the place was buzzing

A bit breezy by the time we got here.Muggle's clearing a section just opposite

A bit of a climb at the end and quite windy. A nice cafe Fleurs which i had heard a lot about. A few muggles working near-by.

A bit windy, but nice view over the rough sea.

A group of us thought we'd stop here for a late lunch at Fleurs Cafe on the way South. Cafe full, so we picnicked instead, and found this cache. Great spot.

A bit of a scarey scramble to the spot, fighting gravity and a strong wind. Very pretty views along this peninsular. Thanks for another hunt, Bitsprayer.

Sorry for the late log, just getting round to logging all my recent caches. Nice wee cache , enjoyed it. TFTC!!! ClownyCacher AND YET ANOTHER!!!! WOW!! you are a dedicated geocacher!

it was a bit windy so we dashed in and out. TFTC! cheers, kiwicachers

Always fun to learn something new, so now I know what flax looks like. TNLN SL

Great fun getting this cache on a windy windy day!!! Just a well for the rope, due to the wind and the slithery bank. Annie managed to keep all the bits of the cache and contents and herself from rolling or blowing away while signing and hiding it again. TNLN TFTC

nice view, quick find,cheers

Was staying in the area and this was my first attempt at trying to find a cache. Unfortunately no luck despite a thorough search of the vicinity .

As we approached along the road from about a kilometre away, I said "I'll bet it's right there", and right there it was. I had brought my tramping boots, but the climb was not too far. Stopped for a seafood lunch at the obvious spot, and saw a seal playing in the sea just near the point. Thanks and cheers from Grandalf(1619)

Nice wee drive on a narrow road. Flax bush needs upgraded to medium not small anymore. TNLN TFTC

Bit of a hunt needed, took coin, left game, TFTC

A quick pickup on our trip around Moeraki. TFTC

TFTC found on a trip to Timaru with babyfox54.
Found on a cold wet morning.

TFTC found with terman8or

A nice walk down from the whalers monument.

had a look, had a cuppa then found easily 2nd time. whew, given my envolvement with S.A.R. at home.

Found it easily this time - must have gone straight past it last visit.

A nice easy find before a picnic lunch at bottom of 'Hill'. The S.A.R. flag is on its last legs and will shortly be in need of rescue. TFTC

A nice easy find on our trip down south. cheers Bo

A quick hunt while finding out if dinner was an option at Fleurs - no such luck sadly - you really need to book ahead for this one! No seals below for us today. TNLN Thanks.

Very obvious spot for a cache - great! Watched 2 fur seals sunning and swimming amongst rocks below, and had to avoid a few muggles viewing from Fleur's.

Thanks

Very obvious spot (in general) for a cache - great! Watched a seal on rocks below and had to avoid a few muggles viewing from Fleur's.

An easy find in a cool location. TFTC.

Great views, under observation from a diver coming out of the water and a man sitting on the deck of a nearby house.
Thanks

Yes caution when wet! Great view and a quick find. TFTC

Fantastic views and amazing food at the local restuarant Fluers place.

A muggle decided to come up after I had replaced the cache. He was none the wiser though.

Way cool area.

TFTC

Very nice spot, found while staying in Moeraki for a few days. TFTC

Found heading back to Dunedin.

Nice place.

Nice spot with the sun setting. Found with simpsonsrgr8.

What a great little spot and a lovely view of the bay from here! Cheers Gav [2633]

Did this one with Moneydork.

A great spot. TFTC

Great spot. We had a work function down here at the resturant (Which featured on TV just the other day) Man it's popular, even today mid afternoon there was 20-25 cars parked outside. Back to the cache, found it TFTC

Nice and dry on the ascent today plus a great view.
TFTC

2275. Sometimes it is easy to make the simple difficult! We spent some time at the spot, finding nothing. We then went back to the car, regrouped, walked back up and found the cache straight away!

Thanks
Iris & Rodney

Good view of "Fleur's Place" from here but sadly we are too full of icecream from the Dairy in Hampden. Great icecream shop. Huge icecreams and lots of flavours

A lot of flax bushes around so I have to search a bit. Found it in the end. Groudn was very slippery today
TFTC + Greetings from Germany

What a neat place loved it thanks

Great spot to watch the world go by. TFTC

Another nice spot to see the sea from - and a cache too!

FTF. Definitely a drop just down the other side from the cache!
