Tried but obviously not hard enough!!.

sorry this one has been stolen again
will have up soon, just need to work how to muggle proof it

Lucked out again… maybe third time lucky next year [?]

Searched until it was morning smoko to no avail.

On a BWOC again with -gonefishing- and boxhill in Nelson to clean up a few of the nice and challenging caches. Arrived at GZ and what happens, it is muggle central with a muggle parked within a few metres of the cache. Managed to spot the cache from a distance and started to take some photos to distract the muggles and sent -gonefishing- in to retrieve the cache, no major issues here today, thanks for bringing us here to this interesting spot. TFTC TNLNSL (2785)

Found on a caching weekend with yeetrees and boxhill. Quite a few muggles nearby, but soon spotted the cache as it is quite exposed. However it seems to survive nonetheless.
TFTC.

During our 4 weeks holiday in the southern island of NZ we did not only find an exiting countryside and wildlife. The many caches brought us sometimes to places we didn´t expect or planned to go to.
Thank you very much for this. Greetings from Germany.

Once the area was clear of muggles it was easy.

Second visit to the area. Good to have a look around. Enjoyed the cache. Many thanks.

Muggles free zone today, perhaps it was the wind...TFTC

Found while introducing another family member to caching! T4TC!

Quick find. Waited a while to replace due to fishing muggle to leave. TFTC

In town overnight - quick find

Easy find on a calm evening. Took tb

Visited a new cache nearby and dropped in a TB.

It'd be a lovely spot on a nicer day. We could do with the rain though.

Long awaited but we have finally have done this one. The cache owner was there so it makes it a real family affair. Now you guys have too head north and do our's one day.

Luckily there was vegetation blocking us from a couple of muggles sitting in their car.

#1666 (25/26 on day 2 in Nelson). Sacrificed my knees to grab this cache from an angle where I was hidden from the parked up teen(?) muggles. TFTC.

Easy when its there to find.

Nice quick find on a lovely evening. Dropped off a Dolphin TB we brought up from Hanmer TFTC

Nice place. Thanks for showing me.

No fish but cache. TFTC

Nice to see this back in action. TFTC

A quick grab just around the corner from work

DNF – Nice spot, but no bites for us today…

Easy find! Thanks!

#1663 Walked out from town via Old Dump, Thomas' Place and You...B@stard. It was a great evening with clear blue skies and loads of muggles. The cache was exactly where it should be so an easy find. TNLN TFTC DS8300

A nice easy one while the Mrs was shopping at the sales. Only one fella casting a line but he wasn't having much luck. TNLN Thanks.

Easy Find. TFTC

Was a nice start in the day. One of the last in the Nelson area. TFTC

At last we got it. Muggles here every other time, only had to dodge the workers this time. Left Lets Drive TB, took nothing.

TFTC - easy find, was totally exposed, covered over with leaves, but it could possibly benefit from a bit of digging in. The yellow cap is a sheer giveaway to muggles.

First one for the night

Nice area. Easy find. TFTC
Early Rizers
+ Jandal keyring
- small green zipper pouch

Plenty of muggles fishing, but they were too concerned with their catches to see us find the cache. Yellow top is VERY obvious, but there is so much rubbish around that it possibly looks just like another piece. TFTC.

Easy find due to the yellow lid acting like a homing signal. Quite exposed, tried to recover with leaf debris.
Interesting location, all on land reclaimed since our childhood days here....

A quick find despite a bad GPS fix. A few worker muggles about but plenty of tree cover hid my activity. TNLN SL TFTC

5th find for the day. Nice place Nelson.TFTC regards Mobiledaws Aust,

A quick easy find thankyou

TFTC TNLN SL

Third time lucky. First time we were muggled out, second we were rained out and third there was no one to be seen. Very out in the open so hid it a little better. TNLNSL TFTC.

Thanks was my first cache. We saw dolphins in the boulder bank...

An early morning find on a lovely day.

A quick find early Sunday morning. Nice area to visit. TFTC Left geocoin

finally after waiting an hour for the coast to be clear. easy find

Good clue, nice cache. Left a couple of items in the cache & replaced zip-lock bags. Well camouflaged. TFTC.

did this one while out for drive
thanks

ticked this off with Mr B of bartlettboys ,then we went for a kayak in the cool wind off the fresh snow on the west ranges. thnx

thanks

A lone fisherman paitiently waiting for the big one...but it ended up - not one so he left! TFTC

A nice lunchtime diversion from the office TFTC

Found with hubby Stretch0 finally getting round to logging our last outing before shifting!!! so apologies in delay of logging ready to get back caching again thanks for the cache

A well hidden cache in full view which we nearly missed due to muggles moving about. Found with my wife niteowlnz.
Thanks for the cache

Not many people here tonight,the cache was soon in hand


Many Thanks Bitsprayer

Easy find. Cheers

Lovely place for a picnic :O)

The drive to the cache was most picturesque and the location at the end of the road couldn’t be a better choice for a cache. Perfect weather for this driveby cache. Discrete retrieval wasn’t as easy, but good thing no one saw us. TFTC.

Found this one with Moneydork

A nice quick find. Very hot day.

A number of fishing muggles catching absolutely nothing at all! Had a view of the damage done by the extensive fire on the Atawhai hills. Had to distract attention from a nearby fisherman; a camera always does the trick. Thanks for the cache.
tuttifrutti et al.

Found cache OK Fishing poor

Dead seagull still in residence. Cache found with no problems. Excellent site. TFTC, Biggles.

A quick and easy find, NINO, TFTC

easy find after some fishing

2466. This was a very quick pick up on a dreary and wet afternoon.

Thanks
Iris & Rodney

A quick find. Theres a dead seagull guarding the cache at present. Very fresh by the look of it. TFTC.

Nice quick find on the way to do some northern Nelson caches before heading home for the evening. Cheers Gav [3409]

Nice easy final find for the day. Great hide even with lots of muggles in the car park on the other side.
TFTC

It was wet, windy, and miserable so quickly dashed out of the car to grab this cache, and took it back to the car to sign the log. I can see this would be a great spot when the weather is good... TFTC

Nice quick, easy (and discreet) find, thanks. Quite an interesting place to go for a walk.

Great hide! Humid evening as the sun was setting, but a lovely day. TFTC. TNLNSL :0)

Visted with Vicksta ... a few fishing muggles to keep an eye on. Well located cache !!!

We appreciated having a nice quick find after the time we spent at Float My Boat!! A good one for your first cache. A bit too wet and cold for us to fully appreciate the area today though. TFTC TNLN

Good spot for a cache, never realised how big the fishing industry is in these parts before.
TFTC

Good quick find by Samy jnr , have spotted a few seals in this area.
TFTF

Quick find and a great place for a cache.Keep up the good work and keep them coming.TFTC

Took the long way home from the airport area and did this as a night cache. A surprisingly busy area in the evening. TNLN

Found with integersmirk, TFTC

A pleasant gentle ride on a overcast Sunday, quick find once we had figured out where to xxx Nd which xxxx. No GPS so some guesswork! TNLN, TFTC

Toke #6 left kats footprint

Easy find with Wilson#41.
TNLN

An easy find with Kwaka40. Lots of muggles out today...

Easy find with no muggles around however as we were sitting writing in the log book a car of them arrived meaning we had to replace it very sneakily!
+ parachutist and dice
- TB and coin

Some caches simply do not 'cooperate'. First visit we got muggled out, second visit I couldn't find it even though I was completely alone to get on with the search. Third visit I had to use the clue! Now why didn't I check there? Thanks for the cache TNLN.

Got muggled by dogs but easy find in the end. Thanks.

well done for your first cache beautiful spot sat awhile and enjoyed the the atmosphere thank you.

just popped into check on cache and drop off geo-coin

Well it took 3 visits here before we finally managed to get the place to ourselves. There was a muggle who looked to be living out of his car parked beside GZ the first 2 attempts, but he was gone today.
Dropped off a Platypus TB

It started out drizzling... by the time I was biking down here it was pouring with rain. Still, I found the cache

We seem to have a resident seal. I've seen it for the last three days in the inner harbour. Always nice to pop along here. Shame there is some rubbish around the cache. I know I should of cleaned up but... TFTC, TNLN.

Great spot down here, nobody about on this drizzly afternoon. TFTC (99)

Nice spot, not where i had thought it to be but found it OK well done on your first cache

Good to see Magpiy grabbing another FTF, the competition is heating up. I was too busy logging my weekend in Auckland last night so didn't venture out but will be back on the FTF hunt soon. This cache was found on my lunch break, sat and enjoyed the seat and view before grabbing the cache, good spot. TFTC.

FTF 6.55am. What a fantastic spot, great place to just sit or stroll along the water front. Stunning this morning as the sea was like a mill pond. Well done on your first cache.
