Had there day!!

Having tackled ONe approached this with antisipation - but proved slightly less arduous Thanks for all of the effort into these caches LGM

Found on a weekend caching trip with yeetrees and boxhill. Both of them had already done this one, so they kicked me out go and have a play. It was fun, after a bit of fiddling all was revealed. Nice one.
TFTC.

A satisfying solve of the puzzle after a bit of research. And a satisfying opening of the cache after a bit of trial and error. Love these unique cache containers that are a puzzle in themselves. Many thanks.

Found. Log to follow as time and laptop battery permit.

Cache was just as I expected. Tricky, tricky, tricky. Got there in the end though. TFTC

Magpiy helped out with puzzle, nice piece of work in the final. TFTC Cheers!

Out with Magpiy for the day.TFTC

Cool series of caches - thanks

Not too difficult to solve - with the hint. And another great cache hide.
TFTC.

1750 (2/19 on day 7 in Nelson). Another very nice hide. TFTC.

Second one of this series, wasn't too hard to find today as I was starting to see the pattern here, found the co-ordinates exact, BUT was a very interesting cache container. I expected nothing less from Kiwi-Nomad and was not disappointed, nicely done puzzle and cache, thanks for the brain workout, TFTC TNLNSL (2435)

Nice quick lunchtime find... thanks for another quality k.n. cache

Spent some serious time today trying to solve this. Then clank, the penny dropped.

As always a classic K-N hide.

TFTC

Great idea for a cache, well made

Found with moneydork and rediguna

Solved this a while back - nice to come and see another nice container to puzzle over Well not for too long... Cheers Gav [6978]

A clever container - well done.
TFTC

Good one, no problems with the puzzle as I heard of the number before. TFTC

This proved to be a pain in the butt but we got there in the end well done .

Well engineered, haven't seen one like this since the Ducks nuts in the HB.

No problem with the puzzle (finally found one I could do), or the find. Nicely done on both counts thank you.
TFTC

4179 Took longer for us to sort out the numbers, no problems locating the cache and extracting the logbook.
OUT: What a hoot!
IN: NIL

A great puzzle, to get the grey matter working..... well done.
Cache found quickly, but wish I had worn the steel toe caps!!!
Left "What a hoot" geocoin. thanks

Found with wilson#41.
We had a very frustrating time trying to solve the puzzles but with a little extra hint we got there in the end.
Managed to open the cache easily.
TFTC

I found a lot of caches with my Dad - Biggles - and never logged these online. Now I've got my own account, its time to set things straight. Thanks for all the fun, Flying Phoenix.

I'll admit to having been stumped by this (and step-three). However, recent encouragement from Mr KE led to some more persistent web searching and the solution was then clear. Took Lil' Stu to find this after school and cache was quickly in hand, logged and safely returned. TFTC, Biggles.

This one took us some time to figure out.
An easy find and we quickly had the cache open.
TFTC.

An interesting puzzle - thanks. Can't write too much as my time and concentration now needed to solve 2 and 3 of the Y-G series!! TFTC

Many years in the engineering trade enabled a quick solve of the puzzle. The cache almost fell on my toe!! A very creative piece of engineering. Looking forward to Step 3.

Well, this one we managed to get into! Will keep trying on Step-Three!

MRS NAVFAM solving puzzles on this wetday. Puzzle took awhile to work out - where do you start with a bunch of numbers. . Cache spotted as we drove towards it and NAVFAM girls were off and had the cache in hand before the NAVFAM males made it over. Thanks for your clever caches Kiwi-Nomad.

Had to do this after Step-Three due to a couple of very amorous muggles on the first attempt. So after that I knew the drill. Thanks for the instructions on how to put it back - it opened so quickly that it may have taken a couple of attempts without them. Thanks for another great series (430)

Nice easy cache, log quickly recovered and signed.

TFTC (found with Mario Mctavish)

Good cache, not too tricky, looking forward to step-three

A quick find and cache recovery on a hot bike ride up the valley today.
It is always fun to do these caches. No problems here, cheers.

2481. It was only when talking to other geocachers that we found out about the existence of this cache - somehow it slipped through our net with all the computer problems we have had in the last few weeks. We also had a pointer to help us get into the research. So this morning we set about solving some puzzles and at 1pm we were at the spot.
Well - yes - all that work solving and now this! Very clever - we did enjoy immensely.

Thanks
Iris & Rodney

Thanks to Mrs So Bad for some advice on how to Google we solved the puzzle and thankfully gained entry to the cache. A Step down from Step One but we hear Step 3 is another Step Up.
TFTC

Have added clue to solving puzzle ( As it only half the fun ) evil Grin

Did the Two-Three double tonight after tea. Good solid piece of engineering.Although it nearly took our Mrs Buzz's foot when she suddenly got it open.

After doing three first we were onto the ball and quickly had this one under control. TFTC.

Good one. A simple enough find, once I realised I had transposed a digit incorrectly and had a dnf on first attempt.
Nice piece of engineering! Thanks KN

Nice One!!!!!!!! Great puzzle and easy find for Grandparent and Grandson Bryn. We will settle for the Bronze. The first of Kiwi Nomad's caches for him. His comment when the cache container opened was, "Wow, that guy sure is smart". Agree! Much fun! Thanks

No digits for Mrs Sobad to transpose this time. Mrs Sobad solved the puzzle, cricket was abandoned so a good time to go and do this. Managed to get to log in a couple of minutes. Another well engineered cache.

Mr KE will have to settle for silver on this one - those Belt's are pretty quick, the holidays must be revitalising their FTF efforts so look out. A great wee puzzle and another fun Kiwi-Nomad cache. Solved the puzzle last night but it had just got dark. Decided after needing 4 visits to open Step 1 I had better wait for daylight. Stopped by on the way to work, no trouble getting into this one. It's been a long time between drinks on KN caches but well worth the wait. +/- coin Thanks.

Fixed up typo on geo-checker was labeled "Step-One" thanks Karen for pointed it out

Mrs B solved this one while Mr B was busy doing his annual PC reload and was completely oblivious to the fact a new KN cache had been published. Mr B got **told** to get into the car. Coords were entered by Mrs B while mr B was putting on shoes and finding car keys. From receiving geocaching email, solving puzzle, arrival, opening of cache, to signing of log: 29 minutes. (time to open cache: 1 minute). This one goes to Mrs B - I was just the delivery boy today. Thanks for another great cache, and very happy to know your other toys have been put on the shelf and you're back putting some caches out. Best regards, beltfamily.
