Size Matters Part 1 *Micro* (Otago) Dunedin, South Island, New Zealand
By terman8or on 23-Mar-09. Waypoint GC1P2Z4

The time has come to archive some of my older caches, thanks to everyone who found and enjoyed my caches, and I hope some new creative caches will end up in their place.

Regards terman8or.

with so many dnf's perhaps a visit from the cache owner to check would be good.... not here today, very quiet up here on a Sunday so had a thorough look everywhere but.... no

no luck

Had a look this morning before and after going to the doctors and I couldn't find this one.

I knew from the co-ords and description I was looking in the right place. I moved alot of leaves and rubbish around but no cache.

justva note to CO i went past and checked this one because i had found it a while back and also needed cords for part two. there is definatly no sign of this cache at GZ please replace

Found where it should have been. Searched around the spot but no luck. Plenty of rubbish there.
May pay to check to see if it is still there

hey there i was out to see if i could find yours up by the mornington park but i could not find it anywhere

Nice and easy to find but couldn't get it out for ages because there was a muggle sitting fairly nearby. I will have to get around to doing the next one sometime.

Quick find on way into town. TFTC

My compulsory Christmas Day cache. A lovely walk in the evening to the cache once it had cooled down. A flyer about Jesus was covering the cache - seemed appropriate for today. TFTC #4317

Found on 24-12-12 at 6:26:00 p.m.
A bit of a search needed before we got it
Thanks for the cache.terman8or

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.

Previously logged under a team account. Re-logging with my individual account.

We pulled up in the car park checked that the coast was clear and began the hunt it was just seconds long as Gaz soon pulled the cache out and was busy adding our name to the log as a muggle walked by whom decided to watch us for a bit, He then sat in the nearby bus stop which gave us enough cover to replace the cache.

Had to wait around for a good wee while until a suitable gap in the muggles appeared. TFTC.

Nice Cache

Was in Dunedin to attended the first ever Mega in New Zealand. Managed to work it out so that I was able to team up with -gonefishing-, fozzmiester and agcnz on an 8 day caching trip around the South Island, this was day 4 of the road trip.

After finding GC199R3 - Gone Bush (Otago), this was the next cache that I had on our list that we needed to find today. We decided that it was time to go back to Mornington and work our way around the CBD and pick up a few more caches this was another park and grab traditional cache, well not quite but close enough.

Since we were in the area it was a quick walk to GZ as we got closer we soon spotted the hint in the distance and upon closer inspection, managed to find it quickly once we got to GZ, retrieved, signed and replaced it back as found, very quiet at GZ. Thanks terman8or for placing this cache here and for bringing us to this spot. TFTC TNLNSL (5088) Yes size does matter when it comes to finding caches, as the larger the better, well, easier to find, maybe

A quick park and grab. TFTC

Found as part of an 8 day NZ Mega Event trip. Day 4 - Dunedin and surrounds. Thanks to the owners of the 500 + caches which I had the pleasure to find along the way and which contributed to a very fun trip.

Came here with fozzmiester and Yeetrees on a day's caching around Dunedin while here for the MEGA event. A quick find - signed log, TFTC.

In town for the NZ 2012 Mega event. Heading back home to CHCH, just a bit of time to pick up a couple on the way out of town. Nice wee spot, quickly spotted and signed. CHeers.

After lunch we were passing here & thought it was a good opportunity to pick up this cache which also had coords for the next. That's when the rain began but enough cover to quickly grab & replace it. Part 2 will wait for another trip this way!

NZ12. Out caching with Dazzatron today. Being a weekend the location was not in use, so we could look for this one in peace, and fortunately it was not too hard to locate. Thanks.

Found on the "Gangsters" NZ Mega 2012 trip with steeba, The Rats and Farmer Frentzen. A muggle was walking past the cache but we waited for him to move on and then made the find.

Thanks terman8or for the cache. Stats for our trip can be found here http://www.campersdownunder.com.au/geocaching/NZTrip/stats2.html

Found during a tiki tour of the area with The Empire while here for the NZ Mega from Melbourne .
thankyou for your cache

Out and about on a MEGA cache raid with team FMZ. This one was a quick find which was lucky as it was a late night find and size definitely didn't matter TFTC.

Found during 'The Gangsters' trip to New Zealand, being Big Matt, The Rats, steeba and myself.

Parking was close by for this one and after waiting for a passing muggle to go by we made a quick find.

Thanks terman8or for the cache.

Attended by The Empire
Day five of the NZ Mega invasion
After grabbing one of the oldest caches around, it was time to head to the coast to check out that side of Dunedin. Thanks for the cache.

Quick stop on the way for petrol. Found in the first place I looked thanks to the clue.

TFTC

Found as part of the Gangsters- The Rats, Farmer Frentzen and Big Matt and Shell- as part of our NZ Mega Event Tour 2012.

Parking was available right nearby and a quick find. TFTC!

Found this cache as part of the Gangster's Aussie assault on the first NZ Mega with Big Matt, FarmerFrenzten and steeba.

Arriving at GZ we had to wait for a few muggles to move on before grabbing this one.
Thanks

Found with Bullertrout.

Another great find on the Emvy_Us / Waiiti20 mega tour of the Southern South Island. TFTC

Found with Emvy_us on our southern tiki tour while attending the Dunedin Mega. TFTC

Quick find while in town for the Mega. TFTC.

Quick find on a nice day

A very busy bus stop nearby - pleased that we did not need to approach the play area, though.

Ohh! Excelent! Was wasn't specifically aiming to get this series, but when the cache just turned op on the route I was using to cycle back to the backpackers I just had to grab it. Ahh, who am I kidding. It showed up - that's reason enough to grab it! Had to wait a bit for muggles to clear. Then I had to wait for more muggles to clear before i could put it back. Busy place.

Nice quick find for the kids while playing, TFTC

Looking forward to finding part 2!

Quick find. TFTC

Busy area!

Last cache of the day, tftc

Just too busy when I came searching on my previous visit, but today the coast was clear. The cache container could easly pass as rubbish.... I hope others don't treat it as that.

Found this just on dark - cache number 400, we couldn't go home on 399! Nearly overlooked this one as it looked seriously like rubbish, hopefully it won't get picked up by a good samaritan! TFTC

Found on my caching trip to Dunedin. TFTC

Easy enough Likely to be "cleaned up" one day as a bit of rubbish about Did a little CITO to avoid that

Didn't take long to find, and have co ordinates for next one. TFTC.

Found it!

yay looked for this last year with a DNF so today we found ya. Found with wethreefourdices. Agreat day for caching even bumped into a old school friend here, Thanks

10 of 13 on a caching mission. A quick easy find. TFTC

29/04/12 15:53 #352 found easily with hint. Didn't find a pen or pencil in cache as promised and neglected to bring one so was unable to record our visit in log book. Grabbed co-ords for no 2. TFTC

Quick find but had to be careful not to show the muggles what we were up to.

Found it:)

Found it thanks

Found on 2nd attempt. Got co-ords and off we went for no. 2. TFTC.

Pencil has gone AWOL. TFTC

Found it on the third attempt...

Quick find. TFTC

Nice easy find (after the bus left the bus stop)

Nice Sunday afternoon cash tftc

I was suprised that the cache cointainer looks like some rubbish T4TC

Early morning grabTFTC

Our first cache of the new year!

Helpful hint

Found after the odd look over a couple of months. TFTC

Had another look after having found it before it went missing. Good hide now TFTC. Co-ords much better now.

Glad to see this one active again. I could have grabbed it earlier in the week, but I decided to hang on to it for a day I needed a quick grab to keep my advent-ure going.

I've set myself a new personal challenge. Sunday marked the beginning of Advent. If you’re not sure what that is all about, check the link at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advent . I've decided to start myself off on an Advent-ure. My aim is to find at least one geocache on each of the days of Advent, so hopefully by Christmas Day I’ll have a new longest streak which surpasses my current ‘6 Days’ by a country mile. My original plan was thwarted when I had some technical difficulties in Wellington, when I was away for two days... before I left I uploaded my Pocket Queries, but I never checked it before I arrived, and when I hit the ground it was empty. That meant I dropped two days in the middle of the streak, but I’ll still top my previous best run.

Found this cache without too much trouble ona rainy Dunedin day, on the way home from our 10am service. I was really pleased I'd left it for a day when I needed a quick grab - I really didn't feel like being out and about in the rain today!

Signed the logbook on 18 December 2011 at 12:39:00

New cache has been placed, have updated the hint to account for this. Have also updated the co ods so they are now more accurate to the new caches location.

I will be repairing this for terman8or and hope to be able to do so within the next week.

Disabling until it can be repaired or archived

As i posted in the last log before the complaint log and the disabling i am looking into repairing this, i have someone doing this for me in Dunedin as i no longer live there so cannot repair my caches as quickly as i used to anymore. The earliest i will be back is Xmas and if i have time then i will repair it. If it is not done by the new year i will archive the entire series.

Cache is reported as 'active' when it is missing. Has been missing since August.
This cache needs to be temporarily disabled until it is fixed, or ultimately archived if the owner can't have it replaced.

Will look into replacing/ checking when I'm next in Dunedin. No longer live here so its not as easy to use go and check on my caches these days.

d to wait for muggles to fin their fish n chips then we had a real good look to no avail, have just read past logs !!!

Have been back for this geocache twice this week, haven't been able to find it either time. The GPS had me standing in the middle of the field, so the co-ords might need to be averaged more accurately.

I checked all of the areas the hint pointd to but alas no cache was found =(

After not having found it in late July revisited with rainy painy who had found it a week of two ago. It has definitely gone! Disappeared!! Vanished!!

The GPS was way off needs better reading please. Also the log book hasn't fallen a part

coords were a bit off.... found with the sting

Found it with Yakinaway no 12 for the day - Night cache

thanks to everyones comments, found the cache easily. Thanks!!

TFTC

Third time lucky, not quite where gps takes you. TFTC

co ord a bit out but with the help of Kryshan was soon in hand.T4TC

checked out the area the day before, but too busy to look for anything, especially without playground-age kids in tow - returned a day later at night - the cover of darkness made it easier to look but not much easier to find... located eventually, so now we are equipped for no 2

Came in the night for this one, but however, even though at night you have much less muggles, in the night you also have much less light... so its kind of an annoying trade off...
Well, we had torches though... but much less torches that people...
But we did get the cache eventually thanks to the other logs which mentioned how the cache was actually located 10m west of the posted coordinates.
It was still a bit of a search though, as the spot was hiding quite well!!
TFTC!!

Had to come a second time since I couldn't find it the first time. GPS said I was 12m SW from the coordinates.

Busy area, but well screened.
TFTC

Found it. TFTC!

TFTC, what an awesome playground
