Time for a quick find before the light rain started. Found with MummyPenny. Thanks no.13.
Unless youre a little blonde like me, you dont need to go into the bush for this one.
Day one riding the Great Taste Trail from Nelson to Wakefield. This was not a shocking find for us as we made a quick find in the first place we looked. TFTC
First find with my new GPS. Took longer to setup the gps than to find the cache!TFTC
A nice morning walk along the cycle way. Relatively busy, but we managed to sneak the caches between muggles. TFTC!!
Good to see this cache is back online. A quick & easy find as per the hint. SL & placed back as found. Nice hiding spot 
Forgot a pen and the map continued saying I was on the road. So the first attempt wasn't that good will come back next week for try two

Out for a wee ride with the wee guy (see our avatar), and pleased to have long muggle-less stretches (see photos) as we went for went for a quick 'out and back' caching mission.
TFTC - liked the 'name-appropriate' container
P.S Nice pic of the Joker no.13 - do ya self a favour if you haven't already, and go see the 2019 movie of the same name - Joaquin Phoenix dishes up a legendary performance!

Fourth find for Mr and I today. Decided to hunt out some of the wonders to complete. TFTC
Out for a bike ride to Brightwater today with muggle hubby. Picked the caches along the way and had an enjoyable coffee. Tail wind on the way back to Richmond.

In NZ for a few days for work. Spent the day with my daughter and grand kids (Caching as SETEA). We had fun going for a wander to find a few caches. Cache soon found. TFTC

Found at 24 January 2021 9:29 pm on day one of a short holiday to the Nelson-Tasman region. As it's an area I haven't cached in before (and a long time since I've visited), I of course wanted to pick up some caches (but not as many as I would have liked, but family came first on this one). Thanks to all the cache owners for putting these out.
Last cache of the evening as it was getting quite dark and I didn't pack a torch for this trip. Got to GZ and soon had the cache in hand. All good here, and TFTC

Theres a line of caches here to snag so decided today was the day. Parked at the overbridge and went walking. This was my first for the day and a quick snag and tag. Cheers.
Awesome! Its a fine day here and in Nelson, so Toby and I headed over the hill for some caching, shopping and the most important thing, the event hosted by the Birthday guys. Picked up Bullertrouts Bro and went exploring for a few hours. Great weather and great time. Cheers

Found on another caching adventure with Missnboyz. My apologies for the late log!
Good cache here gave us a good excuse for a walk. TFTC

Good coords brought me right to it. Nice camo too, amazing that it has been out in the wild for almost 11 years. Thanks No.13.
Not at the first place I started looking so I just went along the fence line and spotted something. Yep, it was the cache, little pencil inside.
Tried to cover a bit more but depending on weather it might not last long

Cache exposed so found this very easily. Have disguised it a little better. All good and dry
Was about to give up when Captain spotted it lying under a tree few metres of the co-ordinates. Using the hint and co-ords we replaced it where we think it was intended to be.
Found this cache on my way to Picton. Here i found some nict Logboxes...
Thanks Malta-Dinger

Visiting from Auckland, staying in a motel nearby. Evening walk across the park, easy find here. Great cycleway, very scenic. And a nice park too. TFTC
What a wonderfull time. I`'m visiting NZ for 10 weeks and find a lot of beautiful places. Nice views and some pretty caches. With my wife kaari74 we log some of these caches. One of them is this one. Thanks all owners for your job.
a wonderful holiday with 2 friends in NZ - thanks for all the great caches we found here
At least 3rd time I have tried for this without success. Lucky day today and although a reasonable amount of foot and cycle traffic able to retreive and replace OK. Great cameo. TFTC
A lovely run with the dog while in the area for a dog agility show, fp for innovative cache camo! Have re hidden as was visible on approach.

#714, 2 June 2018Nice hide on this Easter Sunday. Luckily the 1 April had no effect on accuracy! TFTC.
Clever container...glad to find this one quickly after no luck at the last one. Tftc
Well done , bought a smile to my face, the Master of words. Thank you for the clever cache. Worth a FP
Nice quick find. Cache reasonable uncovered. Signed log and covered up a little. TFTC
Found on a short bike ride from Richmond. I have a personal challenge to find 365 caches each year, and I need just two more today, the last day of the year, to achieve that. This was the second of the two - number 365. It took a few minutes to realise that what I was looking at was what I was searching for! TFTC.
Out for a walk while some of the family visit WOW.
Took a little while to work out the correct spot, then an easy find.

I have set myself a challenge for this year to have at least the same number of caches on each day of my calender as the number of years I have been caching.
Today the target is nine but I just might go over that number.
No shock today.
Cheers for the cache.

Another quick find today, all good with cache. Thanks No13.
Monday was Marlborough Anniversary Day, so a good chance for myself and Jo to head over the hill for a few smilies. It has been a while since we have done some caching, so we were looking forward to this. So we loaded up the bikes with the aim of sampling some of the good taste trail in and around Richmond and Hope. That proved to be a moderately successful few hours. Then a stop for some retail therapy and a bite to eat, and with the weather looking a little more menacing we decided to do rack up the steeds and do park and grabs for the rest of the day, in whichever way they fell. Good fun, and the rain never eventuated, so all up an enjoyable trip. Thanks to all COs, and apologies for the cut and paste.

Out for a bike ride with a list of caches to be found. This trip was planned a week or so ago but winds were too strong, so postponed it. Easy find today. tftc
Cool cache found on family bike ride my Mom catch epic -like the low volt aspect
Out on a morning bike ride a grabbed couple of caches. All quiet so time to have a proper look. Found and signed. Nice hide. Thanks for the cache.
Nice cache thought the shocking part referred to the electricity poll but the co ors are spot on tftc
Charged to the location expecting a quick find.
Shocked when I didn't immediately grab it.
Felt negative when I realised the bushes had grown since it was placed.
Then I switched on to its location.
Thought watt is that?
Positive vibes when I finally found it.
Conducted myself discretely to avoid muggles.
Left the scene without resistance
