I had an old download from GSAK in my GPS so didn't realise this one was archived. Found with Kiwi Explorer on our 2nd attempt. Lucky of us it was still in situ. Managed to find just a little bit of space in the log to leave our mark. TFTC, Biggles.
As per Mr B's instructions I brought my torch to help find this one, found archived cache was still in place. Signed log. TFTC.
Found this one with the Mr B half of the Beltfamily. Or should I say it was found by Mr B in less than 30 seconds flat. A fare bit of justified gloating going on after he located it. A nice way to log a find on one that seems to have a bit of a reputation as a hard ask. Great to meet up with a Nelson cacher for a talk. Lost count of how many of his caches I have found. I look forward to catching up again with him sometime in the not too distant future. SL TFTC
Mr Kiwi_Explorer asked me to tell him where this one was hidden, so I brought help. In the end boxhill saw me find it in 20 seconds. Oh yeah, you got to respect the re-discovered mojo last one for the day, and nice to meet up with boxhill an hour and a half exchanging gossip and tips... I'm sure we'll meet up later in the year.

We're on a trip around the world, doing 7 lovely weeks in NZ. Today we made a knife in Barrytown, that was great. Tonight we did some caching. TFTC, your logbook is full. Greetings from the Netherlands.
I like the cache name - it's only immediately obvious what it refers to once you get there! Log is pretty full
#1541 (17/18 CHC to Greymouth). After a long drive (with a number of detours) we finally reached our comfortable accommodation at the nearby Top 10. Went for an evening walk to find a couple of nearby caches. Were a bit unsure whether we would find after a couple of DNFs but it didn't take too much searching to uncover this nice hide. TFTC.
Just a short walk from where we're staying in Greymouth, so popped out after we had dinner. StreetWalkerNZ found it after a few minutes, nice hide!

Three of us glanced in the obvious places, but didn't spend too much time because of previous log.
An interesting and appropriately named cache which was quickly found on arrival at the obvious location. TFTC
Nice early morning walk along the beach from the camp ground once the rain had stopped. Took a couple of minutes to locate as it was found lying on the ground under long grass. Placed it a smidgen higher.
Had a good look around and then finally located the cache,Placed it back where I think it should have been. Cheers Bo
Couldn't spot this one today, it must be a tricky wee blighter, maybe next time. Thanks.
Back again today and this one didnt beat us today, was pretty darn sure we checked there last time we were here. TFTC

We have spent a night in a camp close to cache site.

A lovely fine day for a beach walk and the cache turned out to be a quick find, all very logical really.

Found it just as the sun was setting. Helped restore some confidence after a couple of DNF earlier in the day. Thanks
I was wanting scotty to beam me up while I looked for this one. The 2 locals cunningly had me groping in the wrong places.
Payback is always sweet

Merry Xmas from Germany!

Habe ihn leider in der Eile nicht gefunden, hatte nur 5 Minuten Zeit... Kannte außerdem nur die Koordinaten und hatte keinen Hinweis. Grüße aus Germany, Jens-Kuno, www.lok-lauf.de
Ooops! No didn't unroll the log paper. Just signed the top. So we are actually 3TF, never mind LOL. FOund with mongyspeed & houza. TFTC
STF with Mandz. Quick find once I used the clue, nice container. Had a black canine muggle with no owner come along the track while we were signing the log. Replaced the cache and started to head home to find the dog was following us. Tried to shoo it away but it just kept wagging its tail and trotting along with us. Tried to hide from it and sneak away but it just kept sniffing us out, this was getting annoying! We couldn't even go in separate directions as the dog would still follow one of. We were just about to ring the dog control when we noticed a phone number on its collar! Called the number,got the owner and she came down to collect her. Quite an eventful caching walk!
