Done its time.

No sign of the cache. On reading logs, it hasn't been found since 2018. Needs to be replaced or removed as a cache.

Went out today with the aim of changing green boxes on the map to yellow, but unfortunately a few blue popped up too. Most of our finds were nice and simple, but a few took a bit of time.

Nothing here apart from another golf ball. Might be time for a CO check, thanks
 
No cache just a golf ball ...didn't have a replacement sorry...

16-Dec-17
Heading to Middlemarch for a caching weekend and had the morning to fill in before meeting BCD at Palmerston. No one on the road today but there was someone mowing on the green. Lots of cover to hide in once cache was located and even found a golf ball! TFTC

13-Mar-16
The second weekend of planned caching trips for Chelzea and I. This one started caching near Temuka and then on down to Timaru, Oamaru over Danseys Pass and then back to ChCh from Palmerston the next day. Long and winding trip in places but managed a good number of caches with only a few DNF's. Too many to remember in detail so sorry for the cut and paste logs but thanks to all the owners it was a great two days of searching new places for a good variety of caches.

Tftc. Sure is a prickly one alright! The hint was very helpful.
 
31-Dec-14
Day 3 of our 5 Day end of year geocaching trip. Today was our biggest day with 75finds and 4DNFs with most of them being park and grabs. Ouch! A prickly attribute maybe helpful here. I could see the cache immediately but took my time navigating through the prickly stuff first. The logbook was last signed in May! I was surprised with it being so close to the main road. Sorry for the late log but Thanks for the cache Smile [purple]Our cache find: #3263[/purple] | [green]Cache of the Day: 35/75[/green] | [blue]Cache of our trip: 102/235[/blue]

Reperio at 1450.

Stopped by with Roostaman today on the way to Dunedin, and with the rain on and off throughout the day...we were fortunate that it ceased for a while so we didn't have to do the mad rush out of the car every five minutes or so. Looks a nice course.

Gratias drawp.

The NZ Mega starts tonight, so I decided to spend the day travelling around this lovely area as I awaited a couple of Aussie teams who were also here for the event...

Grabbed this cache whilst travelling & taking in the fantastic views around the area... What an absolutely beautiful country to explore & photograph...

Thanks For The Cache drawp Smile (Nice looking course too)...

I visited your cache as part of a week-long self indulgent Geocaching trip from Nelson to Bluff and back again. I apologise for not leaving a completely personalised log, but I do want to thank you for the time, money and effort you put into placing your caches. Without people like you who place caches, there would be nothing for the rest of us to come and find. You are fantastic Big Grin

This cache was found as part of the New Zealand MEGA 2012 Event trip.

A rather wet morning. Having done caches with similar hints, we had our expectations of where the cache was. However, finding it was a slightly different story. Good hide. Thanks drawp for the cache.
