The Grassy Knoll ( North Otago ) Alma, South Island, New Zealand
By Bitsprayer on 06-Feb-10. Waypoint GC23PBA

i had no luck with this one. My GPSr led me to a stone wall and a little beyond. At the stone wall a shrub has obviously been cut away, not too recently but on the other hand it has been a while since the cache was last found.

done it's dash. - Bitsprayer

Searched but couldn't find a cache, darn it.

Travelling around the world with Dartmoor Deliverer to help her celebrate taking early retirement!

NB Dont forget our Devon UK Mega 2017 this August in the beautiful East Devon area of our county. UK Megas are over one week full of events and geocaching - a wonderful way to enjoy our county!

Nope nothing here. We looked for ages and widened the search to no avail.

Travelling around the South Island.
Looking at our wonderful home land.
Weather has been improving every day. Wonderful to travel.
No TB here

A brisk walk up the Grassy Knoll. Doully found the cache. Took TB and placed in "Cycle Trail" GC3DFYN... **TFTC**

Found with Murazor
Log will follow

Greetings from Krakow, Poland!

Another day of going southwards together with Lady Murazor. Today we got from Oamaru to Dunedin finding quite a few geocaches along the way - and this one was one of them. It is quite weird to go south and to have the sun behind the back at the same time, at least for an European...

This find was quick and easy.

No trade.
Thank you for this cache and greetings from Kraków, Poland.

Heading south for a wee family holiday. Family caught a cheap early flight down to Dunedin this morning...and will spend the day exploring Dunedin attractions...whilst I drive down to meet them...and find a cache or two along the way!
A surprisingly quiet spot with a busy road nearby. Thanks for making me stop. Cheers.

The grassy knoll had lots of wet grass, nice place to visit in the dry (I would assume) cheers

Picked up the tb. found after a short search. nice hide. On a 11 day caching trip around the south island. Log signed as b&p.Tftc Bitsprayer. Find # 3650

great cache many thanks, drop off feral rabbit travel bug for his next stage in his adventure

This morning started out with CITO in Dunedin and then headed up to the Oamaru CITO with Eve07. Great fun day out with good haul of caches and rubbish

2nd time here looking for this one and after a bit more experience it was an easy find on a beautiful Spring day. Picked up the Geo Coin. TFTC

Found today with BDP82. Dropped off TB that wants to go south. Good hide. Thanks for the cache.

Found with my mummy

Tftc

.spending the night in oamaru to knock of a few caches and help me get a 100 for the month , this was my first proper lot of night caching just sticking to the back roads rather than the town

I was expecting a DNF for this one after the last couple of logs but no was a quick find in the dark will have to give my prodigy KJR a few more lessons in caching ,cache in good order tftc

Had a good look but no luck.

DNF...too much traffic and phone almost flat

After doing the opposite earthcache I walked up this grassy knoll. When I arrived at the geozone it appeared that the wall has suffered a bit. I hope it wasn't done by geocachers. The cache was well hidden but with the hint it was a quick find.
TFTC!

Heading up to Aviemore and after not finding this one first time round as I was a bit dubious about pulling stones on this wall I decided to leave it and investigate further with someone that had found this earlier this year. A successful find this time with Challispoint and happy that no stone was damaged in this wall by us. TFTC

Awesome time caching in the area during the long weekend with Eve07. TFTC

'Just visiting the area of Kakanui for a few days . What a lot there is to do here with sea and estuary and wildlife reserves it's amazing. Also an opportunity for a few caches. Thanks to the owners for bringing us to such a lovely spot

Another quick find on our way to Dunedin.
TFTC!

Thanks for taking me there. Easy find. TFTC

Quick Plato and grab as we head north. TFTC

Mega trip to NZ with vipema, Veke68 and Katsukka, logged as TVVKFIN. We stopped here on our way back to CHCH from Mount Cargil. Thanks for the cache.

Long time dream came true and we could visit New Zealand. NZ Mega was our maingoal and we had time to find others too. We travelled together with Veke68, Katsukka and tanjuli (+husband) and had great time. We used TVVK Fin (that is tanjuli, vipema, Veke68 and Katsukka) in mostly logbooks to save space.

Thanks for the cache.

Greetings from Finland.

Day #6 geocaching in NZ in good company (=tanjuli + husband, vipema, Veke68 & Katsukka = TVVK-FIN in the logbooks, most of the time), today we headed to Dunedin and back to Christchurch again. Had a great time, enjoyed the mostly sunny day and found a lot of caches + saw so many interesting/beautiful places.

Thank you!!!!

Caching holiday in New Zealand with Tanjuli, Vipema and Katsukka continues and today nice trip from Christchurch to Dunedin and back. Lot of kilometers but many nice caches and of course couple of very old caches too.

We logged mostly only TVVK-FIN to save space in the logbook.

Thanks!!

On Tour together with Sabe73 as Team "TheBros" around South Island to visit some nice spots.
We also visited this location and could find the box almost quickly.
Thank you for showing us this place and of course for the Cache.

cache find #3756 An early morning drive from Dunedin, and heading to Christchurch. We stopped by to find this cache and do the nearby earthcache. found the cache easily. TFTC.

Took a wee bit longer than what it should of and a clever hide. TFTC.

A quick find whilst attempting the nearby EarthCache. A nice little spot. TFTC!

On a road trip with VDH56 and I.C.U. and this was the first stop so good to get a smiley face.

Good start to our day of geocaching. Good find, found it with p&vee.

Was driving past and thought "now there's a place that should have a geocache". So I pulled over, whipped the phone out and sure enough.......
The cache was soon in hand. TFTC.

Good hide

another find, thanks again Bitsprayer!

Quick find on our way to Ranfurly to visit family. Thanks for the cache.

Quick snd easy find . Tftc

Thanks to all the owners of the geocaches that we found today on our way to Moeraki and Oamaru.
TFTC and greetings from Belgium.

Found this cache today while we travelled from Dunedin to our Motel @ Oamaru. We made some stops to visit geocaches on our way. This was a good found!
In many caches I logged with my own TB STAMP. You can discover it! It's a real TB!

HeerHennik,

Thought this would be easy but no luck.

Hope the stones aren't being removed by searchers. That would be sad. A good search

Day 3 of our 5 Day end of year geocaching trip. Today was our biggest day of our trip with 75finds and 4DNFs with most of them being park and grabs.

First cach I have found, very fun

Spent the day geocaching on the drive from Christchurch to Dunedin. Resulted in 156 finds. Quick find. Signed log. TFTC!

Quick find Great spot TFTC

We are staying at Rakaia Gorge this week, and we decided to spend a day travelling south so we could complete 2 Auckland challenge caches. For the 'So Far Away Challenge' we needed to find 10 caches that are 1000km or more from home. And for our Full Geocaching Licence we needed to find 50 caches in a day that are at least 1km apart. We have also been wanting to visit Moeraki Boulders (which also happens to be 1001 kms from home), so we had to time our trip around the tides. The 8.30am low tide meant we had to leave very early to travel 220kms from Rakaia Gorge to Moeraki , then find at least 10 caches further south before caching our way back north.
We had a very enjoyable day exploring further south than we have travelled before, clocking up close to 500kms, finding 69 caches along the way, and achieving both the challenge cache goals we had set.

After getting the answers from the nearby earthcache we crossed the road to The Grassy Knoll for a quick Trad.
Thanks for your part in helping make our day so much fun.

Our gps well out on this one... Had to read some comments to get clues. TFTC

Hard to get out of the car when it's raining! Short stroll and cache was in hand thanks Bitsprayer 4Tc:)

My last cache for the day on my way to Oamaru. An easy find TFTC

12:30
Found during a nice sunny day. Walk to the ocean beach.
Here was still very nice weather but, the weather change very fast, and after an hour there have been a strong rain.
TFTC

Geograndad did the honours in finding this one. Found with Aoraki Sheep.

We all headed to different parts of the wall but it was geograndad who came up with the smiley. Found with debsnz

Nice hide, even using the inaccurate phone GPS. Geosenses worked well TFTC

Found with Chosen1978. A quick find along the wall. TFTC

quickly found with granville86a and off home, TFTC

Found this one this time. TFTC

What a nicely hidden cache, tucked into a great spot and this very nice memorial nearby. After too many caches at the base of posts in long grass, this was a great pleasure and deserves a favourite point. Thanks Bitsprayer.

A quick saunter across the newly mown grass and along the wall soon had it found.
TFTC

Another spot that we normally drive by without a second thought, thanks for making us stop.

TFTC

everyone says this was easy but i struggled. took a wee while but found it in the end. Great hiding spot!!! TFTC

RuruNZ had stopped before the knoll and we accessed it via the fenceline off a driveway. Think the wall looks more like the ones in Christchurch that have suffered in the quakes. Glad to see this memorial has a lot of open space for use at Anzac Day parades and we aren't doing a multi with info needed from it. Not that I don't mind doing that. It is always good to see the names of our heroes.

Fellow cachers pulling in as we were pulling out so quick howdy and then off. Collected an FTF here a few years ago for an earthcache, that earthcache was one of the very first in the country too.

Found on our short but Mega trip across the ditch. we flew in to Christchurch on Friday, drove to Dunedin on Saturday, cached on Sunday, drove back to Christchurch on Monday and flew home on Tuesday. Tiring, expensive and well worth it.

Coords had us a little way away (it was very overcast) but there was only one hide it could be.

Heading north towards home after a great weekend at NZ's first MEGA in Dunedin. Put faces to many names - and met lots of other fellow cachers. More of the MEGA mob met here!!! Neat to recognise the cachers. TFTC.

Reperio at 1120.

This was another of the many stops made today with Roostaman on the way from Timaru to Dunedin for the mega event, and even though this was a quick stop, it was a nice memorial to stop by.

Gratias Bitsprayer.

Find # 4379 and a total of 113 today with Marcus Vitruvius on the 3rd day of our NZ Mega trip, on the way south from Timaru to Dunedin. Another nice cache and hide and a quick find then on the way again. TNLNSL TFTC Bitsprayer,

This was one of 69 caches for the day along with bogonghazy enroute from Oamaru to Dunedin for NZ Mega. We had sunshine, rain, snow and wind throughout the day. But still got to enjoy a greats days caching. Thanks to the CO and greetings from Oz.

Found with Sully1 on our third day in this beautiful country.
Today we headed from Oamaru to Dunedin, enjoying even more of this scenery
and friendly Kiwis, and finding a great variety of clever and educational caches along the way.
Thanks again Bitsprayer, nicely hidden

Found by The Empire with tackle_head
Day three of the trek south to the NZ Mega.
