Not going to replace

Looks like the local kids have taken more than the logbook this time The whole container is gone Will decide weather to replace soon

The log book in this one is full of muggle spam, however the cache is in place and able to be foudn / logged still.

Whipped out to find this after having lunch across the road. Cheers Gav [6518]

Called in here during a stop for some coffee while travelling south. Found after a few minutes' search, very good hide. Signed log, TFTC

New logbook added Own pen now needed as well

THE YOUNG ONES FOUND IT FUN

interesting wee find need a new log book big smoke

Quick find whilst stopped on the way to the Maniototo was eating a pie at the time TFTC, TNLN

yay =] third geocache found.

pencil needed sharpened. tftc

Easy find, nice story about Chippy the cat. TFTC

No ounces found but one cache was.

Nice hide!
TFTC

Echo the last log - a "cool" spot - the local waterwheel was encased in ice, and large stalagmites of ice grew from the surrounding grass!! After waiting for a young muggle to wander away, the cache was quickly found and logged. Thanks and cheers from Grandalf(1814)

Cool one TFTC

Easy find Very clever though.

Found while on a trip from Australia to Queenstown for a work conference with my mate Marshy (Blacklegend17) who came along for the ride. One of 220 finds for the 8 days we were on the South Island. Found while heading up to Timaru. 2 of 4 finds in town. TFTC.

Second last day of our NZ caching adventure with Quasar3671 aka The Ruddman aka Marty..... Our travels took us from from Christchurch via Queenstown for 5 days then to Dunedin and finally up the East Coast for a caching onslaught.... This cache was one find of 64 for this caching run and more than 70 for the 24th.

One of only 4 in this town.

Random. Easy find. TFTC!

Clever hide, but a quick grab if you found similar caches before. TFTC

TFTC. I also have a few of that container out. Remember the other cache that was also here before. No one around.

Wazza and the Wenches have invaded NZ on a (caching) holiday. Surprisingly the Wench is happy for BBTD and Wazza to chase caches wherever we go.
Today it was Dunedin to Christchurch. 4.5hr drive that took just over 11 hours. Would have been a lot quicker if we didn't stop every couple of km to find a cache

While the Wenches had a look in the nearby antique shop I ducked over and had a quick search for this cache. Located without much trouble.

Thanks again Big Smoke.

1400hrs Gotcha this time, how obvious and sneaky. Well done. The Italian Job was here......! Our blog www.motorhominginxs.blogspot.com

Liked the container

A quick find this time with Old Boots. On way south to Dunedin TFTC

so they past the log book to us and
showed where to put the cache back.

Dont think its my idea of fine living!

What a great hide! Really enjoyed finding this one and viewing the surrounding features at GZ. TFTC!

TFTC, quick find

TFTC

Cleverly hidden. TFTC

TFTC. CHUR.

Last one here was muggled before I got to it.

This one should be safe.

TFTC

I don't know why we had so much trouble. Even after reading the logs we still couldn't locate it. Mind you being a Saturday there were loads of muggles of which we were conscious. The Italian Job was here......! Our blog www.motorhominginxs.blogspot.com

TFTC! loved the hide, took longer than should of as caching without GPS. #49

Oops, a whole trip not logged! One of 14 for the crew today. Sorry for the late, late log!

Catching up on a few caches not logged! TFTC

Quick stop to grab the cache. Didn't have to search much - group of college kids were also on site and they located it. SL TFTC

TFTC

Found with Johnny Goes Caching.

24th(app won't log on right date). Nicely hidden. Tftc. 2nd of 14 today. A

We have found a cache at this location before, so knew where we were heading. Easily found today, then over the road for an icecream. TFTC

quick and easy, found it without using the gps. TFTC

Clever hide and container. TFTC

Stopped for a quick brew at this historical place, and a cache too.

Holidaying from Australia having a caching good time!!

Nice easy find great area to stop. TFTC

First of a number of drive-bys on the way to Central. TFTC.
Cheers,
G.

TFTC SL great spot cool house I lived in one of these a few years back in Alexandra loved it so cosy and warm great hide very clever ha ha U know who i am ah !!!!!!!!!!! Thzs bet the cousies

Very realistic cache, almost missed this one. TFTC

Great hiding spot, actually saw the cache and kept looking, didn't realise that was it til I picked it up.
TFTC!

Almost missed this one!

Great cache! As we were speed caching, neither JBcivic nor I had read the hint, so had no real indication of where to be searching. Both our GPSrs seemed to take us to a GZ slightly removed from where the cache was eventually found - after virtually all other avenues had been searched. In the end, when I finally looked in the right place, the cache was more obvious than it perhaps should have been, and I kicked myself for not having searched there earlier. JBcivic was quite surprised when I picked it up, as he had completely passed it by. TFTC - nice one! (And nice once again to find a cache not already found by W.E.K.A.)

Saw it but didn't realise it, but nick_h_nz picked it up. (Speed Caching with nick_h_nz - TFTC)

Nice theme and great cache. Go for gold (logged during the olympics!) A great introduction to the deviousness of the game for a muggle friend of mine.

Troodles and StreetWalkerNZ are the first 2 names in logbook so they must be first to find

Quick find although required some steath as a train load of muggles had arrived in town. TFTC

Well I stopped here at 4.40am on Saturday morning, But I got muggled out were about to go and check GZ then saw a person standing by the door way, so move on, and found it on the return trip.

Thanks Bitsprayer

As nofs says, been here to cache before!

Stopped for lunch so it was good to have an excuse for a stretch before we got back in the car. Good placement meant there was little chance of muggles seeing.
Thanks

A bit of controversy about who was first to find here as StreetWalker and I were the first to sign the front of the book, and nofs and ZCA must have started from the back! Once we sort out timing, we can work out who indeed was FTF. We were there before 9am and went to have a celebratory flat white at the establishment across the road as our usual haunt, the station cafe, was still closed. Word of warning, make sure you insist on a double shot...
TFTC.

#1192, FTF #41 (1/25 DUD -> CHC). Bit of confusion about who was actually FTF. Troodles and I found the well hidden cache a little before 9. TFTC.

Joint FTF with ZCA. Nice hide. Been here on caching business before too.

Joint FTF with Nofs great way to start the days caching

Great find. Live in Palmerston and see this all the time. What a great wee hiding spot.
