The Scotts ( South Canterbury ) Lyalldale, South Island, New Zealand
By Bitsprayer on 12-Sep-10. Waypoint GC2F3XV

A fine sunny morning to wander down a few side roads and find caches. TFTC

A summertime trip to the South Island, what could be better. Having flown to Christchurch and then driven to Timaru yesterday, today I was out with one of my favourite Geocaching teams in the morning, and then running around by myself this afternoon. My travels tomorrow have me back up to Christchurch for a night to see a band play, and then up to Kaikoura for a couple of nights to see the same band play again. Along the way I'll be looking for Geocaches, and here's one I found. All good here, the cache was found safe and well. --- Thanks to Bitsprayer for placing and maintaining this cache. I enjoy each and every cache I find, and it is only with Geocachers like this creating them and placing them out in the world that this wonderful game continues. [DGSc-Bulk] tagging to help me generate a list for GC30AD8 - DGSc Challenge

Last one for the day, Merry Christmas

Such interesting history told on the board - what a life. Cache hiding place is now quite overgrown but it was easily moved aside and the cache spotted. TFTC

Theres a bit of local history that probably more geocachers read than anyone else. TFTC # 19,668

Thanks for alerting us to lical historical points. Interesting area. Tftc

Thanks for the caches Bitsprayer. Cruising around the area today with Hal2929 picking up new and not so new caches. Visiting places previously unheard of.
Quick find here.

On a roadie with Kiscardi getting some caches. Great area. Thanks.

Nice quick find here, TFTC!!

Enjoying the drive on the back roads getting caches

Another interesting spot.I planned a ski trip with hubby and friends. Then I had a couple of biopsies dine on my arm. So no skiing for me so I decided to cache instead. Thank you Bitsprayer for this cache.

======== NZ Mega 2021 ========
Planning for the NZ Mega 2021 event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, October 2021.

I am back in Waimate with my snail shell and it is time to sign off the rest of the caches that were published at the end of last year. It was nice to travel over all sorts of roads and by owning a Holden I was able to go through all those Fords.

Cheers for the cache.

Beautiful abandoned house behind this cache, again loading my brain up with history. Nice to have a clean new logbook double wrapped! Thanks for the cache!

New log book - Bitsprayer

#18247. Interesting bit of history. Log too wet to sign so took a photo. TFTC.

Found with StreetWalkerNZ on day one of a 4 day trip down south to Oamaru, a consolation holiday for us, as in a COVID-19 free world, we would currently be in Seattle .
Another piece of history that caching has shown us today. Couldn't sign the log book as it was too wet, took a photo instead. TFTC.

Bit wet tftc

An interesting stop off point. Thanks for placing a cache here. It needs some maintenance though.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Met Kakariki. TFTC

I would have never known this was here if it wasn't for this cache so thanks

Nice to have a geocache here to make us take a detour and learn something of the history of the area. Found with AorakiSheep.

Great spot

With sal and Dan

Found on a day's outing to Mt Nimrod. TFTC.

Found it great history

Would never have come here, or indeed noticed this place to stop had it not been for your cache. Thanks. Very interesting

The Scott family certainly have their feet firmly planted in this area. Almost overshot the garden as I drove down this back road. Winning a draw in the land ballot certainly helped this family.

Yahayyyyy found it with the help of my new gps thingy, maps dont do it any more for me

Good one...read the history, found the cache. thank you.

Nice history, thanks.

quick find while working in the area tftc

sorry could not find it, I spent 20 mins looking for it will try again sometime as I cycle past quite regular.

We enjoyed the day caching in this area

Tftfun

So many caches done to remember all, but got a kick out of all that we found (0ver 600 in 8 days)

Nice easy find. Some good swaps in here - made a trade, thank you

Early morning cache, quick find tftc

Found in be dark on a early start after staying at the Masonic Hotel in St Andrews.

Another interesting historical site - Scotts who were Irish! TFTC

TFTC! Found with purdiepurdie on a caching expedition.

TFTC. A nice way to remember locals from the community. flobb's was so busy looking for something else that she wacked her head on the corner of the information board!
flobberworm! and purdidepurdie out for a few days caching play.

TFTC garden was a suprise.

Good quick cache find while heading north towards Timaru. SL TFTC

A quick find thanks. Took the TB.

"Odd place for a cache in the middle of a bland stretch of road?" Then I saw the wee garden. A nice touch. I would have driven straight past without noticing this. TFTC SL dropped tb.

Interesting spot. TFTC

Loved the farmer who asked us two questions: 1. "Are ya lost?" and 2. "Oh, it must be that geo-thing is it?" Hopefully our sheepish grins didn't give too much away...

Interesting history, thanks for sharing TFTC.

Quick find. TFTC.

Found it. TFTC!

Easy find.

Another interesting countryside spot and proof of the effectiveness of glyphosates. TFTC.

TFTC Bitsprayer!

Nice quick grab at an interesting wee sight

Quick find. Garden has been cleared but cache okay but exposed.
