done it's dash

A quick find. I have always driven past here on the State Highway without stopping. A great beach.

Found a few caches today but I think it was this one that was wet.
TFTC.

Maybe. See Previous post.

Thank you for this cache, which I found during my holiday in amazing New Zealand. Kind regards.

Found it during my kiwi traveling around south island. TFTC

A quick pathetic jog across and log was signed. thanks bitsprayer

A quick find after parking about 200 mtrs away in clear view. Well concealed, though partly visible to a geocacher. SL - no swaps. Thanks to Bitsprayer for the cache.

4799. After a couple of extra days in Dunedin after the Mega Event this was our day for travelling back north, and this was our fifth cache find of the day. After we had found a safe parking spot beside the road, wander for a short walk and the cache was quickly found and log signed without causing any attention from muggles at the nearby beach and park. Thanks for the cache, Rodney and Iris.

A nice quick find on our way back to Christchurch

Old boots claimed the prize this time. TFTC

A quick jog over the field while the other half of the team used the nearby facilities.

Found while heading home from the Mega

Last day in Dunedin for Sully1 and I as we visited as many caches as we could before making our way to Oamaru for the last night in NZ. The cold fierce wind today didn't deter us and the range of hides was once again a large one.
This was a nice find, thanks again Bitsprayer, Sully got this one

Found along with bogonghazy after the Mega Event, while picking up as many as we could before leaving Dunedin and beginning the trek towards Christchurch and the inevitable trip home. Sadly the weather had begun to turn on us this morning, but like true Ozzie troopers we continued our NZ assault armed with raincoats. Thanks to the CO for placing this cache, and for bringing us here.

Tftc

Had to go to the hint for this. So many places to hide. Found in a place I had looked.

Another great find in the hail on the Emvy_Us / Waiiti20 mega tour of the Southern South Island. TFTC

9886... Made the short walk over to Sandy Pines with ishoot, found with Flowernz and tikitour, nice to catch up once again, TFTC.

Got caught in a hail storm here and, despite the size of the pine trees, got no respite from the weather. Was agian wondering to myself why I was out there caching wearing shorts! TFTC

Nice little walk to the trees and quick find. The sea on the way in was looking a bit wild - but what a lovely place waikoaiti is tftc

Here in Dunedin for the MEGA , enjoying the sights and all the caches of course! Nice find in the forest. TFTC

Another nice stroll to GZ, by the time we got there the find had already been made, so it was a simple task of logging, thanks for this one.

Think we took the long way to this one, par for the course for us. Ran back across oval holding hands in the freezing cold just as snow about to hit ..... So romantic ( well maybe not ) tftc

Short walk while travelling back up the road.

nice stroll to the cache - never seen cones before they are actually cones before! TFTC!!!

Found with Hinemoana while driving around.
TFTC

I picked the jungle route to get to this one! Luckily, finding the cache and getting back out to the road was easier. TFTC.

GPS took us straight to it, although it took a little longer to find than it should have. Found with debsnz

Neat playground nearby to have a play after finding this one. Found with Aoraki Sheep.

On a caching trip with ingidayna to Oamaru and surrounds to get 1000 finds. TFTC

This was the start of a return trip to the north of Dunedin to catch up on some we missed yesterday. Fortunately there was no sport on the reserve beside this cache so we had an unhindered time to unearth it.

Quick find on a Sunday caching trip. TFTC

Took the long walk around to find this one. It was a nice walk through the forest however. Found quickly enough, co-ords spot on. TFTC

Another cache quickly found on the way up SH1 with some small side trips to find caches. SL TFTC

found

Found after dark then walked a big loop tryin to head out to the beach road,TFTC

TFTC on lovely sunny eater sunday!!

The ground nearby must be softer to play on? TFTC

Found on a cold windy day. Cache was still in good condition which couldn't be said for several pine trees that had come down and were being taken away.

Parked up for the night in the POP part of the Waikouaiti campground. Windy and cold - just right for some exercise.
TFTC

Can anyone tell me if my TB "Travel Kiwi Bug, TB3E3DX" is in this cache. Thank you.

Found with Theresa she had a fight with wild blackberry and we found the cache.
TFTC

TFTC

Very dry grass on the fields.

TFTC

Good hide, that playing fields a bit sandy too. CoOrds spot on for me.
TFTC

A group of young muggles learning lifesaving nearby. Don't think they saw up though. Not too hard to find. TFTC

Quick find in a new part of the world for me - TFTC.

Another nice easy find on our day trip caching to Palmerston from Dunedin.

TFTC

Found with nighthawk. Tftc

Quick find, TFTC

Piece of cake yum!

TFTC

Quick find. T4TC

This was a quick find in the first place we looked, TFTC

Accidentally stumbled across this one while looking for another (in the wrong direction) Geo-caching is harder when your GPS is dead!
TFTC

TFTC

Must have been within centimetres of it when I first felt in there. Came round to the other side and tried again and there it was. Easy find on a beaut Autumn day.

TNLN. TFTC.

Found a good poking stick which helped - not sure what creepy crawlies live around here. TFTC

Easy find but thought this sports field would be busy but not a muggle in sight. TFTC

Fun find thanks. Good swaps and the beach here is lovely.

Finally a pine tree we could find a cache under! TFTC.

Found with Mr B on our run from Dunedin up to Oamaru. Quick find, thanks.

Found it on the way to Waimate. Beautiful day to top it off.

Many years ago I traveled here to play a pre season game of rugby and hadn't appreciated the size or moderness of the buildings in this area.
First to sign the replacement log it seems very strange to me that it would go missing from such a remote area.
Thanks

New container in place.

Maybe put this on your TLC list next time you're down, Bitsprayer? 4 DNFs.

Add my voice to the "it's gone" brigade.

Also could not find at what seemed like clue object

Scraped out the nearest and obvious place- wonder if it has been muggled?

PB gave the area a fairly good checking over, and then extended his search area but to no avail. The zone around GZ looks like it has been very well searched by others also. May be worth a check??

Found at 11:08 on 11/11/2010.

Out checking an orienteering course and just happened to jog past the cache.

TFTC Bitsprayer!

A quick easy find in a deserted area, in the chilly breeze, after a warm afternoon. TFTC

- The Cache Inspector TB

nice one, cheers

Dropping TB in the right cache.

Nice afternoon for caching cheers

Nice day out. No one on fields today. Sorted the missing TB and placed it in this cache.
TFTC. SLB.

Good walk across the playing field to cache. TFTC

A deserted area today. Quick find and swapped TB's - SORRY, forgot to log the one I put in (thought I had, but it doesn't seem to be in the file) - please let me know the details and I will adjust. The TB is registered to Rollercaster near Oxford in Canterbury

A quick find and an excellent area for a cache. I love the intense small of pine in this area. TFTC.

10th of the day.

Bush bashed across the dunes to this one. Great location. TFTC

Took a little hunting, and I think we took the long way in, but still resulted in a find Cheers Gav [6530]
