By Tramper Ted on 12-Dec-10. Waypoint GC2GBM1

[font=Comic Sans MS][green]Has anyone seen the TBs which are still logged into the cache?

[/green]

I have a feeling Zork took Priscilla. She wanted to go to Australia.

Thats it for another year!

TB Drop. Please if anyone is going overseas for the holidays, I have a couple of bugs that need to leave the country.

Looking forward to meeting other cachers. This will be my first Eventcache, and also a good opportunity to release my TB Series out into the wild. See you all this afternoon.

Having a great time at this event. At the moment watching the cache throwing. Thanks for hosting another fantastic event!

Great event once again, Tramper Ted. Thanks for the lovely relaxing afternoon. Nice to see so many familiar faces.

Great caching up with everyone - I hope the next one wont be quite so hot

Thanks Jim, Jill and Ted for organising another great christmas party.
Hope you all enjoyed the Dutch apple pie.

Fabulously festive fiesta. Thanks Mr and Mrs TT for organising such a great day. Our 300th cache

Many thanks for all the effort TT team in organising. Great fun and nice to catch up with familiar cachers and meet some new ones. Found a lovely spot in the shade and cool under the trees, very nice and relaxing. TFTE. #694

What great weather and what a great event. The whole GT clan had a really great day. In the words of my 6 year old, "This was the best day ever, more than fun, it was super fun". Thanks for a great day out.

Very hot day so had to cut it a bit short. Didn't get to meet the people I wanted

Many thanks for great event team TT. Great to catch up with familiar cachers and meet some new ones. I will have to brush up on my cache tossing skills before the next one. What a nice way to spend a hot Sunday

9.30pm. Home again after briefing The Pud on the events of the afternoon. Had a great time meeting cachers we knew and ones we didn't know. Its a major geocaching social occasion and we are very grateful to Jill & Jim for yet again organising such a successful event. Many thanks.
Merry Christmas to you all!

Thankyou for organising this event. My sister and I had a great time and made some new friends, and our grandparents had a good time too. Thankyou for taking us Cabhassett.

What a great family event... happy to have made the effort after a very busy weekend for the little Rhodzrunners... especially for Mrs Rhodzrunner taking out the women's cache toss competition (Valerie & Beatrice watch out)... Nice to catch up with you all at our second event... Merry Xmas to you all

Thanks for a great event. We had a really good time and thanks to TT for all their hard work. Best wishes for a Happy Christmas.

Thanks for organizing. Great to meet some of the people behind the names.

#218: Yeah! Our first FTF (of sorts...hehehe). Great fun meeting everyone and seeing some familiar faces.

Looking forward to next year!

Thanks to the TT team for another great Xmas function. Each year the group is getting bigger. Nice to see known faces again and also many new faces.

My first event. Thanks Jill & Jim. What a great group of people.

Another outstanding event, glad to be part of it. Nice to see friends new and old.

Thanks for the event!!! Had heaps of fun. And thanks for letting UGTME & Myself use your BBQ [:-)]

Late, but that does not take away from the fun of the day! Thanks much fo rthe fun of gathering us together.

Sorry for the late entry. Attended last year and had a great time, so this was an obvious event to attend again! I won a beautiful geocoin . . . Woohoo!! Thanks for the lovely time!

Had a lovely afternoon - realy wasn't well at the time, so couldn't join in the cache throwing and barely made it up hill to find Santa, however enjoyed just lazing in the shade catching up with friends, with the kids (Alianne of Tortal & UGTME) looking after me. Thanks

After a quick trip back from Tongariro, I was really happy to be back in time to attend another great (and bigger!!!) Tramper Ted Christmas Event. Again big thanks to mr and mrs tramper ted for the great organisation. The kids had a fantastic time which unfortunatly had to be cut slightly short to get to the christmas carols at vector arena. TFTE

What a weekend. Left Auckland to head south on Friday after work, had about 4 hours sleep and then headed to the Tongariro Crossing. Struggled through 85+kph wind and rain that actually came up the side of the mountain. Headed back to Auckland this morning, and arrived home shortly before this event was starting. Wasn't going to miss this event though as it is always a highlight of the season. Caught up with a few friends we have missed over the last few busy months - wished we could have circulated and talked to more (have watched the attended logs and a lot of people we didn't even get around to see there) but we were just too tired - didn't even rush off to try and be the first to find santa, and that's not like me . I could try and blame my poor throw in the cache throwing competition on being tired and aching, but truth is it was probably my best throw yet! Anyway, thanks Jim and Jill - well organised as ever and a great fun event. And as an added bonus it was our 2000th cache find - 2000 in just under 4 years... slow and steady wins the race right? Thanks for the event!!!

5363 Another awesome Christmas Campaign... many thanks to Jim, Jill and TED for organising. Great to meet lots of new cachers... and catch up with old friends. Merry Christmas to all Loved the Dutch Apple Pie....Yummy!

This one became more of a drive by for me unfortunately Signed the log and had just dashed off to grab a nearby puzzle and it was not long after that that last night's dinner wished to make another appearance. Felt really bad (literally) for leaving but I had no choice. Hope to attend proper for next year - sounds like it was a great day as expected.

Bug drop

Attended together with my dad, KiwiLeon.

Just wouldn't be Christmas without the annual TramperTed do in Cornwall Park. We had a great time thanks and it was nice to meet new cachers and catch up with old friends as always. Thanks to Jim and Jill for organising.

See you all at Waharau for the BBQ campout (GC2K6GF)

And so it was the 5th Christmas Campaign was held on a beautiful sunny Auckland day! A record of approx. 100 people turned up - wow, this event gets bigger every year. Thanks to Seattles Best and Cabhasset(?) for the two big bags of lollies for the scramble, to Leon for the yummy pie, to TK for the jam & preserves, Zork for bringing along the huge Jeep/Coin collection, and to all those who came along to make the day a success.

The throwing competition was won by Mike from Fuzzy NZ - a record 25 metres, now thats a record to beat (sorry XC your reign has been overthrown), and Mrs Rhodzerunner 17.54 metres.

YuGeo generously donated one of their specially designed Geocoins, and this has been won by Seattles Best (Sp8s designed a random number draw). Even though Team TT is shifting, we will be back to host next year's event, never fear!

Probably one of the annual 'must attend' events on the geocaching calendar. Great fun for all the family and everyone enjoys the format. Good catching up with everyone again. Many thanks again to Tramper Ted, as usual. Lets hope we can carry on the tradition!
Cheers, M@

Great weather, great food, great company and a chance to meet some fellow cachers that have been on our 'we must meet them' list. Thanks guys for a wonderful event.

Made a late afternoon decision that we could leave the kids in charge of our christmas tree farm and headed for the Christmas Campain. Arrived after most of the organised activities and spent a relaxed early evening catching up with many of our caching friends. Thanks to all involved.
Kiwicouple's Event Geocoin visited.
TIN TIN TIN event geocoin dropped off to be taken on further by Rosmar.

A great first event, thanks to Tramper Ted for organising. Was cool to put faces to some of the names that keep coming up, even in my short time geocaching.

A great event as usual, what will we do next year??? Good to catch up with everyone, old freinds and new.

Thanks for putting on such a great event, great to meet many of Auckland's geocachers.

Awesome Awesome Awesome event. Sorry we had to leave early, another function to attend, its that time of year I guess. Great to meet new and old faces, brilliant time to catch up with everyone. Have a fantastic Christmas. TFTE!!

Thanks again for that lovely event. You guys did a great job organizing this event and making it fun every year. Really nice to meet and catch up with so many geocachers that usually only read in your logs.

I've made it back to Auckland so see no barriers stopping us making it.

We intend to be there, with one or two grandchildren. Looking forward to the event. Thanks.

Have a great day everyone! regret unable to make it, as will be in Wellington for family celebrations.

Cant make it unfortunatly, family funeral to attend on the same day, have a good one all!

Finally we should all be able to make it, best intentions for the last two years but something has always clashed.

TB Drop Priscilla likes the sound of a Xmas party! Sorry to hear about your son Biggles NZ, hope he recovers for Christmas.
The bear has had nose and mouth surgery recently, but should be recovered by the weekend!
Please remember a $2 shop gift to add to Santas Sack (one in if you want to take one out). Best brush up on your nursery rhymes, hint, hint.
See you at the weekend.

Planning on it - sounds like fun

Unfortunately my son was in a car accident last week and is needing a lot of care and attention, so I won't be coming up to Auckland at this time. Maybe next year.

Will certainly accept the invitation to the annual TTCC

I plan to be there with family in tow, but then again they may decide to stay at home...

Yes thanks we will be there! Looking forward to it.

Not sure I will get up there for this one but might find a few caches to throw anyway - it can sometimes be tempting lol.

Date added to the diary. Look forward to it... perhaps will get some training in for throwing the cache....

What, again?------ 2 attending

Would have loved to be there, but we're in Germany over Christmas/New Years Eve. Have fun guy's. We'll be thinking of you and NZ summer, while we'll we walking around German Christmas markets clothed in thick layers
