Park and Grab (West Coast) Runanga, South Island, New Zealand
By Moneydork on 06-Nov-10. Waypoint GC2HV3V

Unfortunately the cache seems to have gone

absolutely sure this ones gone. Had a good look but with the specific hint there was really only one likely place and it was empty

I found my way down but I come up with nothing as to what the hint said.

No luck today, I'll be back

Too much road work going on. Had to take a pass on this one.

Auf dem Weg von Hokitika über die Pancake Rocks nach Manpua, haben wir die tollen Aussichten genossen und die Caches am Wegesrand eingesammelt. Danke fürs Legen. Dieses Döschen konnten wir gut finden.
On the way from Hokitika over the Pancake Rocks to Manpua, we enjoyed the great views and collected the caches along the way. Thank you for laying. This jar we could find good

Really??????????? Not the usual park and grab. GK did enjoy himself finding this one TFTC

Thanks

Not a simple grab

Easy find but difficult to get at.

After much Bush Bashing we finally found it,but could hardly call it a Park n Grab..But hey it did give us another Smillie.TFTC

A park and grab. Yeah Right. After fighting our way through the blackberries, bush lawyer, gorse and other various undergrowth we were glad to come up with a smiley. TFTC.

Don't know if this was a good idea if you have a bit of bruised rib. But couldn't leave it after reading previous logs. So off I went.....I couldn't convince hubby to follow. I could laugh when I found it, tough my side was hurt hahaha
Would be wondering how this will be in the winter/rain!!
Thank you for this crazy hide! Favourite from me for the craziness

The title made me check who the CO was.. 'sigh.. mot him again!.. fine.. FINE!.. I'll at least give it a look!'..

Well.. a look turned into me already half the way to GZ and quite soon I had the cache in hand and logged (the hint is quite good!)..
Hmm.. how do I get out from here again....

Found at 03:16 PM - #5787

PS: Moneydork can with good conscience log Owner Mantenancen on it and clear the NM flag.. the cache is there and in great shape.

A typical Moneydork PnG - a bit of a challenge in particular after the rain in the last couple of days. But eventually found. The cache is in good condition. Thanks

[green] Drove down Friday night for a three day wages to petrol extravaganza. Doing the Blenheim - Greymouth - Westport - Blenheim loop. Drove to Reefton Friday night so I could grab some empty log books early the next morning. That done its on with the main mission. An awesome three day experience, only about 30 caches per day, but two badge upgrades, wekas, seals and penguins, an awesome coast road and coastal walk. Wonderful.
Where I come from "grab" implies speed - a bit like "snatch". Pretty much, if you know where it is you should be able to retrieve it in under 30 seconds. Down on the south island "grab" is a bit more leisurely. Cache is in good order, Moneydork; you can remove the needs maintenance attribute.

What a beauty. It's definitely there and co ordinates are correct. Cache is in good nick and I just wish I had of taken a geo coin with me to drop off. A favourite for us.

Needs a check to make sure cache still exists.

We thought we might be able to find this but we couldn't even work out where we needed to be. This was last found in March last year so we weren't sure if things have changed around here or not - there is a new gate and water channel possibly in place. Never mind we did enjoy seeing the two rabbits sitting in front of the church down the road.

Had a good look around. 8 eyes couldn't find it .

The water level was low enough to keep the tootsies dry Cheers

A little off the beaten track, KM made a quick find. Found on a weekend trip to the Coast with Kiwi Moose. Thanks for the hide.

searched around and it wasn't long before the cache was in our hands
no wet feet for us
thank you for the cache

Just a little bit more than a park-and-grab but not too difficult nontheless. Found quickly - signed log, TFTC

Not exactly our idea of a park and grab, but it was a quick find once we made our way to the correct location. TFTC

Should have read the previous logs and we may have had better luck. Next time.

We had to check the map to find our way to this one, not being familiar with the streets off the main road here. Usually we are just passing through on our way up or down the coast but today we had a good excuse to venture further afield. Thank you for the excuse to come here and TFTC.

Another find for Holymu and me on a caching day taking us West as far as we could get. With a few new caches in Runanga it was on the 'to do' list. We have never had reason to cruise the township but GZ was soon located and a brief search gave us a cache and log to sign. Lucky the sky opened just after the find TFTC

.

Glad it was nice and dry today. No swimming required. TFTC

Oh dear....lots of pleasant spots as we went to this, and we are grovelling in a drain !......Got a smilie though thanks.

Another good find while in the area on a geocaching holiday. found quickly at site. SL TFTC

Found after a bit of a hunt

Nice fun one : ) thanks for the cache

Bit of a scramble, but we came up smiling.
TFTC.

a cool spot tonight,TFTC

A bit of a scramble but went straight to it. Thanks

They sure must park in funny places on the West Coast.
TFTC

Gave up. Too much scrambling about. Had a really good luck but no luck. Church would have been a nicer place.

Rea lscramble here for a nice simple park and grab. TFTC

I was already soaked, so why not.
Ms M sensibly stayed in the car.
TFTC

TFTC. Lots of wood pigeons were watching too.

Was surprised at the amount of scrambling a "park & grab" needed.

Park and Grab - Yeah right. Decided to give it away as I was running out of time, and didn’t want to risk life and limb in the slippery conditions.

This is actually a 'Park, fall on your ass down the bank and Grab'. A lot of fun though, and I had a change of pants! TFTC.

There is words missing from the title. Park, Swear, Scramble and Grab. But yes, once committed, it's an easy find. TFTC.

Not sure of the date but I either did this New Years Eve or New Years Day. TFTC

Hardest park and grab we have ever done, but found it after a bit of scrambling. TFTC

No luck. I think the words "easy" and "park and grab" mean different things on the Coast

An area I know well. One of the houses in this area was my grandparents, and many a Sunday afternoon - along with other days - were spent here. TFTC.

Found once I forgot about it begin a PARK and GRAB.

Bitsprayer

#1544 (2/31 on a day on the Coast). More like park and scramble and grab. Interesting placement. TFTC.

Not quite the park and grab I was hoping for, but we got it in the end.

TFTC.

Out on a wee caching trip with the Pinot Noirs. Mr PN was the first to locate this one. It was a lovely cool spot on a hot day. TFTC
