Niteowls Sleepy WakeUp (West Coast) Inangahua, South Island, New Zealand
By niteowlnz on 10-Nov-10. Waypoint GC2J25F

Log book is a wad of wet paper.

Do not have time anywhere in the near future to be able to get to the cache to perform maintenance - so in fairness to all will archive the cache - thanks everyone who has visited my cache - I have enjoyed reading the logs

Another quick stop and a cache grab. The log book was a wad of wet paper, so I put in a new piece but it won't last long. Cache needs maintenance.

Found with Mporokosa (prior to it being archived.) TFTC

While roaming NZ and encountering lovely landscapes, I found this cache.TFTC

Log was wet but still managed to sign it. TFTC

2:0 Beaut morning for it. Cache paper saturated though.

Very wet paper, i didn't have any to replace it, sorry. Easy find

TFTC

Found but couldn't sign as log was soaking in water

#581 A nice cache on our NZ drive.

Today we found a total of just under 60 caches, breaking our record of caches in a day. we saw many beautiful sights and visited many nice places, New Zealand is full of these. We drove up from Greymouth to Punakaiki and across to Hanmer Springs. A long day with a lot of driving but it was definitely worth it.

Thanks to all the hiders for their caches, without you we would not be able to find these caches and some of these great spots.

All logs were signed wherever possible. Some logs were full or waterlogged and this prevented us from logging them.

Condorito

On our fourteenth day in New Zealand we drove from Greymouth to Nelson. Weather was again grey and wet, not our favourit for Geocaching )
Also we were grateful for the stop here, the fresh air and few steps outside to overcome some signs of tiredness. The target was clear and the box soon in our hands.
TFTC and greetings from Switzerland

Nice little walk from nearest parking to clear my head

Found at 02:48 PM - #5853

Found it with Team FIN [janahola, kapeka, laalaa & temyllyl]

We had fun with caching few weeks here in New Zealand. Lots of geocaches and many sort of them too. We saw awesome places, weather was pretty good all the time and people were friendly and polite. Caches were pretty similar like in our home country. Of course there were some exeptions. Nice and really scenary country!

Greetings from Finland

FIN (laalaa, janahola, temyllyl, kapeka) holiday in New Zealand. Marvelous country and nice landscape. We had fun.
Greetings from Finland.
Thanks for the cache.

Seventh day on our geo-roadtrip in New Zealand, and caching our way towards south. Logged using our group nickname FIN with janahola, laalaa and kapeka. Driving to south and heading to Christchurch Mega event. Heading south by west coast via some nice caches!

On a geoholiday road tripping to Christchurch MEGA and around beautiful New Zealand. Our four people group (temyllyl, laalaa, kapeka and myself) from Finland used group tag FIN to log the caches.

Today we drove from Nelson to Greymouth. Of course some caching on the way. This was one of todays finds. TFTC!

Welcome to MEGA Finland in 5-7 august 2016!

Got some funny looks and sounds from local bovines but otherwise easy cache to find. TFTC

Cold & dark but heaps of fun

Found on our 25 day New Zealand South Island holiday.

Apologies for the late log but with little or no internet as we travelled and only super slow WiFi in van parks I decided to log all finds on my return home.

Found on our Westward journey to Westport

A quick cache with a stop for lunch. Tftc

Ahh what awesome caches I have seen on my travels this week , from fake logs, to mint tins stuck to posts, to nanos under benches to awesome tree climbing cache hides, his week has been an awesome time to check out the new caches and of course old!! It was great to see all the different places too, like nelson, and greymouth, and Blenheim of course!! Then there was the small tiny areas, where we stopped to see earthquake museums, with of course the ''rural' caches as I like to call them. then of course there was the significance of stop offs; like the bulla swing bridge, where I went, saw and conquered there and back twice, while dad stooof o the comfort of the flat grass, smiling, waving and taking pictures Funny, but the best part about that bridge was when the people who worked there, started to come across when I was I was about half way going back ,so they had to get past, so they tilted the bridge sideways, onto its side, so then I could get past, it was pretty scary, but awesome too!! Then the bridge bounced and went side to side and swung it was really awesome! Then as they walked to the other side they were jumping and swinging from side to side, it was great fun!!:)
But anyway the caches I encoun tered on my trip were rreally good, each one was different in some way, including popmacs mint trail series in the north island, which was a really neat idea!!
Anyway, I would like to say thanks tov all the great cache owners who took their time to place all these caches Thank you and well yeah TFTCs all round

Found this cache on our way from kookier to hokitika via pancakes mountains Thank you for sharing a lot cool places with us and making our way more bearable Thanks a lot and greetings from czech republic

A road trip of sorts to rectify some Geocaching stuff. First, I've not found any West Coast/Westland caches and second I seem to be stuck on 39 Earthcaches for a while so want/need to push that number along a bit. Oh, and the small matter of getting past 3000 caches in total was also a target today after falling short on our extremely hot and bothered caching trip to Motueka yesterday.
Up at 0530 and on the road at 0615 it was an extremely long day which encompassed 16 hours of driving, 700 kms of driving, and a little bit of fuel sustenance for the thirsty Terrano! With nightowl19 in the co pilots seat and some food, water and plans to cache out to Greymouth via Pancake rocks and back (which got changed later in the day to be via Reefton)
Saw sandflies, eels, sandflies, weka, sandflies, rain and........sandflies, and much more. A great days caching
Only doing non Premium member caches to allow nightowl19 to complete all the ones I do and not have to sift through the others (also keeps the time down!)
Nice easy find, and onwards we go

P S Nightowl19 finds her first niteowlnz cache, cool

Quick find. Replaced log and bag on request of cache owner. Log is now double bagged. Please ensure is on with nothing under the lid edges. TFTC

Making our way back to Christchurch from Karamea with billiehenny and caching along the way. TFTC

We were wide awake for this one. Walked over very soggy ground after all the recent rain. TFTC

Easy find. Bag is ripped. Log a little damp.

Good quick find. TFTC

Quick stop with the trusty motorhome Matilda parked down the road a bit ...sloshed through the muddy grass to grab this one. I had my camera in hand to provide a distraction or explanation to all those muggles zipping past in their cars. Thanks for the cache.

Easy fond at side of road in rain, TFTC

Quick easy find on the way back to Christchurch. Thanks.

Poor hitch hiker. She thought we were stopping for her, only to be told "sorry love, we're here for a cache". Never mind, she got a better ride anyway. TFTC!!!

Touch and go as it started to rain, but Heafudd M was brave and made it a find. TFTC

Our eleventh find of twelve today. Easy find. Log was a bit damp and tricky to get out of container. Folded it a bit tighter to make it a bit easier for the next person I hope.

Nice easy drive by TFTC

A park and grab, another smiley...

Nice quick find here today thanks. When we used to travel down here regularly for work there were some great stories about missing this corner on the way home - not because the navigator was sleeping but because we were too busy talking! TFTC #4647

Found it together with Team Autoværn on our New Zealand tour back in 2013.
