G for Ces (Nelson/Marlborough) Motueka, South Island, New Zealand
By Sidewaze on 03-Mar-11. Waypoint GC2PM7H

Gone. Not replacing.

Looked thoroughly.
Is there a new sign up since last find?
Or am I blind to your tricks? Hmmm
Recent logs make me wonder....

Thanks

No problems at GZ but getting there from campground was a mission. First past the circus then road closed for driver training so had to detour through orchard then buzzed by plane coming in to land. NINO TFTC

2nd find of the day. TFTC

Nice easy find on this wet and rainy Father's Day
TFTC

Was out with the family today on my
16th birthday. And I wanted to get some
Geocaches so we went for a drive mot.

Dogging the rain a went an grabbed this
One. Signed the log in the car and placed back in cache and
we were off Again

TFTC

Easy find next to airport very noisy

Nice quick one. Tftc

Glad to have the time today and being muggle free in the rain I was able to find and sign.

We were staying at Marchwood Park nearby, so a very close find. Not sure about the magnet?
Also wondered why all the black tire marks at the start of the air strip until I read the sign
about drag racing.
Thanks.

Easy find and a landmark cache for us as out son is currently studying at NAC. TFTC

Another easy find for the day tftc

Today, my road trip was gonna take me from Greymouth via Punakaiki to Motueka (near Abel Tasman National Park).
Like all the other days, I stopped for caches occasionally, most of the times when they were at interesting locations like lookouts, short walks etc. anyway...
I didn't quite get the title but that might be a language problem... What I did get was the cache. And that was a real 'quickie' (if you know what I mean).
As I am magically drawn to airport, airstrips, airfields and the like I had to go for this cache. My sideline job is with an air ambulance service with which I fly to worldwide destinations in order to pick up sick patietns and take them to hospitals with a suitable level of care...
TFTC says *kinderarzt*!

This one was out lying on the ground in full view. We put it back where we thought was sensible. TFTC!!!

This was a nice easy find for us today.I am so pleased there are a few p&g caches to find . TFTC

Was driving past so couldn't resist stopping for the cache. Thanks for the cache.

Found really fast as it was in full view, not sure if it is meant to be like that or not, last one of the day cache #1799

Quick easy find just out Motueka for a hour and had some time to kill

Quick fined TFTC

Thanks for the cache.

Nope. Failed again. Never mind.....will return again....

This was one of the most epic weeks ever, and definitely my most epic caching week ever.

Me and mum headed up on a holiday north to Nelson and very wider surrounds. In total during the trip, we found almost 500 caches! (470 odd I think, but final results are yet to be in! ) We covered about 3000 odd km I think too. Crazy! And had our absolute best caching day ever too at 160 found. Spend 9 days travelling, caching, and having the best time ever!!

So sorry about not so epic logs, as otherwise this would probably take me the rest of my life to log, especially with two big events to organise coming up! Eeek!!

Almost every single log we signed as 'Team Polak' to avoid needing to write out both usernames taking up space on logsheet - as well as precious caching time!! Haha.

Consec caching day # 704

TFTC!!

For the sake of sanity we set off with sonia26642 for a crazy geocaching trip, aiming to cache until we drop. The main destination was Nelson and the ‘surrounding’ area, but then we ended up covering a few miles in three northernmost regions, plus a few in Canterbury. We were signing/stamping the log as 'Team Polak' or ‘TP’ for the two of us on this trip to save logbook space. We found a lot of different caches, city ones, road side, park side, up a hill and on an island, and we enjoyed every single one of them. It was good to be a professional thingfinder for a few days!

We had great fun and are grateful to all CO’s who placed caches for us to find, and help restore our sanity before returning to our other non-geocaching lives!!

Come and join us the next New Zealand geocaching MEGA event!! Register your interest now at www.nzmega2015.com to receive newsletter updates and be the first to know. It will be a great event, come and be a part of it!!

This is my third or fourth attempt at this cache and I finally found it! Awesome hide, I had to be very flexible to reach it.

Hard. Took two attempts

Not many places to search, but still took a few mins to track down. Wonder what it's like standing in this spot when planes take of or land? TFTC.

#8041. A high muggle factor made for a nervous search. After a while I spotted the nice hide, then had to work out reach it. TFTC.

A different hide but very close to the original one.

So far, every time I've checked this cache it's been there, but in light of the recent dnfs it looks like I might need to check it one more time.

Had a good look around near all the hints but we got nothing either. We were also really drawing attention to ourselves as this s a very busy day.

I found a lot of rubbish but no cache...

Too much muggle traffic around so we abandoned this one, to return another day.

Checked this out again in view of the nearby works. It's still there. Stand close to that shiny rectangle and use the hint!!!!

Lemmer: That's odd!!!! More than 21,000 finds and you can't locate this one!!!! The possible search area must be all of 0.25 square metres. Guess you can't win 'em all. Checked out. It's still there.

nop. there is nothing to find for me

Faked watching planes for a while until vehicles cleared, then easy find. TFTC.

heading for home after a few geocaches in pouring rain and a supermarket run when saw this come up on Car GPS. Had to try (never mind the Froz Peas in the coolee bag). Fortunately an improved clue which helped as GZ was not GPS GZ. After a little elimination found the cache. TFTC

Had to get this one now we know it's there. Took much longer than it should. I had convinced myself it was a magnetic - no idea why. Thanks for the cache.

Stopped on the way past to check this one out. It's still there. Decided I might as well replace the log while I had the cache in hand. Added a hint.

Too tricky for me. Hopefully I'll get to get another stab at this before I go home

Second look

Nope, got me beat. Until next time....

Quick find. Thanks for the cache.

No planes today,, bit foggy. Just a man walking his dogs so once he left the hunt was on, 5 min later had cache in hand (thanx to the keen eye of my son) signed and returned to its spot,,, Thanx4tc

Finally got this one off my list now

After the DNF on my last visit to Mot I thought this needed to be corrected. Quick find by torchlight tonight and another one of those I looked there last time moments TFTC

#1059

Another letter knocked off, but I must pull my finger out and finish this series.

TFTC

Combined a day quilting with a bit of geocaching - only one activity was rained on! TFTC

3rd for the morning

Wow! Great plane-spot-spot! TFTC!

Felt a bit exposed. Might come back when there is something happening on the other side of the fence to look not so suspicious

Lovely day and a quick retrieval.

Plane-spotting is always a great cover-activity. Took the opportunity to see a few take-offs whilst I waited for a clear patch and then a quick find and replace. TFTC

I looked for ages a year or so ago - Mrs TWs spotted straight away

TFTC

Quick easy find. TFTC

Finally. quick find on the way to marahau. tftc

Had a couple of hours free while Mrs N did some serious cafe study. Managed to nab a few. Really nice place to cache around on a hot hot (well at least to a bloke from Dunedin) day. Thanks.

I was out tiki touring around Mot in the wee small hours of this morning. Took the time to swing by and grab this cache. Took a wee while of hunting before the log was in hand. Have to admit it is about as close as I think I'll come to this motor sport. TFTC

fast one at the drags ;D

Found between traffic,on a very busy road.TFTC

Found it in night mission during my kiwi traveling. TFTC

Evening cycling trip with veverek.|

tftc

A quick stop on our way to find newly published caches, but not such a quick find after all. Eventually the cache was in hand though and we were soon on our way again. We are slowly but surely working our way through this great series. TFTC.

The plan was to have a relaxed day around Mot and do some caches on the way. It turned out to be a busy and rewarding day after the notifications piled in Three DNFs always intrigue and while passing on the way to new placements why not have a look? Not a quick find but eventually the cache was in hand and log signed. I like the series and am slowly working my through them. Great effort and word-smithing. TFTC

didn't find today
thought i saw where it might have been. will wait 4 another found it b4 a second look.

Felt to exposed while looking for this one, sadly have to log a DNF

Very exposed with a bit of traffic going by. No sign of a cache for us.

Rather a quick find by Annie, which was nice because there were a good few DNF's today. We've done a lot of these now on a number of trips to the region. TFTC

Well, we have tired the CO with our DNF logs . Of course , we had to return.....to find the blighter where we had "looked" before . Oh dear ! Yay. We ticked off the series. Thank you.

Cool little find TFTC

Gave the cache a good ol' dry out, inserted a waterproof log and moisture absorber. Should be a much more pleasant experience now.

Nice hide! Unfortunately the log is very soggy and was unable to scribe my name. Needs a new Log!!

Nice Hide

Wondered if we could complete the series which for us has been at times fustrating. This is the only one left....and we still have no idea !! 3 visits now so I guess we will not stop again. Thanks for the rest.

Good Hide TFTC

Found thanks - recording paper very soggy (Thanks for cache) found easily without GPS

#571, found during my kiwi traveling. Log in june, because I was without net. TFTC

Found while enjoying a caching expedition in the region on a cracker still morning. TFTC

quick and easy tftc

Found on Easter Sunday with furpurse, Mum & Dad. #25/36 finds for the day, second consectutive day for breaking my daily record.
Fast find after watching a plane full of jumpers take off. TFTC

Found this one a little while ago but didn't have a pen. Passing by and thought we'd log it (this time traveling with a pen!). Thanks.

Nice and easy thanks

TFTC

Quick easy find!

We are spending a few days with our daughter and her family in Motueka, and showing them a few of the local caches. Our son-in-law is training as a pilot, so this cache seemed very appropriate. Watched him take off then walked over to find the cache. Thanks.

# 5344

Find number three for today.
