Kinder Surprise #1 (Canterbury) Riccarton, South Island, New Zealand
By dan.reilly on 06-May-11. Waypoint GC2VNBZ

The time has come to put this series to rest. Thank you for finding them.

Solved this one at home in preparation for our Mainland cache raid. Good hide and an easy find but had trouble reading the numbers for the clue TFTC.

Found on our visit to Christchurch. Thanks for taking us all over the place.

I have no idea why I ended up on the wrong side of the road but I did while La Vista walked away with the prize. TFTC

Cache mate was heading in different direction from me but didn't stop me finding it, signed log in car as another kinda busy area to be today. 3/7

Nice quick solve and find, must try and find time for the rest now. TFTC.

Solved the puzzle with a little bit of research back home in Auckland. Today we went on a Kinder Surprise hunt. Found this one just before dark. One more to go, then on to the Final. Thanks.

Nice one!

Quick find by youngest on the way to tower Junction. TFTC.

A first of the series. Good puzzle and nice quick find. TFTC

I seem to have followed Biggles travels to a few caches today. Also first of the series for me although I have found caches using the containers before. Santa can't be American because he always used to leave one in my boy's Christmas stockings. They always remind me of the wee plastic squares in the cereal packs when I was a kid which we broke the various pieces off and constructed something similar and were amazed. TFTC #2509

My first 'Kinder Surprise' cache. Number 1, a good place to start and nice and easy too. Certainly learned a few things here. As I'm off to visit the US in a few days, I'll remember not to take any KS treats with me! TFTC, Biggles.

Nice and easy quiz and find. TFTC

A clever series. TFTC

Great cache - enjoyed working out the final - Busy place but easy find as most of the muggles were racing by - SL TFTH

In the area today getting supplies and managed to stop by and pick it up. Took 20 minutes longer than I would have liked but the car load of teens parked right next to GZ were in no hurry. TNLN Thanks

#505: Nice Day, Nice Hide!


I had solved this one a few weeks ago, but am just now getting around to making the grab. This really helps my cache-a-day streak (now on day 36)! I biked to GZ "on my way" to work, and as I approached, the Lawnmower Man was busy doing his up-and-back thing right in front where the coords were taking me. Luckily, it was a long, thin strip he was working on, which gave me ample time to make the grab, sign, note the info on the cache, and replace. It helped that he had to empty his bag at a strategic moment.


SL/TFTC!

Last one found before the final. Easy find. tftc

Spent a bit of time solving this puzzle on Thursday, successfully found the cache today, TFTC

Cool cache container! Out with anniecrosses in the nice sunshine.

Solved at home and completed the 'paperwork' today. TFTC

Got it at last! Note to self, get new glasses! TFTC

Enjoyed the walk and especially the research

My new temporary work building is within sight of here. In fact it took me longer to get my pen working on this cold day then to walk here and find the container. Hmm, I've just remembered about the 10 digit number I forgot to grab, so looks like I'll be going back soon anyway!

3645. A quick find for our first Kinder Surprise. We did have to look hard to read the 10 figure number though - our eyes are not as sharp as they once were!
Thanks

Quick find on the way passed on a not too busy morning. Quick solve on the puzzle with some interesting info. Thanks.

TFTC. It seems that there has been some really great treasure hidden within these yellow eggs historically. I was pleased just to see the container and paper within.

First one of these containers I can recall ever seeing. Now to go find the others.

An easy wee research assignment to start with.
I'm sure you could have simplified the math.

First cache of the Kinder series tonight. Nice quick find after dark. Cheers Gav [8256]

It makes sooo much difference when you aren't 3 minutes out!
Nice epiphyte

Second cache of the series found. This time at least I remembered to write down the clue for the final. Cheers!

I had a day of caching (and orienteering) planned so when these caches were published in the part of town I was going to be in I got stuck in and solved them before hitting the sack. And with no responsibilities this morning I left earlier than previously planned to fit these in as well - hoping for a FTF or two but expecting to be well and truely beatten to them. Tried to find #2 first without success, so was pleased to find this one straight away. Opened the cache to get an FTF surprise. Appreciated the interesting information on Kinder Surprises. The kids always ask for them, but I refuse to buy them - I think they are overpriced. But then again they do make good micro cache containers so maybe I'll relent now and again. TFTC.

Published

It helps when you correctly enter the co-ordinates of the final into your GPSr! Was heading for what looked like a likely place but culd get access - now know why!

2nd Made hard work of this , DR pointed out the error after we had used brute force ! One of the most famous is a , and . when the error sent a satalite into the sun . At least ours was just a few m out and did not cost millions of $. To fit with the style of the day - did not bother to write down the numbers TFTC LGM
