Home Invasion (North Otago) Kurow, South Island, New Zealand
By drawp on 17-May-11. Waypoint GC2WCZF

Done its dash

No luck.

I couldn’t believe it when I found it with all the previous DNFs on this cache. The cache is very well hidden and I found it after walking that hill. I almost didn’t bother looking for it as I was tired and it was getting late. Pleased that I made the effort

Is it still there???
We could not find it anyway. But good luck to the next person…

Looked.but not luck

Looked under all the rock piles but nothing to be seen

Can't find

Was not there

Didn't find it on the way up. Had another go on the way down. Only found by pure chance as I stopped the color of container. Definitely not where I was looking.

??

Searched all around, then walked to the top and back and searched again to no avail. All we could find was rocks, more rocks and lots of attacking prickly bushes

Found out in the open. Re-hid. TFTC

No luck for us, is this really a 1 1/2 terrain rating?

Had a good look for this one, but didn't locate any likely hiding places. Eventually decide to call off the search and move on.

This made me laugh when I saw it. Hidden in plain sight! TFTC

Nice and easy. TFTC.

Nice

Wasn't even looking and came across it at the end of our walk

It was cool

Nice hint. TFTC

Cache OK

Quick find. TFTC found with heyhaynz

After diner we made a little walk halfway the mountain. Quickly found. TFTC.

Coordinates led us to the spot, but may be buried under a recently felled tree. Recommend owner comes and inspects.

May be buried under felled tree?

In Kurow for the long weekend and today's geoadventure started off with a walk up Kurow Hill. Plenty of snow on the hills but a beautiful winter's day and hardly a cloud in the sky! This was the first find of the day TFTC

Thanks for the hunt!

Decided to make a trip to Duntroon over the Dansey Pass. Lots of logs to find and sign and this one was one of them. Day and it begins again. TFTC

Great hide tftc DKLP

Nope

I'm with spoonz2 who is back here with me to finish off what she didn't complete here last month. I'm here to do them all. This one was found quicker than expected.

nice quick find and the first of the day on a geoadventure in Kurow tftc

This is right at the very beginning of the track. Good feeling to have one under the belt before really starting upwards. Mysterious name though, I have no idea what it's about.

A quick find after we waited for some walkers to pass on TFTC

Looks like the view from the top would be good

Lots of scrabbling around in the many piles of rocks but we eventualy found it. Tftc.

??

Nowhere to be seen

A very very windy day for caching but still enjoying the views. TFTC

Ever since arriving in Kurow 3 days ago I had promised myself that I would climb the Kurow Hill - after all there are 7 caches on it. Nice easy find as I started my climb. Thanks for the placement drawp.

All goods.

No sign of a suitable location

Logged with GCDroid. Taking advantage of a long weekend and camping down at Aviemore. Snuck out for a bit of solo caching on a lovely day. Re-hid slightly as it was completely exposed. Tftc

Found sitting out in the open have tried to hide - TFTC

About to tackle the hill!

Found during sunrise. Greetings from Germany.

Enjoyed the walk up Kurow Hill. Easy find, TFTC.

Took a while to find, but found after an insistent search!

Tftc, no pencil or pen.

Quick find on this nice walkway TFTC

Ninalila and I went for the walk to the summit of Kurow Hill with a muggle friend. We had nice views and a sunny afternoon.

All the boxes were easy to find.

We signed the logbook with our team name : lekiprokos

Thank you for the cache and the discovery

Today is a perfect sunny and warm day for walking up to the Kurow hill.
We enjoyed the view on the valley and the town.
All boxes were easy to find and well maintained.

Looked at the more obvious spot before checking GPS and reading hint . . . then a quick find. Found with Aoraki Sheep.

Somehow we'd missed this one when we headed up the hill the other day. Driving back past today so we stopped. Found with debsnz

A mid-winter ride down the A2O. Finished the day's ride early (Otamatata to Duntroon and a lift back to Kurow) so took the dog for an evening stroll. Most impressed by the range of noxious weeds such as barberry growing on the hillside.

I started looking too close to the track, like many of the others by the look of all the upturned rocks. Thankfully it didn’t take me long to realize my mistake. Thanks for placing this cache to tempt travellers out for a walk.

I was not able to search at the start of my walk, as several muggles came past and kept interrupting me. You can only have so many sips of water! So I decided to leave it for the time being, and attempt on return. The coast was clear now, and I made a quick find once I was in the right prickly spot TFTC!!

Awesome find

Good find

On day four of our A2O bike ride, now arrived in Kurow and off for a late afternoon walk. Still too hot really. Ouch those scratchy plants! Thanks drawp.

Our second cache!
In: 2TB
Out:-

After doing some cache maintanance yesterday and placing a new one this morning. I thought it was a good time to grab a few more on my way through quick find took tbs tftc

I was on my way to Kurow to sign off a few caches on the way to and in and around the township. Time to get prepared for a huff and puff.

Cheers for the cache.

Nice walk

Forgot a pen but fount the cache. TFTC

Checked and all good.

Sadly no luck after a search before and after going up the hill still no luck.

Today we drove from Omaru to Lake Takapo. On the way we pickup same caches and this one was one of it . An other great day in New Zealand with cool caches and many nice spots.TFTC

After an easy look found it

EASY FIND AND INVADED THIS HOME, DONT THINK ANYONE LIVES HERE ANYMORE.
TFTC

TFTC the beginning of a very steep walk

Found on way to Waimate. Was going to go up the hill but it was way to hot for me

Took a bit of a hunt but yes!!

5th of 14 on a holiday trip down south. TFTC

Quick find tftc

Quickly found before our walk up the hill. Tftc

TFTC found with nztreefrog, no pen in cache and forgot one of our own

TFTC lost the pen had to take picture for proof

Couldn't find it this time though found a easter egg

Did not find it

Easter weekend and a trip South to do the Alps to Ocean bike ride from Mt Cook to Oamaru. Day 5 and 4th day of riding, despite sore legs from yesterday

no pen so did not sign log

GPS signal was bouncing around a bit, which made it a bit harder. TFTC.

Not quite what I was expecting to see initially, but soon cottoned onto the clue.

We didn't have time to walk the track but we stopped off briefly for this cache. The junior dakotacat found it easily, the hint was cool. Cheers drawp.

Pretty spot. Good directions. Hot!

Found with Chosen1978, Quickly located and signed, Phew!! it was hot today. Chosen dangled the tootsies in the water race nearby.

No-one home as granville86a and I invaded, TFTC

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Kurow market day - nice and sunny, more stalls than last year and good food. What more could you want. Answer: a cache so we went and got one. No time to walk the track today though. TFTC

Found as part of a great day in and around Oamaru. Still reckon this is the best caching area I have ever encountered. Original standard set by Bitsprayer, but now a few others adding to the story. Many thanks to all!

Had to give this a miss on way up kurow hill as walkers were about. Then it was raining quite heavily so thought I'd come back after the next mission of the day,( deep stream walk),. Well a change of clothes and a couple of hours later GPS took me straight to it. Tftc

Met a local nice young man who was fixing the track, told him what we were doing so he was into helping us and to his delight he found it. Hope to do rest of the walk when we return to this area. TFTC

Found with Highnoon1976. Was nice weather for the Kurow hill walk TFTC

Was a nice and sunny day. So we decided to come to Kurow and do the walk and some geocaching there. Found together with PurpleDragonFire. Visited by TB453N7. TFTC

Today was it dry and sunny so perfect day for a small hike.

So i decide to go up to the Kurow Hill.
The beginning was easy but at the end i need a rest.
On the top was alot of wind but very nice view.
Found all caches on the way up and all are dry and okay.

TFTC Koppa-s

6/7. tftc

Cache checked and still in good and at home!

A cache too far.
