Graciesgpsfun, NZB, Jude_E and I are driving to from Christchurch to Oamaru today. The main activity is geocaching. We're back on the main road again.
On a two day roadie with NosyNel and Jude_e. I’m enjoying the views of the countryside.
In Canterbury for a 25th wedding anniversary and am caching with GraciesGPSfun as well.
Kia ora rawa atu for the cache drawp.

Out with busy paws and on our way to Oamaru. This was our first one of the days planned adventure. Thanks for the cache drawp.
Going down to stay at my son's place in Oamaru. Left home early to do a few caches on the way. TFTC
I had a DNF here a year ago so pleased to return today to turn that blue frown into a lovely yellow smiley face. Thanks for your maintenance drawp. TFTC # 17,657
The new log sheet was probably meant for some other cache as it had a heading "At the DRS". Anyway I signed and placed back. If there is a local cache by that name I must have found it on an earlier occasion as it isn't on my list for today. Thanks for placing.
In Kurow for the long weekend and time to head home with a few stops along the way. A nice quick find here TFTC
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
22024 Traveling through New Zealand to see nice people and places. Also to find some geocaches.
Today we went from Mount Cook to Dunedin. First, because it was sunny now, we visted the surrounding of mount Cook and the Tasman glacier. Then we drove alone and there were many caches along the road like the mighty oaks taril and many others, but a lot of them were on spots where I did not like to park a car. It were also to many to do them all, so we randomly stopped where it was safe and went for a search.
In Dunedin there are several Y2000 caches, and these we like specialy to visit. The Jasmer challenge is still not full..

Found with StreetWalker on day 2 of our Queens Birthday weekend, on a most enjoyable Waimate - Kurow - Waimate round trip. It turned out to be a good choice to head inland as the weather was fine (though cold!) until we reached the coast on the last stage of our journey.
The cache was semi buried so it took a couple of looks to find it. TFTC.

Continuing with a tour of New Zealand, these Aussies are enjoying some fine weather at last. Today we were picking up some caches along route as we headed into the high country. Each log was autographed and replaced in its proper position before we headed off. Our thanks go to drawp for another cache placement, which was fun to find.
Found on way to geo event in omarau, on a geo road trip with RowenaD and flipnz. Very long grass
Another quick find but again felt really obvious. Just about missed it in the deep grass. Tftc
Travelling around the South Island.

Spotted the hint object as we pulled over, parked within a metre or so which meant a super quick find. Found with debsnz
A very quick find here, was hardly out of the car when Aoraki was signing the log. Found with Aoraki Sheep.
Stopped here on a day drive to explore the region and find a few caches. Another quick find. Signed log, TFTC
Making progress along the road, I may even get to my destination tonight! Oops, cache to find! TFTC!!
On a mission around South Canterbury/North Otago. 114 found caches today. Thanks to all the CO's for their effort. Sorry about the cut and paste. TFTC.
On Tour together with Sabe73 as Team "TheBros" around South Island to visit some nice spots.
We also visited this location and could find the box almost quickly.
Thank you for showing us this place and of course for the Cache.

Headed down south with C&D and 11HPG11 for the CHCH Mega as part of the HOAC team, and decided that a Mega road trip/Mega Mission was the right thing to do. After a great day caching from Dunedin to Omarama we manged to get a few hours sleep before the big day 2 started.
Day 2 was the start of a ambitious plan to try and find as many caches as possible in one day! To maximise our chances of a big number we decided a 24 hour caching day was the only way to go. What an epic day, and some great moments too. The rough idea was to cache from Omarama to Oamaru, and then head north towards Christchurch. A huge thanks to everyone for the cache placments, and I apologise for the copy and past logs.
Find #63 for the day.

This was the start of a MEGA caching weekend in the company of good caching friends. In the company of both HKCB & 11HPG11 this was going to be another memorable caching road trip for many reasons.
This is the mission that we had set ourselves up for several months back. It was HKCB's idea, I was just dumb enough to think it was a challenge and I'd be up for it, 11HPG11 was silly enough to come along for the ride once we confirmed a spare seat (Nova Lightening pulled out for family reasons).
We were going to try to beat the NZ one day record in New Zealand (it would have been easier with 4 people), so after 2.5hrs sleep after a good feed at Omarama we were ready to go. This was the sixty second on what was to be an epic day with what amounted to 401 caches collected for the day and about 38 DNF's. We managed this with 10minutes to spare but by this time we were done for and still had to drive back to Kaiapoi. All in all an epic days caching with good friends and something I don't think any of us will repeat in a hurry.
All in all it was going to be a big day with a number of challenges, great sceanery, and of course great company. Fantastic driving along and up here as the landscape was so different from what we are used to back in the Waikato. One good thing about backroads being that we could continue our neferious activites without being disturbed by muggles.
Nice quick find here without any issues

thanks for the placement , thanks for the cache

What a Mega Mission for a group of Hamilton Over Achievers! A great trip, a long time in the planning. I teamed up with Cats&Dragons and HKCB to grab a couple of caches while in Christchurch and surrounding areas for the 2015 Mega Event. We flew out from Auckland on Friday night and traveled to Dunedin in the dark of the night. Stopped for a few hours sleep before setting off to grab caches in the Otago area on Saturday before attempting a few more on Sunday and then arriving at the Mega on the Monday. An amazing, yet crazy road trip
When C&D mentioned a day with over 400 caches I should have turned and ran... instead I said yes, and here we are. 401 caches in 23 hours and 50 minutes. All done on about 2.5hr of sleep. It was hard work with only 3 of us and there were times that were hard and tiring but I still had a blast! An amazing experience that one has to be slightly crazy to even consider
No problems on this one, thanks for the placement. Easy to search here in the dark!

There is a generous entrance way leading to Doctor Creek farm. The cache is nearby and you might have to dive deep to recover this one.
A quick find here. The log is mouldy and abit tattered. Its nearly full so will need replacing soon anyway.
The beautiful sunset is continuing to unfold. Thanks for the cache

Headed out for a weekend of crazy caching with sharkiefan - it was all about numbers this weekend!
For me personally, I needed the numbers so that I could get enough caches to bring my average a day back up to 4 caches at least for this year, as on a streak it's not really possible to find heaps of caches in your home hood!
This was cache number 30 out of the 116 we found over the two days. And a huge thank you to all the cachers who put out all these caches! Loved the fun time we had - though weekend could have ended better!
Sorry for not writing cooler logs, but heading overseas in a couple days, and I don't exactly want to be behind in my logging then!!
Haha.
Consec caching day # 405
