We are cutting back on our hides to the bare minimum as we no longer wish to maintain them. We have archived this cache so that someone else can hide caches here.

Travelling around the area for work take the opportunity in grabbing a few caches along the route.

Albi's work commitments does take us to places and this time Mesopotamia it is. Thoroughly enjoyed the day. Had no trouble in finding this one and the cache is all good here. TFTC.

Got muggled by a couple who wanted me to take a photo of them with the sign as their surname is Carew. Once they had driven off the cache was soon located. TFTC.

Nice quiet spot, with parking, perfect for a refreshment stop on a warm day; TFTC

Heading home a different way just to get a couple of caches. TFTC

Note found before lvl4. Just tiding up a couple I missed whilst Travelling around South Island.

Quick find. TFTC

We are doing a round about trip to Fairlie so we can get some caches. Nice big parking area for hall no one at playground so we could happily search. Mr C found you and all is good. Thanks for this cache 1066.

Found

Perfect wee hidden spot

Last cache of the long week-end, and stop in the "center" of a small village: the Hall, church, and school. Both container and logbook are in good condition, playground is nice too. Thanks for placing this here, it was a good stop to stretch legs!

We stopped to do maintenance but everything was fine.

Out caching for the morning with mum - headed out towards Geraldine too see if we could clear up a few with a few hours spare.

TFTC!!

Please excuse all the generic - ish logs. Am super behind in my logging, and will otherwise never catch up !!

Out with daughter for a day of caching, snacks, and chats! Thanks for all the CO's for the entertainment for the day!! TFTC!!

We enabled our geocaches now that geocaching is once more allowed under Level 2 guidelines. Happy Caching.

Disabled for the period of isolation so that you cannot catch the virus from this cache.

Another find while in the area, TFTH and taking us there.

A slight detour on our way to Peel Forest and cache was a quick find

The area was nice and quiet today and we made our way to GZ to make a nice quick find. tftc

Easy find ty

Nearly didn't find this one, cache looked like it had been found by muggles and tossed aside, it's all in good order though. I signed the log and placed the cache in the first place I looked for it, hopefully it's the right spot. TFTC.

Found it. Into the trees we go, be careful of the sharp branches.

Taking Aussie Pete to the airport. Had to do a few caches on the way to finish of the holiday. TFTC

Nice easy find. Thanks 1066

1st of our 6 Day Adventure down to Oamaru for [Oamaru Geofest 2017](https://coord.info/GC6M2V0). A nice easy find of a really nice and dry cache. Others of this type of container we have found today havent been waterproof so nice hide. While I signed the log Mum was busy collecting all the KanTabs for KidneyKids along the fence in the hedge. 23/40 caches for the day and 250 for our trip. Thanks for placing the cache and adding to our smilies

A little interesting bush bashing around in the dark. Eventually got the right spot. TFTC.

Nice spot first time been in this Area of the country. Great cache

#13255. Country halls are popular cache locations (skindo has lots of hall hides in the lower North Island). TFTC.

StreetWalker and I decided to spend Labour Weekend in Geraldine, our first visit there since passing through four years ago on our way back from the Dunedin Mega, and there were heaps of caches placed in the area since then that needed our attention .
I'm pretty sure I've stopped at hundreds of country halls while geocaching , and always happy to stop at another - the parking is usually good for a start. All quiet here on a Saturday morning and a quick find. TFTC.

This is the second day of my two-day trip from Invercargill to Christchurch, grabbing a few caches on the way. A wet start to the day at Omarama, but improved as the day went on. A quick find, signed log and returned as found. Thanks for the cache.

Hi

Found with no problem, very nice surroundings. What a wonderful place!

Thank you for the cache and greetings from two Czechs!

Another cache for this special family day.

Yay easy

VERY pleased for a quick find here, as we looked for ages here a year ago, and it turns out it was gone then. No trouble today. TFTC, nice spot.

The plan was hatched a few years ago now and it has been a standing weekend away with a few of us mad keen cachers. This trip was made up of Karma Reprint, Team_Gaters and me (TheWanglers). We couldn't use a previous anagram to sign the logs as one member was in Aussie. So we had to come up with another... Hmm, KiTT? We decided on KiTT but after signing the first few logs something KR mentioned took a while for me to sink in and I didn't really take on board until the next time I signed the log. "Hey, the double 'TT' looks like Pi!". Oh, that's what KR said! So we signed the log this trip as KaTT pronounced 'Kapai'! And the trip was kapai!!! We had an epic weekend starting with a detour to Peel Forrest for a few FTFs, stopped in Omaru, thrashed Dunedin and detoured to Port Charmers for a FTF and then back to Pleasant Point and Peel Forrest to finish off the weekend with more FTFs. We got home to our families at a respectable hour after clocking up just over 1100km!
We had a few milestones we really wanted to crack. My 4000th, TG's 5000th and KR's 10,000th. We cracked my and KR's goal and got really close for TG. It really is about the numbers. This trip was awesome as it has given me some ideas
Quick find and back to work


Thanks for the cache.

Cache number 11 for todays total of 123
Cache 11 of my total of 288 for this epic trip!

Show weekend and a Road Trip to Dunedin with 'The Boys'....Karma Reprint & TheWanglers. Initially came up with the acronym KiTT but on seeing the TT looked like a Pi symbol we quickly changed to Ka(Pi) (ie. Kapai)....and a fantastic weekend it was. 3 days, 1100km, a heap of caches and great fun.
We all decamped from the car 'en mass' and headed in different directions...TW made the find...onwards!

So this is where the comp finished between my 2 kids. Haylee had found the last 5 caches and now the race was on to find out who would find this one first.
Jake did!
But Haylee found the most over all today
Thanks for placing this cache

TFTC!

Dropped off a geocoin to begin its geocaching journey

Nice little one, quick and easy.

Tricky when compass isn't working

Lovely day, cute spot for a cache. TFTC

Nicely tucked away from muggles. Good cache

Quick find on way to Geo event at Peel Forest. Made the most of a warm sunny day, picking up caches. TFTC. Dropped off SPCA TB.

Relatively quick find, GPS had gone flat so used my geocaching sense to locate. TFTC.

Nicely tucked away. Great cache all good. Tftc

Thanks for the cache!!

Easy find TFTC

easy find

Heading to Geraldine, we were getting hungry so a detour was not welcome. Then we found it was taking us past a cache. So of course we stopped - being a bit later for lunch suddenly didn't seem to matter.
Thanks.

Thanks for getting this sorted, found today

Great cache! Awesome swaps

with the school next door, was hoping to see the toyota guy with the mono brow who teaches there. maybe another time. tftc.

Sorry guys. It looks like it has gone. We will go after work and have a look and replace it.

Ok That's all ready to go again. Dropped off a travel bug and a geocoin.

Sorry, did not manage to find it, I was there (part of my dinner break) for about 20 mins and could not see it, the gps was sending me to a rock, would this be right? May try again sometime, next time im up that way.

No luck with this today. Saw where it could have been though...

Yay

TFTC great end to a holiday weekend!!

Nobody around at all, mid Saturday p.m; I was out collecting caches to fill holes for Bald Ed's S43 Challenge - although I had filled this hole about 2 yrs ago, this cache was on the way. TFTC.

There were kids playing on the flying fox near by. Luckily it was far enough away, that they didn't notice me.

Quick find while enjoy a day caching in the region. TFTC, #6573

first of a rainy mornings park and grab dash around the area

This was a perfect spot to stop and have a picnic lunch, with the temperature up to 30 degrees, the shade was lovely. Cheers for this cache 1066.

Stopped here for a luncheon break. The stone seats were occupied so we settled for a shady spot beneath some nearby trees.

Not quite sure what has happened to my log. CacheSense has told me it has published it but it isn't showing up here! We got to the hall by accident - literally! There was an accident on SH1 and we were trying to find our way to Hinds-Arundel Road. The last time I was here was for a funeral at least 15 years ago and it had been snowing.

On a detour with Macpacmum. Nice wee spot. Accidentally found ourselves here. Tftc

Fun find for Grandma and 5 year old. Last time we were here spotted lizards in grasses near hall. No luck this time but finding cache made up for disappointment.

A interesting spot, tftc

Found on way South. Rain starting to clear now

Quick find in rural area. Took TB. Tftc SL.

Quick find on a nice rural hall. TFTC
