This was our 4th on the track today. Mrs nzk checked a few spots on one side of the track, then looked on the other side and made an immediate find. All ok here. TFTC Bitsprayer.

Muddy but fun

Thanks

Libby found it

TFTC. Got passed by a dog walker who looked worried about me fossicking off track. Lol.

Quicker find than I expected

Came out for a day trip with the family to bicycle the first half of this Stoneleigh track. Lovely day for it - quite hot & with no breeze! A nice wee find and sign here after a wee bit of searching. Thanks.

On a trip south from Tauranga. Been cycling around when we can. Love it down here. Called into camp a couple of nights to catch up on washing etc. nice walk in rain.


I am logging using the Cachly app template so please excuse generic logging along the way. It’s just my way of keeping track, but I do genuinely thank each and every one of you cache owners for taking the time and energy to place these caches. Logged with permission. Many Thanks for bringing me here. Cheers.

I spent at least 30 minutes looking for cache and decided to give up. Went back to where I had left my backpack and I had dumped the backpack on top of the cache. This witch is an idiot

Took a little while to spot this one but persistence paid off. TFTC.

Great walk, but be better if we had biked it, log a bit wet - TFTC

We spent a very nice time walking along the river. Some of the caches here were a little bit wet inside the container. Fairlie is a lovely city where I always love to be. TFTC

Iceman 88 was here

GPS was all over but found eventually on the river side .. Hidden cleverly in the over grown grass .. Good father's day find

Bumpy

Assuming it's behind a tree? No luck in finding

No luck.

No luck for me here!

TFTC log damp but all good

Another good find

Found with Fisha1288.
Log is a bit damp but still writes. TFTC.

Very cleverly hidden

Looked for about 10 min at GZ but had no success. Had another good look when going back to the car later. Stil no luck. Next time we are in the area we will try again. Thanks for the short walk anyway.

Tricky spot

Found it. TFTC

That was tough!

Needs a dry book to write in

11/10

A very bouncy gps for us. On to next one.

Very wet inside container but easy find

Easy find. Getting a sun tan in winter! Still waiting to see the river

Found while having a stroll on a clear stunning spring day.20 degrees

We are on our summer holiday driving around the South Island with no real idea of where we will end up each day. We are often drawn to an area that has the potential to give us a few geocaching smilies and somewhere we have not spent time exploring before. So we spotted this trail of caches and decided to come and have a look see. It was so refreshing to ride a maintained trail, we have been on some really overgrown and washed out tracks in the last few days.
Some of the logs are damp but all are useable.
This one took us a few moments to find the correct log but once GK found it the cache was immediately discovered
Thank you for placing this cache and thank you for the smiley

Biking the trail and found it, log wet.

Found log a tad damp signed and returned as found tftc bitspraysr

No trouble with the find but the log and container were wet and of course therr was more than one "log". Thanks for the cache Bitsprayer

Found it after bit of searching. The blue stood out from green. A bit damp

Out today with yetichch riding the Opihi Trail, hoping to get smilies on all the caches along here. Glad to say we were successful in our mission. Beautiful day for riding along here and plenty of ripe wild blackberries to snack on along the way. Didn't see any other people today, so made the hunt easier with no muggles about to be careful of. Some of the caches need maintenance, a few log books were a bit on the wet side. Many thanks Bitsprayer, wouldn't have seen this great trail if it wasn't for geocaching!
Sorry about the generic logs.

Easy find

Log book needs replacing

Really really good spot

Well hidden. Looking in the wrong place for too long only a few steps behind us. Logs wet. TFTC with heyhaynz

Sneaky cheeky log! A good rummage found this one fast. Tftc

Was checking out the wrong log for to long. The green grass covering the one I needed to search for. Tftc

found all safe and secure log book damp bit I could still sign my name tftc

Easy find for the 9 year old

Found while biking the track. TFTC.

Fairlie tricky hide

Found it after a bit of searching as there were so many possibilities. tftc

Stayed the night in Fairlie so that I could come for a bike ride up here, something I have been meaning to do for several years. The weather "sort of" cooperated, the rain stopped for a few hours although the track was a bit muddy. Found this one after a short search, I wasn't sure what the nature of these hides was so this one took me a little longer than many of the others. Signed log, TFTC

With reshamfiriri. Nice day for a bike ride. TFTC

Found with kakariki TFTC

Another easy one with very accurate pinpoint.

Left greywacke stone

Brushed the dust off the bike. A good day for a ride. TFTC

Nice walk easy find. Happy Australia Day

Made a little walk here in the first part of this walkway. Thanks for the cache!

Out: TB

Guwapo, Mama and Papa combine some cycling with some geocaching. Salamat!

It is time to get the bike of the rack and me suited up for the Fairlie River Walk/Cycleway series of caches. I started at the end and worked my way down the Opihi River.

In: TB.

Cheers for the cache.

Quick and easy find.

And the title says it all but there's a few choices. Needed to turn around on this one and head back for the AB game. Tftc

Out on the trail on the bike to collect these lot in intermittant drizzle and rain, no problems with overheating. Cheers for the trail, glad to get it ticked off the list finally.

Out for a warm bike ride to get this series of caches with axllal and mr axllal, warm day and it is further than it looks. Thank you for these.

Getting near the end.

An early morning run before a fine breakfast at the Fairlie Bakehouse.

TFTC

Detour run to Kimbell. Tftc

Out for a quiet Sunday drive/caching trip. With the sun shining we couldn't have wished for better weather.
Mission for the day is to attack some caches in the Pareora Gorge and head to Fairlie for lunch and ice cream.
After a lovely lunch at the pub, we thought we might walk it off before treating ourselves to an ice cream. Quick grab and sign while no one else was on the track.

Quick find as I continued along the track TFTC

Found on the way back from a caching adventure in Tekapo. Started biking in brilliant sunshine, had a bit of rain and finished in the clouds. Still a great ride. TFTC

Easy find on the walkway a beautiful summer morning. Tftc!

The track is a bit overgrown which is a shame. I wonder if the locals have considered implementing a 'trail committee' to keep the maintenance up? It is such a wonderful resource for the community. TFTC.

Quick find.

Found on way back to camp

Kids enjoying these

Contents are a bit damp
