Thx

Very wet notebook but happy for husband to find

Thanks

Went for a ride along the trail and thought to look for some snags along the way. Log is a little damp and will need replacing. Weird photo cos kids were being odd

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. Log mush hard to sign.


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 must be getting tired as it took me a few moments to find

Nice and dry. Unlike the muddy track. Thank goodness it's not muddy everywhere. I planned a ski trip with hubby and friends. Then I had a couple of biopsies dine on my arm. So no skiing for me so I decided to cache instead. Thank you Bitsprayer for this cache.

======== NZ Mega 2021 ========
Planning for the NZ Mega 2021 event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, October 2021.

A nice afternoon walk along the path in the sun, with no one around, enjoying the caches and solitude. TFTC!!

DNF

Found after a little while with Cympull. Today we walked but last 2 days have ridden trails and found all but 2 caches. Great trails and great to be somewhere different away from crowds. Thank you

Over 2 years since this has been conquered. Yep...2 years and 1 day. Wow. What an achievement. Still dry after 10 years and the skeleton is in need of surgery and a good feed

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.
A nice quick find here as it was on the ground, now back as per hint
Thank you for placing this cache and thank you for the smiley

Awesome find, great place

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.

I enjoyed that one and I'm going to give it a fab point TFTC favourite

A big reach.second time lucky

I looked but I had to keep going

Quick find. Tftc

Looked at a few hints before finding. 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. That was a well hidden one, fortunately I spotted it fairly quickly. Signed log, TFTC

With reshamfiriri. TFTC.

Found with kakariki TFTC

Easy find

Found this one while on a holiday from our home in Whangamata. TFTC

Great day to go searching. TFTC

Tftc

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.

Cheers for the cache.

... another quick and easy find. TFTC

Looked for ages with no luck. Might have blown out

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.

TFTC

No luck.

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

Took a run on friday up to Kimbell and logged the first handfull. Today on the way back from Ruataniwha went for a quiet MTB along the track and back to get the remainder. Sunny warm - great area. TFTC

sneaky hide like it 2 down 3 to go its getting hotter

Anyone want a Vermont, USA deer hunting license?

TFTC

Decided to turn back here. Feet pretty sore. 8.5 km from start point though the round ramble was 20 km. Cache , Feet

Loved this pretty area. Quick find. TFTC

Nice little bridge. Pity about the ford just before.

Found this a bit of a challenge today. until a kind geo member gave me a bit of a clue 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

This one had us stumped for a few minutes until we let the GPS settle and we widened our search. TFTC.

Quick find.

Quick find. Finishing trail today

TFTC

TFTC!

Looked in all of the places suggested by the hint, but missed this one.

We were heading to Lake Pukaki to cycle today but the cold wind would of made that a little unpleasant. Instead we were drawn back to the prospect of a sheltered ride along the river and many more caches. Found on the ground. Returned too spot mentioned in clue. Found by O. TNLN SL TFTC.

Not quite where it was meant to be but placed back to better spot

So amazing when you can go geocaching and get a walk in too. Thanks from this Canadian!

A lovely babbling brooke here! A nice soundtrack to the find. TFTC.

Needed to cool the feet off by this time

Already tired and hungary, but we got to finish now we are so close.

Went out with my Sista and La Vista. Good exercise running the trails! Had to watch my allergies with the long grass though. Great day out. Thanks for the cache

First find on this trail on a bike trip with the 2 kids, one biking and one running. Picked the wrong tree at first and had to be careful with the blackberries! owch!!!

A bit of a reach but soon got it. M dropped G at Seddon Rd then drove around to Kerrs road to walk in from the other end while G did this end.

Didn't have to worry about reaching for the cache have my own personal Stretch0 for assisting me with those matters lol thanks for the cache

At least i was useful in stature this one and a quick grab was made Thanks for all these caches along this trail

liked the hide

TFTC

Got distracted for a brief time by a rock ?? placed for that purpose thks

cheers

A very pleasant bike ride. TFTC.

Liz dubbed Jacob on the bike and I ran, walked and collapsed. Enjoyed our visit to Fairlie as the A&P show was on; it is a big affair.

Enjoying the trail. Good easy finds with helpful hints. Weather very nice with little wind and plenty of sun. SL TFTC

Not many people on the track but plenty of rabbits and bird song to keep us company. TFTC

A nice easy find while out this way for the weekend. TFTC. Cheers Bo

I'm really not sure if it is helpful or not having the signs how much further you need to go to finish and back to the car. the GPS gives a more positive outlook as taken by a crow. I really have to ask myself why I am doing this. TFTC #2974

Starting to make progress by this stage. well along the track and with a bit of effort another was signed.
Thanks

A nice MTB ride down the trail this morning. Thanks for the ride, and the smiley!

This one took us the longest to find mostly because we didn't look at the hint until we had to. Such a beautiful spot. It'd be nice on a hot sunny day.

Found with Mporokosa. Pretty! Swapped Long Walk Home TB for Californian Raisen. TFTC.

another nice bit of work by Lions.thanks for the cache.

Again a good bridge by Fairlie Lions
TFTC

3rd of the series, nice wee bridge. TFTC

TFTC!

No luck with this cache, but then I didn't read the description until after I got home. Doh!

Found on a bike ride along the pathway.

The gps was pointing elsewhere, but easily found using the hint. TFTC.

We had heard rumours of a new power trail in the deeper south so left the now no longer sunny Nelson for sunnier pastures.

Nice spot for the cache, no worries height wise for me.

TNLN TFTC

Easy find TFTC

Knocking them off quickly now I am on wheels. Nice area for a picnic here.

*FTF* Nice little stream in the shade, cache well concealed. TFTC
