Quick essy find. TFTC

Thanks for my first find!

Lovely drive down to this quaint and peaceful village. Quick find. TFTC

a fun fast find for our 5yo in winter. Travelling the country in a caravan and exploring beautiful spots.@blomm_voyage: a fun stone we found down on the beach

Found it! Tftc

Thankyou beautiful location .

Didn't plan on geocaching today and didn't have a pen. But after a walk on the beach, we stopped on the basket ball court for a sheltered snack. Quick find at gz. Both container and logbook were in good condition and perfectly dry.

A quick find here whilst out exploring the area. tftc

Found with KimchiCash on the journey to Picton. Tftc!

TFTC

Quick find on a walk to check out cute courts. We have our rackets with us so will have a game this afternoon! Tftc

Hunt successful! Out on a days caching expedition to track down caches I've been wanting to do for a while - super handy when there's 2 cachers!

I had wanted to come up to Gore Bay for awhile, knotobsessed had told me about it before, so we opted to team up and get a few rural caches.On the way by, we grabbed this. Everything was fine at GZ. Nice area, thanks for bringing us here TFTC HeyTopps, the cache was found in good order Signed, sealed and returned to GZ. 2 find(s) of 10 today, making this find #4645

A beautiful day to be here. No one playing tennis so the cache was a quick find. TFTC.

Great little find . Beautiful day in the bay for a explore

Drove out to Motunau Beach in pouring rain. A quick search soon had the cache in my hands. Nice to be able to tick this unfound off. Thanks HeyTopps.

Tftc, nice spot

Was a great little find....

Had a lovely wander around here with my friend today, lovely camping area and we enjoyed looking at the rocks on the beach. Thanks for placing a cache here, much appreciated.

I've been here before, can't remember why didn't find it, possibly too many muggles. Thanks HeyTopps

#13878

No bunnies out on the courts today thanks for this cache HeyTopps

Detour here from gore bay back to Christchurch nice spot. TFTC

A crowd was exiting from the courts as I was approaching so I continued down to the beach for the multi. All clear on the way back out which made for a quick park and grab. TFTC # 18,904

A park and grab. Was able to park very close to the cache with the car shielding my activities; TFTC

Tftc, found but didn’t have a pen.

Found it

Found after a fossil fossick for International EarthCache day. The coordinates were a little bit off, but the hint made it very clear. TFTC!

I was here 6.5 years ago but didn't have any luck but not this time. Dutifully signed the log.

Cheers for the cache.

Visiting family at there bach and decided to come up and look. Had a quick few holes of golf before doing a quick find.

Holiday caching adventure. Thanks for the hide.

Lunch stop on way to CHCH. Great beach township. TFTC

Found ewsiky

I found this last Sunday 1/8/21. A bit late in logging it. A good easy find .

Quick easy find, would be tricky on a busy

Early morning walk whilst camping overnight here. Lovely and sunny but a bit chilly. My GPS wouldn't settle but the hint helped. Poppy the dog didn't even notice the dead hedgehog! Only one muggle in a ute giving me the suspicious eye but a dog and a poo bag is always good camo. Lots of bird activity though so I went back to the camper to enjoy their singing. Tftc

Easy find while staying for fishing comp

Found while over night camping

Good find thanks

First time ever in motunau-staying in caravan in the campground-only ones here so far. Easy find-TFTC

A neat quick find after this afternoon's event. Thanks!

As we were driving around trying to locate the cache site we saw two other cats parked at GZ. Now what could they be doing? Signing a log! We joined then and introductions were made. By the time we left there were 5 cars there. We all continued down the road to the meeting place for our afternoon tea event.

Nice easy find on our way to the event at the beach. We landed up with about 6 vehicles and what would they all be doing????? Found with Geomum007 and Streetwalker and Troodles. TFTC

Arrived to find several other vehicles parked up and cache was a quick find

Pulled up here and located the cache with SWAT and Busy paws. Then got joined by another 6 cars on the same mission, good fun! TFTC.

Quick find after the event today. Cheers

Arrived at GZ to find a group... but none had tennis racquets... they seemed to be more of a huddle and armed with pens. More and more vehicles stopped... anyone would think there was an event on or something. TFTC HeyTopps

We were on our way to event at Motunau and this was on the list to find before that. Stopped and found many other vehicles here all doing the same. Happy to sign log, thanks for this cache HeyTopps.

Found with StreetWalkerNZ, Geomum and Busy paws en route to the event at Motunau. Thanks to the hint, the cache was a quick find.
Just after we had rehidden the container, a car stopped by us, and this was the start of a continuing succession of geocachers arriving for the event. We weren't mean enough to make everyone search for the cache , and just handed it to each new arrival. TFTC.

Fortified by afternoon tea at Fossil Point cafe we got this on the way to the event. Tftc

#18711. We got to GZ about 30 mins before the nearby event, and it was deserted. Half a dozen cars arrived in quick succession, and the log book passed through many sets of hands. TFTC.

While driving around we spotted a group of fellow cachers at GZ, and stopped to join the queue to sign the log. Them drove en-masse to the afternoon tea event

A nice quick find thanks. Pulled up and couldn't get a park. So many geocachers here! They moved on to the Picnic then we made a QEF.

Ms_KR and I cruised around town for a while then a wee road trip to Motanau Beach for an picnic and Earthcache. The weather got better throughout the day and it was a nice drive.

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

After a lot of searching we found it in a different place so relocated it back to coincide with the clue.
A bit damp. Lovely area.

TFTC live this place

Out walking on a beautiful day with friends

We did not find this cache when we looked for it yesterday?!?

A bit of a "mad-cap" drive to Motunau late this afternoon with K C N - I had the urge to claim the Drive to Motunau Multi and felt like an air-conditioned drive.
This was on our way, so we were happy to stop & find this cache first.
Not particularly well covered - we tried to improve things a bit.
Thanks for the cache, HeyTopps.

Found with Kotuku SI who made the find after I had a quick look for it in the spot found. First find of the day as we were here to do the Multi as a priority - this was a bonus.

Out for a nice Sunday morning caching drive with the middle one. The cache was not really hidden as it is visible when standing over it, but the coords had me 20m out. TFTC!!

Find on the way to the camp site, tftc

Up in Motanua camping TFTC

Found after a fossick along the beach. TFTC

We looked for a while and were just about to do a DNF when my daughter found it! Well hidden keep looking!

Took a wee while to locate this. I had to read back through some logs then I honed onto it.
Its all in good order.

Motunau is a Beautiful Place We have a Bach here and thought it would of been a nice opportunity to grab a cache in my favourite area Unfortunately I could not find Cache Think it has been Muggled

(long weekend)

Hard

Not many little bunnies for us today, too brown out here for them. A quick grab having walked past it a few times while we were down camping at the domain. Cheers

Found with Injeanious and The Burnsy - we signed the log as JeJeBu to save space. Nice quick find, TFTC!

A quick find for us on a hot day. We timed it just right as the people who were playing tennis were just leaving as we arrived. Tftc.

At the moment Pfote and me are on a work and travel backpacking trip through the world. After more than two years in Australia we took the chance to be so close to New Zealand, which is the farthest place on earth from our home. So we hopped over and will travel at least most of the south island in the upcoming months.

After spending some time walking around the cold and windy beach we walked up here and scored an easy find.

TFTC and greetings from Germany.

Dharmas find

Quick stop while checking out the area. No one on court today! Thanks

Hard to be subtle on this one with overlooking eyes- tftc

Quick find Thanks

We nearly gave up

JDScout was keen to go for an adventure with me today. I suggested coming out this way and he agreed. We nearly gave up on this one but I spotted it. I can't remember visiting Motinau before.

It took us a wee while to find this cache, a few metres south of the coordinates. As it was actually in full view, we placed a white rock over it. TFTC

First visit to Motunau beach, and a nice quick find here. TFTC

Quick find on a picnic here. TFTH

Took my grandchildren for a very successful fossil hunt and found this afterwards. TFTC

Had a great breakfast at the beachside. Loved this place. TFTC

We didn't hold much hope of finding this after reading the previous log. It was cold and windy and absolutely quiet, a perfect time to have a good search. Quick find! Though the co-ordinates were out a bit we looked where we thought it would be. TFTC HeyTopps.

I think this one has gone if it was in the bush just inside the gate.

If not, I still couldn't find it as I did look elsewhere.

Easy find

TFTC. I was in the area to complete the nearby fossil earthcache and thought it would be rude to drive past this one.
The coords had me on either side of the fence. As I was considering my options a loud voice boomed out "Where you ere the first time, somewhere near a white rock!!" I looked around and on the hill across the road was the waving. observant and helpful local.
TFTC HeyTopps.

Found quickly! The cache location has been littered, if someone decides to clean up, the cache probably won't survive.

Found this one on our way back to chch.

We were going to do the Motunau Mouth multi, but then found that final location (if we worked it out right! ) would not be the best to access in rain in the shoes we were in!

So found this one instead. Took a while actually, as the cover made it look like undesirable to touch rubbish!

But touched and signed in the end.

Consec caching day # 678
