Trackside Channel (Canterbury) Ashburton, South Island, New Zealand
By N!mrod on 04-Feb-12. Waypoint GC3C2F7

Found out when logging a DNF that this was also archived.[:(!]

Found on way from Christchurch to Wanaka. Very clever hide. TFTC.

Will leave for 24 hours and then I will uplift, replace log and relocate to CHCH (as I have now moved there)

This will reappear in Christchurch

Attempted but could not find.

Log book is full and requires replacement.

Finally found. Quite easy in the end.. Thanks for the hide.

Came back to Ashburton especially to finish this and Corney Affair. Don't like giving up. Got it this time.
TFTC

A real hot line.
Just getting a few more to finish the day off after a power trail nearby.
TFTC

Muharharhar - nice idea - found good and fast - Danke für's Herloggen!!

Aaah open your eye's young fella and guess what you see. Tried several times and today
went stragiht to a cunning cache. TFTC

Very clever!
If I hadn't seen that a piece of it wasn't attached to anything I would have been afraid to touch it.
TFTC.

0925, GAFF1, Found by Geoson and I on our way Geraldine to Christchurch.

A short search revealed the goods the log was hard to extract and is full.

Worthy of a Fav point from us !

Headed towards Christchurch today and having a slow and leisurely trip with some sightseeing and a little geocaching thrown in. This cache was next on our hit list. The cache was quickly located after a short search, log signed and cache returned. TFTC. Logbook was full.

Heading out of Ashburton this morning on the way back from the mega, wanted to get one more find in town. Easy to pull over here, as we started the search someone coming past in a camper waved and tooted at us. Anna made the find, though I have seen one of these clever ones in the north island before. Thanks N!mrod.

Hadn't intended on stopping for this one, but couldn't resist when we spied gregandjude parked up. Leapt out and helped with the search. We spied the clever container pretty quickly. SL. TFTC.

Returning to Christchurch to catch our flight home early in the morning.
Again joined by Darby & Joan at GZ

Heading back home to CHCH after the weekends Mega event in Dunedin. Stopped off for a couple caches along the way. Busy busy road but made a quick find and sign. Very nicely done. Cheers.

Great cache idea. Road very busy today on our way back from the mega to fly back to Oz. tftc

Our 6209th overall find.

Found on the "Gangsters" NZ Mega 2012 trip with steeba, The Rats and Farmer Frentzen. This one could have taken us a lot longer but one of the other guys managed to spot it. Nice job.

Thanks N!mrod for the cache. Stats for our trip can be found here http://www.campersdownunder.com.au/geocaching/NZTrip/stats2.html

Found this cache as part of the Gangster's Aussie assault on the first NZ Mega with Big Matt, FarmerFrenzten and steeba.

This one had us going for a while but with 8 eyes looking we soon had it in hand.
Very clever
Thanks

Quikly spotted - has it been moved from a locatioin that was intended ? LGM

Found during 'The Gangsters' trip to New Zealand, being Big Matt, The Rats, steeba and myself.

A nice early morning walk around town before heading out for the day.

Thanks N!mrod for the cache.

Found as part of the Gangsters- The Rats, Farmer Frentzen and Big Matt and Shell- as part of our NZ Mega Event Tour 2012.

A nice little camo job which I haven't seen before. TFTC!

While we were heading to Dunendin for the Mega Event we stopped to find this neat cache.
Many thanks for the cool cache.....................TNLNSL...........................Cheers.

Reperio at 1145.

Stopped by here on the way to Timaru with Roostaman today, and fortunately for us today we walked straight to this cleverly hidden cache and had it in hand in under a minute. It was a real pleasure to find a lot of diverse hides today.

Gratias N!mrod.

Find # 4286 and a total of 84 today with Marcus Vitruvius on the 2nd day of our NZ Mega trip,
on the way south from Christchurch to Timaru. I just loved this country and driving around it looking for caches.
Another excellent cache and hide and a quick find.
TNLNSL TFTC N!mrod,
Roostaman.

Day two of Sully1's and my New Zealand trip from Christchurch to Dunedin.
Today was only as far as Oamaru, and the weather, once it warmed up, was superb.
A couple of heavy showers throughout the day made it feel like home in Victoria.
Thanks again, very clever, and an original hide.
Log sheet is chockers, couldn't sign our names, but giving it a fave anyway

Found with bogonghazy on day 2 of our short assault of the SI, whilst here for NZ Mega. We cached from Christchurch to Oamaru today, and only a few short showers throughout the day, which didn't deter us from continuing on with a numbers run. Thanks to the CO for placing this cache and for bringing us here.

#691
Another find on the way to the NZ Mega Event at Dunedin. Thought this was one of the better ones today. Many thanks for the cache. TNLNSL

#1029
Geotooter and I had travelled to NZ from across the ditch to attend the NZ Mega Event down in Dunedin. We were on our way to our overnight stop in Timaru and grabbed a few caches along the way. I had seen a similar hide back home so it didn't take long to recognise it. Thanks N!mrod for an excellent placement. Also met up with another cacher at this location. Great to meet you Mat.

Easy find although it took a lot longer getting the tight fitting log out. La Kedi's a whizz at getting them back in again. TFTC

Tuning in to this one, I have to say its one of my favourite channels in NZ so far! Creative and nifty, but I was on the right wavelength and managed to find the cache reasonably quickly. Extracting the log proved quite challenging and required a device, but the initials are on and it's smiles all around. TFTC, N!mrod. =^.^=

A quick find on the way to the mega

Travelling from Christchurch to Timaru today grabbing some caches & exploring this beautiful country on my way to the NZ Mega in Dunedin...

Grabbed this cache whilst travelling & taking in the fantastic views around the area...

Thanks For The Cache N!mrod
- Peter (Melbourne, Australia)

Seen it straight away but looked elsewhere first. Great cache.

TFTC

Found with renelm. TFTC

We got a little sidetracked, but upon reading the description again, it was a fun find. Defintely gets a fav. point from me

Found at 11:26 - #2769 - with Alexesmann

TFTC

had a quick look for this on two other occasions, this time not in so much of a hurry and found it quite quickly. nice work N!mrod. i enjoyed this, gave you a fav. tftc.

A few horses and riders working out in side. Busy road to cross.

We arrived at GZ and went to the obvious spot. It was then we re read the description and thought this sounds like one we have done from one of our favourite hiders back home and sure enough the hide was a match. No special tools needed and we where soon signing the log and then re hid. TFTC

A Machiavellian mind surely and a rather special cache. I hated those big trucks though.

A different type of cache that we almost missed. TFTC

Thankyou
Found thru a day of Caches before and after the amazing event of "weekend for two"

TFTC
A great little Hide
very inventive

317 - Our first mini cache event for the day. N!mrod said this should be easy to locate and how right he was! I don't think he meant quite as literally as happened though, because The Organist had it in his hands within seconds of us arriving - yep a very easy find for us!. N!mrod even then thoughtfully dropped by to make sure we found it (that's our story and we're sticking to it), how is that for a cache owner looking after the finders. Very nice to meet you too, and it was lovely to catch up with The Organist again. I'm sure the next person won't find it quite as easily as we did.

Ashburton trip: 20 of 21

For a long time I have wanted to plan a caching trip to Ashburton from Christchurch, N!mrod's (awesome) event was the perfect excuse! Very cool, and a bit different this cache, just the way I like it. TFTC (825)

Very very clever we just about walked away but put the thinking cap on. Well done neally got us here. TFTC

#367 4th cache of 25 for MacPacMum, JustMeG & PurdiePurdie's Ashburton trip. This was the first caching reunion for the day as we arrived just as The Organist had managed to get his hands on this clever little cache. We provided the tools to help retrieve the log. Just doing this and N!mrod turned up on his way to archive Weekend for Two cache.

I love finding original caches, Thanks

SHEEP LAMBS awwh

Nicely done!

After 3 DNF's a check was easily arranged and completed. Arriving at GZ I moaned as the set up for the cache had obviously changed and I couldn't find it and suspected that it had been half-inched or muggled. Then, I noticed the changed aspect (in the same location) of it and suspect that a previous cacher had signed the log for a smiley and then wanted a second smile by engaging in a bit of geocaching licence. Had me smiling, for sure. So, still there in plain view and in a better situation than I put it. Well done whoever it was.

spent good 15 minutes looking, thinking, searching, looking, searching, thinking to no avail. will keep eye on this cache as two previous cachers also had dnf.

This one eluded us today. Maybe next time.

Sneaky. Real sneaky. Sneakier than we could see. I'll be back in daylight. Cheers

Took Heafudd M's devious mind to find this TFTC

Nice cache, hadn't seen one like this before, quickly found and signed. TFTC

Have found a couple of these. Guesed what it would be from the cache name.

I'm sure if I had seen the cache name I would have found it faster. Soooo wasn't expecting that sort of hide here. Nicely done. Cheers Gav [11897]

Very clerer hide,enjoyed this one.TFTC.

Found fairly quickly on the way past. SL TFTC

So well done wonder why that would be there. Very clever

Very clever Cache.Road busy but just on dusk don't think we were noticed.TFTC

Quick find on way home from Easter Camp TFTC

Just zooming past on the way home from Easter Camp, but tired drivers need to take a break. Nice little hide too. Thanks.

Sneaky. Very sneaky...

Oh, another fun one. Glad I did it at night though. Less traffic foe starters. Have a +1
Thank you for placing this cache.

Mr Bairdy got this whilst I played decoy. I'd attempted it this cache before, looked in obvious places, but to no avail. Sneaky hide, but I had the tools necessary The log is difficult to write on...seems to have a waxy covering, but I managed to SL. TFTC.

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

Took a few minutes to track down, great hide.-Bitsprayer

Yes a little beauty once we got the connection. TFTC

I must admit to casting around for a while before the uh huh moment. A clever wee hide and quite relavent when you think about it afterwards. Something different!
Thanks
erninz

Found this one while on our annual South Island holiday from Whangamata

Awesome hide tftc

That was cool. Tftc

A fun cache which we have awarded a favourite, even although it did take us a wee while to locate. TFTC

Having a N!mrod day today, these are getting quite tricky, who comes up with the ideas, has to by a womans sence of humour. TFTC

When the mobile gates opened, they sprinted off on a false start, so had to quickly regroup & rethink ... then a vehicle pulled up on other side of road. ooops, muggled! HMrs recognised ADV, phew! so had a quick catchup on side of road. With proud precision PP tuned into the right channel for a winning prize reception!

TFTC. It took a little time or the trio of La Vista, Hello Mrs and purdiepurdie to tune into this cache. Initally we were muggled by a south travelling cacher, LV, who recognized us and popped across the road for a catchup. Then back on track and the cache was discovered. Nice job Nimrod.

A very appropriate container but something wasn't quite right with the picture which required a bit of investigation of the vertical hold.
Spotted a slightly unusual sight of three people gathered by the side of the road and looking at handheld devices as I was driving south yesterday. Closer scrutiny revealed at least one familiar face so I stopped to say hello, I guess with some quick excuses being formulated until they recognised me, sorry about causing a brief moment of concern.

TFTC

Muggled by ADV while looking for the cache with La Vista and PurdiePurdie. Interesting cache. Thanks

4247. This was our first time out for an overnighter in our small campervan - Rodney's retirement vehicle! This was an interesting find on the auspicious occasion!
Thanks
Iris & Rodney

Very clever had a laugh when we finally found it!!! TFTC

Quick find but the road is busy.

Ha Ha. Nearly gave it up but we try not to do that any more. Tricky hide.

2TF and happy with that at 3.10pm. I saw this and the two others listed last night and for a few seconds considered heading off from Geraldine for a First Day find before sensibility kicked in. Excellent hide along with the theme. It took forever to get the log out - tried a few different methods and tools before finally having success. A favourite for me. TFTC #2996

I have the unfortunate job of yet again logging a FTDNF. Yes that stands for First to Did Not Find. Coordinates took me to something related with the speed of the traffic racing past rather than anything to do with sharing information about the speed of the horses on the other side of the fence. Approached from the north so no issues with parking.

FTF! - Though I thought someone had been here before us...... took a while to find, but one of those that once you see it, it's hard to understand what the problem was! there was nothing on the channel this morning.... thanks!

Darn, when we loaded this into our GPSs, there weren't any finds. But by the time we got there (coming from Tarras), there were three logged. Boo hoo. Clever hide.

As Mprorokosa says - we were just too slow on our trip from Cromwell/Tarras. 3rd to find OK for me tho. Favourite for today

Hahahahahahaha. Hahahahaha. Nice, evil, easy when you get it.... loved this one.
