Thanks

Thanks for the chance

Nice park

Great little spot

Had some minutes to fill in as sister was visiting her husbands 90 yr old grandmother nearby. Lovely wee walkway here and would have never known it was here so thanks for bringing me here. Dropped my visa card out of pocket when i pulled my pen out. Realized this once I had got back to my car so did a flying dash back to find it on pathway. So glad it was still there and I noticed it missing before heading home to Nelson.

Thank you! First cache for my friend

Found it after looking in the slightly wrong area oops.. after finding the spot was contested for by a wasp so decided to log the cache whilst waiting for it to leave. Tftc!

Left in plain sight. Returned as the hint indicates. TFTC.

Lovely spot by the stream. TFTC

**Day**Doing a tour in and around Christchurch by bike. Nice and easy going on the flat terrain. Just had the webcam cache as main target and doing a lot of tradies and labs along the way. After a while the idea came to make this my day with the most different cache types found. Unfortunately I could not see an event for today but other than that I found: tradie, multi, mystery, lab, webcam, virtual, letterbox, wherigo and earth. That smashed my previous record of 6 and set the new record to 9, very nice! Thanks to all CO's for a lovely day of caching!**Cache**Quick find at GZ thanks to hint, tftc!

In the Southern Island currently to drop off the Uni student for the 2024 year, and just had to locate this one being the closest to my accommodation....Had tried the night before, and earlier today, but both times had high muggle activity that took up valuable caching time, so decided on return visits......finally managed to get some time with out muggles around to make the find.....Yaahh, the locals that have their windows facing this cache were not home now, so in for the find I go......TFTC.

Found with geocacher manly.Good find, took us ages trying to find the right hint item, but when we did, the cache came quickly.TftC.#17.

Cool find thanks

Nice easy cache. The pink theme has not been kept up though

Easy find - despite the loud talking coming directly across the creek. Said hello to the ducks as I left. Thanks and cheers from Grandalf (2601)

Found. Not the obvious stump

yup

I saw a likely looking hiding place from the bridge but actually found the cache as I made my way there. TFTC # 20,707

Damn. I couldn't find it. Cool spot to check out though. Never been here before

First geocache! Took a while but finally found after checking the comments about retracing steps. Signed the log, cool spot thanks!

It was great lots of cool trinkets

Cute river and so peaceful at this time of the morning. Wouldve never come here if it wasnt for the cache so thank you.

Found with the Arcadians.

Went to the wrong tree stump then retraced steps and GOT IT!!

Cool

Thanks

Thank you!

Good on ya mate

Not in the tree stump by the river side, retrace ur steps very easy to find

Found the cache it was in a great place

Quick find while completing the nearby ad-lab. Thanks.

Had to retrace my steps to find but eventually got it

What a great place for a cache! I’ve walked over this bridge hundreds of times; even lived across the street for a year (And I think there’s an AL stage here too?). I had no idea this little path existed. Great find.

Beautiful spot; found on a uni lunch break

Visiting from Ohio, USA and spent the day geobiking my way around Christchurch. Beautiful hidden spot!

Nice one, got while biking nearby. Love the theme!.

A quick find. What a beautiful area! TFTC!

found it

Very hidden! Very fun

Looked at the more obvious ones, but took a step back and looked around and found it

TFTC, quick find with Mynx after getting the UC webcam cache

Found with logandmaia. Great cache, good hiding spot. Tftc

God damn. I had to go check out another cache nearby to find this. After reading this again, finally found it. Would have left my pen, but the box is too small.

Very cheeky one of the favourite places take a step back and we found it instantly

This one was a great spot! The more obvious stump got me but then we retraced our steps and found it instantly. GREAT SPOT

Nice spot

Tftc, beware of eye level sticks. Also be aware that the current log is in a smaller bag sperate from the older ones.

Great spot, tricky branches to navigate around. We swapped a flower for a water pistol TFTC

Loved the area! TFTC

Found it! Had to take a step back from the decoy hint object, but a nice snug fit where it belonged. Some lovely and appropriately coloured flowers nearby too! TFTC!

Searched around the wrong stump for longer than I’d like to admit. Found in the enD. TFTC

Out and about in Christchurch for one day together with Pyphant.
We are doing the North and South Island in one day challenge (GC5RJFK).
Nice hide. Signed as team Piraten.

Great spot for a cache. Enjoying the caching in Christchurch. TFTC

Team G0LD: Geocachers 0B80B8, Lis's crew and DaffyNZ are down from Whangarei for a few days. We've all solved the 4 big geoarts so they are the main target for the trip. Of course there were many other puzzles solved as well which filled in the 24th. The 25th was the Smurfs and Fresh Breath. 26th was Rattle and Horses. We certainly made a great dent in my solved puzzle list but I'll still have enough for another trip.

An extra stop on our route for this traditional cache. A quick easy find. Neat title and theme. Thanks for the cache

Team G0LD ( 0B80B8, Lis's crew & DaffyNZ ) on a caching mission to Christchurch. We had travelled down from Whangarei yesterday, so today was our first full day to get into it.

Solved puzzles were going to be the main focus of our trip. We had spent a lot of 2020 and 2021 solving over 400 puzzles, so we had a lot on our list. Thankfully the weather looked like it was going to play ball today, as caching in the rain is always just that bit harder.

I managed to locate this one quite quickly. Lots of mawhero inside. TFTC

Out and about in Christchurch.

This trad was in my way of going around some AdLabs.

Cheers for the cache.

Found!
After many full logs, added a new log and put all the old ones in one bag tftc

tftc, logs plural all seem full and dont have a spare one on hand

Tftc. After initial search at the more risky but more obvious stump we went back a few paces and sure enough found it almost instantly. Log was completely full and we didn't have a spare one on us.

Quaint little stream. No TB inside!

Found, TFTC

Amazing place good spot

Started looking around the 1st big tree stump I saw. Then applied a bit of logic and the red sea opened up. Thanks.

Very clever spot. Could do with some more paper. TFTC

tftc:)

Nice easy cache but never new this trail existed awesome to find it tftc

Nice quick find! I tucked it in a wee bit further as it was very exposed when I found it! TFTC!

After searching the wrong place for ages I reset myself, expanded my search and felt pretty stupid when I found it in a super obvious place
Lovely wee fairy glade
TFTC

There are multiple logs which are all full.
I found one tiny space to sign.
I tried to put them all together in the bag as previously they were strewn throughout the swag.... New log needed

Cool little find

nice and easy

TFTC this is a great one!
