MOTORSPORT MADNESS (Central Otago) Cromwell, South Island, New Zealand

I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

Will try and get this up and running again soon.

2nd time searching within 2 months for this cache even brought someone who’s found it before with me and no luck at all think it’s gone gone gone

Not lucky for this one

No sign of the cache here

2nd try at this one, the speedway was in full swing last time. Easy quick find, tftc

Found as part of a group and now continue on my own. TFTC

While working in Cromwell we planned to keep our daily streak going and to give us something to do after work. This was on our list due to having a tb that needed to go near a motor area so this was perfect. Found fairly fast but harder terrain than one as I was in flip flops. Thanks for the cache!

Found. Full log to come. TFTC

Soon found - had to tread carefully!!. TFTC

We only intended to go out for one cache before we went walking today and this is our fourth. We may even get a fifth!

Today we made a nice little tour in Cromwell. Found a lot of fruit and some other nice caches. Thanks to all the CO's for maintaining the caches. TFTC.

I have just got time to locate and sign off a few caches before I head to Twizel this morning.

I didn't find this one because I needed to leave quickly.[:o)]

Cheers for the cache.

Spotted this cache within a couple of minutes even though the coordinates were directing me elsewhere. Cache and log in good dry condition. TFTC

Nice easy find today. TFTC

No luck today.

Had a look for this but couldn't find it

Sadly we just couldn't spot it so we have to join the list of DNF's..

Was keen to drop off a racing tb but no sign of the cache.

Had a good fossic about the gateway but nothing found.

Nice big box mate. TFTC

Shittums. I was looking forward to logging the 1Lt clear sistema with the yellow clips I found under the RRP. I like how these boxes come out with different coloured seals and clips. The box when found while on Easter holiday using an old PQ wasn't too damaged, wet or dirty contrary to previous gripes and after some rubbish swag was flicked, the remainder got grabbed in clean white PVC baggy after signing log. Unfortunately a [TB](https://coord.info/TB50ECZ) left here disappeared the last time the 2Lt cache went missing and never resurfaced. When caching business brings me back to Cromwell for some hill climbs, I'll take a look at the GZ and confirm my suspicions that the cache may have been buried with new earthworks. With some hope, the CO is already on his way to administer the listing and place a new cache. Thanks for the cache smilie.

*Springtime dots are thin on the ground for September soon to be rectified with a push over the border ploughing new fields of Central Otago of it's green dots turning dozens of dates from one singular shade of green to a multiple darker green on the 'finds' table*.

I suspect this one has been buried.

Cache owner may need to check Recent earthworks might have buried this one

Found it! On another blustery day in Central. TFCT

#17005. No motorsport (mad or otherwise) was happening when we visited today (though I think there had been quite a bit over easter). Quick find once on the right side of the tyres. TFTC.

Found with StreetWalkerNZ on day 6 of our extended Easter holiday in Central Otago. Today we are heading to Queenstown and Arrowtown, our main objective: a couple of solved puzzles plus an old cache.
Motor sports are not my cup of tea but I'll happily find a motor sport cache . All quiet here on a Tuesday morning and a quick find. TFTC.

Visited the museum..took time to find the nicely placed cache thanks for the cache

Could not have picked a worse time to come here. There were queues of competitors, crew and supporters way out the gates. I waited a while until they cleared the backlog before retreiving and signing the log. Then it got backed up again. Big weekend of motorsport I think. Thanks for bringing us here.

On our South Island adventure from Perth WA. A nice easy find with Spuddycakes in tow. TFTC

A Quick find thanks

Lots of swaps, didn't have anything to contribute so left all there. Cool hide .

#1201 - On the way back to call it a night and took an alternative route to grab some more caches. The area was free of muggles but it still took me longer then it should have to find this one.

Wet and dirty container cracked

Thx

Wet inside but fun nevertheless TFTC

Found with our 2 and 5 y.o. T4TC.

Today we had our second day in Cromwell and again made a trip in and around the city, thus visiting many sightseeing highlights again. On this trip we searched, found and logged many caches, too. The weather was beautiful, sunny, very warm, no little bit cloudy, and only sometimes there was some wind.
Almost no muggels observed us as they had better things to do than observing two geocachers.

Thanks to mcmanis1 for showing us this location and for the fun we had at MOTORSPORT MADNESS (Central Otago). The search we had here today didn't take too much time.

Greetings from Germany and hope to see you soon in the forest.

The youngest of the EU crew was involved in a hockey tournament for 3 days, so some great caching had between games. The boys had fun on the go carts nearby, and then time for another cache! TFTC

Away for a school holiday escape in Cromwell, caching along the way on a crisp winter morning. TFTC 1745

Very wet inside cache. Needs some TLC.

School holiday fun. Found it with annielin and downsouthinv.

Tftc

A quick park and grab on our Cromwell caching adventures
We are on a winter road trip to track down all of the hidden creatures and find the elusive world turtle and one more step closer to my 1000 th cache.
Road trip with annielin and Abbykitt. Day three let's go !!!!!!!
more caches and more fun
Thanks to all the cache owners.

On the way home after finding the elusive creatures in Central Otago.
Interesting to note that this is one of many that i have found this weekend that have been logged on line but not in the physical cache..
Tftc

Easy find

Overthought this one initially. Easily found in the end when I did a quick once over.

It has been a busy day doing the fruit series. I was losing my touch and was getting "tired". Plus phone was flat so had no navigation to go by. Over thought this, turned out to be an easy find.

Easy find on our way back to Cromwell. TFTGC!

Spent some time this afternoon catching up on some unfound caches in Cromwell. I was misled a bit by the hint so it took me a few minutes to find this one. The container is leaking but the logbook was still dry in its bag. Not sure how long this will last though, a bit of CO maintenance would be worth doing. Signed log, TFTC!

Dusty on the outside and damp (but usable) on the inside. kept searching in the wrong places, saying to ourselves this is not a micro and it wasn't. Thanks.

On Tour with TVRAT

Found by grandchildren on very very hot afternoon.

Tftc easy on a hot day looked like cars were linjng up for a meet

Logged with GCDroid. Once I worked the hint out properly instead of walking around in circles this became a somewhat easy find. Tftc and now showing me where the speedway in Cromwell is.

Quick find with miss 8

Woke up in beautiful Wanaka on day two of my long, long weekend. Looks like it will be another beautiful day, which is such a change from the Manawatu - so nice to have the chance to dry out and not come home from a day's caching with soaking wet shoes and socks. And its nice to come across nice dry logs all day too - and not a brace or power pole hide all day - another miracle! The plan for today is to head towards Winton, gathering caches on the way of course! There's a challenge cache near home that I want to achieve on this trip, so I'm hoping to collect a lot of caches on different minutes.

Heading through Cromwell to head back into Queenstown and down to Clifden, Tuatapere before heading back up to Winton for the evening. I'm heading back through Cromwell in a couple of days, so I'll do some more caching then, but there is a couple I want to pick up today. This was a quick find. Swapped trackables.

Day 7 Queenstown - Cromwell
Once we arrived at Cromwell we visited the fruit & vege runs.This was a great way to see the country side.
We found caches in some amazing places & wonderful scenery today.
Loved the beetle at the front of this complex. Left a TB here.
Thanks for placing this cache mcmanis1

So glad to finally find this one. Thnx for reinstating it

No sound of V8's, but a Toyota giving it some

Picked up pirate travel bug

Good spot - straught forward fine. TFTC

After starting our fruit salad we decided to make a wee detour back at the main highway to get this one. Picked up the trackable. TFTC

Hmm still an hour or so of daylight left. Ms KR keen so off we go. A quick find and the smell of the nearby BBQ told me it was time for dinner!. Cheers.

Day one of our Easter holiday to Invercargill. Tekapo to Cromwell.

Thanks to all of the CO's for the hides. Cheers.

Found today with nikliv. TFTC.

Found today with hifiveitslivtime to release my first TB. This was the most suitable place to set my little chap free. Lots of swaps in here, hope my little guy gets recognised for what he is!! TFTC

I love it

Found with my nephew TP.

So much easier to find when its actually there!!! 3rd time lucky

Nice easy find

After laps in Porsche "taxi" TFTC

Sadly the weather was no good for skiing today so we decided to take a trip to Cromwell. We visited the car museum. It was too wet to go go carting. We found this one near there.

Instead of skiing we found some geocaches.

Found with mum and dad.

Starting to get dark #21 for the day. A great way to travel.

Quick and easy find. TFTC!

Quick find while put for a look at the race track, thanks

Tftc

Great! Loved the tyres!!

Easy find thanks.

Just around a bend. Thanks for the cache and Greetings from Finland!

Great place to leave car mad son's Cache Buddy! This Bear Buddy is part of a family race to see whose trackable will go the furthest so please move it on as far as possible. This is the starting point for its journey. Left it in the bag with the log as the box and some items inside are very sticky due to melted lollies, needs a wipe out.
