Central Mini Trail # 903 ( Motueka) Lower Moutere, South Island, New Zealand
By niteowlnz on 05-Nov-12. Waypoint GC40TWP

Don't think I will replace this one as the area has been cleared and is far to open to have a cache - so will archive this one - thanks to everyone that has found and logged it

No luck

Think it’s a goner:/

This part of the hedge hasbbeen cut down, but the cache was still in place, if a bit wet. TFTC

Nice easy find this time.

Log is very wet and damaged

Easy find

Found the location easy enough.. cache looks like it could be missing from its hidy hole

Getting through a few of these, made a good start at least. All good here and replaced as found. T F T C niteowlnz.

Last day of the month and only the 5th day I've been out for a cache find, or more, so time to get some in before I have my Geo-licence revoked! And there are some more souvenirs being thrown around willy. And Nilly. So I'm up for a few finds and yet another trip over the hill. Thanks say the fuel companies, but that's my hobby. Targetted the area of Motueka and the back roads in and around Moutere but my planned 50 caches in a day was thwarted by mrs capperz's intolerance of too many p n gs so it was called off in the late teen-numbers and crept over the line for 20 in the day.
First up here for an explore along the causeway, and side roads, that I've sped past too many times but which were deserving of more attention today. Some nice finds out this way and some good old winter scenery to help the cause.

From car

TregearP and I are slowly getting to know the area better - and caching is a great motivation for heading down less travelled roads, paths or examining local memorials.

This was a quick find. Added a supplementary log as the primary was too wet to sign and replaced as found.

Thanks for the cache.

Log was damp but dropped a supplementary in and dried out cache, other wise a quick find. TFTC

We decided that we had enough time to do the trail of caches on Central road. I managed to find 9 caches in all between the Upper Moutere & Motueka. I found this geocache not far away from where we ended up parking the car. Pretty quiet up this road. Without knowing it, I had made my 400th find.

For today I decided to locate and sign a few caches in the Motueka/Moutere and their environs.I had elevenes in Mot before heading back to Mapua via this mini trail.

Cheers for the cache.

TFTC. Up in Nelson for the long weekend. I decided to head to the Moutere area today. Lovely day to be out and about in the sunshine.
Thanks Niteowinz for placing the cache in this lovely area.

Quick find on a small diversion as we headed home. TFTC.

Found it! Way to easy

Thanks

Today I started from 1957 finds and chasing down 2000. This cache was find 1971. Thanks to niteowlnz for the cache

Off on a days caching with MuzzaL53 helping him get to 2000 - well someone had to help him!! 203 for me. TFTC

time to clean up some of this power trail that we started picking off a while ago

Parked and grabbed on my way to ngatimoti. TFTC

Having Been through the ford with the shiny we were now on another road so hooked onto central mini trail. TFTC

Quick find while doing a few caches in the area TFTC log a little damp on this one

Thank you niteowinz A very good Trail .

First find along here. TFTC

Number 11 for the afternoon. Easy find.

This was a quick find as it was laying out in the open - tucked it away out of sight after doing the paperwork (just checked the hint, something I should done before rehiding it, and it looks like it's been replaced as per hint ). TFTC.

#9230. Time was getting on, so we decided to do a couple more and leave the rest for another day. TFTC.

No problems here - another good find with Just-Lookin.

Enjoying the drive around the area - would be nice if there really was 903 caches in the series!!

This was one of the most epic weeks ever, and definitely my most epic caching week ever.

Me and mum headed up on a holiday north to Nelson and very wider surrounds. In total during the trip, we found almost 500 caches! (470 odd I think, but final results are yet to be in! ) We covered about 3000 odd km I think too. Crazy! And had our absolute best caching day ever too at 160 found. Spend 9 days travelling, caching, and having the best time ever!!

So sorry about not so epic logs, as otherwise this would probably take me the rest of my life to log, especially with two big events to organise coming up! Eeek!!

Almost every single log we signed as 'Team Polak' to avoid needing to write out both usernames taking up space on logsheet - as well as precious caching time!! Haha.

Consec caching day # 704

For the sake of sanity we set off with sonia26642 for a crazy geocaching trip, aiming to cache until we drop. The main destination was Nelson and the ‘surrounding’ area, but then we ended up covering a few miles in three northernmost regions, plus a few in Canterbury. We were signing/stamping the log as 'Team Polak' or ‘TP’ for the two of us on this trip to save logbook space. We found a lot of different caches, city ones, road side, park side, up a hill and on an island, and we enjoyed every single one of them. It was good to be a professional thingfinder for a few days!

We had great fun and are grateful to all CO’s who placed caches for us to find, and help restore our sanity before returning to our other non-geocaching lives!!

Come and join us the next New Zealand geocaching MEGA event!! Register your interest now at www.nzmega2015.com to receive newsletter updates and be the first to know. It will be a great event, come and be a part of it!!

Parked by the pole and jumped out to search.

Cache found quickly but the log is a little soggy, but still signable.

Thanks

Easy find.

Log is fine - no need for further maintenance happy caching

Result!

Great stuff

Finding caches in the area

Thanks for the cache

The two horses on the road did not like cyclist, so we passed them on the other side of the road and rushed to the next cache before they could catch up. TFTC

[green] In Motueka for a family Christmas get together. Christmas is over, but the family thing is still going strong. Me, my sister, brother-in-law, niece, nephew (who all comprise cacher Bijouxtoo) are all out for a caching morning.

And then there is the super challenge: Do the Central Mini Trail... in numerical order!
Removed rusty trades.

[red] Happy Boxing Day everyone!

Very wet inside. Paper has perished. Log okay.

TFTC.

Our first experience of a power trail. Speed caching, what great fun. Thanks for setting up this trail and thanks for the cache. Greetings from Greece.

Another easy drive by in this great series T4TC:)

Thanks for the cache

Found this one easily, About time we finished this trail.

another quick find tftc

Found with Sevren.tftc

After the bad start at the first cache we attempted on the trail going north to south we persisted and managed to find every one after that. Good little trail and we had fun following it back towards Nelson. TFTC

Found while on an evening collecting a few caches in the area, TFTC, #5379

Great quick park n grab, very wet inside container.

Success trackable taken

A nice little power trail which I was able to incorporate into my drive to Motueka today. Love the rural back roads so a very enjoyable series.

Many thanks for the placement.

Easy find. TFTC!!

getting in to the swing of things

[maroon]Day 4 of our 5 day Easter caching roadtrip. Today we were heading from Nelson towards the Mini Trail, planning to go up one way and coming back via the trail.[/maroon]
Very fast find. I am liking the randomness of the numbers and the fact that we can do them in any order we want. Thanks for the cache

I found one cache on an Auckland power trail that had 100 (or 101) eclipse tins at the base of power-poles, which sounds incredibly repetitive and boring. We had none of that today, a good balance of variety, distances between changing and different containers and not too many all helped keep it interesting. TFTC

A fun evening out with integersmirk completing this "mini" trail. TFTC

Super easy, loving all the trinkets in these caches! #9 tftc!

Heading Home, love these ones

TFTC

There was a very brief "Oh no" moment when I surveyed the possibilities, but all was good.

TFTC

A quick & easy find while rediguana moved the vehicle. TFTC

Nice quick grab, not much room to park!
Cheers Gav

Another quick find - yay! TFTC.

Many thanks for placing and maintaing the caches, on a cache run for a few days to get to 8000 finds, and 2000 finds for the year.

Bitsprayer

nice easy one in the rain.

Found on an early morning cruise along the Mini Trail. TFTC

Nice hide, though my first search was on the other side of the road and the hint did not make sense. TFTC

staying in area. liked this hidey hole. TFTC

lots of budding fruit on the trees close to here. TFTC #4280

Sneaky little hide.

Wow, that was a big gap between this one and the last, especially noticeable on a bike! Maybe someone will shorten that gap soon?? Number 6 for the night, light running out. Must keep moving.

good one
thank you for the cache

Yet another one, had to wait for tractor and bale wrapper to pass on by first before making the grab.

Which pole....well can't be those...oh, there. thanks

Found 18/11 with Mr and Mrs Magpiy

My pleasure finding this one. Found cache during a day out with La Vista. TFTC

Central mini Trail 903
This trial is keeping us busy like caching bees !

Thanks so much enjoying this trail x

Not to much room to place another cache around here but we'll try soon TFTC

Nice One!!!!!!!!!!See #491. Much fun. Thanks

A quick stop along the trail. Mrs KE stopped almost on top of it. TFTC

SoBad overshot this one - leaving Mrs with more than 20m to walk to the cache. Then she realised the trinket was in the car - so had to do a double walk. As that took longer than the find it is not a serious complaint. But she did give quicker instructions for the next one. Thanks.

Find number five heading south on the trail.
TFTC

It's become obvious to me where to invite myself for dinner if I would like a nice curry! Thanks for placing this cache.
