we had to move this regarding road works we are putting it in 510 metres away
 
14-Jun-22
Putting back very shortly now that the road is open again. Watch this space.
 
10-Nov-21
Please refer to our previous post. We have disabledvthis due to road works. We will put it back as soon as the road works are finished. Thanks
 
11-Jul-21
We are going to disable this for a little while until the roadworks have been completed. We will put it back, if not in the exact same place then somewhere very nearby.

The sauce is literally tied.
Wat ties sauce? - A string.

I've wanted to stop here before some time but I think there were roadworks and no parking. Now park&grab, without an issue.

There's also Tegel Feedmill right next to Watties there. I've worked one hard night shift at that place once, blowing corn kernels around a huge floor.

Kia ora! Paldies!

Sorry for the late logging. I had a great day driving around by myself finding caches to get the souvineers and work towards my MGSc, but not so much logging each of them. The plan was to find as many of the remaining Fresh Breath caches that I hadn't got the previous Saturday as well as any extras that I went past before heading into Christchurch for this event.

I almost parked in the right spot but ended up with a bit of a walk. I didn't muck about walking to it as it was chilly and I really wanted to get home. I was expecting something a bit different here, which is why I stopped to look, and I wasn't let down. Loved the container, thanks for the cache.
 
09-Jul-18
Wow. Its been ages since the last find here.
Was working here so a bit rude not to log a visit.

This the second find of an evening of caching out this corner of town with the Month challenge caches as the draw card for the evening. Nicely matched with the theme both in its name and its container. Thank you for this cache and another smiley face.

I drive past this one every day going to work, funny enough I once worked for Watties for 8 years, so this was a special one for me. On way to airport late with no traffic so did a quick stop to get this one, thanks

Out with THE GREEN GECKOS, caching our way from an event in the city this morning through some of the suburbs and finishing at the evening event.

Oh now this was just a little creative, and it was not till we were driving on that I spotted the reason for the name. The container was unique and creative and soon our name as in the log and we were moving on.

Mallorcatommy and I were travelling through the southern island of New Zealand. What an amazing, breath-taking landscape! On our way we did some nice walks, enjoyed ourselves and found great geocaches. Thanks to all owners for nice hiding spots... We wouldn't have been to a few places without these little boxes!

Thank you!

Every day we are traveling around is same but also different. Today we had again the pleasure to visit some very beautiful spots and were also able to find nearly placed geocaches. I thank every single owner for placing it and giving us with doing this an other good reason to come here.

We were concentrating on solved puzzles today but as we were passing by, decided to stop and have a look. Parking not so great travelling from Chch, especially with the cones lining the side of the road, but managed to squeeze in between a couple of them.

I had spent all afternoon/evening after work in the kitchen, making sure we had enough food to get us through the week so that I wouldn't have to cook again till the weekend, and making enough jars of Apricot Chutney to last out my bf till Apricots come into season again..

Was so busy I almost forgot to find my cache for the day! So extremely tired after it all, and a long weekend with not enough sleep, I managed to get me a ride to this cache - pretty far away distance wise, but just a short drive on the motorway.

Luckily it was all quiet here, and a nice quick and easy find. YAY!! Smile
And I didn't even know that this was where their factory/distributor was located!

Consec caching day # 449

TFTC!! Smile
