Found with NZNina - finally figured out my password, sorry about copy and paste as can't remember all details from day. TFTC
Walking with my sister and friend and decided to get some caches on the route.
Took the goat track up near this one. Located the mentioned item and then had a quick look around and had cache soon in hand.

This must an amazing spot to stop and re-catch your breath on a good day. It even comes with a natural seat for (about) two. Sadly, today isnt one of those 'good' days, with thick, grey cloud to ruin the view. But at least its keeping the temperature a little lower. TFTC out here

A nice quick find with KittyCat2006, after our original plans were thwarted by the trails being suggestively shut due to asbestos clearance...
TFTC!

Fantastic autumn day, perfect for scrambling around boulder bay. I thought to myself, there must be a geocache areound here, and low and behold there was! Unfortunately I did not bring a pen. Might come baxk one day soon with the kids and drop one in, as the cache has plenty of room for it. TFTC
Back in the big city for a search and rescue workshop weekend so a great chance to knock of a few more caches...
Spending a few hours around Taylor's mistake
No dramas with this one nice quick find cache all good tftc

In a few hours the country will change to to Covid19 Alert Level 2 so the cache has been enabled in readiness. Stay safe. Use hand sanitizer.
Due to the government ordered Covid-19 lockdown, I am doing my bit to slow the spread. I will not be accepting any Found logs on any of my geocaches for the period of the Level 4 Alert.
Please do not embarrass yourself, your hobby and your country by thinking that geocaching is essential - it is not.
STAY HOME. STAY SAFE.

There is some great views from this spot. Thanks for getting me out here. Tftctnlnsl
The detailed hints made this a pretty quick find, and thankfully away from the masses on the tracks. TFTC BaldEd, all good.
Today’s main aim was to go for a walk to Godley head from Taylor’s Mistake.
This was with my sister and my brother in law, their dog and my geomutt (for the day anyway) Jed, who I have been entrusted to look after while staying here.
A good walk, and it was quite warm and surprisingly busy on the trail. But before and after I got to get a few other goals out of the way, including quite a few of the TMGT caches out Lyttelton way.
So a good day, quality over quantity, and the dog gets to sleep well tonight. Everyone wins. TFTC to all COs.

Turned in a lovely warm day for our walk. Took a few minutes to find but we got there in the end.
This took a bit of finding, the GPS'S were not settling. Collective find with Coconuts3 and Lytteltonwitch. Geocaching sense eventually paid off. TFTC
Out for a great day with busy paws and lytteltonwitch. We visted and revisted the boulder before finding the cache. Did see the retainer bolt too. Thanks for bringing us to this lovely spot, enjoyable walk and stunning views plus the cache BaldEd.
With the beautiful weather, we decided to spend the day at Godley Head. What a good idea! ️ After some minutes looking with the GPS, we turned to the hint. Using it it was a matter of seconds to find the cache. The container was wet, as the logbook. As the place was very nice, we decided to picnic here. We dried the container, spread out all its content, open the logbook and let the sun and wind work for us. Hopefully, it will help for a little while. We also removed all the dessicant, that were completely wet.
I’m down in Christchurch and collecting a few smileys whilst I’m here. I had a great walk this afternoon around Godley Heads and part of the way down the Crater Rim Walkway. Loved this area - thanks for bringing me up here where I had a pleasant lunch break and admired the views, TFTC PS Took me quite a while to find this one - I thought that the cache was south rather than east
Grabbed while out on a family walk. Breezy and cool. Thanks to all cache owners for taking the time to place and maintain your caches. Team Broadbent (signed TB on micros). Find # 1820
Staying in DOC campground & decided to conquer some of the unclaimed caches. This was a quick find with lovely views looking down to Boulder Bay out of the beastly easterly. Dropped off Nickel TB.
Excellent hint. Had no troubles finding it. Great views today. GLB1721 TFTC (4194)
Once we found the little cacher’s path it was easy to find the landmark boulder and search to the east. A stunning view from here! TFTC
This might have been difficult after rain, but on this sunny Sunday the climb was not too hairy. TFTC
This was the seventh day of my driving trip down to Oamaru for Geofest 2017. I stopped every five to ten kms or so along the way to grab a cache. This expanded my driving time to a total of two weeks to get there and home again. I ended up going a total of 3,500 kms.
After doing some others, I came down almost directly from the road, which led to a few steep descents. TFTC.

A bit of to and froing at GZ, but eventually found the cache, nice views and plenty of pictures were done. Grabbed the TB George to travel but alas did not see the otherTB.
What a fantastic walk we had, not usually a coastal pair of walkers but this was a good convincer to do more. Thanks BaldEd for the cache. Again hi from Aussie, cheers Kookacrew.

My GPS was bouncing and then led me straight there. No bolts. But good find and fantastic view
There were lots of people out and about today, but no-one near GZ and another quick find for StreetWalker. Lots of flowering succulents on this part of the hillside so quite pretty.
Grabbed the TB, then after admiring the view, carefully made our way downhill to the track. TFTC.

#14105. The last few metres to GZ was a bit uneven underfoot, and needed a bit of care. Cache was found right away. We spotted bolts in a rock; interesting to learn of the reason they are there. TFTC.
Found on a lovely sunny afternoon out walking with my Mum. She waited near the bottom while I scrambled up to the cache. Swapped TBs. TFTC!

A nice evening dog walk among the sheep.
Very interesting to read about the "cave baches". That was something new for me. Now I'm curious to come back and somehow try to spot or get to the sites where the dwellings once were!
Also, stumbled upon a good blog post with pictures of these unique 'houses' here - [lostchristchurch.wordpress.com](https://lostchristchurch.wordpress.com/2013/03/21/port-hills-cave-dwellers/)
An event worth noting - we finally said farewell to Captain Jean-Luc Picard and placed him in this cache. He was travelling all around with me since the MEGA in October. Hopefully someone worthy will pick him up and continue to boldly go where no one has gone before!

Please excuse the copy ans past. Massive day out today, I have shown some peiple what geocachiing is all about and today we decided to go for a wander around Godley head and score a few caches, take in the views. No dnfs. Had a blast and challanged our selves by going off track ans up hills like mountian goats. My new freind will be nurophen. Thank you for placing and maintaining Boulder Revisited (Canterbury) geocache, from Mr Cuddly Brick Found on this awesome day the 15 January 2017, sweet cache number # 1651
Beautiful weather, geocaching outing with some work colleagues around Godley Head. Great fun and well placed caches for exploring the area. Successful day out finding 8 caches all up before heading back to the city for a cold one in 29 degrees! Love this walk. TFTC
So hard to find for me, more southerly uphill than east. Great views and releasing a cache I've had for a while back out into the wild! Best of luck, tftc
At World’s End – New Zealand – One of our dream become true.
Our plan was to stay 4 weeks in New Zealand. But this wasn’t this easy to manage at work. So we moved spontanic the plan from march to november. We informed us before about point of interessts. The list was this long so we decided to go by campervan from the north to the south to have the most mobility. We arrived after way to much hours in Auckland and started there our round trip. At first we enjoyed the area in auckland and the north. In Waitomo we were able to see and enjoy glohworms in one of the famous caves. But this area had a lot of nice hiking trails were we could discovered the Piripiri Caves, Natural Bridge and the Marokopa Falls. This was already impressive to see and still the beginning of our adventure for life. The trip went on over Okere Falls Scenic Reserve direction Rotorua. In this area we enjoyed each hour, because each corner was different. We visited the Haumurana Springs – what amazing water -, Blue Lake and Green Lake and relaxed in Kerosene Creek. We liked all the water and in our travel guide we found a hike cloth to the Huka Falls, which ofcourse we did as well. All this flowers were bloom. One oft the Highlights was Wai-O-Tapu. The weather was perfect and all this colors awesome and the geysir a nice shower. By Campercan the to tour went on direction Tongariro Alpine with a short stop at Orakei Korako and the Tongariro River Loop Track. Lu like nice hiking tours and what could be the best for her birthday? Of course the famous Tongariro Alpine Crossing. We started early in the morning and walked approximately 9 hours over gras, stones, snow and colorful water. Now we had to leave the Heart of North New Zealand and went over Taranaki Falls to the East Coast with the goal Napier. The weather was cloudy and often raining but a small sightseeing was a must have. The last stop on the North Irland was Wellington. But it was only raining and some streets were already flooded. That’s why we change spontanic our plan and only did the First Cache of New Zealand and went by ship over the Marlboro Sound to Picton. We went over Farewell Spit to the lonely Wharariki Beach with sea lions. On the way back to the big streets we stopped at Waikoropupu Spring and Janie Sesson Shipwreck and drove untypical to Karamea. In Germany we do not have this much and public caves and that’s way we enjoyed this area! Cloth to the West Coast we took a look at the Pancake Rocks. The weather was just raining and so we could not see the Franz Josef and Fox Glacier, but we still visited them. We leaved the bad weather in the hills and enjoyed the Sun at Ship Creek, Thunder Creek, Fantail Falls and the Blue Pools. Wow they were relly blue and this clean and deep. I never saw something similar before. About Wanaka we read a lot in our travel guide and looked forward to it. There arrived we visited the Puzzling World and walked around the sea. Queenstown the next town we drove just through because at this time there was a marathon and it was really campervan unfriendly. So we used the time and drove to Milford Sound and enjoyed the hills surround us on the water. I never felt this small. After we are landed again on land the trip goes on to the Chasm and Clifden Caves and the Clifden Suspension Bridge. Wow what an adventure. At the end we visited a few cities like Bluff, Duneding, Moeraki Boulders and Christchurch were our Trip sadly ends.
At all this places we looked for nice and unique caches which shows us places which we never would had seen without. We enjoyed the nature and wildlife each day and it was really an adventure for life. At the end we drove approximately 5000 kilometeres and felt this relaxed.
Thanks to all owners for placing this caches and this much informations which we got about the particular areas. This was an adventure for life for us. Thanks for this beauty time.

Beautiful spring evening, lambs jumping, good swell for the surfies. Geodog not happy that he can't play with the lambs. Tftc
Found with odgersaj when I didn't understand the app/have a prem account - now I do though! Signed the log back then but didn't do the online bit so logging now. Thank you!!
Found it near the end of our Taylor's mistake Godley head circuit. Pity about the extra hill!! Tftc
Scrambled up for a quick find .
Tried to work out what the nearby bolts on the rocks were for?
Thanks

I thought it was a while since I've been up here, I found the previous one in 2009 in the pre-kids days. Today, had one kid on the back and two running around the place who enjoyed the walk out here from Taylors Mistake. I was wondering what the bolts were for, now thanks to the hint (which I didn't need out in the field) I know. Cheers BaldEd
Good find on a hot day! From here we could see the swarms of people walking up from Taylor's Mistake, there were heaps. TFTC
Labour Day Monday, we headed off for a day at Godley Head. Loved the history and scenery!
A lot of succulents all over these slopes - a garden escapee?

After a long night collecting geocaches my muggle friends and I decided to head out for a hike. They told me about this great spot which I enjoyed a lot. The view and sun was just perfect . TFTC
We walked around the coast to enjoy the sun before we went to a event in the afternoon. We found the box after a little searching. Thanks for it
Think I found the hardest route to the GZ for this one. I walk this trail often and this was the last cache to be signed off. Great winters day for a long walk after a week of arriving and leaving work in the dark. No sign of the tb. Tftc
We were after the cache before this one but Muggles at gz caused us to carry on to this one. On the return the muggles still insisted on sitting on top of the cache.. Ah well another day for that one but Thanks for this one. Nice hide too.
