31 Geocaching Souvenir Challenge Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand
By Hello Mrs on 07-Aug-13. Waypoint GC4HQ31

Unable to maintain, Retired

Covid gave me more time than I knew what to do with. After checking challenges and solving puzzles I qualify for this.

Quick easy find, happy to tick this challenge off far from homebase tftc

Itchyfeet2020 fulfills challenge 31 Geocaching Souvenir Challenge (GC4HQ31) according to https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC4HQ31/6560

Glad to find today. I have 60 souvenirs. Thanks for the hide.

Qualify for this one with 134 souvenirs. Now to go find it

Have had this one on the list for a while but finally made it over to claim a find
Currently have 53 souvineers but if my maths is correct, this find will earn me another peak and therefore 54 souvineers
No trouble here...just a dog who didn't want to listen to her owner coz the park was far too interesting and a few other muggles who passed through while I was signing

Screenshot attached of qualifying souvineers Don't think it was specifically part of the requirement, but always fun to record anyway.

Log full so added another. Found on a trip to pick up puzzle and challenge caches sorted out during lockdown. Thanks.

Quick find although needs a new log sheet that is wet and full up
I have 110 souvenirs TFTC

Got 47 so far so will be along one day. Probably with loads more.

A quick find here. The log us full and didn't have waterproof paper. Good to get this dot day filled.

Up from Dunedin on a roadie from Auckland to Christchurch to get a good number of North Island PWGT caches and some others.
With the North now behind me I will concentrate on caches for challenges and finding challenge caches. I currently have 43 souvenirs.
With a DNF as last log I figured I’d start my search a little away from GZ. Finding nothing, I moved closer and found the cache tucked away where it should be. Managed to squeeze my name in there. Logbook is pretty much full.
Thanks for the challenge.

Unable to locate sorry

Found room to squeeze my name in.

What should have been a quick find took a bit. Missed on the first sweep.

Nice Challenge cache find with woolwood9

Just checked project GC to see it I qualify and I have 89 souvenirs. I will collect this at some stage.

Day 10 of my 2020 NZE (New Zealand Experience).
(My apologies for the delayed logging but I'm in catch-up mode)

Seeing as I can't be in America right now, I'm touring around the South Island instead. During my time here I am aiming to find as many of the TMGT caches as I can (preferably all 41) and also as many Virtuals, Earthcaches and Letterbox Hybrids as possible, plus any Trads or others that will fill a hole in my D/T grid, my Jasmer grid, or else the last 3 remaining Hidden Dates on that grid.

Having slept parked up in Kaikoura overnight, I awoke to a very fresh but otherwise beautiful morning. Today's plan was to drive from Kaikoura back to Christchurch to catch up with an old friend there before heading further south after that.

Whilst I would simply not be able to stop at every cache I was near on my tour (otherwise I'd be taking 2 years instead of just 2 weeks) I was targetting a few caches such as this Challenge one as I had checked my qualification before I started my holiday.

After a little bit of searching RTB73 and I could find this one. I have already fulfilled the challenge. TFTC

Spending a great time in New Zealand with canadianfriend75 we also have visited some caches. At the moment I have 54 souvenirs which you can see in my profile. The country, the people, the nature, the cleanliness, ... amazing. Thanks to a special country for a great vacation and also TFTC

Day 2 in Christchurch for the long weekend with the crew from Dunedin and South land. First one for the day found with KJR, Natalie247, CJ-Curry and Hevic. I have 101 souvenirs for this challenge. TFTC ?

In Christchurch for the long weekend with some of the crew from Otago and Southland. Today was spent targeting the eclipse series with Gadget169, Natalie247, CJ-Curry and Hevic. We started our morning with this one and we all qualified with at least 31 souvenirs...I have 67 TFTC

With no Mega in sight for the weekend, a bunch of Otago and Southland cachers invaded Christchurch this weekend. Today I cached with Hevic, Gadget169, K.J.R, and natalie247 to blitz our way through a bunch of caches in and around western Christchurch. Apologies for the C&P logs but I'll never catch up otherwise!

Qualified easily with over 100 souvenirs. No issues at GZ here - cheers!

In Christchurch for the Otago/Southland raid on Christchurch... as their is no Mega this labour weekend we decided to make our own mini Epic event. Stopped on the way to stretch my legs and hunt out this cache.

I have currently 148.

***[======== NZ Mega 2020 ========](http://nzmega.com)***

Planning for the [NZ Mega 2020](http://nzmega.com) event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, 23 to 26 October 2020. It's going to be a massive celebration of geocaching:

* 20 years since New Zealand had the very first geocache hidden outside of USA.
* And it's 2020 - all the 20s!

Talk to your geo-friends and start planning to be part of [this event](http://nzmega.com) - you won't want to miss it!

I didn't know how many souvenirs I had but was pleased to find I'd met this challenge tftc

The log sheet is plastic but was still wet, so the entry is a bit smudged. It could do with a bit of drying out. TFTC!

My open statistics show that I have earned 183 souvenirs.

I surprised myself by finding that I have 76 souvenirs. I am not a souvenir gatherer so if I happen to get one, I get one and if I don't, well I'm not fussed.
Always nice to find a cache though! This one was a quick find. TFTC.

I had the afternoon to cruise around Christchurch before dropping off my rental car and I was targeting puzzles I had solved, dates placed or challenges I qualified for (available on my project GC page). I didn't set out to collect souvenirs but so far have just got my 40th one which was a surprise in itself as I vaguely remembered there was a series of them released at the end of last year but as I was so busy with study at the time, it didn't really register with me. So I was expecting on the last day of 2018 to get the last cache souvenir, I was not expecting the "you might be a trackable lover" one. Anyway, made my way here today and it was an easy find, be ware the bright shiny thing in the tree that contains something dead!

Down from Northland, visiting the South Island on a 7 day caching and sight seeing trip. The main object was to find the last four CANZ caches, finish off my D/T grid, fill as many spaces as possible in my Jasmer grid and then concentrate on special types, solved puzzles, completed challenges and those with good numbers of favourite points, plus maybe a few extras that were close to any of our stopping points.

The trip started off on a good note, with our rental cache mobile being little more than a week old and only 109 kms on the clock. It certainly had a few more by the time we returned it..!

This was one of the completed challenge caches ( 58 souvenirs so far on my profile ) that I needed to find and it wasn't that far from the airport. At GZ, I did get distracted by the unusual object in the tree and it did take a couple of minutes more before the real cache was located. Managed to sign the log and replace, just before a muggle walking her dog came along. TFTC

With over 120 souvenirs obtained to date we easily qualify for this (stats available to see)
Cache found today and log signed
TFTC
Tim and Viv - ddm

Finally had the chance to return with Ethness today and rectify a previous DNF,.... with 132 souvenirs at date of signing, I well qualify. TFTC.

I can claim this cache and will add my evidence when I am back in Wellington. TFTC

We came by this challenge on our way to Kaikoura! Tftc!

First cache I have found since arriving in new Zealand ( seems fitting that this cache is going to give me the new Zealand souvenir aswell) at the current point in time I have achieved 70 souvenirs, thanks for a challenge cache and for bringing me to this location. A favourite point from me.

We're travelling to NZ in December, so I'm checking some challenges. For this one, we meet the requirements! Still 3 months to go, but we can't wait!! Counting down... Greetings from Belgium!

No trouble qualifying for this challenge. Cheers and TFTC

I have 41 souveniers which are available to view on my profile page. When reaching GZ, I noticed quite a bit of tree pruning from council upkeep. With a degree of concern, I had a good look and found with relief, the cache is fine. It's wet but the rite in the rain paper is OK. All signed and replaced ready for the next person. TFTC

adding qualifying caches for when I am in the area

We were heading north from Christchurch. We noticed that Challenge Cache on the map and that we qualify.
We found the little container after a few minutes search.
Thanks for showing! Tftc

I was looking through my extensive 'ignore' list this week- and discovered this one- and realised I qualified, so 'un-ignored' it. Seeing the dnf made me a bit worried- but as it turned out, it was a very quick find. On my way very happy. Thanks Hello Mrs

Finally qualified for this find but never got around to signing the log. Tried today but no luck. Will check again next time we're passing

### challenge ###

----------

What a beautiful day to visit these challenge caches.
I am taking this challenge!

Thank you and best greetings from Germany
Team sissifalke

https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC4HQ31/6560

Our tour of New Zealand is almost at an end and we are picking up some selected caches of interest in various ways to complete our finds for this month.
All were not difficult to find, each log was autographed and each container was returned to its place.

At this stage our statistics show that we have been awarded 69 souvenirs, so we are very happy to be able to log this cache as a find, with having completed the challenge number required.
Thanks to Hello Mrs for placing this cache and issuing the challenge.

20 January 2018 12:14. Not obvious for me today, but I will return!

I'm from Norway, escaping the cold winter and travelling around New Zealand for 7 weeks, using geocaching as my tourguide. Today was my last day in Christchurch, so the focus was to find all of the challenge-caches. I love challenge-caches, that's what made me addicted to this game, and that's what keeps me going. It's also nice to collect the rewards for all the hard work.

About this cache:
I am qualified with 74 souvenirs. I have attached a screenshot as proof. The cache was quickly found thanks to the good hint. Tftc

We knew some time ago that we qualified. Thank you for the challenge, here is the list from [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC4HQ31/6560 "Project-GC Challenge Checker")

I have earned a total of 110 GC souvenirs so far.
I think they were introduced in 2010? If I'm not mistaken, the first souvenir I got was the [10-10-10](https://souvenirs.geocaching.com/SouvenirImages/MTAvNy8yMDEw/ce75f48f-28b4-4bef-b21a-55b433208fe3.png) one. For the first couple of years there were so few of them and they were so rare and special that when the "31 Days of Geocaching" came around with a whopping 31 souvenirs, I remember them being actually received with a negative attitude in the community. Of course, I had to get them all! At the time I had a streak going on already, so my 31 days of geocaching actually started when I had already had around a 100 of days of Geocaching.

I really like the idea of country souvenirs - they should make it for every single country out there!

Cache itself - an easy find despite the darkness.

My consecutive mystery cache find day #41
#5482

Over from Australia to attend the Oamaru Geofeast. In Christcurch caching with Di Morgan and doing this series while in the area. Ran into a few other teams along the way.

Used ProjectGC and came up with this.

I will add my list ASAP or please check my satistics.
Thanks for placing this cache Hello Mrs

Visiting from Brisbane with Slow Puncture for the Oamaru Geofest, and we're seeing all the wonderful sights the South Island has to offer as we travel along. Day 5: An early start as we ventured out of Christchurch in a big loop hunting challenges, solved GeoArt, and older caches. We were stunned by the beautiful views of the Alps across the farmland of Canterbury Plains.

Tuesday. Slow Puncture has teamed up with Orange Crew to make a Moreton Bay assault on the Oamaru Geofest. Day Five saw us take a large loop out from Christchurch, West towards the snow-capped mountains, before returning and doing some urban caching within Christchurch itself.

This was the 1st of 71 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***Hello Mrs***, for showing us this place. Qualifying caches previously advised.

Visiting for the Oamaru Geofest and having a few days in CHch before heading south. Finding a few challenge caches before or after doing the geoart out near Darfield. Have over 70 souvenirs at this time.

Came by in the dark, but couldn't put my hand on the cache. Got pretty gross by checking some rubbish in the bushes. I'll try again in the daylight...

Found quickly today, I recently got to 32 souvenirs. I remember seeing this cache when I first started and thinking I would never get to 31 souvenirs but an overseas trip definitely helped up the numbers. Thanks for the challenge!

...On my list to collect next time...

Paddle Chick and I are in Christchurch for a few days and decided to do a bit of caching ,as I qualify for this souvenir we went to find it .Tftc Hello Mrs

Heading out to see a friend in Belfast when I noticed this 'unlocked' puzzle cache on my phone. Since I've unlocked it, I'm pretty sure I have passed the 31 souvenir mark.
Thanks for the challenge and the smilie

Today Mrs Biggles and I are driving to Christchurch to go and see the awesome Ian Anderson and Band playing the best of Jethro Tull Good to be able to stop and find a few caches along the way as well. I logged my qualification for this challenge on 26/10/13 but never quite got round to coming and finding the cache. Sorted that out today and found the cache after a short search. TFTC, Biggles.

Out with Red Roaming as we make our way across the globe, as I have taken early retirement and this is my 'Reward!!' to myself. Logs signed with our initials or our full caching names to save space and time.
cache quickly found and signed. TFTC
please see my note of 30.11.16 as I qualify easily for this one

Logging as qualified/visited/signed log having posted a note in preparation of our visit. Many thanks.
Travelling around the world with Dartmoor Deliverer to help her celebrate taking early retirement!

NB Dont forget our Devon UK Mega 2017 this August in the beautiful East Devon area of our county. UK Megas are over one week full of events and geocaching - a wonderful way to enjoy our county!

Editing log to correct daye

#3588. I had a work trip to Canterbury on the Thursday and Friday but decided to stay over on the weekend to fit in a couple of big caching days. I am working on the DGSC challenge and need some 50+ days for the bulk find elective. So Saturday and Sunday were earmarked for getting some big totals. Fortunately the weather was fine and sunny on both days. Managed to locate about 130 caches over the weekend and about 150 over 4 days. Stopped here on the way north to another series of caches on the north side of the Waimakariri River. Quick find for once. Signed log and replaced as found. Thanks for the cache. (see also my write note on 1 March)

I am heading down to Chrsitchurch tomorrow for a few days. Might get a chance to visit this cache. I used [Project-GC](http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC4HQ31/6560 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if I qualified for this cache and pleased to see I did.

Greetings from Krakow, Poland!

Preparing for our trip to NZ and scrolling through challenge caches.
Please see my public profile which displays the 1-31 August groundspeak souvenirs as my qualifying finds, which I hope the CO finds acceptable. Thanks,

Red Roaming and I both qualify for this cache. We are coming over in March next year and hope to pick this cache up then. Please see my public profile for my qualifying souvenirs. (I was in the middle of a 371 day streak so actually pick up all the 1 - 31 souvenirs that August!)

Thanks for the Challenge and the hide our first on our brief South Island trip. We qualified in Aug 2013. A nice ginger cat said hi

I wasn't a very active cacher back in August 2013, so I missed out on most of those daily souvenirs... I have had to wait quite a while to gather enough at other times, having only got 31 recently. TFTC (3144)

I carried out maintenance on this cache today for the CO. It now has a new container with lid.

I completed the requirements for this challenge some time ago and found the cache on the way to work this morning. Thank goodness for waterproof log rolls. All was in good order except for the missing lid. TFTC

cache needs some tlc

cache is still there luckily coz I have just qualified for this with 31 souvenirs , cache still missing a lid and contents not looking to good needs some tlc

Appears to be missing.

Just a quick needs maintenance log to advise the CO of the missing lid. Cheers

3rd cache for the day, and I was hoping to find this cache while down, as I have completed the task.

Unfortunately the container has lost its lid, I have put the log up towards the bottom of the container, and placed the container upside down. I had nothing suitable on hand to cover the container sorry.

TFTC!

To be honest I am not so crazy about the souvenirs. I do love those special ones you get for every country or a special achievement. But when they gave a souvenir for every day in August it was a bit too overdone for me.
I have 41 at this moment, would love to remove a couple, so that the most beautiful ones are on top [:0]

Found the cache without lid, turned upside down
