They call it the Streak! 12th Nelson, South Island, New Zealand
By Sidewaze on 04-Aug-13. Waypoint GC4HXKN

Time to streak off into the sunset. Byyyyeeeeeeee e e e

Small cache thanks

Log replaced.

Nice quick one after school. Tftc

Risked a jump over the stream for this one we were too lazy to walk around haha.

Flying back from a long weekend in the Manawatu and the chance to grab a few caches to keep me going through the week before I head back ove the hill. Even though it was nice in Palmy today someone turned the hose on in Nelson and after a cloudy misty flight into the airport (the turbulence wasn't as bad as I thought it might be) I got back to the car and the rain started and pretty much rained on and off for a few hours. I managed a couple more Streak caches, two puzzles and some in and around the Stoke area so quite pleased to get double figures (and get drenched)
First of the 2 streaks and a nice easy find here. I'm starting to get the hang of some of the Nelson cachers now and look a little harder

TFTC!!!

Did this cache with paddle chick back in August. Decide to go geocaching today had to watch out for muggers cache needs a new log as this one is in bits.tftc

Went out in the rain for my 2nd cache, 1st in Nelson, found after about 10 mins at the location, cool little cache

6654. Our last full day in Nelson and a long drive home tomorrow so decided to take it easy, not go too far or do much geocaching. Ended up doing some biking and walking and found twelve caches. This was cache number four for the day. A quick and easy find in a secluded spot after a short walk. Thanks for the cache. Rodney and Iris.

Nice cache find. SL TFTC

On a geocaching holiday with tmann421 seeking out caches at the top of the South Island. Thanks to all the CO's for making this such a memorable trip.

Another good hide here.

Thought I was heading for a DNF as well, before I spotted it lying in the undergrowth nearby. replaced in in an appropriate spot. Cheers and TFTC

Bo hoo couldnt find it

Walking Molly with Penny .

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!!

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 # 706

TFTC!!

Approached from the wrong side of the stream so a crossing was necessary. Junior was keen to taken on the make-shift bridge. Cooler heads prevailed. Once at GZ, cache was quickly in hand. Thanks Sidewaze!

Nice quick find. Not good timing, the rain had stopped and muggles were everywhere, TFTC

Having come from Humble Beginnings (no, seriously I did : http://coord.info/GC5C5RK) I wanted to get this one struck off as I had been muggled a few times in trying to find it be it by school kids, walkers and other ne'er-do-wells!.

I disturbed several spiders in my quest only to soon realise I had over-shot the GZ by a few metres. Approaching from the other direction and I had the cache spotted.

Thanks

#7968. It seemed like a good day to polish off some caches Troodles had already found while streaking. Took me a little while to manoeuvre into a position from which I could see the cache. TFTC.

Sussed out an access point to make this cache a near drive-by, just 70m from where I had parked the car. If I had used OpenStreetMap instead of Google maps, I would have noticed the stream that was separating the parking spot from GZ [B)], which meant a longer walk than anticipated to the nearest bridge. Then I spotted the walkway from Byron Pl so just a short detour from Main St was required, instead of the meandering detour that I did take. Thank goodness I did find the cache . Surprised to be just the second finder in 6 months.

Many thanks for another streak cache to augment my streak. Day #97 today, woot woot.

Staying in the old homeland for the Easter break with mrs tws, had a great time and weather not to bad, real nice on Easter Monday

Nice hide, many thanks

A nice quick find here today on a beautiful hot sunny day. Thanks for the cache

Great position.

Staying with family in Richmond whilst on Holiday (Mr G grew up here).
Out and about on an evenings run with Mrs G. A quick find and sign. Cheers.

Merrry Christmas, took my GPS out for an early morning ride. TFTC. http://www.geocaching.com/images/icons/icon_smile_cool.gif

Nice quick find on Christmas Eve. Gorgeous day out for a walk around Stoke. A nice time to nab it. #2 for the day. TFTC

A nice QEF once I'd made my way to the right side of the ditch!!
TFTC.

Tftc

Troubled by a ditch in the way but soon on the right path. Easy find. TFTC

Quick find while out on bike ride. TFTC

Quick find and sign in the rain ,, Thanx4tc,,,

most of the rain seemed to have gone. so me and dog out for our evening walk and cache. tftc

No longer officially streaking but just slowly mopping up the remainder of the recently published caches that I haven't gotten to yet. Although my GPS seemed to want me to look about 6m away, I checked the logical spot first and there was the cache. TFTC, Biggles.

Found it but had to quickly sign on the back cause there were muggles coming

(Day25 ) so close to home so was sort of saving it for a rainy day but what the heck there are so many to find, thanks for the placement..

Not only a good wee hide but a colour coordinated one too. Enjoying being out and about in the sunshine. TFTC #5004

Nice One!!!!!!!!!!Cut across this area many times on summer evening walks around the neighbourhood. No worries with find as co-ordinates were spot on. Off for more "Streakin'"
Much fun! Thanks

Walk along here all the time. Fast find. Tftc.

Saturday night find. Thank you so much for this series of caches!!!

Finding a few caches after the event

Hard to believe but this was my first time along this piece of walkway. A nice new perspective.
Thanks Sidewaze for placing this cache.

#7209

Boy, I am on a streak, found it with the 2 geodogs. Thanks

Nice easy find on the way to work. Tftc

Today's find was made just before the rain and cold came in, which was lucky for me as I didn't have any wet weather gear with me. I love this part of Stoke and can often be found biking nearby. TFTC

Quick cache find before it rains again. This path has been so upgraded. A really lovely spot

nice park
good one
thank you for the cache

Playing catch up. Came in from wrong angle so a water leap of faith required.
Nice hide. Some one has been sucking lotsa lollies...commitment to the caching cause?
Thanks for this one.

Re containers: I happened to let it be known how useful eclipse tins were and then started getting them from all directions. So many in fact that I've had to say Help! No More!!!!

Thanks Sidewaze for keeping us going. Mr Unichel found this one today to maintain our streak. TFTC

Out to Stoke for dinner with my parents. Dinner wasn't ready when I arrived so did what what any other cacher would do when there is a cache only 373 meters away ... go for a walk. Misjudged what side of the creek it was on but a quick rock hop solved that and soon had the cache in hand. Thanks for keeping the Streak alive.

Joint FTF with Hazedarus at 10.55am, we were surprised to see a blank log still. A nifty hide too. Day 12 done and dusted TFTC.

A joint FTF with Holymu. What a surprise to see a blank log. TFTC

Break in the day - break in the weather - so a chance to do a Streak cache on the right date. Autorouting should have been ignored, but in fact turned the trip into a nice loop walk into familiar then less familiar territory. Not called Ethel so was allowed to look - but not for long. The FTF logs were up when Mrs left home so not surprised to be third to sign.
Thanks.

Wandered down for an FDF this afternoon to keep the streak going.
TFTC

Approached from Marlowe street, never been down this path before! A nice quick find between muggles. TFTC

I like this little park, has feijoas in the autumn too. Perfectly quick and easy find for those days when you've got heaps of other things to do. Thanks Sidewaze.

Great to be able to start bagging TCITS. Should have looked at the map a bit more carefully would have saved going around in circles, jumped the creek on the way back.

TFTC

Found with Brocko to nab another august smiley Thanks, easy cache.
