By debsnz on 28-Sep-13. Waypoint GC4P5N5

Yep, it's gone.

Not found.

No luck today. No pickles so maybe gone?

No luck for me today.

Lucky I had my little mates with me.
Cool find

Thanks for the cache.

DNF.

I was lucky enough to see passing train but from lockout

I went between the hint objects more than once to try and find this.. it took a lot of searching. I finally managed to pull it out of hiding. It was very well covered under grass and dirty stuff!

Didn’t find

Rail crew working there. Had to be patient.

Just couldn't track this one down today

A lovely area, we picked a great day to pass through.

A quick find. As a kid, i loved All Things Trains... wanting to be a train driver when i grew up, which didn't happen. Train journey still excites me, would love to travel this coastline one day, as well as the Tairei gorge.

Auf dem Weg zum Nachtlager, hier vorbei gekommen.

I had to spend a few minutes of searching before I could locate this treasure. It turned out I had gone to the correct place to begin with but the cache was better hidden than I expected. I do wonder if a higher difficulty rating is deserved here; there have been more DNFs than would normally be expected for a D1.5.

A quick stop and grab on the way home after our holiday. TFTC

Up for business, thought grab some caches on the way home. TFTC.

Hard but found it!

CZECH
v dešti se nedařilo

haha. Lots of geocaching trails around the various hint objects, and I think I tried every single one of them before finding the cache, not quite where I was expecting.
Thanks for placing the cache. Found on a wonderfully sunny afternoon as I cycled from Dunedin to Waikouaiti.

I drove up from Dunedin to to Oamaru today on my way to attend the weekend's Geofest Event. I ventured off the main highway a number of times to explore the country byways. There was of course the odd cache to find along the way as well. All in all a very pleasant trip with some interesting places and great views along the way. Cheers and TFTC

We had a good search around but no luck at all here today.
Thanks

A quick find today while travelling around the area picking up a few. TFTC [^]

TFTC - Geocaching today with NZ Bozzy around Macraes Flat and East Otago quickly found.
Enjoying the area on a beautiful winters day.

Yay, found it today. Had been past twice before with no luck. Didn't have a pen so took a photo. Will sign soon as am in the area regularly. TFTC

Found it

Heading to Clyde via the Pigroot so a wee detour on the way. TFTC

Yay

Yep. Found it. Yay!
I'm on a 5 day caching trip in the south island. Have a few aims - right now its to up a few specific caches that I need to complete my grid for a challenge - and find some interesting caches on the way 1800km later I can say I've accomplished my aim!

Found it- KM personal training

????

Found it

Stump

Found it

Walking by, so dived into the long grass to find. Thanks debs.

We had just hit the road at the end of the Waikouaiti museum fundraising walk, heading back to Karitane and discussing icecream possibilities. Waited while Katiew did the hard work and handed over the logbook to sign.

Des isch Easy xi drum bin i do xi. Bin auf Tour mit meiner Liebesmuggelin zum 60ger in NZ um nebenbei diese tollen Dosen zu erhaschen. Geocaching isch so Gsund do wirsch nümma rund! TFTC ! Danke fürs legen und pflegen dieser genialen Dosen..

Last time, 40 years ago, we came to Dunedin and found it so cold, wet and un inviting having lived in a Pacific Island. Now, we are here from UK and it is hot and sunny so we think this area is great! TFTC

A bit overgrown. TFTC.

today was another nice day of holiday for us duchies in new zealand.
during our trip we also found lots of caches. this was one of them.
thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Thank you for this cache

Thank you for this cache and greetings from Austria

I drove and parked my wife searched and signed. Team work was required.

After a museum visit in the morning and lunch, it was time for a drive. It was raining on and off at our campsite but dry on this scenic country drive. Thanks for placing your geocaches in such a nice spot.

There was only monkeying around off track today. Thanks

We have a goal of finding 500 caches by the end of the year and we are close but we still have a ways to go so we decided we better get out and get a few today! Luckily the weather stayed fine while we collected up a few more smilies.
Had to fight through some vegetation to get this one
TFTC

Found with Granville86a on a lovely weekend for a caching trip to Palmerston. Thanks for your cache placement

Found with MrandMrsChosen1978. A quick find whilst enjoying the drive down the coast.

TFTC!!

Great spot and a great day for some caching up the coast. It nice to get out in the sun today for a change and hoping it stays this nice for the day. TFTC

having spent a couple of days down in dunnas visiting my Prodigy KJR , it was time to head home to Geraldine so I decided to take a short detour.

quick find no tb here though tftc

Enjoying a great trip with tmann421 collecting caches along the way and getting to see some remote locations.

Another good find for us here. TFTC

Another good find while in the area with Just-Lookin.

Weather was against us today with heavy rain showers.
We found this cache quickly. SL TFTC

In memory of our friend Graham who lived near by RIP mate your missed !! Tftc

Found this cache in close proximity of a close family friends, family home. Unfortunately he lost his life recently.
Tftc in remembrance. No tb's to be found.

No trains to be seen

No monkeying around from me

TFTC nice day to go geocashing

One more down on a trip to Oamaru.

Nice morning for it, TFTC!

After attending dawn service decided as it was looking to be a good day to go for a short caching park and grab loop.

Took looking in a couple of spots o find this.

Quick P&G en route to another project. T4TC!

CJ-Curry found this one when I went the wrong way, ah well! Like some other caches near the tracks today I hoped for a train to pass, but no luck. Cheers

Hevic and I spent the day exploring the northern part of Otago. Cache #19 of 23 was one I admit I goofed a little in terms of navigation, nearly causing Hevic to overshoot the cache entirely. I made up for it by finding the cache fairly quickly, despite getting stuck by the hint object. We've managed to forget the name of the character we found in the cache though... research ahoy. Cheers!

Dodging the prickles it was soon in hand. TFTC

Took a while to find this one but eventually did. The prickles weren't too bad today.

I overshot this one before I realised and after finding a park I had a few metres to walk back. A quick find.

Today, I was heading down towards Dunedin and - like on the previous days - wanted to find some caches along the way.
The virtual at Seacliff hospital sounded interesting and thus I did the 'Ape series' along the way. Having found the last remaining APE-cache in Brazil two years ago I thought this little trail sounded suitable.
I found all caches, twice I had to search for the a little bit longer.
TFTC!

Didn't see a train but saw a truck going past on the tracks. Does that count?

Cheers for the cache.

Soaked feet, found with the Bones

TFTC

Little bit of a hunt around to find this one. A great little road with lots of gorgeous views. TFTC

Found this cache when I was on vacation in NZ. Toured along the coast of the South Island. Really loved it. Tftc!

Tftc

Sad man

Thankyou great area

TFTC.

TFTC. Found with Cache is life.

Finally found this one after a lot of looking around. Tonnes of prickles! We managed to see a flock of about 15 wood pigeon flying overhead which was cool! TFTC

No luck today! Even with three sets of eyes seeking the prize. Oh well, if it was there we'll get it another day!

Show weekend and a Road Trip to Dunedin with 'The Boys'....Karma Reprint & TheWanglers. Initially came up with the acronym KiTT but on seeing the TT looked like a Pi symbol we quickly changed to Ka(Pi) (ie. Kapai)....and a fantastic weekend it was. 3 days, 1100km, a heap of caches and great fun.
No such luck today...3 of us had a pretty good search.....next time!

Found with docndi on 27 / 6

Couldn't find it any where.

Prickles

We monkeyed around far too long here before we found this. A friendly workman from nearby who we had to explain what we were up to offered to bring over the digger to excavate the site for us. He even got into the search and seemed quite keen (sans digger).

Sad

Took a while and went over it a few times. TFTC

No luck today.

Put off a bit by a few wasps buzzing about.

Next time.......

No luck here but put off somewhat by the prickles.

Found with jangles on ouch ouch
Tflc

An easy find on a Sunday drive along the Coast Road.

Hint was useful to avoid unnecessary harm:) Found easily.

A welcome rest while biking up the hill but this one eluded us

Looked for quite a while among the plants, stumps, brambles etc. but gave up in the end as the GPS wasn't helping and the area was not particularly pleasant today. Thanks anyway. Rodney and Iris.

Easy find, no trains. TFTC

Well last day down here in the deep south so that means a last trip to collect a few caches before heading back to book out of the motel.
Still its a few hours before it gets even remotely light so just a matter of working the plan to meet the requirements of the current GCLS stage that I am on and keep moving.
Eighteenth one of the new day and clear star lit skies to boot

Thanks for the placement
