Sunday caching adventure. Thanks for the hide.

Great fun, out with Baird fmly, for lolly scramble adventure now in the sun!

Great day lolly scrambling with C Boyd in the sunshine. Took us a while but spotted it eventually. TFTC.

My little boy loved finding this one. Thanks to all cache owners for taking the time to place and maintain your caches. Team Broadbent (signed TB on micros). Find # 2161

In Christchurch with abcdf4 for zephyr club convention and tagged along to pick up a few caches. A lot of quick easy finds and tons of parks and grabs. Thanks to the COs.

On holiday in CH/CH for zephyr Car Convention
Weather was great.Up early to get a good day cacheing
Thanks to COs for your placements
Happy Easter

A planned geocaching trip with specific targets in mind.
1: The final 2 caches to fill my D/T grid
2: The last 5 caches available (all in the South Island) to meet the NZ Jasmer challenge GC4R9Z6
3: Get as many caches as possible in a day (Solo)
I had no timetable and only a vague route (Christchurch - Dunedin- Invercargill). So after 20 days of sleeping in my tent/car I arrived home having traveled 4500km and visited some interesting places. Met some great people. I had found over 650 caches. That was a lot of park. Jump out out. Find cache sign and return. Then on to the next. All this done by myself. Also attended an event and had 2 FTF
Mission 1 and 2 were achieved and I had a best day of 153 caches. All this done by myself.
Day 16 Glentunnel to Waikari 76 caches found. Decided to do this series. I enjoyed the work that has gone into this. With every container I smiled and thought about the memories it brought back. Thank you for the placement

As part of an eight hour maintenance run along the Lolly Scramble this cache has been replaced.

Quick easy find TFTC

Nice

One of 12 caches located along South Eyre Road today, last day of Queen’s Birthday Weekend and still dreary and drizzly! Needed to get out of the house to do a few caches. Quick find. #1833. TFTC.

Clever idea for a cache container. Milk bottles and smokers are my least favourite lollies though! Thanks for the hide. #2870

Quick find. Tftc

A day dedicated to as many finds as possible. TFTC

Arrived into the S.I today. Our 1st stop was to pick up our Juicy van & then hit the road towards the westcoast.
We chose the area of the lolly scramble to take us towards our destination. We stopped where we found it suitable with a car we were not used to.
We found such a variety of containers along this route, a nice war to start our trip.
It's so lovely & green & not having to worry about snakes sure is a big plus.
Thanks for placing this cache MandMCachers

Sorry for the late log, recently retired and have some spare time now for catching up on all the bits of paper I have lying around.
TFTC had a big day caching back on 31st August

I am amazed at how such bright containers that are so easy to find have not been ruined by people who don't get what we do. This is probably my most enjoyable day caching yet, I really really enjoyed finding such an array of containers, many of which I have never seen before. I found myself imagining what I migt find at the next stop. This is definately a trail I will bring my grandkids to if I ever get to bring them to CHCH. Thanks so much for the enjoyment I have had today

A beautiful day for a walk and some caching. This cache was a quick find. TFTC.

Wow what a day, started at 7.30 just as daylight was arriving and the misty rain had me worried, turned out to be a great day with a total of 120 caches not the goal I had set myself (next time we are here we will try the 270 in a day again) but still a great goal at 120, thank you for placing and maintaining the caches we found, sorry for the copy and paste logs we had many to find and only recorded if damage or logs replaced.

Nice use of the container again. A great little hideaway. Tftc

#3611. 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. Managed to locate about 130 caches over the weekend and about 150 over 4 days. Decided today I would do the lolly scramble series of caches along this road and any other caches encountered. It was a really enjoyable series with well themed containers. Once I got my eye in, the finds sped up as the day progressed. Certainly a very warm early autumn day (high of 29 degrees). This one was another quick find. Nicely done cache in theme. Signed the log and replaced as found. Thanks for the cache.

We are from Canada and visiting relatives In Christchurch for a few weeks. Started the lolly pop trail last week and we are finishing it today. Thanks to those who set up this trail. It has allowed us to check out an interesting area.

Begins our holiday in NZ in Christchurch, we came from Italy to find our son who lives there for two years.
Long trip, but surprisingly we arrived there very tired, almost two days and two nights without sleep, but it took just 24 hours we got used to the new day.
Having Been to Akaroa and Kaukoura, and trail AHHH FRESH, today we decide to make a part of the trail from Kaiapoi to Oxford, we will find many cache, not the other will find, before we left we had decided to devote no more than three minutes for each cache, if it was not passed over it, some need maintenance, beautiful landscape and few cars on the course.
Thank you for suggesting this trail
Greetings from Italy
TFTC
Eccoci finalmente in niuziland e dai e dai ci siamo veramente, appena arrivati capiamo che sarà dura, cena di qua invito di la, andiamo a vedere questo e quest'altro.
Dopo essere stati ad Akaroa e Kaukoura e terminato il trial di mistery AHHH FRESH, oggi decidiamo di fare una parte del trail da Kaiapoi a Oxford, troveremo tante cache ,altre non le troveremo, prima di partire avevamo deciso di dedicare non più di tre minuti per ogni cache, se non si trovava si passava oltre, alcune hanno bisogno di manutenzione, bello il paesaggio e poche auto sul percorso.
Grazie per avere proposto questo trail
Saluti dall'Italia

In Christchurch on holidays visiting family who are also Geocaches and they mentioned this trail. So on our way back from Castle Hill today we decided to try and get some!! We have really enjoyed this series and the thought gone into it! We hope to be back in the future so we can do some more!! TFTC!!!

Have been saving these caches for rainy days....and have been busy with emergency works. Another day I couldn't resist two...Thanks for the series.

Another great cache container loving this trail. On a 11 day caching trip around the south island. Log signed as b&p.Tftc M&Ms. Find # 3354

On a day that started with bright sunshine, then some hail and finally drizzle, a day spent in the Christchurch area doing the lolly scramble series and some others. TFTC.

Found today left a diamond. Thanks for the cache.

Ah warm school milk yummy quick find tftc

Yum we love milk bottle lollies!

Nice cache. Tftc

Headed out for a day of caching with Mr. Kiwi, to celebrate my 30th tomorrow. We had planned originally to nail our 400th - but the effects of both recent celebrations and real life in general meant we decided to cruise through the lolly trail, fruit and vege loop and whatever else came our way. It was a great day out together, and we were grateful to the cache owners who take the time to set up and maintain their hides.
So to you all, TFTC!

TFTC

Found it

Cool container boys tried to figure out how you did it. Tftc

Nice cache. Thanks

We are having a few days in Chch visiting family and of course finding some caches as well.After a couple of days SW of the city today we headed NW and as well as most of the Lolly Scramble trail we found several others in and around the areas nearby.A great variety of containers and hides made it a very enjoyable day. The logs were signed HZ+HM, H+H, or on some case with our full names.Thank you to all the CO's for making these 59 finds possible today.

It was a combination of holidays, family visit and caching. Since our last visit lots of trails have appeared and there were many puzzles to be solved. And a lot of trads thrown in for good measure. We almost forgot what it's like to be cut, scraped, prodded, pricked, bruised and stabbed by the large variety of hedges you can find caches under in Canterbury. We were not deterred and it was fun to find them. On our way home again and trying to find as many caches as pos. In the end they made us stay another night in the area Thank you MandMCachers

Husband loving these. 16Th for day.

Decided that on my last day of my holiday I'd do a blitz in the area before I fly home tomorrow, now a very tired bunny!

what a long (straight) road that is. followed the one or other series... nice caches. All easy to find and spot on. very creative and themed containers. loving it. thanks from Austria

Another one down, tftc.

??

Another favourite. Last day of our holiday - thought we would see about cleaning up one area of the massive Christchurch geocaching play ground. T4tc

Last day in ChCh for Pagenz and myself so thought we would play the numbers game today but doing the lolly trail and a few others added into the mix. TFTC

Found on a nice day in the area

Nice and easy tftc

As if we didn't get enough sugar at Christmas, here we are today getting our fill of lollies.

Really enjoyed this series of lolly scramble caches. Loved the different cache containers. Went out with injeanious, we had every sort of weather, sun, hail, thunder and lightening! Thanks for the cache!

What to do with a free Sunday? Go geocaching! We decided to do the Lolly Scramble trail today and we had plenty of fun doing it. We even had a couple of bags of lollies along the way. It was a lovely day to start off with but it soon turned to hail, so we did a bit of dashing around.

We quickly found the likely spot or the cache, but there was nothing there. Jess.daphne spotted something lying in the grass. Could that be it? Yup, that's the cache. We filled it out and put it back where it was meant to be. Tftc!

Sorry about the generic logging but I have many to log from the mega in Kaiapoi.
I had a wonderful time at the Mega with my Mum and Nanna, I couldn’t have imagined it any better myself!
TFTC!

This was my second visit to Christchurch in as many weeks, a fortnight ago I flew down for the Mega event with my family in tow, this time I was down to attend a conference held at the school of Education. My wife generously agreed to allow me to stay an extra day (and night) to explore the city and do some Geocaching. I made the most of the opportunity and found just over a hundred caches during my visit. Having already completed the ‘cutlery’ series earlier in the day nearby I decided to soldier on and find some Geocaching sweetness by having a crack at the Lolly Scramble series (with the odd detour here and there).

Rather than finding a Geocache here I found a real bottle of cream half full, lumpy and smelling like it had been there for a week too long.

Cool hide

A quick find on my drive along South Eyre Road.

Today was allocated to be the day to do a run up South Eyre Rd to sample all the different lollies. Also to sign off other trads that were in/on the way.

Cheers for the cache.

Out for some Mega caching with Kyzabra, Jinta29, Gunnie69 and Ghostgums.Saw some beautiful countryside today and had a blast caching. Thank you %owner for placing and maintaining this cache.

A caching expedition that has been months in the planning. Jinta29 and I headed over from Perth, and today we met up with the GreenGeckos again for a final day assault on NZ caches.
We have had a ball over here. Personally my first trip to NZ. The cache owners have been great and Ive enjoyed meeting people aling the way.
i apologise in advance for the generic log.

MandMCachers - Kyzabra found your cache Lolly Scramble: Milk Bottles (Canterbury) on 28/10/2015, 7:34 AM. This is my find #4264 and find #20 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Kyzabra and I headed over for the Christchurch Mega from Perth, WA. Today we were joined by The Green Geckos today and we targeted some of the larger series around this area.

We had a fantastic time caching in the cooler climate and with no fear of snakes or other nasties! Christchurch is my old home town but I did not know about caching when I lived there so it was fun exploring the City with a different objective.

We were glad to grab the smiley on this one and we replaced the container as found. Thanks MandMCachers for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

This is my find #4363 and find #21 today.

[green] Out with Hanknstone, Haydn.seek and thestepahine on an awesome 200+ day. We managed to get 210 caches in 11 hours, an average of 3 minutes each. There were a few awesome caches out there, but mostly it was a blur. Thanks to all the cache owners, and my apologies about the cut and paste!
Signed log as HHSS.
One of my favourite sweets. But I prefer the original recipe.

Hanknstone, Haydn.seek, the Seagnoid and I had a challenge of doing 200 caches in a day. We started at 7:30am and finished around 8:00pm with a total of 200+. Apologies for the copy and pasting of the logs but there were so many we found that it would take so long to write them all up individually! Thank you for the find.

love MILK BUBBLE LOLLIES! The next on our 210 run finding caches for the day with our team of four- HHSS. Working as a team each doing diff. roles we were able to speed up the find rate quite well and we managed to do about the first 100 with no Did Not Finds but after that the distances increased and the find rate dropped but we still managed to finish the day with 210 cache. The seagnoid has planned etc our route so it was all efficient Thank you to The Seagnoid for this pre work and thank you to the different cache Owners for these great, interesting caches. I just loved the huge chuppa chup and all the veges and fruit. . Thank you for the cache and another smiley face.

Out and about with Team FARKIS (fmz, alpenmilch80, rosmar, kiwi.bug, indianajill, slieschke) finding a great mix of cache hides and cache containers. What a mad bunch of cachers to be with, loads of fun and games with very little sleep over the 3 nights of the MEGA TFTC.

On a geoholiday road tripping to Christchurch MEGA and around beautiful New Zealand. Our four people group (temyllyl, laalaa, kapeka and myself) from Finland used group tag FIN to log the caches.

On a Mega weekend caching around Christchurch area. Lots of fun and nice places with good caches. Thanks for the cache!

Welcome to MEGA Finland in 5-7 august 2016!

Our main focus on this Mega trip has been on picking up solved puzzles, but we have heard great things about the Lolly Scramble series so decided to spend some time this afternoon following the Lolly trail. And we were not disappointed - loved the themed "containers." Our afternoon was made even more enjoyable by the Mega traffic, flags, toots and joint finds with other cachers.
These would have to rate as one of our favourite lollies, so adding a point here.

Found it with Team FIN [janahola, kapeka, laalaa & temyllyl]

We had fun with caching few weeks here in New Zealand. Lots of geocaches and many sort of them too. We saw awesome places, weather was pretty good all the time and people were friendly and polite. Caches were pretty similar like in our home country. Of course there were some exeptions. Nice and really scenary country!

Greetings from Finland

Out and about during the mega event with Team FARKIS (fmz, alpenmilch80, rosmar, kiwi.bug, indianajill, slieschke). This was one of the caches we found during the weekend. TFTC!!!

FIN (laalaa, janahola, temyllyl, kapeka) holiday in New Zealand. Wonderful time and we had fun.
Greetings from Finland.
Thanks for the cache.

Tenth day on our geo-roadtrip in New Zealand, and caching our way towards south. Logged using our group nickname FIN with janahola, laalaa and kapeka. We made it to Christchurch, so now it is time to do some caching!

Our team for the Mega weekend was signing as VYV (Vamber, Yorkshirekiwi83 and Vistra). we found quite a few in the short space of time we were together, where I can I will make comments about the cache. We had teamed up back in Auckland and had been busy planning what we were going to target and in what order, of course plans changed even more so when we were down here, but that is part of what makes it fun and I had a great time over the weekend, thanks to all the CO's for placing.

Well themed caches and a great trail, quick find TFTC

Day 3 in Christchurch and I again teamed up with yorkshirekiwi83 and vamber for another big day of caching. We signed the logs as "VYV" to save time and space on the logs. We made an early start to the day as we knew we would be going for 200 caches. We started with the Lolly Scramble caches (which we had begun the night before) and made our way up to Oxford, before returning to Kaiapoi and working on the Horses 101 series, finding a number of other caches along the way. Apologies for the generic logs, but thank you to all the cache owners for placing these caches!

I have to wonder? Was there a huge lolly shopping trip before this series was put in place? Sounds like a plan!! Loving the memories they invoke. TFTC.

Caching with capperz and G H 6 7 1 0 chasing caches and numbers across the Canterbury area. Was a great MEGA weekend and thanks to all the CO's who made it all possible.
T F T C . Logs signed as G C N for our 3 caching initials.

parislaura, Team jacob and I flew to New Zealand for the 2015 Mega.
Never having been out of Australia before, this was a very exciting trip for me
Today was a busy day with caching commencing at 10:58am and ending at 1:30am the following morning with 71 finds, 1 Mega event attended and 5 DNFs to keep me on my toes

A pair of stalwart North Islanders decided that they would be up to a late night cache hunt and so fire-mansam, Fuzzyfruit and I left from the Twilight Picnic event to get some lolly caches
21:26 we made our first sweet find and 1:30am we made our last find before heading for home.
All up, we found 39 of this amazing series and thoroughly enjoyed all of them
A great variety of ccahe hides with humour in all....a FANTASTIC cache which had to be filmed in action, some easier and some harder retrievals and lotrs and lots of laughs from us as we enjoyed the cloudy, then clear, then foggy night.
My thanks to the CO and family for their creation of this fun series [^]
