Nice warm sunny morning. Grabbed this one on walk out to the beach. Not too many muggles about. Tftc
was quite easy this saturday afternoon ....
Today again a scenic route from Hokitita to Westport.
This was first a beautiful, sunny day - but it started raining when I arrived the pancakes. Later sunny again but abain rain in Westport. Temperature was always abaunt 20 degrees.
On the way around the world I also found this cache. The coords are right on the mark.
The cache is in good condition and the log paper is nice and dry. I took nothing, left nothing, and signed the log paper.
I carefully replaced the cache right back where we found it.
*thanks to steveo34 for your cache*

Quick find while out on the MTB catching up on a few caches on a Saturday afternoon. TFTC.
The 3 Dudes were driving through New Zealand today, relocating to another part of this beautiful country. After a quick stop for some delicious pies at lunch, we quickly grabbed this cache on the way back to the car before resuming the drive.

SisterCorny travelling Asia and Oceania for four month, now in New Zealand.
Having arrived from Nelson earlier today, we went on a walk around the town and up north to the beach, exploring Westport, the river and the sea. We were surprised about the beauty we saw most of the time.
Had to look around a bit and wait for some muggles to pass on, but then found it at the obvious place... TFTC

We flew into Invercargill to catch up with the rellies last week. Now its home to Wellington via West Coast with maybe a cache or two to break up the journey. Greymouth to Karamea today.
Photo stop and grab a cache when no-one looking, we hope.

We have driven down from Nelson today and decided that before we went to our motel we would take on The Cape Foulwind walk and the caches on it. After completing the walk we arrived at our motel and went to find somewhere to eat and while doing so grabbed a few caches on our way. At this time of the evening there was no one in the area so a quick find was easy. TFTC
Only time for one cache after lunch in Westport in a brief break in the weather. Thanks to the hint it was a quick find, but the coordinates would have done that as well. The muggle factor was significantly reduced by the weather we suspect.
Thanks.
Thanks.
A long weekend proved to be just what it said on the tin; a weekend that was long. With mrs capperz trapped in work for 2 of the 3 days this weekend a plan was made to head over to the West Coast for some caching, with the added bonus of some fine weather too. Forecast was for clear skies and low 4, high of 15 degrees, which is some preferred caching weather. Also in possession of a geocaching map of Westport being virgin territory there was every chance of finding a 'few'.
A slight chance of one of 2 FTFs in Westport and the bait was dangled and too good to not take a swipe at. Headed off at 0830 on Sunday and got back around 1830 on Monday so a full on couple of days with park n grabs, beachside specials and a walk along the Cape Foulwind walkway (there wasn't any wind, and it wasn't foul so thinking of renaming it Cape Nicesun.
Day 2 of our trip and most caches were on the Western side of the Buller river. We've now done the Cape Foulwind walkway so now it's time to find a 'few' more before, and as, we head towards home.
High muggle area but stealthed the container in and out and away again we went

Getting into mugglesville a bit more. Used the natural cover as well as Mrs ToT sitting on her bike while retrieving this one. No sign of any TBs in here. TFTC!!!
I was fortunate enough to be able to squeeze an 11 day holiday out of two leave days!! I headed out west to find some caches, see some sights, and relax before the madness of the semester hits. The weather was unbelievably good, only a bit of a storm over Arthur's Pass on the first day, otherwise hot and sunny. I found a great variety of caches, drive by's, walks, hikes, even a power trail. Thank you to all the CO's for their great hides!!!
Chocochunk and I were out to explore the town of Westport after it had been lightly raining most of the morning. We wanted to give the earth some time to dry off before we went for a hike on some tracks. We had a nice wander around, picking up on the vibe of the activity of the CBD. Nice to see Westport thrive. It is such a nice place. This was a nice, easy grab. Did a TB swap.
The last one for the night as it was getting dark, we found it ok and signed the log. Then set off for our motel. TFTC
Wir hatten unsere schöne Cacherserie für heute abgeschrieben, als wir vor der Bibliothek doch noch super schnelles Internet fanden und schliesslich unseren Anker hier setzen konnten. TFTC

Found added paracord keychains.
Travelling down the west coast we had to stop for some caches Thanks for taking the time to place the cache, hopefully by the time we finish this trip we don't have anymore mishaps (so far our new fridge has died, a person crashed into us and the brakes jammed up and it took two hours to sort out with no service and only the milk tanker stopping to see if we were ok, the water pump on the camper sounds sick all in the space of 4 days)

I couldn't remember if I had found this one on a previous Visit to Westport - a check showed l hadn't- TFTC
This one took longer than it should have but there was the cach safe and sound. TFTC.
Maybe I just don't look hard enough !! Couldn't find , there were a few people around so was tricky
Cold and Wet - it just doesn’t stop raining but we went out and found the cache anyway. Have decided to spend the night here as we think we were a little ambitious in planning on getting to Nelson today. We had a choice to highball it to Nelson or Cache along the way. Not surprising we chose caching. TFTC
A raining day around Westport. Finding caches in town on a Sunday morning. Tftc
A quick find, but a lot of muggles around. So it was easy to retrieve, but hard to re-hide. TFTC
Quick and easy find after filling up with fuel ready for the last leg of our South Island tour. TFTC
TFTC stopped in after dinner and grabbed this one on the way back to the motel. on a motorbike trip around the top of the south island and went from Motueka to Westport today what a fantastic ride that was.
