I have removed the log, will get it returned to CO so it can be replaced

Disabling until placement issues can be resolved.

Found the log exposed, can't figure out where to return it to so have taken it with me to keep it safe. CO please get in touch so it can be returned

Cache keeps going missing.

a cool spot and an easy find. Thanks.

We've moved it as it was muggled twice. Please be aware its not on the bridge anymore.

While I was liking, a runner came past and he said he had seen it on top of the sign a few weeks ago. He didn't think it would last long and it looks like he was right

Well it appears to be gone again, so we may have to consider other options.

Found it quickly because of some help. TFTC

Passing over the bridge today and stopped to check on this one - couldn't find it where I found it a month or so ago. CO might like to check up on it.

Thanks for that Debs

The missing log has now been replaced so it's all good to go.

My second cache in Dunedin. Good idea for a cache. Thank you.

A few minutes to kill in this general area. Interesting hide/container. Thanks.

Second visit here as the first time there were so many muggles coming and going. Today the area was deserted which gave us the required time to check out a couple of possiblities and we came away smiling. Found with Aoraki Sheep.

At first glance there doesn't appear to be many hiding places but it did take some systematic searching. Found with debsnz

Came down to Dunedin for the weekend for a competition on Saturday, but had to make the most of time and do some caching while at it!

Had a bit of time before competition, so decided I better find a cache along the way, incase I get injured or soemthing, so as to still get an extra day on the streak!

This was closest, and my brother who was with me had already found it, so I did have a back up! However cache was in hand quickly.

Consec caching day # 475

TFTC!!

Found on the day I hid Another cache as you wish - originally looking to put knightime one around here too. Don't know how I forgot to log this find online.

This one sounds intriguing from the comments but I couldn't find it. I need a better GPS got starters. Prob hunting with someone else would be good too

Crossed the away from JA1274 and then back again. Found with Lollipopcat and Spydude13. Kia ora for the cache Courtneybaby.

Found with Lollipopcat and Us04. TFTC.

Definitely been a cache here in the past! Took two visits. On first occasion GPS had me sufficiently far away from cache that I didn't search the spot where cache was subsequently found on second visit. Nice hide. TFTC.

Luckily not too many people around today so plenty of time to search. Not the type of container I'd expected to find but easily found all the same. TFTC

TFTC.Lovely day. What else would you do but get some cache

Thanks for the cache, on of many done today. weather a bit wet, but had alll the hard ones done before the rain - Bitsprayer

Great to see an old bridge like this still in use.
Signed the log with real relief as I looked at the structure.
Thanks

Luckily the cache was located very quickly by Erninz as the rain was starting and temperature dropped. TFTC

Approached gz with tunfisk with a good dose of apprehension after reading previous logs... looked around for a good while, considered the hint, looked around a little more, and then I noticed something I have not paid attention to previously - and sure enough, there is was!! TFTC!!!

Took a long time to find it but eventually found it.

Stegan's comments saved me a lot of time in the search for this one. A clever wee hide I thought. Grabbed whilst on a quick supermarket run which made this find #18 for the day - a quarter of my total from last year!

TFTC!

If I hadn't had a tip off may have never found it.

sorry for the late log tftc

I really over thought this one with its d3 rating and the trouble that the WEKAs had. Given those factors I did a careful systematic search which made things a whole lot slower as the cache was at the opposite end to my search area. It was also sticking out just a tad. TFTC, no pen so I will upload a photo of the log as proof. Cheers. 47 consecutive days of caching for me now.

Good one Louise and your baby is lovely

Had an enjoyable wander around afterwards inspecting the train

Found at 11:34:00 a.m. on 14/01/2014.

Found it without too much trouble but it was a bit of a challenge to replace it with all of the passing Muggles

At last thanks to some helpful assistance from a friend. Mrs W arrived at the cache site on her bike leaning it on the fence. A young man approached stopping right beside the cache and adjusted both shoes, studied his phone and continued on. Cacher?
The cache was in a place where we had both looked at in the pouring rain! Why we missed we will never know.
We do wonder if a person in a wheelchair would be able to retrieve it?

Coordinates changed from:
S 45° 52.573 E 170° 30.527

Coordinates changed to:
S 45° 52.571 E 170° 30.530

Distance from original: 17.8 feet or 5.4 meters.
Coordinates very slightly updated.

First to DNF! We spent some time in the rain, searching at the coordinates, although we note they aren't totally consistent with the cache description, but were unable to find the cache. We also wonder about the size, as there aren't many places big enough for a small cache. Maybe it's a micro?

The rain has stopped, the coordinates have changed, so let's try again. Another 45 minutes of searching still failed to find the cache.

FTF! Very clever & unique hide:) Thanks for the cache

2TF. Sneaky. Glad I didn't go over my 5 minute search limit on this one.
Nice first one.
