Guess I'm one of those Cachers that will have to offer return another day and give it another go to find the surprise.
 
07-May-17
Left itchy and cacheless... again. Even a PAF didn't get me any closer...
 
27-Feb-17
Quick find by my 7 year old before I got a chance to look! Thanks to all cache owners for taking the time to place and maintain your caches. BJ25.

So itchy now but pleased to have found it after having looked unsuccessfully once before. Thanks for the cache!

We were long overdue for a caching adventure with daughter and granddaughter, and today seemed like a good opportunity! The weather was beautiful with only a few intermittent spits of rain and the wind picking up late afternoon. We found a few on our list, and even managed to get a proper coffee into the day [^] TFTC!!

I've been wanting to get some more caches found, and I managed to convince mum to come join for doing so! So we headed out today to see how many we could get, focusing on finding the solved & unfound ones. We didn't do too badly, getting 24 for the day, and with the baby actually being pretty chilled most the day! - Perfect for finding heaps of caches! Razz Haha!

Another speedy one to get the count up for today.

TFTC!! Smile

Logged a DNF on this cache a while back so thought I would have another go while on my run. Well it wasn't this easy last time, it wasn't even hidden! TFTC
 
27-Nov-15
We were on a Mission over this side of Town,and this one was closeby.A Muggle walked past us while we were looking..What must he have thought,we were doing.If he had stopped,he would have got a quick lesson in Geocaching..TFTH

03-Nov-15
My last day in New Zealand with Dutchie1950 and Triciac2 so out looking for a last few caches before we fly home to Australia tomorrow.

This one was a quick and easy find on our way home from a trip to the local supermarket.
 
03-Nov-15
# 1049 - On a mission with Rhyssa6 and Triciac2 on our very last caching day in Christchurch after the Mega.

We needed to do some shopping and Rhyssa6 was after her daily cache, so we picked two up today for good measure.

Really enjoying the area and variety of caches.

Easy find, good for younger people
 
27-Aug-15
Down south this week for some time with our local rep for some training (and after a couple of caches which I have targeted as in need for some special attention to meet the challenge that is the DGsc Challenge Twisted further North. Big Grin along with Zorgon's Virtual Challenge.

It has been a mission to get here as time is always the curse for these out of town stays, and also the weather had to play its part (which it did) in the adventure.
Last morning down here in the south so a final chance to find a few caches to keep the numbers rolling along for the challenge that I am working on. The one good thing about this time of the day is that there are few opportunities for muggles to interfare with the cachers activities.

So again thank you for the FUN of the hunt Cool
 
17-Aug-15
I was cringing when I saw the vegetation but thankfully it didn't take too long to find! No sign of the TB though.
TFTC Cool
 
03-Aug-15
Cool
 
26-Jul-15
Woo finally! Spent a few times checking all over for this, and in the end it was so straightforward. Ah well.

Thanks to all the CO's for their hides.

Easy find on a family bike outing. Thanks
 
05-Jul-15
Gave it a nudge but no luck, a bit too exposed on a Sunday afternoon. Cheers
 
27-May-15
In Christchurch for work stuff but with spare time today to go and find a few caches. Took a little while to spot it but as it's a good size cache I did eventually find it. After signing the log I put it back where it came from. TFTC, Biggles.
 
19-May-15
Arriving at GZ and looking at the vegetation there, I was about to turn round and make a rude comment about flax and tussock in my DNF - however, the container was in full view and that is how I left it - so will let sleeping dogs lie.
 
03-May-15
A quick find and it was looking a bit empty so I added a few little toys to the cache.
 
26-Apr-15
Cruising around the Canterbury area , picking up caches as I go

Tftc
 
25-Apr-15
Finally! We really hate places like this - just the box in the bush. But at least a smiley.
 
19-Apr-15
Brunch out at Halswell for the 2nd day in a row - this time I found a cache to mark the occasion....
The cache was pretty exposed. Thanks, Minions.
 
14-Apr-15
Easy find
 
05-Apr-15
Easy find thanks
 
03-Apr-15
Tried coming at this one from a couple of angles, but no joy. GPS jumping all over the shop. Felt too exposed to try another shot now so will have to come back.
 
22-Mar-15
Nice easy find thankyou nice wee park
 
21-Mar-15
Tftc , im glad we kept looking!
 
19-Mar-15
We weren't too sure about this one- it has a checkered history of finds and dnf's. Feel very exposed!! Looked and looked- re-read logs, and like others- went back to starting point and then tried again and all of a sudden- bingo- there it was!! tftc
 
19-Mar-15
had one of those moments when we thought how could we have missed that but good to cross it off the list. Thanks
 
11-Mar-15
Easy find thanks had some fun
 
08-Mar-15
Hunted for a little but couldn't find. Stopped and went back to path. Started search again and found straight away! Excellent hide! TFTC!
 
08-Mar-15
Searched high and low but DNF
 
14-Feb-15
Quick find.
 
14-Feb-15
Had been here twice before with no success with just too many plants to search in such an open place. With a specific hint from a recent finder we headed out again before it was moved off that location and we managed to grab it this time. Good to finally get this one.
 
14-Feb-15
Quick find this time.tftc
 
08-Feb-15
Took a lot of searching but we finally found it!
 
01-Jan-15
Easy find, happy new year TFTC Cool
 
01-Jan-15
Simple find on a boiling hot day! Happy New Year!!
TFTC!!
 
29-Dec-14
We were unimpressed to see what awaited us at GZ. Begrudging search efforts yielded no cache, and we were deterred from a more thorough approach by previous DNFs.
 
28-Dec-14
Felt like I looked everywhere but still didn't find it
 
27-Dec-14
GPS jumping and lots of possible places to hide so left it after searching for a bit. Will be back.
 
11-Dec-14
Easy found TFTC
 
11-Dec-14
Found reasonably quickly while working in this area. Dropped in a TB. By the look of the log book, it has been found by a few children too. Cool
 
07-Dec-14
Our friends recently bought a house in this nice area and invited us over for a cup of tea, so couldn't miss this chance to a grab a cache before heading to their place. One of the previous logs provided a great hint, which was handy given that my GPS signal was all over the place. TFTC. Day #200 of current streak.
 
30-Nov-14
Got it, nice spot!
 
21-Nov-14
Great to finally get this one! Must have been hidden more thoroughly last couple of times. Took 2 tbs
 
21-Nov-14
Found it
 
31-Oct-14
Thought I'd better find this one, but then stumbled onto my favourite flax bushes with delightful spider webs. Yuck - all over my pants! Found the hide after a bit of a wander. Managed to squeeze a couple of trackables in for a visit and hitchhike with someone else
 
25-Oct-14
After reading some of the other logs I knew I might be walking away with a DNF. Started a grid search, but must have missed it. Will return.
 
13-Oct-14
I was with my friend and it keep saying 1m and we were like "WHERE IS IT!!!" Until we saw something we picked it up and found it. It was so fun
 
29-Sep-14
Hunted for far to long,and was also surprised not to find this little Rascal.Will keep a Watch on it..
 
14-Sep-14
Why couldn't it be out in the path for us too!!! We spent quite a while here searching and gave up. Some local kids thought we were looking for a lost cat! Sallies, where oh where did you hide it.
 
09-Sep-14
6208. Out this way today on business so called in and found this cache. Son Wayne was with me and, on arrival at GZ he said, " I don't suppose the cache is that black container with white label that I can see from here on the path!!!". Hid it a bit better after signing the log. Thanks for the cache. Rodney and Wayne.
 
31-Aug-14
A quick find - and time to stop and think about a neighboring cache that had us stumped - which we went back and found.

Good find. Still safe and sound.. Smile

No luck today. Next time.......
 
23-Jun-14
Looking in the wrong area for about 5 minutes. Quick find once your looking in the right location. TFTC.
 
16-Jun-14
Don't usually like these hides in flax and glass but I don't like to give up either. Was about to, when something caught my eye and there is was. TFTC
