Quick Catch-Up & Fish Event Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand
By Cats&Dragons on 26-Nov-14. Waypoint GC5G6X5

thanks to all

Sorry for the late log of my visit, but the last year I traveled [url=hoppundweg.piekar.de]around the world[/Url]. Together with Silli1310 we attented this nice event on our first full day in New Zealand, because it was nearby our hostel. We were a little bit sceptic how would it be, how do react the people from the other end of the world. We were not disappointed, it was a warm welcome and nice talks about the cache situation in New Zealand. We got some nice cache advises, but the time was to short to find all of them. Thanks a lot for this nice expierence, hopefully we will have the possibility to come back to NZ - we enjoyed our two month in kiwi country.

Nice to meet a few folks. Just there for a short time.

Arrived to see lots of people in a very popular area of the park - joggers, tourist groups, trendy boot camp recruits swinging the pastel colour coodinated kettle bells and of course the fighting fit geocaching group gathered under the shade of a big tree. Thanks for organising this event, Steve, to show off the lovely venue in a rare day of terrific weather! Also, first I heard about a 2016 North Island Mega planned for Turangi, perfect location for cache & release ...by the way, fish (fat trout) can usually be seen in the Avon river from the nearby bridge! Great to meet up with everyone, if only briefly, as I had to dash off .

An enjoyable event on a lovely evening. Met some new faces and got some helpful hints to solve those pesky puzzles. Thanks Cats&Dragons for organizing the event. M&P

It was a quick visit towards the end of the listed time- my day's work seems to gave overflowed today!
Thanks for organising the vet; great to see people on such a lovely evening.

Great to see everyone! And great to have an event so close to home again, as it's only a less than 10 minute bike ride!!

Love events, and was nice to chat and hang and all.

And when I got home, the meatballs that I had put in the oven were perfectly cooked, and not a little bit over or under! And I didn't burn the house down!! Yay!!

Consec caching day # 752

Last minute decision to come along and had to fight the traffic trying to get out of the city as we were coming in. Nice to see new and old faces and have a bit of a catch up. Was looking to do a cache or two while at the park but muggles galore in every direction. Next time. Thanks for the event.

After checkin at YMCA in Christchurch, I saw this event nearby.So I can sign the logbook, after a short walk through the Botanic Garden.Nice to meet geocacher from NZ and Germany.

In town for a couple of days from Oz. Good to catch up with some locals and get the good tips on where to go. TFTE

Yesterday we arrived in Christchurch and recognized, that there is an event today. Great! Letˋs go there and meet some cachers from New Zealand. We met many nice people and learned a bit about the country and where it is good to go caching Thanks for organizing! It was nice to meet you!

Excellent day for it, thanks for organising!

Good to have a catch up, meet new people and pick up a few hints and tips on the harder puzzle caches. Thanks for organising this event.

I certainly didn't catch any fish this evening but I sure did catch up with old friends and many new ones. Thanks for hosting this Steve. I look forward to finding more of your caches when I'm next up in the Waikato. Cheers

Thanks for the event and catch up. Good to see you again. Racing off to go giraffe hunting.... and a cache or two!

Great to catch up with old friends and make new friends. A lovely evening for it.

I always enjoy events. This time I got a few puzzle tips. I also sent a travel bug on a journey with some other cachers. After the event I went off with MacPacMum and found a few giraffes.

Great to catch up with a few people I knew, and meet some others for the first time to put some faces to names. (1432)

It was great catching up everyone tonight and what a lovely night for it, too. Thanks Cats & Dragons

A good catch up with a few of the usual suspects, and a few from further afield.

Thank you for the event

A great Night for an Event,and was well attended.Not long after leaving we were stopped at a Police Breathalyser Road Block.Terry talked into the Machine thingy and of course he was waved on through.
We had a slice of Christmas Cake before leaving..Huh!! It obviously hasn't got enough Sherry in it.Lol
Thanks for the nice catch up Event.Cheers Barb,Bonnie^..^ & Terry..

A beautiful night for the event. As always great to meet other cachers.
Thanks Cats&Dragons for organising it.

Great get-together. Some new faces too- that's always good. And some I still can't match names to faces- oh well there's always next time. Thanks Cats&Dragons- lovely to meet you

We hope to attend,as it is always great to have a catch up with our Friends..And say hello to new People

See you there.

It is our plan to attend barring last minute dramas

planning to be there with Corunnaroad

I will try to get there unless Vodafone suddenly decides that they will reconnect my internet package tonight.

Should be able to make it. M&P

We would like to join our first GC Event here in NZ. We are looking forward. Spanxx and NightOwl90.

Sounds like this will be fun, will try to get to this.......My dog is having a birthday on this day too, She will be 11.

Lo Vista should be able to make the catch-up event.

Really hope to get there but no promises - depends on work and weather!

We will be in NZ and Christchurch on that day so may be able to find some time to attend

I hope to make it. Look forward to seeing people .

Depending on a number factors kinda out of my control, a definite maybe.

Published

I'm a definite maybe- technically I finish work at 1900 but usually get to sneak out about 1820. Factoring in travel time I might almost manage to make an unofficial log signing . Is the finish time 1830 or 1850? There's a wee conflict on the cache page.

Sounds good. I guess if I follow the coordinates I will find the triangle.

The end event time is about 6.50pm -7pm
But then theres no reason it cant be one of those events that keeps on giving

See you all there
