Nice easy find on our South Island road trip. A stunning view and the trees are just starting to show some autumn colours. TFTC
 
02-Feb-22
Managed to sign the logbook and it was more of a terrain rating of 2 and a half for me. Please note that CO’s ears were probably burning from the swear words I was using. Who knew that cookie time buckets were so strong but it gave me enough height to reach

Great view from here, quick and easy find. TFTC hill55.

Day 5 of a South Island road trip for RG1972 and I and today it is Lake Tekapo to Moeraki. A bit of driving then, and we need to leave time for side trips to the Cathedral cliffs and for a bit of exploring in Oamaru.
A pretty sweet day. There are hundreds of caches on our travels today, but we just drove past the majority. Nice views of the lakes on the left, and it’s the first time either of us have driven this road before and the towns like Kurow, although we have been through the towns that bookend the road many other times, from other directions. All caches found in good nick, and if they needed a bit of extra RITR paper they got it. TFTC all COs.

Located with Ricardinho

It was a lovely view

Day 5 of our South Island road trip and today is Lake Tekapo to Moeraki, with mini deviations along the way to the Clay Cliffs, Elephant Rocks & Oamaru.
A very cool day exploring & I've never driven the road from Omarama to Oamaru, so a win win!

Found with StreetWalkerNZ on day 2 of our Waitangi weekend to Kurow and surrounds. Today we are doing a loop trip, travelling the road east of Lake Aviemore, then up to Omarama for a late lunch back south to Kurow, finding 55 caches along the way.
I failed to find the cache, but SW, who has the height advantage, was onto it straight away. Good views indeed of the dam. TFTC.
 
03-Feb-21
On a roadie round-trip from invercargill up through the pigroot, out in the back country onto this road. Heading to Omarama. A muggle parked at GZ so thought I'd stop further away and make a cuppa and some lunch. Perfect timing he took off after my refreshments were done n dusted. Got to GZ was a butof an effort retrieving but i was determined cache all good and back in its hide tftc

Found this one on my cyclocache ride up the A2O from Kurow to the Aviemore Dam and back. I thought about stopping for this one yesterday as I towed my caravan down to Kurow but there seemed to be a muggle parked right at GZ. No problems today, the viewing area was all mine. [^] TFTC hill55.

I've started my beautiful trip of the South Island in Christchurch, I've visited many beautiful locations. I've travelled via Lake Tapeko, from Dunedin to the most southern part of Bluff. I've then continued with a cruise in Milford Sound and then back to Queenstown.
From there on I've visited Wanaka and the Haast pass to the Franz Josef glacier. I went all the way up to the Abel Tasman NP. Richmond und Nelson as the sonnierst cities were on my list as well.
I've soon reached the east coast in Picton and Blenheim.
After a couple of days, I've then travelled back to Christchurch via Kaikoura.
I've spent a couple of days in Christchurch and it's surroundings.
I've visited many geological sites and have found many caches along the way.
I've travelled 3500km and have experienced so much.
Thank you to all the owners
