Great cache name! Fabulous calm day for a quiet walk around this area. Thanks for the cache

Found this one on the ground but put back where it was meant to be, good find nonetheless

Found it on the ground, have returned it to the correct position, cheers! L&E!

Found with my two kids, great spot. Left a coin, thanks

GPS wasn't working too well at the start but after re-booting my old phone & quite a bit of walking we finally found it. Great hiding spot - RobnDoc

Missed this on my first pass, but taking a closer look, I made use of a simple ToTT to extract while being careful not to touch the nearby fence (not sure if its live, didn't check...), nice hide here, cheers

Very nice and tricky cache. It is our third attempt to find it, but previous one were rainy or crowded. We didnt have any tools on hand to take the cache out of its spot so the log remains unsigned for us. Will be well equipped next time

Was tricky but we found it in the end really blends well beautiful wee stroll

Found with Sally just as well we had tott. A great hide.

Very clever hide once we worked out how to extract container with my TOTT. Found it with andyfreya

Found and posted

Great spot! Very appropriate lol. Found by myself n GeoMurray90. Nice walk to go on too.

Found it, my first too. Great spot .

Had some time to spare on the way from Kaikoura to Christchurch today so diverted to here to score a few unfound caches. This one gave me some problems at first - the cache wasnt where I thought it would be and I wasted some time exploring nearby locations. Then I spotted the cache lying on the ground near to where I had started looking. When I replaced it where it should have been I added a bit of local material to help it stay in place. Signed log, TFTC.

Took 3 attempts but finally found it! Nice hidey hole

Great little hiding place.

Nice hidey hole TFTC

Great wee hide! Didn't sign log today beause we forgot a pen, but will return!

We walked past this one on our way in. Realized when we were halfway to the next cache. So we walked on and got the pther two first. This would have been helpful to find first, to aid with locating the little piggy cache tho.
But we got them all in the end!

Kia ora! Paldies!
Thanks for the cache, zwap and LionVsGazelle!

Found with ivss_xx. I enjoy these kinds of hides.

Tricky little hide but obvious when we looked at the title.

Great hide very cleaver - found with Juju54 - TFTC

Sneaky hide here but found by us after a short search. Giving a favourite TFTC

Cool spot, had no idea amberley had a wetlands. TFTC

Went on a hunt and found that access was block due to water still laying around after the stor.

Good little hide very clever thought I'd PosT this message

Very sneaky spot, it was a challenge trying to manoeuvre around the electric fence though.

The outlet of the lagoon is blocked so the water level is quite high. Walked in from the far end but still had to wade through water to just above my ankles. Not the prettiest water I have ever seen.

We started from the carpark and met a local with gunboats on and a smile on his face. "You might get your feet wet" he says. Yep! We back tracked and came in from the other end. All good. Thanks for the placement

Yummy nice electric fence to greet you.
Great care and careful extraction I soon had the log signed a d replaced exactly as found thanks for the cache and bringing me here

Nice easy find. Bit wet walking to it though. Tftc

Lovely wee walk. Lotsa Charlottes friends. Thanks

Clever hidey hole! TFTC

Couldn't get to the cache as the boardwalk and track are under water

Out for a drive, and stopped here. All fine with the find, once I removed the spider from GZ.

TFTC zwap and LionVsGazelle, the cache was found in good order Signed, sealed and returned to GZ. 1 find(s) of 11 today, making this find #2740

Had to poke around to find this one. Tricky.

We had been for a 4x4 trip to the Waipara Gorge and then to the beach. Stopped to do this lovely walk and find some caches. This is an awesome cache hide and Mr C gets the honours here, a fav from us. Thanks for this cache zwap and LionVsGazelle.

Mr P made short work of finding the sneaky cache. t4tc

Taking a break for a leg stretch on my drive from Nelson to Christchurch today - yes, I was in Christchurch yesterday - long story. Found my way to the cache without any problems and found it in the first place I checked. TFTC, Biggles.

Found with Fisha1288. TFTC.

Took a while but found it. Very clever

Took a while to find it. Very clever

Took a little while but Cympull an I found it. Very clever

The biggest challenge was finding the access point to the right side of the lake - a waypoint would've been useful. After a couple of false starts I finally found the boardwalk that would lead me to GZ. A quick find once at GZ.

Nice place

Small

At last. With Westlake and godwit

Fi

Nicely done. Tftc

Sad with crickethawea

Looked hard with judithrichards. No lyck

We were on the way to a bush walk, but it was temporary closed, what a petty. So we spent some times with caching this day.

Found it but forgot my pen so couldn’t sign it!

Nice area to go for nice walk for end of year

Found with Darfield five tftc.

Nice hiding spot! Tftc!

Holey moley!

Quick find on a family and dog walk TFTC

A nice easy find walking on a nice day. Thanks

KrystalKath, Tama & I have arrived in Amberley from Taranaki to take up our next assignment of seasonal work for the coming three months.
We're currently staying at the Amberley Beach camp until at least the weekend as we get used to the work.
A bit cold today at only 5° maximum with intermittent showers so we've only worked a half day. Arriving back at camp
Tama the geohound and I have taken a walk further along the sea wall to the Lions park as he's been cooped up in SF all day.
This was a nice easy find with accurate coords. All in good order here. TFTC
I'm on a streak of consecutive daily geocache finds and this extends the streak to 112 days.

First time kids found it great spot

Great spot

Took myself on an outing to find a few caches a bit north. Great fun, and thanks to all the CO's! Great hide! TFTC!!

Tftc. Nearby tools handy

Great hiding place. Very wary of electric fence, have had a few belts from these in my farming days. Good cache

Neat hide, took a bit of searching. Tftc.

Great hide!

Nice view

A nice easy hide, TFTC

#8617

Nice hide, hint now makes sense; TFTC

Quick find, used a nearby tool for extraction. Thanks zwap.

First day of a few in Christchurch, so I targeted a few caches in Amberley and some close to my base off Tram Rd as well. Then the weather packed in. TFTC to all COs.

Nice easy find on a great day out. This is a lovely walk that I tried once before and parts of the walkway were flooded. All good today and the cachc was in good condition. TFTH

A nice easy find here on this very pleasant walkway. TFTC.

#204 nice little walk and very good hide.tftc

I had to get a few caches today for a personal challenge so I headed down Amberley Beach way for them.

If I had read the cache page properly I wouldn't have taken as long as I did.

Cheers for the cache.

Good to get on the correct side of the water and then a pleasant walk to the geo....clever little hide and not a muggle in sight. Thanks

Found on a caching journey into Southland today with Bitsprayer today. All caches found in good condition. Really enjoyed the challenge and the many hours spent on the puzzles caches to unravel the coordinates. Also great to travel along the many roads in the area. Many thanks to the various cache owners for placing and maintaining their caches. TFTC

A nice walk away from the sea breeze to make a find on a cleverly hidden cache.
Thanks

Had a great day in Canterbury Geo-Cacheing found over 100 caches, have not been to some of the arreas for a few years. Many thanks to all the cache owner's, still have heaps to do. Thanks Bitsprayer

First visit to this area and we had a great walk today. Good spotting by junior cacher to find this one. No access problem here today, we enjoyed the loop walk. Thanks for placing a cache along this nice walkway!

No luck today.

Track very wet in places. Took longer than it should have. Good hide. TFTC

Out on a caching mission with Busy paws and lytteltonwitch, we had a great day and worked well together as a team. Thanks to the CO's for placing and maintaining these caches. TFTC!

There's only one way to this currently and you need wellies. Approach from the Northern end of the walk track. If it rains again, it may not be accessible for a while.

Out with 2Wombles trying for heaps of caches for the Hidden Creatures challenge and also to rank up the Numbers...but the area was under water so unable to get to it.

Second time round, but this time we came prepared with gumboots and were rewarded with the cache.
Thanks

Missed the entry point to this on the way in so stopped for the lovely walk on the way out again. It really is lovely walking through here. TFTC # 12,617

Had time for just one more find before heading for home (how many times do we say "just one more?" Quite often in our world as it turns out.

I made this so much harder than it needed to be. I quickly found GZ and the cache but I mucked around trying to retrieve it. I turned something so simple into something challenging. Oh dear, thank goodness there was no one around watching me - lol. Thanks for placing this cache

Great hidey hole tftc

Planetary Pursuit is on The Seagnoids radar so we are off to Christchurch for the weekend, with Zara and Toby, to snag some caches and Planetary Pursuit points.
We have Sunday morning up our sleeves s its an amble around Amberley.
Snagged and tagged while checking out Amberly Beach. Cheers

Love the little walkway here, and nice to see a slightly more interesting cache than average, although it is a bit small to fit a path tag.
Working on my Planetary Pursuit, have got to Eris so far (1000 points) and still collecting!

Half of the walkway is flooded but we still managed to get to the cache.
Tftc

Found this one on our tour of the South Island.
Thanks for hiding!

Tide was a bit high, water covering parts of the path, causing us to go slightly off the track. But unfortunately we still got wet feet. Clever and clue.
TFTC

Really nice walk

Tricky find. Very innovative. Nice walkway tftc

Found on a nice wee walkabout stretching the legs after the St James 100 km ultramarathon the day efore. Lots of help from 3 and 4 Sharpe too . Awesome wee trail
