Yayyyy! Back again 3 months later after a DNF and a quick find today! No muggles...TFTC!
Woohoo, came back after cache was replaced and orange cones gone. I am very of containers. TFTC
Was with chRcheuse looking for this one! We were able to have a pretty good look, so suspect cache is missing.
Great little stop for a cache. On the Great Taste Trail bike ride and stopped for this one. TFTC
Gefunden als Cache # 1858.Vielen Dank an Isis58 fr den Spa des Suchens, das Herfhren und das Legen und Pflegen sagt Tiggaro!
Out of a cycocache ride from Tahuna Holiday Camp down to Richmond and back mainly to sign off solved puzzle caches and the odd trad that gets in the way. I thought this was going to take a while but the excellent hint soon enabled me to find it quickly. TFTC Isis58
After years on our bucket list and three cancellations due to Covid, we are thrilled to finally be here. Following several cruises we flew from Sydney, Australia to Wellington, New Zealand to begin our next adventure. Picked up our rental vehicle and will be driving, exploring, hiking, and caching both islands for 3.5 weeks. We found parking and walked the trails to reach this spot. Had to wait for a few muggles to pass-by a few times. Once they cleared we quickly located the container and added our ink to the log. What a neat bench!Thanks for adding to our adventure today, Nukeworker and Racquetball Girl, Arkansas, USA
Checked on this cache today and found the hidey hole bare. Replacement again in place.
We searched high and low, maybe we missed it but gave a really thorough search
Out for a nice cycle ride today along the coast.
Cool hide in a very nice looking piece of nature / art, tftc!

(# 7810) A caching trip to Nelson with NZ_B, TwigNZ and YetiNZ. Day 1 of a 4 day trip interspersed with exploring and humour. A quick find.
The log was signed as NuMpTY (or NMTY) for NZ_B, Mr-mcgoo, TwigNZ, & YetiNZ. Thanks for bringing me here.

What a great place for a most interesting seat in the sun.
In Nelson with TwigNZ, YetiNZ, Mr-Mcgoo for a few days of caching and meeting up with other cachers from Nelson. All logs signed as NMTY. However, our individual names were used when signing the challenge caches.
Kia ora rawa atu for the cache Isis58.

Myself, along with NZ_B, YetiNZ and Mr-mcgoo are on a caching expedition to Nelson. This is something we planned a while back and have very much been looking forward to
During our time here, all found caches were signed as NMTY (regardless of whether 2, 3 or all 4 of us hadn't found it previously), or with individual names for Challenge Caches according to whomever was claiming the find.
The 3 boys having now met up with NZ_B (who had made her own way over a couple of days earlier) then headed over to check out the venue for the event we were attending this evening. Yup, this would be a great place to grab some lunch, but it was just a little early so we decided to grab some nearby caches first, like this one.
Great spot to place a cache. I was able to find it quickly and then urged the other 3 on to start the nearby Earthcache (which I had got on a previous visit) whilst I sorted out the logging etc. No issues to report here, and the cache was replaced exactly as found.
Thank you for setting this one up.

Some time ago a group of us from Wellington decided that what we should do is come down to the Nelson region for a long weekend of Geocaching. So we did. With minimal specific agendas, and lots of unfound caches in the area, the goal for this four day break is exploring, having fun, and finding geocaches. Here is one we found.

Thanks to Isis58 for placing and maintaining this cache. I enjoy each and every cache I find, and it is only with CO's like this placing them out in the world that this wonderful game continues.
[DGSc-Bulk] tagging to help me generate a list for GC30AD8 - DGSc Challenge.

Found with NZDi while grabbing doing a nearby Earthcache on the GTT. A bit tricky to extract as the previous finder replaced it with the pull tag in, not out. Replaced so as to make it easier for the next finder.

Over the hill today to pick up some highly favourited hides. And, despite the recent couple of days of heavy rain, it was a pleasant drive over and not a drop of rain as I geo-cycle-m-version 2-ed the 24km loop. This was the tenth. Of course this sculpture needed a cache.
I guess I was trying to prove how stupid a cacher can be.
When the update came out that the cache was replaced, and there had been a few finds, I returned to GZ and searched all around the sculpture. Somehow I missed the find.
At today's event I made a point to troll for a hint from the CO. I was quite embarrassed when I found out the the cache page hint had already been updated and I had forgotten to read it. After that the find was much easier. TFTC.

Cool seat!!! Never knew this was actually a seat. Have always seen it from the other side. Great to find this cache! TFTC
I finally remembered to bring a spare cache with me when visiting the supermarket today. New cache in place.
Found on a winters morning cool seat well worth a cache. I seem to be the first to sign the new log tftc
I came here today to replace the full log but actually couldn't find the cache itself. So back to the car for a replacement. All good to go again.
Now I’ve found it I feel dumb, such an easy find when you enjoy the view. Great to see something in the chair my Grandad donated.
Biked or walked or driven past this many times knowing there was a cache here, finally had the opportunity to look today. Given the road works and location I read the hint first … but my interpretation was wrong and it was only after standing up, walking away and glancing back I saw the likely spot. Bingo! Signed and rehidden … now to pick up cachelettes from the bus stop.
Find number 2 today on a family bike ride. Santa delivered a new bike to our 5yr old so off along the GTT we go (for a wee bit anyway). We had fun caching and the bike was a hit. TFTC.
TFTC grateful for this stop as it made us realise the hiss coming from one of the bike tyres - stopped us heading too far from home!
Found it on third attempt exactly where hint says. Looking on wrong side first two attempts.
Somehow this got tucked away in my drafts. !!! Found while with a group of friends doing some cycling around Nelson.
Cheers ????

A nice stop on our cycle ride today and didn’t take long to track down once I checked the hint. TFTH and a favourite point from me.
