28-May-20
Found with StreetWalkerNZ on a caching mission to the Port Hills to find 6 caches for a calendar challenge we have set ourselves.

FITW TikvaNZ, Fox in Jox, AngelG27 [sometimes signed as Team F.A.I.T.]

Another intermission on our DT series day. Wanted to stop at the "the best view" cache as well but missed the parking for that. Have to do with just "a view" for now.

TFTC!

AngelG27, TikvaNZ and I have travelled from Canberra to find caches from the D/T 81 Series that we had managed to solve by ourselves, or as a team (some with nudges along the way from COs or previous finders). We were joined by IVSS_XX, so we decided to log as team F.A.I.T. for brevity.

I like to get D2 T2 caches, as thy keep the total above D1.5 T1.5 caches. Just a little personal challenge of mine. TFTC Aslan*
 
02-Oct-17
This trip to NZ was long planned, with the DT 81 series the main focus. TikvaNZ, Fox and I did lots of puzzle solving in preparation, many solved individually, but others solved cooperatively and some with a little push. Today was the day to make good on our solves and we headed out with Ivss_xx (signed as FAIT) to collect a stack of them. It was a long day, but we grabbed around 50 of them, with a few others thrown in for good measure. Unless otherwise indicated, caches were found in good order and in accordance with the hint.

Another random cache collected on the way. But we needed to stay focussed on mission!

Thanks for the cache and the fun!

Quick find on a lovely sunny day. All in good order - Tftc.

20-Aug-16
A fabulous day to go caching with The Burnsy. We decided to drive around Summit Road and pick up a few caches. Burnsy had an injured foot and I had an injured neck so we made a pretty good pair. Our tactic for the day was to stick to caches closest to the road, so as not to strain ourselves. Burnsy made a quick find when we got to GZ. Tftc.

More great views, definitely a cold breeze this morning which was obvious by the windsock being horizontal. TFTC
