TB Bucket (Canterbury) Fernside, South Island, New Zealand

This one seems to be gone

I came looking for my old Twitchy Willie O' Potfiller travelbug that I dropped off in Colorado and has been around the world a few times and couldn't find the cache. There was a lot of activity on the nearby farm and I couldn't dig around as much as I would have liked to without raising suspicion. If it is there it is better hidden than I thought it would be.

No luck here - no idea how I could miss it!! Maybe it's gone - or maybe it's not where the hint says...

Had a swimming lesson for Number 1 nearby and thoiught this would be a good one to find with her. Sure enough a good Fast Frames cache full of goodies that Miss 4 had a blast looking through. Thanks for sorting yet another local cache...

After lunch in Oxford I headed towards Rangiora, I drove down a lot of dry dusty roads, not a lot of traffic on these country roads which is just how I like it. It was good to get back on to the tarseal for a while though . Cheers and TFTC

Quite a few caches have popped up in the area between Rangiora and Cust, so we decided to spend a few hours mopping up these caches, then finishing up with a final corral of a few errant horses. The day went to plan, though some finds we made very hard work of, but the end justify the means! Many thanks for the enjoyable outing.
A quick find for StreetWalker. Picked up the 2 TBs in the cache and left the only one I still had left. TFTC.

#12341. Must keep this cache in mind if we have a large TB that we need to move on. TFTC.

It was rainyish at home but I still wanted to go find some caches. So I drove out to Cust. No sign of rain there. Onwards to country roads. Still no rain. Yay
It was nice getting back on sealed roads. I dropped two travel bugs off and collected two.

A quick easy find. TFTC

Quickly find with Sevren.tftc

Had this one saved for a dot day- and was very glad to have it up my sleeve today. tftc

First cache for the day on our drive around the area cleaning up some series and caches we started months ago. Early in the morning so nobody around and a nice quick find.

Quick find thanks. Left a trackable

Nice easy find! Tftc! No trackables today

Nice easy find! Tftc! No trackables today

No TB's but a large cache for cachlette to find. TFTC.

Finding a few caches in the area

A nice easy find on a nice afternoon. No TBs that I could see. Thanks for the cache.

Nice easy find on a great day out. TFTH

Quick dash out of car for Crood A. No tb so Crood Dad gutted but Crood A made a trade. Tftc

A nice quick wee find, and funny enough I had just parked over the road in the shade as it was pretty hot and had decided to put the billy on and make a cuppa then stroll over and grab the cache when a vehicle came out of the driveway, so that was lucky lol. TFTC

Found quickly. TFTC.

Not a TB in site

The next on our 210 run finding caches for the day with our team of four- HHSS. Working as a team each doing diff. roles we were able to speed up the find rate quite well and we managed to do about the first 100 with no Did Not Finds but after that the distances increased and the find rate dropped but we still managed to finish the day with 210 cache. The seagnoid has planned etc our route so it was all efficient Thank you to The Seagnoid for this pre work and thank you to the different cache Owners for these great, interesting caches. I just loved the huge chuppa chup and all the veges and fruit. . Thank you for the cache and another smiley face.

Hanknstone, Haydn.seek, the Seagnoid and I had a challenge of doing 200 caches in a day. We started at 7:30am and finished around 8:00pm with a total of 200+. Apologies for the copy and pasting of the logs but there were so many we found that it would take so long to write them all up individually! Thank you for the find.

[green] Out with Hanknstone, Haydn.seek and thestepahine on an awesome 200+ day. We managed to get 210 caches in 11 hours, an average of 3 minutes each. There were a few awesome caches out there, but mostly it was a blur. Thanks to all the cache owners, and my apologies about the cut and paste!
Signed log as HHSS.

After attending the CITO I had a few hours to myself before dinner to find some caches. With no plans I headed West from Woodend. No muggles for me today. Didn't notice any travel bugs but didn't really take too much notice to be honest. Caching without a plan is not my normal way of travel and I spent a good amount of time wondering which way and which cache to get next.
Thanks for the cache.

Caching with capperz and G H 6 7 1 0 chasing caches and numbers across the Canterbury area. Was a great MEGA weekend and thanks to all the CO's who made it all possible.
T F T C . Logs signed as G C N for our 3 caching initials.

An epic day of caching today, out to achieve 200+ finds in a day while I'm in Christchurch for the Mega event. There was also the lure of a virtual cache down in Peel forest, which isn't really that far from the numbers game along Thompsons track. A great day out and about, revisiting places I haven't been in years, and finding new places along the way. I teamed up with Capperz and Nightowl19 at 0600 in Rolleston, and off we headed in my cache mobile and general all purpose off road land rover. We signed the logs primarily as G C N to save space and time. Sorry about the cut and paste logs, but with over 200 caches to log it's going to take me a while to catch up. A nice cache, picked up a couple of trackables to take to the event, T F T C

Took the 4 TBs, one was a paper copy, and forgot to drop off at the MEGA. Now safe in Marlborough.
Off to the Mega this weekend and a 2 day pass has been granted for Geocaching purposes. It being a long weekend and all there was definitely a plan to get some caches and keep the numbers ticking along. Finished work at 12.00 and waited for the accompanying nightowl19 to finish her school morning. Pick her up and back home to get changed and a bite to eat before heading down the line. There's an event in Rangiora that we'd like to attend and we need to check into our accommodation. All interspersed with few caches too. Today is the planned 200 plus in a day, to be followed by as many types in a day on Sunday, then back home Sunday arvo. Quite the whistle-stop tour. Weather played fair, we ate take aways all weekend. . . . . . . . . . . shameful parenting, and had a great time. Even got to cache with G H 6 7 1 0 too, bonus. We set off at 0600 and were all done by 2000 so not toooo long a day. A few hundred kms driven by G H and in the comfort of his 4 x 4 too.
To all the COs that placed these caches many thanks for facilitating this epic journey and (normally difficult caching target. In Marlborough I've already done so many so big numbers days are nigh on impossible without having to travel out great distances. Most logs were signed G C N being an acronym of our combined caching names. We replaced around half a dozen which were plainly missing on Thompsons Track which will surely help those who follow us.
Apologies for the cut and past logs and last of all T F T C all . Thanks

Another great find with Just-Lookin.
Thanks for adding to the enjoyment of our MEGA trip.

We soon had the container located.

Heading towards the Christchurch Mega with tmann421.

Really enjoying the area and collecting caches along the way.

Found this afternoon before attending the event nearby. Just after I'd made the find a cattle truck turned into the drive of the property. Uh oh, always awkward! A man came from the drive and jumped into the cab after glancing our way. Returned the cache after they'd driven off.

Thanks

Tftc. Hope that house owner knows this is here. Maybe put on description.

Well filled bucket. Tftc

Out today doing some "Horsey" cyclocaching on my brand new road bike. After finding myself at Fernside I noticed this cache was a bit of an outlier so decided to extend my ride a little and remove it from my unfound list. Thanks for the cache (my 6th find so far today..

I have been mad busy at work the last couple of days, so no time for caching. I poured some concrete at 6.30am this morning and we had break and went back to float off the concrete but it wasn't ready. What to do? A bit of catch up caching was in order I had 2 1/2 hours to take care of. So I solved some puzzles and loaded up the GPSr and headed off into the wet dreary day. I ended up having a lovely drive and came back to town in the sun. Rather pleasant day really. I didn't DNF anything and scored 24 caches!
5 of 24 for todays effort.
On the way back from Oxford to round up some horses and stopped by here to check out some bugs. Nice quick find and noted the tb codes of a few TBs.

Thanks for the cache.

A quick find,but there seems a couple missing from the list.Only saw 7 TBs.We took one to send on his way.TFTH

The weather over this side was supposed to be better than at home so Friday night we planned our caches for the weekend and set off just after 8 this morning. After a few other TB stops this was our first find of a miserably spitty day. A well stocked TB Bucket! We discovered 6, Took 1 & Left 2. We didnt spot one of the ones listed but it is possible we missed it. Thanks for the cache which earns us the International Geocaching souvenir

Geocaching mission out Rangiora way. Cold so aiming for some easier ones. Took a Tb. TFTC

Dropping off tbs

This would be a great cache for a young family and great to get a reasonable sized one!! Sort of felt a wee but exposed with it so close to a house, but easy to be unobserved!!! Thank you.

Out and about at night picking up a few random caches. Starting to get a bit cold out. Brrr. Quick find and sign with no one else around. Nice big bucket. Cheers.

A lovely day to go for a drive. Found on our way to the event. TFTC

One of GHIJKGARDNER's youngest and I raced off as soon as we had finished dinner, and found it super easily, despite it being very wet underfoot and with lack of appropriate footwear. Nevertheless, I hope the TB we picked up will be a great introduction for her! TFTC!

Beaten to the FTF punch by about 15 minutes, spotted fresh vehicle tracks in the grass as I pulled up so wasn't feeling hopeful. TFTC (2270)
