Heading south with rattll for Dunedin GeoToroa, although only aiming for Kaikoura tonight. Pulled over here en route to Blenheim. Spotted instantly, although sad to not see what Cince loves. All good in the container. Signed, and returned as found. Tftc!
Having just arrived in Picton, it was straight off the ferry and into geocaching mode!I'm not sure what Vince loves, but I had no problems finding the cache. Thanks for putting this here
I was on my way in to Blenheim locating and signing off a few caches on the way.Cheers for the cache, Kiwimykl.

**19,964**We love that Vince loves, because we love to find them. Quick find here and then off to the next one. TFTC
Headed up to Picton for a bit of caching. Collected this cache but am clearly missing something. Nappy? Vince? Ah well at least I got a smiley. Thanks
A quick and easy find. Not sure what the ‘nappy’ mentioned in the hint refers to.
Heading to Nelson tomorrow for a few days of caching with other Wellingtonians.
Kia ora rawa atu for the cache Kiwimykl.

This is a very late log . We went across on the ferry and then drove down to Christchurch to visit son and partner and then we we all went on the Weka Pass rail way excursion trip - it was the last steam train going for some time , due to a major overhaul of the engine to take maybe , 2 years to complete - . I had a few of the caches on this route but as hubby does not really like to stop a lot , i choose just a few to visit and this was one . Thank you for this cache . i took nothing and left nothing .
Day 10 on our holiday in New Zealand. Today we are in the area and surrounding area of Nelson, and then we go to Wellington. We also visited this tradi, found it, and signed the logbook.

After spending three days in Picton, mostly for a bridge tournament, I am heading home today. I am taking the long way around since I have more caches to find. No problem with this cx. I did better at this bridge than at the bridge tournament. TFTC.
It's Bumblebee season so I jumped aboard and buzzed out here for a couple or a couple more than a couple. This being the third, on the way back home after the short walk. Easy find.

Found with @peadub while travelling home to Wellington after a stay at the beautiful Cape Campbell Lighthouse. Quick easy find. Signed log and replaced where found. TFTC
Quick easy park and grab - on our way to Kaikoura - got to stop doing these or we will never get there! TFTC
Out this morning for a bit of geocaching for a couple of hours I could park and grab
Wouldn't normally be bothered by this sort of geocache BUT this is one of the last two Hidden dates I need to complete my Hidden Date Fizzy Grid. So I just had to get it. TFTC
Not sure what Vince loves and we were bemused by the additional hint but we located the container and signed the log. TFTC
For the life of me this one stumped me as i was looking more for what Vince loved than the cache itself... not sure if i was being blind OR if someone decided Vince needed to be infamous no more
Quick find with Kimmy+co once I was focused on the cache and not on Vince

Heading South for some R& R and of course grabbing a few caches along the way ...thanks nice easy drive by
Quick find this afternoon with eltee291, crman1 and coastal martinis on the way back to Blenheim from Picton! I spotted what Vince loves. That is hilarious graffiti. Signed the log and replaced as found. Thanks for the cache, Kiwimykl!
Found today with hingis20, crman1, and coastalmartinis. This was a fun cache and now more people know what Vince loves. Have come frome Victoria, BC, Canada to visit with my daughter and her family in Blenheim and, of course take in some of the great geocaching here. Really great to be enjoying summer in January. TFTC
Too busy minding traffic that I didnt even see the grafitti.. woops.

hahaha this one made me laugh only to scream when I pulled out a whitetail with the cache, thanks for the placement and the photo
Out with Grandson for the day, movies, now some caching. Quick find here. Glad we could pull up next to it. SL. TFTC.
We were wondering what we were going to do to qualify for the latest hidden creatures challenge. We have been streaking for a couple of years so our supply of caches around Nelson are starting to thin out. We decided to come over to Marlborough for the weekend to make up the numbers we needed. We had noticed there were many park and grab type caches in this area so this is where we decided to target.
It was getting dark by the time we set off to find this one. So we were armed with torches and a good spirit for a bit of night time adventure.
Again we used the car lights to help us find this one. As I reached in to grab it I noticed a big spider sitting on guard on the cache - I retracted my hand pretty quickly and left it for GK to get.
Thanks for placing this cache and for the smilie - our last cache for tonight

#5204. The family are heading south on holiday and took the ferry over to Picton. After lunch we had a look around the markets then it was time to head south. Was looking for caches on the GPS that were on the left side of the road heading south so asked Mrs GSEL to pull over here. It seems Vince is keen on metal bands, especially those of the barrier type. Nice quick find. Signed and replaced as found. Thanks for hiding it here Kiwimyki.
Tits is what Vince luvs...... have always had a laugh at this as a family driving past
A nice quick find, Vince made me smile. Cheers.
Today was a day spent cruising around Blenheim, waiting for the late ferry to leave. I was so hot today, >30 degrees. The aircon in the car was working overtime.
Thanks to all of the COs for placing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Over here from Riwaka today to have a look at the sounds and pick up a few caches along the way. I think I must be blind cos I dont understand the name of the cache. Only Vince I know is Vince Hill ! TFTC.
I grew up in Blenheim, and Vince has been declaring the love of his life for over 25 years in the same spot. Heading North in the next few days from Burnham, will have to stop in and pick this up for old time's sake!
Greetings from the UK
The graffiti made us chuckle and happily there is no nappy. TFTC

A day out from blenheim towards havelock, than over to the queen Margaret drive to reach Pictor and back to blenheim
That's the plan
And some caches might be picked up, if weather and time and the eyes permit it
Signed most logs as B52

Poor Vince but I understand:-)

A quick easy find. We forgot to look for the object of Vince's love, but have now seen the photo. TFTC
OK its another bike excursion over the elevation. Yep made it again, huffing & puffing. Got as far as the wetlands and turned back, grabbing this one on the way. Cheers
Haha! Saw this cache up, an being an ex-local I knew exactly what Vince loves Thanks for the cache, and the laugh
Today we travelled from Richmond to Spring Creek with the main objective of doing some maintenance in Momorangi Bay (and hopefully) picking up a FTF in Linkwater. The weather was miserable - raining, spitting and constantly changing its mind to have a brief break but always cold and windy so we pick and chose our cache depending on the weather in the moment, sometimes not even getting out if the car for a PnG! Still fitted in a full days of caching with 46 finds - oh and yeah we did get that FTF!!
I was too preoccupied looking for the nappy to make sure I avoided it that I didnt look for the graffiti. but have now seen ADV's photo. The nappy is now long gone so could be removed from the hint. Thanks for the cache

Thanks to ADV, who posted a photo - I would never have worked out who/what Vince loves. After some minor errands after work I am off to Picton for major errands and to find the two caches I need for my current project. Quick find here in the pitch black, although I had to wait a bit for the traffic to clear. Now to Picton to fix a bunch of computer problems, and then into the bush near the dams for my second cache.
Thanks for helping me fill my calendar!

Stopped here on the way to Picton early this afternoon. I must admit to bursting out laughing when I found out what Vince loved Found quickly - signed log, TFTC
Interesting reading across the way. Had to wait for caravans to pass. Enjoying our time in the beautiful south island.tftc
After lunch in Picton, it was time to head back towards Blenheim. I took advantage of being on my own today to tick off the caches along here I usually don't do because of "timing issues". Cheers and TFTC
Not sure what I was expecting but not that. A car going past tooted - I thought it must've been another cacher but maybe they just loved the sign too. TFTC #8176
Was with Nanzie when she found this last week but deliberately left it till today to sign as I knew I'd need 2 caches to fill a calendar day challenge and wouldn't have much opportunity email route to Waikawa for a kayaking trip. TFTC

I'm not sure why the previous logger wants this cache disabled, it looks like a case of mistakenly selecting the wrong item from the drop down box. Request reviewer does not archive this listing without getting further detail from 'Nanzie' and informing me of reasons beforehand.
I searched for ages with the help from a big spider he wasn't much help so paddle chick came to the rescue.Tftc.Kiwimylk
I came over to New Zealand to meet my son, who is staying now for more than five months on the other side of the world. Our intension is, to travel now for 4 weeks through this fantastic land and visiting a lot of fine spots on both islands.
Met in Auckland, our first trip led us to the Far North with some spectacular locations. It was a lot of driving, but we think, it was worth the result.
The second part of our travelling route led us to the south. Going via Hamilton with some fine locations, Hobbiton was an absolutely must of our "unexpected journey" . Went then to Tauranga with a hard upclimb to Mt. Maunganui, visited Rotorua to see lot of vulcanic activities, have had a lot of fun with Zorbing and Claybird shooting and drove then to Taupa, to doing Skydiving.
Here we go: Napier with it's beautiful Art Deco district and the great Aquarium was the next stop.
Final destination on the North Island was Wellington, were we visited some great places and met some friends from Germany.
After crossing Cook Strait now we will follow the east side of the southern island down to the most southern point of New Zealand.
Blenheim with its wine yards, fantastic dolphin watching in Kaikoura, the story of earthquake in Christchurch, following the famous coastline down to Dunedin with its beautiful and interesting places as well as the nice city of Invercargill were our main spots on this part of our journey.
Of course, even if it is not our main activity during this holidays, we will looking for some caches, which are laying beside our route.
So this cache was one of those, we've picked up.
Many thanks to Kiwimykl for this fine cache and best greetings from Germany.
