By 111PAF on 09-Oct-15. Waypoint GC63JH5

This is not such a nice spot anymore, will take it away.

Thanks for the cache.Needed a quick one for the day and another new pathway to discover.

A quick 24 hours in Dunedin thanks to cheap flights, great opportunity to catch up with friends and find a few caches! And a great stair workout as well TFTC!!

Quick find while walking the dog. TFTC

Lots of doggie dodos to navigate here. Finally found this one poking out from a huge pile of holly trimmings from the hedge. Cheers.

Saturday 20 April - Dunedin - short cuts and pathways today.

Its another awesome geoventure to Dunedin, with The Seagnoid, Zara, Toby, Jack, Jill and William all along for the trip. Had a wonderful 10 days exploring Dunedin. It was great catching up with local cachers at several events we attended. Lots of walking and driving, with the odd cycle and wave ride to jazz things up. Thanks to all the COs that made this trip a wonderful success. Even managed to bag some lab caches along with wherigos, earth caches and events, with the usual mix taking us to some amazing places..

The cache is just a few inches from a huge pile of holly trimmings from the adjacent hedge. Or to put it another way, the cache is totally not buried at all under holly. Whew! That was close!

Taybeedragon and I have an eleven day Easter weekend in Dunedin. Although, let's face it, given that we are from Blenheim and Picton that means two of those days was spent in travelling. In that time we grabbed a smidge over three hundred caches. Not bad, considering the amount of time spent way out on the back roads, on bicycles or canoeing on the water. A few vituals, larges, letterboxes, earths, wherigos, and even ten lab caches in the haul. An awesome weekend!

In Dunedin for a couple of days and out and about on a evening wander to get some caches in the area. This was the last find for tonight as time was getting on. Didn't take too long to identify the likely hiding spot but in the process managed to step in some fresh doggie doo. Seems to be a bit of a hazard for this cache from looking at previous logs. Signed log and attempted to remove as much muck as possible before heading back to my accommodation. TFTC.

Quick find. Out for a walk with Mrs Wilby. Tftc

No one about so this was a nice quick grab. Tftc!

great new pathway found in dunedin cheers

Gotcha

Quickest find ever! Helped by winter foliage or lack thereof. TFTC

No luck with this one but I didn’t look too long as I had to head back down the hill

Too much dog poo, gave up

The resident was busy carting rubbish down to her vehicle so I made the find in peace.
Thanks

A great afternoon caching in the Dunedin area, about 32 caches for the day a few good up and down walks and a bit of bush bashing and a lot of fun had. Many Thanks Bitsprayer.

Log sheet damp and outer container had water in it. Left it in the sun for 10 minutes to dry. Thanks.

Quite a bit of dog poo but my shoes survived TFTC

Did not find but there was a ton of dog poos yuck and smelly

Great hiding spot!

Tftc!!

A cache with the D/T rating that I needed. It was after sunset so conditions were not ideal so it took me a little longer than it should have.

Thanks Adventure Tharon, have put in a new logsheet, its fun to read the old one but stegan hasn't signed the logsheet, but NZhannah did on 7/1/16 and Hinemoa and Tunfisk did on 19/12/15.

Great easy find thanks

Had tried for this one before but had to retreat when I felt eyes on me. All quiet today so soon had log signed. TFTC

Short walk up the path and then a successful find. TFTC

A short walk had us close to the bush and the rest is history.

The plan was hatched a few years ago now and it has been a standing weekend away with a few of us mad keen cachers. This trip was made up of Karma Reprint, Team_Gaters and me (TheWanglers). We couldn't use a previous anagram to sign the logs as one member was in Aussie. So we had to come up with another... Hmm, KiTT? We decided on KiTT but after signing the first few logs something KR mentioned took a while for me to sink in and I didn't really take on board until the next time I signed the log. "Hey, the double 'TT' looks like Pi!". Oh, that's what KR said! So we signed the log this trip as KaTT pronounced 'Kapai'! And the trip was kapai!!! We had an epic weekend starting with a detour to Peel Forrest for a few FTFs, stopped in Omaru, thrashed Dunedin and detoured to Port Charmers for a FTF and then back to Pleasant Point and Peel Forrest to finish off the weekend with more FTFs. We got home to our families at a respectable hour after clocking up just over 1100km!
We had a few milestones we really wanted to crack. My 4000th, TG's 5000th and KR's 10,000th. We cracked my and KR's goal and got really close for TG. It really is about the numbers. This trip was awesome as it has given me some ideas
We had settled into our home for the weekend and scored us some steaks for tea. We were hydrated and fed and headed out for the evening. Quick find.

Thanks for the cache.
#3868
Cache number 116 for todays total of 123
Cache 116 of my total of 288 for this epic trip!

Show weekend and a Road Trip to Dunedin with 'The Boys'....Karma Reprint & TheWanglers. Initially came up with the acronym KiTT but on seeing the TT looked like a Pi symbol we quickly changed to Ka(Pi) (ie. Kapai)....and a fantastic weekend it was. 3 days, 1100km, a heap of caches and great fun.
Quick find and sign whilst our in the evening. Cheers.

A quick find thanks.

Canterbury show weekend and time for our annual road trip to some place with plenty of boxes to find. One player short this year as PurdiePurdie got a better offer over the Tasman, (no not another MEGA).

TheWanglers, Team Gaters and I took off at 4:45am for Dunedin for a weekend of fun frivolity and finds. The plan was to get as many as we could, while still having a good old time, which we managed in abundance. Logs were generally signed kaTT, which actually should read ka pai, but I can not seem to get pi as a symbol.

A great time was had by all.

Thanks to all the CO's for their hides.

Tftc. Many years ago a walked this way to school.

TFTC had a look at a house on Bernard st we owned 17 years ago

Quick find, thanks

Used to walk this path just about everyday. Thanks

A quick easy find, with freshly cut grass and blossom on the trees. TFTC

Trac - will have to come back with a pen one day

Had the urge to go out and have a bit of a hunt in the area this morning. It took me a lot longer than expected to find this one, partly because I misread the description. Nevertheless, managed to nab it in quick time after realising my mistake. Cheers!

Found on the way home from work. Just to keep ticking along. Thanks.

Thank you great to find these little shortcuts.

Did this one on the way home on our walk. TFTC

A quick early evening find. Lots of paths around the town, will we visit them all?
TFTC

That is the best holly hedge I have ever seen. Easy find, TFTC

Didn't know about this one (the path). TFTC.

Too close to home for a walk and another day with a smiley now. This was another of Vee's short cuts walking home from school.

Fourth to visit today so tracks in grass gave it away. Bernard's my middle name! TFTC

(FTF) #34 @954. Well phone went flat last night so never turned it on till this morning and beep beep beep it went when I did turn it back on. With this one so close to home like 800m from home i could not pass it up. Off I go as sure enough a FTF found a cell phone and an eftpos card in the bushes close by looks like they were dumped there. Oh well TFTC ?

we were just a wee bit slow for first to find, but happy with another second to find . TFTC

So many little connecting pathways with stairs! Haven't found a cache on this one previously
