Friends from North Carolina beach stroll (Cant) Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand
By Nosynel on 16-Oct-15. Waypoint GC6560F

Seems to be missing. Time to find a different place to hide a cache.

Back for another look at this one. Gave it a good crack but still no luck today.

Three dnfs for this series. Think CO needs a maintenance run out here

We gave this one a decent go, but with lots of muggles around and an unhelpful hint we eventually gave up.

We had no luck with any of the Friends from NC caches. Perhaps it wasn't our day.

We couldn't spot this one today.

No luck for us here today.

I am having so much trouble with this series! I don't think my phone GPS is very accurate but I am completely stunned. Luckily I live only a block away and can keep looking

Found it

Couldn't find this one today, we'll be back...

Have to look another day

Haven't done a lot of caching in the last wee while. TG and I headed out for a Mad Monday Mission and stayed close by. We did a bit of a loop via town, Heathcote, Sumner, Avonhead, Uni and then home. I scored a few tonight and TG grabbed a smattering. Had a great night out. The evening started out cloudy and ended up being clear and a bit nippy out. Oh, I feel the winter is coming. Good to grab the town caches at night as the muggle factor was low, also good for the Uni. Good fun.

Thanks for the cache Nosynel.

Found with odgersaj back when I first started and didn't understand the app/have a prem account - now I do though! Signed the log back then but didn't do the online bit so logging now. Thank you!!

Found on our last day in this loverly city

Breezy day. Good for patting dogs! Tftc

After a walk round Ferrymead I thought I would head across to Sumner. Not many people about today so the cache was a quick find. TFTC.

Our first inNew Zealand - thanks!

outside CHCH today

Ah yes!! TFTC:-) great beginners waves out there for surfing or SUPing:-)

Not too long before had this cache in hand thanks

Taking a walk along from Cave Rock, geocaching as I go. Nice walk.

Looked like rain was coming (and it was), so dashed out on the bike to grab this wee series - not so many muggles as usual

Tftc. No pen

Spent longer here than the other two put together,and the Seas were huge,but the Seaspray was nice and cool..Had to keep an eye on Muggles coming and going,and managed to finally find it,before nearly giving up..Tis always nice to come to Sumner,especially for the Fish n Chips we always have for lunch.
Thanks for the wee series..TFTH

A quick find on this moody day. Thanks.

Found @ 8:51
In New Zealand on a 2 week holiday with sedgwickDave. Staying in Christchurch for a couple of days before heading to Hokitika on the West Coast. Nice quick find

After arriving in New Zealand yesterday and with our accommodation close by myself and the wife before heading out for the day. Decided to take a walk up to the large rock on the beach. Having checked that out on our way back to the car we passed this one for a quick find. Nice. Plenty of surfers seen today from this spot.

Nice beach spot

Nicr quick find, tftc.

Easy find today. Thanks for the cache.

Cute little cache!

A quick find during a stroll along the beach. Tftc.

We looked and looked. Hint didn't help.

Easy find on a nice afternoon. Tftc!

A nice quick find. It was bigger than I was expecting. Tftc.

Found whilst cyclocaching from Lancaster Park (remember where that was?) to Sumner Beach and back. Stopped right at GZ and there it was.[^]This is the 8th cache found on the ride and was my turnaround point. Off now to see if the lunch-eating muggles had departed from GC65611 GZ and if the teenagers had finishedtheir bikini discussion at the GZ for GC6560X .

Not too many muggles around today so we had time to search. Tftc

Nice easy find on a great day out. TFTH

Great place for a cache, tucked away just enough to be hidden from people approaching on the walkway, and picturesque enough to look normal standing there . Not sure I would be jumping at the chance to go surfing - plenty of others were though. TFTC (2593)

On Tour together with Sabe73 as Team "TheBros" around South Island to visit some nice spots.
We also visited this location and could find the box almost quickly.
Thank you for showing us this place and of course for the Cache.

The gelato shop opened this weekend so it was time for a Sumner outing. Tftc

7167. In the area today so popped along to find this cache. Nice set of three hides. Thanks. Rodney and Iris.

I am in Christchurch for the mega as there will be to many caches to log I am logging standard caches for everyone. Thanks to everyone for placing their caches. tftc

This was one of many caches found while over here to attend the Christchurch Mega Event. Just took some time to log it. SL TFTC.

Geotooter and I travelled across the ditch to attend the Christchurch Mega Event. One of the things I really enjoy about Mega Events is meeting so many wonderful people. It is a chance to catch up with those I already know and to make a whole bunch of new friends. I even managed to catch up with Renelm, a cacher I met while in Copenhagen earlier this year. Fantastic! We also enjoyed tripping around discovering new locations and finding some caches along the way and this was one of them. Thanks to the CO for placing this hide and adding to my global geocaching experience. Cheers.

We arrived at GZ and there were muggles too close for us to grab the cache. Sussed out the location of the cache while watching the surfer's just off the beach and then made a quick grab once the muggles had gone. TFTC

Together with a80

Today was a trip to Sumner which I really enjoyed as we has a most beautiful day for it. Armed with sun hats etc we walked along the beach to the Cave. And as it was low tide we could walk through the cave which my Chch friend had never done. We collected the caches along the way and then walked the other way to collect the Thank you cache. I was very interested in the North Carolina caches as I have a cousin there who I have visited at Raleigh and even swam in the Atlantic ocean! Out by Wilmington I think it is called. Many thanks for these caches and the opportunity to find them all on such a warm 'summer' day. There were even children swimming... as well as the wet suit cad surfers out in the waves.

After a nice hike we decided to get some icecream and walked eating and caching along the shore. TFTC

Took a little longer than it should have - but we got there in the end. Nice stroll in the week spring sunshine.
NZ Mega road trip.

TFTC!

Back to the car before we froze after a muggle free find. TFTC

Quickly found on a nice walk. Tftc

Quick find on a walk along the beach tftc

It was a pleasant stroll and many students out and about. They were all over Cave Rock. Looked at GZ and thought, "Oh no!!!!" --- but we did find it quickly with minimal clambering. Thanks.

Thought I would grab these caches while in the area today. TFTC

A Sunday drive to Sumner for a few new caches. Hint is a little vague though.

Thanks to all the CO's for their hides.

A busy evening & a trip to the supermarket to find some string (of all things!) organising things for a busy Saturday....so I didn't get out and about until late....(had a few caches on the list to find as the unfounds are slowly building up in the region! but alas time ran out after two! LOL).
Arrived at GZ to find it devoid of people - nice. Found the cache in the first place I looked but on the second time around after searching other 'stones' for 15min. Not surprised to see today (Saturday) another cache in the area published! LOL...I'll just have to come back again!.....cheers and thanks. A nice wee spot.
