I had planned for today to try to locate and sign off the rest of Cromwell's caches.

Then it was off across the road, under the bridge, and heading towards Queenstown. This track is a bit different from the Cromwell-Clyde one.

I had often seen this series on my trips to Cromwell and today is the day I delete them from my GPS. Success!

Cheers for the cache.

On a previous trip up I had missed the parking and trailhead waypoints so spent the time picking up some fruits then. Today i'm organised (by KNCN) and off we went for the finds. Lizzies Walk.. well a run all over the place! Easy find with a combined navigation and hunting by the family. tftc

The teenage wanted to attend the Cromwell races, so 4Clubs and I were more than happy to drive her up to Cromwell for the day whilst we did some caching. This was the first find of the day on a lovely walkway which was sheltered and warm (unlike the nearby race course!). Thanks for putting out these caches and giving us a reason to discover somewhere new.
 
01-Dec-19
In Cromwell for part of the day with dakotacats whilst the granddaughter is living it up at the Cromwell Races. We really enjoyed the four caches along this unknown walkway, thanks for bringing us here RowenaD.

Found with StreetWalker on day #4 of our extended Easter break. Today we are travelling from Clyde to Cromwell then onto the old gold fields of Logantown, then back to Clyde.
After a diet of drive by fruit, it was time for a walk. This was an interesting area to walk in. Would be lovely in summer with the roses flowering. I searched in the right place, but was several cms away from where SW found the nicely tucked away caches. TFTC,

One of 20 located today en route to Cromwell, as well as in and around Cromwell, at the start of a week-long break in the Central Otago / Southland region.
Enjoyed this walk and the autumn colours alongside the river. Found this one reasonably quickly. #2369. TFTC.

#1226 - After a monster 48km hike yesterday for some unloved caches, today it was slow walk caching for some recovery. A great almost riverside walk, Baxter is one lucky dog.

Today we had our second day in Cromwell and again made a trip in and around the city, thus visiting many sightseeing highlights again. On this trip we searched, found and logged many caches, too. The weather was beautiful, sunny, very warm, no little bit cloudy, and only sometimes there was some wind.
Almost no muggels observed us as they had better things to do than observing two geocachers.

Thanks to RowenaD for showing us this location and for the fun we had at Baxters Walk No. 1. The search we had here today didn't take too much time.

Greetings from Germany and hope to see you soon in the forest.

Mrs Guzzi needed to clock up some more steps on her fitbit to lead her group of friends for the week so we decided to go for an evening walk along Baxters trail. This first one was our favourite as it had a great little dwelling.
 
27-Oct-17
We biked along the narrow entrance track, then along the main track to this cache which was a surprisingly quick easy find. TFTC

Decided to walk the walk so left Ms KR in the car and I was off. Nice to have the walkway between the orchards too. A quick find when I stopped and looked and said to myself, "must be there" and it was. Cheeers.

Day two of our Easter holiday to Invercargill. Cromwell to Invercargill.

Thanks to all of the CO's for the hides. Cheers.

Dropped off Twilight Wolf. Walked a huskie down here this morning ( along with 3 labs) which is the closest we will get to a wolf in New Zealand.

Thought it would be a great walk for our doggies. The entrance was a bit difficult to find.
Found the cache after having a slip again

Smile We are taking a 3 week vacation from the UK to tour around New Zealand. Today we are driving from Twizel to Mount Cook to Tekapo then meandered our way back to Arrowtown.. Scenery was fantastic as ever. Stopped off at Cromwel to do the little Baxters Walk along the river. All the caches we attempted were nice and straight forward., thanks for setting them up and making our trip most enjoyable.

Sadly I couldn't find this one, hunted in increasing circles for this one crushing a finger ouch. hope to return to get this one later this year

The biking was easier from number 2 to here. This was a really neat hide, although it seemed unlike to start with. The rest of the track was rideable out to Pearsons Road where the walker had re-located the car to.
+ a marble, - nothing.

Quick find on a walk with the dog. Happy New Year! TFTC

I did not know this walk existed and would still be unaware if you had not placed these caches here, so thanks heaps for that. Really enjoyed the stroll through the old gold workings. All four caches were quickly located using the hint.
