Day 11 of our Enzed adventures with Robmc and our second full day in Dunedin.Our intention was to target the Plane series and hopefully find at least half of them before the hoards and the rains arrive. We did pretty well and then after lunch headed back to town to tackle some of the oldies.Another pretty spot Then onto the event.Thanks for contributing to the fun Hall-way

Down for the mega and today was the day to complete the aeroplane series and of course some additional ones!! Nice quick find here in the obvious spot. Thanks for the cache. Signed as Team SEAC (South East Auckland Crew)

We are in Dunedin this weekend for the Mega with Stik-a-Crane, UncleSam, KeyLev, and NZTravellers. We have signed all logs as team SEAC to save space, especially as we know this weekend will be busy for all caches. We have landed, picked up the cars and the plane geoart and any other trads, multis, or puzzles we have solved are the targets for the day. We have had an amazing time and had very few DNF's for a very successful day with lots of laughs and memories made.

Attending the Dunedin Mega this weekend. Out caching today with Agazo and AlunB. Signed logs as AMA.Our plan was to complete the aeroplane artwork and any other caches that we stumbled upon enroute.TFTC

Arrived today from the Northern Island to attend Geo Toroa (Mega), as a group consisting of myself, HeMaLuDy, UncleSamNZ, keylev, NZ Travellers, and of course it would be rude to not locate caches as we left the airport heading into our accommodation in Dunedin.Signed in as SEAC to save logbook space and on our way to the next hide.TFTC.

After arriving on an early flight, teamed up with smittengranny, barb2e, Joolay and Kittykatch for an enjoyable mornings caching session around the airport region. Signed as CCD (Canberra cachers Dunedin)Exchanged anecdotes with some local farmers who kept us entertained and were generally supportive of our mission. Thanks for placing these caches for our enjoyment and welcoming us to Dunedin.

Down here for the Dunedin Geo Toroa Event from the sunny Bay of Plenty,Tauranga and are with some of Team BoP. Great to get together with our fellow cachers. Signed Logs MDF. (McJandals,Davidson clan & NZ Flossy)I am logging using the Cachly App and using their template option which helps with my memory for logging. I genuinely thank every CO for their time and effort put into these caches. Much appreciated.

What an incredible day it was. This morning Kittykatch, Joolay, barb2e and I cached our way to the airport. Here we met up with Binliner to attack the Plane/Jet series, which we had solved before leaving Australia. We found every cache that we tried for, and this was one. The logs were all signed CCD (Canberra Cachers Dunedin). A huge thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining these caches. You add so much to our game.

Down in Dunedin for the Mega this weekend with McJandals and NZFLOSSY. Signed the log sheet MDF Thanks for the cache.

Down in Dunedin for the Mega event. Travelling with Davidsonclan and McJandals. Really fun to be out and about with the team and catching up with other cachers friends m everywhere.

I dropped maplerosenz off so that she could find the cache and by the time I had turned the car around she had the log signed and the cache replaced.

Back home in Taranaki after a massive 5 days at the Dunedin Mega with MrMuggleNZ and its time to start logging my findsall 226 of themso wish me luck. Only 2 DNFs the whole time we were here so thats a testament to the dedication of the local cache owners and their maintenance prior to this event. This cache made my list for our trip as we were going past anyway. Thanks for placing..all good here.

Found with NZDi on our southern adventure heading for the Geo Toroa. Earlier in the year a group of us Blenheim cachers started solving puzzles around the area in preparation for this weekends Mega. The aircraft geo-art was part of that project. Today, with NZDi as driver and recorder and myself as navigator, we made the attempt to clear them out. We started out just before 10.00am with a DNF at #58 which didn't bode well for our mission. We finished all we could around 5.00pm. We are logging in the order the caches were signed. Caches weresigned in full or abbreviated to ND + KM as space would allow. We noted other cachers who logged today and even met up with others (twice). We were impressed with the accurate coordinates, the helpful hints (where given) and the well maintained caches. These logs are going to be pretty generic but I'll try to comment on some of the more memorable caches where appropriate.This was another of the five non-geo-art caches that we found today and was a QEF PnG.TFTC Hall-way

Found with Kiwimykl, refer to his log for details.TFTC Wilbywarrior

Clever hide. Beautiful landscape. Thanks for the cache!

Quick driveby

Out and about on day 10 of my South Island Tour and day 4 of "Wellingtonions Gone South: Dunedin Edition" with NZ_B, TwigNZ, Mr-Mcgoo, Itchyfeet2020 and matagouri. The target of this day was cleaning up the plane. All logs signed as MINT. TFTC

A visit to Dunedin by Wellington geocachers NZ_B, Itchyfeet2020, TwigNZ, Mr-Mcgoo, Taybeen NZ, and myself. Signing as Team MINT, targeting old caches, Wherigos, and whatever else we can find.Found this one while completing the Airplane series. All good in container. Tftc!

Day 4 of the Wellywood Adventure to Dunedin for 6 Welly cachers. The trip had been in the planning for a while - especially to get Sutton Lake, the Old School Challenge and other personal goals. The backup plan had always been - "lets get the plane solved in case we have time". Today was that day including other caches in the vicinity. Cache found as per advise . All caches signed as Team M.I.N.T. TFTC Hall-way.

A group of friends have traveled together to Dunedin to collectively target a whole bunch of caches, primarily because of their value in terms of Jasmer Grid filling, or for certain Challenge Caches that we have elected to try to achieve.M.M.I.N.T.T are Mr-Mcgoo, matagouri, Itchyfeet2020, NZ_B, taybee nz and TwigNZ. Some logs were signed this way, some were signed as M.I.N.T for expediency, and some (mainly Challenge Caches) were signed with individual names.Day 4, our last day before heading home this evening, and the main focus of our day would be hitting the Plane geoart series. We had no idea whether we would get to complete it today, but having met the CO for a drink last night we hoped we would.This was effectively a quick park 'n' grab. No problems here, so everything was replaced as found once our team name was added to the log.Thank you for putting out this cache for all to find.

(# 8372) The Wellington crew are on another mission. Included are Itchyfeet2020, NZ_B, TwigNZ, Matagouri and TaybeeNZ. As usual quite a bit of hilarity. Day 4 was more centred primarily on the Airplane series down towards the airport. Signed as MINT.Thanks Hall-way for bringing me here.

Another quick find.Day 4 of The Wellingtonians are in Dunedin tour with TwigNZ, Mr-Mcgoo, Itchyfeet2020 and matagouri, as well as TaybeeNZ who decided to have a few days of his South Island tour with us. We are targeting specific caches -oldies, wherigos (thanks to the Seagnoids new caches on the Wainuiomata Hill road in Lower Hutt), a certain jet and hopefully a certain bird. Of course, there will be days of laughter, no doubt at my expense During our time here, all found caches were signed as MINT, regardless of whether 2, 3 or all 5 of us hadn't found it previously, or with individual names for Challenge Caches according to whomever was claiming the find.Kia ora rawa atu for the cache Hall-way.

Another easy find this morning. TFTC and the opportunity to look at this little creek. Good to see it fenced off and planted with flax.

**#18,398**
Nice quick find here, the roads are in a bit of a sad state, more pot holes than road!

Today was Day2 of signing off some of the Airport Mystery caches.

This was #2 on the way . Quick find. Thanks for the cache Hall-way.

Good find on a nice day

Doing a few of the plane art series tonight so got this one on the way past. TFTC

On a tour of the area getting some caches to meet my monthly target. All good with the cache. Thanks

Having spent some time 'nutting out' puzzles while parked up this week, it was finally time to start picking some up, as well as some trads of course.
No problems making the find here.
Thanks for setting it up

An enjoyable day. Excellent weather and plenty of caches. A quick find here. TFTC

It's a hot day and every time we stop some other driver goes past and showers us with dust. So glad I cleaned my car yesterday! Thanks for this one Hall-way

Found with StreetWalkerNZ, KiwiChris and Mrs KiwiChris after lunch in Mosgiel as we attempt to find as many of the new airplane geoart as possible on a warm and sunny Dunedin day.
Another trad that we stopped for. The container was pretty dusty, which isn't surprising considering its placement. TFTC.

Cache 742 On an Impromptu caching trip with Wombats4 we decided a day trip to Mosgiel was the go so up we got in the frosty morning and made the trip up from Invercargill, it took a little while for the warm to come but Mosgiel put on perfect weather for us.
Nice quick easy park and grab on the way back to the main road, cache in good shape T4TC

Quick find with ice cream in hand. Another Wonder found on road south

One of those makes more sense now that I’ve found it and looked type caches. Followed by a reasonably bumpy Ford crossing. TFTC #348

Wonder if there are any ells?
