I am in Chch after being in Dunedin for the mega and we travelled over to Belfast to pick up a parcel and visited a couple of caches in the general area and this was one . It was a straight forward find and was soon signed , and replaced I took nothing and left nothing , All was well here . Thank you for this cache .
Down from Whangarei for a few days, so just had to make sure to grab a few caches whilst down here.This was a nice quick find here for me in the semi expected location. TFTC
We were staying nearby at the Clearwater resort and saw this cemetery when we drove by each time so it made sense to go and do the three Multis that are there. This one was a quick calculation and an instant find at GZ.OCW irondaleWeather: overcast, windy, coolWeirdos seen: noneSheep spotted: lots of them- a sprinkling of sheeps all over the hillSnack situation: breakfast burrito and real fruit ice cream A+TFTC
Well, there is obviously a story here. But alas, that story is not for us mere mortals.
Wow clever - took a good bit of searching here & in the end used the photo - bit of a spoiler but at least we were in the right place! A fave from us TFTC
Out today getting some different caches for Leap day. What a clever sneaky hide this was, sure made me smile. Thanks for this cache LittleGMagic.
Found with ivss_xx. I caught on to where it would probably be hidden but he beat me to the find. Thanks for placing and maintaining. Finding a LittleG cache, traditional or otherwise, is always a satisfying victory.
5 July 2023 3:45 pm. Always good to get a LittleG cache. MacPacDad had the find this time. TFTC LittleG Magic # 4011
This one took a bit of searching. It turns out I had the right idea from the start, I just overlooked the object as it was obscured by long grass! A nice sneaky little hide! TFTC!
Well, that was fun... ish. Had to climb the fence to keep the feet dry. Not much luck at first, but then I saw some things, and reading the logs, 2 + 2 still equaled 3. Then I realized that I'd missed one, and bingo. Still got a wet foot though. Never mind, it'll dry.... Cheers
GZ was quite flooded, luckily my gumboots were in my partners truck and it was a quick find so I wasn't standing in almost knee deep water on the side of the road for too long.

Gave up and went back to the car. No have another look, Still no luck. Read the logs again, lined up the photo and bazzinga Got it. TFTC
I had seen the name as I had been driving by a few days ago, so on the way home I thought I'd stop in and grab this. I had an idea on what I'd potentially find here, having found one of these done the same way, around Karapiro. Sure enough, there it was! Thanks

Covid 19 Level 4 Its simple
If you touch a cache container, you will leave viruses on the plastic, logbook and pen. Those will remain infectious for up to 4 days. Suppose some other person finds the cache tomorrow. They are likely to pick up those viruses and will get infected.

That took us a few minutes to find. Busypaws and I were on a day trip that took us from Huntsbury to the Old West Coast Rd.
My third try for this one, and like many others, it paid off . Took Lyttletonwitch along for good luck and it that worked! TFTC. (I think!!)
Back in the big city for the weekend and a morning ride out before a bit of Xmas shopping.
Straight to it have come across similar hides before tftc

Looked around, searched the usual suspects to no avail, then me and my GC partner T00thless had the same idea of where to look and bingo.
Clever hide the sheep were trying to give us hints I think but I don't speak Baaaaaa

So we searched for a short while and then I went to the only other place possible to hide a cache. Just as I was having a look my cache partner, Angie33210, suggested checking the same area and voila, we were right and I soon had the cache in hand and we were signing the log. Good hide though and. I think the sheep were trying to help but a birdie kept popping up in the grass telling us off, or maybe helping too?
As I approached the fence I had an idea about where the cache could be hidden, having seen a similar hide elsewhere. Bingo! Not often that I find LGM hides that quickly! TFTC.
We found a Little G cache within the first 7 minutes of searching. A red letter day! TFTC Little G!
Took a while and I had already looked there but when I looked again there was the sneeky thing.
I have just flown in and are down this way to help run a camp this weekend. As it is going to be a long weekend, and as I am slightly ahead of schedule... I thought I'd grab a cache or two while I was here. This was a nice quick find as there are really only a couple of logical spots to hide a cache. So the log book has been signed and the cache is nicely back in it's spot all ready for the next hunter. Thanks heaps for taking the time to set up this cache. I really appreciate your efforts in doing so.
This is geo streak day #1057 in a row for me today. TFTC

#17129. I needed three finds today, and headed out to Belfast to find three caches Troodles had already found. This was the first of the three (and the last active Little G cache I had yet to find). Quick find as I knew where to look. TFTC.
I have visited a few times and never quite looked in the right place but today tried a different approach and finally found the little devil. The rain was just starting as I got in the car. TFTH
After finding some caches this morning, then visiting whanau in Rangiora, I still needed to find 2 more caches to bring my total finds on 3rd Nov up to a nice round 20. I had a few caches near Clearwater in my sights, but they required a walk, but it had warmed up considerably since this morning so decided a couple of Belfast drive bys would be much less effort .
The last cache find of the day, interesting to see the progress of the over bridge near GZ. A herd of very woolly sheep were being released into the adjoining paddock. I felt a bit sorry for them as they looked very hot.
Cache was found on the second pass by StreetWalker, who is leaving the paperwork for another day. TFTC.

Checking out a new building nearby. I see a paddock is being built up with crushed concrete from the freezing works.
Pulled up and had a preconceived idea in my head before I had got out of the car. Nice to be right for a change. Turned out to be a quicker find than I expected. TFTC
Well I made a slightly different assumption of what I was looking for, based on previous Little G hides. This slowed me down a little (a lot).
I did come up with a second theory but still didn't find it. The i tried PAF which just confirmed my second thought. Weird - I looked there!
The log was full, although a lot of sigs are very faded. I had a spare in the geomobile, though, so chucked that in, with my sig on it to get things started.

20 minutes ago I successfully sat my full NZ driver's licence test! Now I will finally be able to buy a beer without lugging my passport around all the time!
This achievement had to be celebrated by finding a nearby geocache, so I went to get this one on the way back home.
I second the previous comment, I was surprised too how quick of a find this was for a LittleG cache. It helped heaps that the cache was exactly what and where I imagined it to be when approaching GZ though.
TFTC!

Searched for ages with grandson Zach. Combed a 50m stretch of the fence several times. No success even though I had a pretty good idea of what to look for. Next time I am out this way I will try again if it has been found in the meantime. Rodney.
Bloody hell a long search with a gz 15mtrs away according to my ph.... hem success... whew!
A lot of traffic parked here these days during business hours, no one around on a Sunday afternoon. TFTC.
I very nearly didn't come to have a look for this one but very pleased I did because when I got to GZ I first had a good at one possible hide and when I didn't find a cache there thought it must be another. Quick find after that. TFTC # 11,653

The first find of the day, caching my way to this afternoon's CITO. Easily found. TFTC.

Out for a MMM with TW and TG! We stopped here to make the find. Wee hide was a little tricky. So happy to make a rare LGM find. Thanks Kev!

Heading out on a Mad Monday Mission with TG and 8MA. The evening was stunningly warm, good ol' Nor' Wester and it was still light. Daylight Savings and geocaching go hand in hand for evening missions. Did I mention it was warm. The plan was to cruise north to grab a few of the new caches and then mop up the ones in town and hope for the best. Rather sedate night for the crew. Thanks to 8Man there were travelling snacks to keep us sustained 'to find just one more'.
Was weary that there was a DNF, but when we got to GZ found the cache in two seconds. Blends right in. The previous puzzle here was super awesome.
Thanks for the cache LittleG Magic.

I've struggled with Little G caches in the past, still took a bit of searching before we found it but quicker than expected. TFTC LittleG Magic

Had a quick look in the dark yesterday morning but without success, not an uncommon problem with a LGM hide. Back a bit later today and found exactly where I thought it would be! Thanks for the effort in placing and maintaining these cool hides.
I was making that much more difficult than it really was! Pleased to find and log it. Tftc Little G
TFTC. Post a very successful CITO at our planting at Woodend I decided to look for a couple of caches on the way home.
Thanks LittleG for placing the cache.
Thanks LittleG for placing the cache.
Ok, so I totally overthought this one and actually looked in the right place a couple of times but didn't see it because I wasn't expecting it to be that simple! Didn't help that the GPS was jumping all over the place making me second guess everything! Got there in the end though. TFTC
Another excellent visit back to Christchurch with tmann421 checking out some sights and collecting some caches along the way.
A quick find for us here today. TFTC

Quick find on ground. Think i have put it back right. signed with red vivid dot.
Another that I have seen before, and such a cunning little hide. Was scared witless I'd drop it and it would never have surfaced. Thanks.
Searched a couple of common hide locations at a GZ like this, before remembering, Ah, this is a LittleG cache, chances are it's not "normal"....spotted the cache pretty quickly then. Nicely hidden. Thanks for the cache
Who has abducted Little G???
I spotted this one from meters away - double digit meters!
The hardest part was extracting the log and finding something that would leave a mark on it - ended up using a pencil as none of the pens in the car liked the paper.
It's been good to see some new LGM caches, though finding the time to get to them has been problematic lately.
Found this on the way to deliver some guide biscuits, there wasn't time to get the 2nd "Screwed Up" cache - doesn't look like it'll be as hard as the original (hopefully that's not famous last words).
Don't know what happened to the log published through my app. One part of app says its published, the other says it's pending, and it's not on the website so logging again.

Quick find after another little g fail elsewhere. Knew it as soon as I saw it. Then I dropped the darn thing but it was soon retrieved and replaced back in its hiding spot. Tftc
With today being forecast not to reach the 30's I cycled out from home this morning to find this, and a couple of other caches. Nice quick find - a bit of a rarity for me at a LG cache.
Here's a list of good reasons for cache hunting today:
A nice sunny day.
Only 1 calendar find.
Heading to this part of town.
A cool hide.

Peaceful here on a cool Sunday afternoon. Soon had the cache in hand- struggled to write on the waterproof paper. tftc

Cache for the day time.
I was tired, so decided mum could drive. Passed over to her, and said I wanted to stop for this cache on the way home. And I took a nap! Half navigated from my sleep, but wok to us being practically here!!
As mum pulled over, I rolled out of the car - spotted the cache before even looking! Woo hoo!!
Nice easy grab, and then slept in the car rest of the way home too!!!

Definitely the quickest LGM cache we have ever found - handy on the way back from town, too! Spotted likely object from car, and yes!! TFTC!!
Went for a day trip around Pegasus and Woodend with Injeanious and jess.daphne, we signed the log as InTheDaph. TFTC.

Jess.daphne, The Burnsy and I decided to team up for a day of geocaching around Pegasus and Woodend. We picked up 21 caches and had a good time exploring the area on a cool summers day.
We were feeling the Little G vibe and decided to try and locate this cache as well. Could we make it three for three with Little G caches this weekend? We pulled up at gz and spread out to search. Jess.daphne no sooner went to the fence when she located the cache. Woah, that was fast! I think we'll be attempting a few more Little G caches in future. TFTC.

Clever hide. Found surprisingly quickly for a LGM cache - haven't found any LGMs for a long long time before these recently published ones. TFTC (2697)
Did a wee detour,before heading to the Otakaro "Avon River"Caches.No Farmer in sight,only Roadworkers a short distance away..digging their B I G Trench..Have seen similar in our Geo travels..Clever.TFTH
Wandered along with the farmer and his dog keeping an eye on us. Made up for not finding the other one. TFTC
We didn't even stop,as the Farmer and another Bloke were standing within a few meters of GZ..
We wonder if he's noticing that strangers are stopping at his Fence!! We will be back though...

We pulled up and wondered if the log would be blank - who else would be up this early in the misty drizzle etc to get the FTF? Well, Catzpjs for one. Good on them, cheers
Nice quick find on not such a nice morning for caching.. but a new Little G. Nice clean log too. TFTC.
Loved it. Heading up to Amberley for an adventure with the boys. Ignored the road closed signs and went for it. Quick find and sign in a quiet (not surprising!) spot. Loved it. Nice one. Thanks
Another potential FTFbut no, beaten to the punch by cats PJs. Never mind, good to find a LGM hide. Cheers.
Kiwi Moose was able to arrange a day pass, so we took the opportunity to go travel to North of the Waimak to do some treasure hunting. Had a great day, signed most logs KM+KR or vice versa. 8am to 10pm, a long day.
Thanks to all the CO's for their hides.
