Thanks

Yay found, good clue, think black.

Great location.

What an awesome spot! TYFTC

Found this one with a bit of trouble but search deeper if you can't find it.

A very short run from the car before continuing to explore all the tracks above. Easy find, signed and replaced just in time before walkers started appearing from both directions.

We found it

All good here, please use the reverse of the log-strip to sign in. Initials only too please

Walked up from Harling Park. Was a nice walk with the toddler. Took a wee but to find this one but found it after not to long.

Log almost full on one side. Will have to bring another scrap of paper or sign back of the logs already there.

Completing a circuit on the hills with the SoBads, I had no trouble talking them into returning to the car via this route rather than a slightly more obvious one. This is a track I hadn't been on before. The hint worked a treat. Thanks for the hide.

Nice walk coming from Harling Park. Thanks

Yay

First find

Found while out on an early morning walk with Kiwimykl. With the upper tracks of the Wither Hills Farm Park closed for safety reasons due to the high fire risk, I have had to modify my daily walk route. The other night having found a new route, I took Kiwimykl out. As we passed by here, he mentioned a cache which I hadn't got, but not having a pen we didn't bother looking for it. This morning when I dragged him out of bed for a walk, he grabbed a pen which is why I got to sign the log at 7.15am this morning.

Found with eltee291, Hingis20 and crman1. Lovely day for it! TFTC

Found with eltee291, Hingis20, and coastalmartinis. TFTC!

Pretty quick find this evening with coastalmartinis and eltee291 before the Event at Harling Park Lookout! What a beautiful area and a perfect night to be up there(aside from a little wind). Signed the log and replaced as found. Thanks for the cache, capperz!

Quick find this evening, with hingis20 and coastalmartinis, before the event at the view point. Interesting story behind this cache. Probably a good thing the word about geocaching is well spread. TFTC

Quick and fun find, while meandering around what is a beautiful park. TFTC

Very small. Cool

A day of mixed activities for us, dropped off a package at one address and picked up another elsewhere, found some caches and even managed to place some to assuage the guilt (yeah, right) of a Nelson Interloper claiming a FTF in "foreign" territory.
This cache has been on our 'to do' list for so long yet kept getting left for another visit. I was always under the impression it required a bit of a hill walk and was never on the tracks we walked at various times. Not so! Today we had made the find, log signed, and back at the car in about 5 minutes.
Thank you capperz.

We always left this one on our Wither Hills expeditions because we thought we wouldn't have the energy. We shouldn't have feared. A short walk in the spring sun and before I was in search mode Holymy already said the words. Thank you capperz

Unusually quick find of this type for me

I had an opportunity to go to the South Island and take a week off work and do some caching while Mrs Yeetrees had to go to the ANZEG Conference 2018 which was being held in Nelson.

Day 7: Nelson to Blenheim. Today was he day that we decided that we would make our way to Blenheim and stay the night there before making our way to Picton on Saturday to catch the Ferry back home. We decided that we would pick up a few caches along the way if the chance allowed but we wouldn't get to carried away.

After finding GC7JR10 - P.U.B crawl 4 - The Hills Ide (Marlborough), this was the next cache that we had on our list to find, Mrs Yeetrees found a safe parking spot Elmwood Ave, which wasnt too far from the cache, from there I made my way towards GZ

Arriving at GZ, we checked the hint and it took a little bit of searching but we soon found the little blitter well hidden.

Managed to retrieve the cache, signed and then replaced the cache back where I found it. Thanks capperz for placing this cache here and for bringing me to this spot, TFTC TNLNSL (13650).

A reasonably quick find as darkness fell. TFTC

Just finished a letter cache...and as you do check for any caches near by ...followed the track and soon had the cache in hand ..thanks capperz for the placement

We were in the area finding another cache and decided that since we were already wet we may as well get another. The clue was very helpful as I didn't want to dive into too many wet bushes. Thanks for the placement Caperz.

First find for 2018! Gorgeous place to be on such a beautiful day. Kids enjoyed cardboard sliding down the hills while others played fetch with the dog...Nice easy find with friends...tftc

First find for New Year this is getting addictive x

Out and about with Jude_E. Nice view while we signed the log. TFTC

Quick find with Arandee. Thanks for placing a cache here.

Great cache

TFTC

Found it! Luckily I did! The first thing thought when I found it was how was I going to get to it?! Tough find, great fun!

We are out doing the Sport Tasman Winter explorer activity. This one lead us to Harling park, so while the kids answer the question - what is the cardboard for- and figure out what effect the grass being wet has, I wandered off and found a treasure. TFTC.

Going for a walk after coming to town so decided to look for a couple along the way. TFTC.

Found while in the area. Cache is in good shape. TFTC

After an invigorating cup of coffee, StreetWalker and I were ready to tackle some more Blenheim caches, targeting puzzles as the drizzle came and went.
Luckily the co-ords were spot on as there were a few hint objects to choose from. Haven't been to this part of the hills before, thanks capperz.

#13699. Hanging caches can be tricky to spot, but I soon located this one. RIght, now to continue on the the letter box. TFTC.

Quick find on an evening stroll. Hopefully the first of many this Summer. TFTC.

Great day for a walk. Nice quick find. Tftc

Another day to go hunting, working on my personal objective, getting my calendar up to three. So a nice little walk after work.
I don't get it. Why the cache title? Above the Law...n? There is a lawn down there. Well, a paddock, really.

I parked in what I thought looked like a car park at the entrance close to the cache. While I was still in the car a NelMac vehicle pulled up just past and kept sitting there. This made me wonder if they were wanting to enter so I started to back and then they pulled away so not sure what was going on. Parked on the roadside and made my way up. Followed the directions and found the cache shortly after. TFTC #9136

With a bit of spare time on my hands today, I decided to head over to Marlborough to find a few more caches over there. Wandered up from below, got to GZ, had a look around, eventually spotted the cache. All good here. TFTC, Biggles.

A frosty Sunday morning walk with Mrs KE and Ellie. We started from below and decided we weren't above the law so this was as far as Ellie went. It took us a few minutes of looking before we saw the cache.
Thanks capperz for the cache.

#10289

I was getting crazy!!xD but at the end is mine

I couldn't bring the hint up on my phone for some reason but the cache name helped. After a bit of standing around with Miss 3 (who always makes things look slightly less suspicious) I spotted it and signed, then we were off to the park. Tftc.

Autorouting on the GPS knew the best way to get to the cache - which was lucky as Mrs SoBad certainly didn't know about this entrance. How many ways are there? Mrs SoBad was about to use two other entrances - after finding another cache first.
Thanks.

With Marchwood.
WE both spotted it at same time but from opposite sides.
We stayed legal, but I won a bet !
Thanks capperz for the cache.

I walk this track with Ms M whenever I'm in town to play Bridge, so I thought that I KNEW where the best access way was. I lost. Still, I new Bum wouldn't really mind the 400M walk.
A quick find and then considerable banter as we returned to the cars.
TFTC

Very tricky!! But we found it! Thank you-great placement

Nice story about the copper capperz, and this was in the vicinity of another 'must grab ' today, so two birds, one stone and all that. Took a tree each and jojo struck the lottery. TFTC

I decided to leave this one for a daytime find based on the cache name and location. Beaten by the midnight cacher but still 2nd with Kiwimykl and Raisinpig today. Much easier to spot these in daylight. A good area for a cache. TFTC

2TF with GH6710 and Raisinpig. For some strange reason most local caches are published while I am working an evening shift at Pak'N Save. This gives me the opportunity to have a go at them at the end of my shift and I can usually beat 'sshmule' in the FTF race as his shift at the opposition New World supermarket finishes two hours later than mine. However, I was prepared to let this one slide for a variety of reasons: The first being, I have already got my monthly FTF (13 month streak) so there was no urgency. Secondly, the public are not supposed to be in the Wither Hills Farm Park after the hours of sunset. And thirdly, from the COs cache page, there are obviously some vigilant neighbours around who have no hesitation in calling in the 'Federales' if they see something suspicious.

However lunchtime today was a different situation altogether, when after solving another of this CO's mystery caches, I was in the 'general vicinity' for a FTF dragging a couple of fellow cachers from work along at the same time.

Thanks to accurate coordinates, a good hint and the fact the sun was over the horizon (but behind clouds), this cache was a QEF at GZ.

TFTC capperz

Been a long time since our lunchtime caching team has been together.... just missing the CO today.
Parked nearby and entered the farm park - just a short walk to GZ. GH6710 spotted cache pretty quickly and signed for a 3 way 2TF.

Mobile phone lights are terrible for searching this kind of cache in the dark, the light just doesn't penetrate far enough.
Had to scuffle around for a while, as the hint is extremely ambiguous and is open to a plethora of varying interpretations.
Thanks Capperz.
