Good to come back and get that completed thatvties up caches in Woodend. Another find for Sally and me tftc.
A good wee cache! Cheers folks. Found with Elfie!..his 1st find n looking very pleased.
We checked Jessie's Bone and it is missing A new one will be replaced tomorrow .Sorry for any inconvenience.
*Catching up on some logging*Came out to Woodend to pick up an item I had purchased. A teacher only day for Cup Week so I had Miss 10 and Miss 16 with me. We decided, naturally, to do some caching while we were here, stop for lunch at an amazing bakery on the main road, and then hit the beach for a swim as it was stinking hot!A bit of a search for this one but got there in the end. Thanks for another smiley.
Visiting from Northland and took moms dog for a walk…. And forgot a pen. Great cache though!!! And perfect hint. Will be back tomorrow to sign the log book.
We are having a fun day of Geocaching. Walked to this one with Geomum007 as the others had this one. A lovely walk in new park for us. Thanks for the cache Wombles B.J&T.
Enjoying a day of caching in the area, found this with Coconuts3 the other 2 in our team already had this one. Nicely placed hide. TFTC!
Out on a bike ride, cache hunting, done a 50km loop on a nice hot day. Thanks For the cache Bitsprayer.
Found the cache quickly, but it was open and the log book was nowhere to be found. Photo added for proof of find, cache just opposite the spot where I took the photo.
Decided on a short bike ride around.
Nice themed container. Container had water in and log was wet but was still able to sign.

Using WEKA's better coordinates we went straight to the right hint object, but then looked at the lower fork before eventually realizing it was higher up! The log was very wet, but still writeable nonetheless. TFTC!
Coordinates changed from:
S 43° 19.734 E 172° 40.194
Coordinates changed to:

These cords are more correct..

9 January 2022 10:52. Thanks WEKA for the better coordinates. Fortunately waterproof paper as cache was soaked tipped out what water I could. A Lovely reserve, thanks for bringing me here, TFTC.
We failed to find this cache on a previous visit a year ago, and today it still took us quite a while, as for us it was about 8 metres west of the coordinates, at S43 19.733 E172 40.189. TFTC
(# 6022). Day 3 of my South Island odyssey. Today is getting caches from Kaikoura to Christchurch. Woke up to a fine frosty morning with views of the snow capped ranges. An uneventful trip down. A quick find. Everything in order. TFTC
Than you for this cache, Wombles B.J&T - purdiepurdie & I had been at the nearby CITO and stopped here on our way back to the main road.
This was the last ache on a successful sunny day - great to be out & about !

TFTC. The final cache of the day as KSI and I drove home fro the very pleasant CITO.
Took a little searching and then there it was - right in front of my eyes.

Gosh, it's been a year this week since it was found.
Took me a long time, I was about to give up when I spotted it 6 metres from where my GPS thought it was. The hint was helpful once I had located the correct object.
Thanks for taking me this lovely quiet park

TFTCMum had her Lion's Cabinet meeting in Amberley yesterday so on the way home today we combined some cache maintenance with caching for the last of our Mystery of the Museum finds. With Baby maintenance done it was time to head over to Woodend. We parked on Panckhurst Drive for a nice walk around to GZ. A very quick find of the cute themed container. As already stated the logbooks were wet so we brought a floral strip with us and have added it inside. We left the wet logbooks above the container under a stone if you wish to retrieve them. Dropping in a favourite point. Thanks for the effort involved in placing and creating this cache for all of us to enjoy. 
This time an easy find. No idea how we missed it last time. Added some paper, but not sure how long this will last. TFTC

The bone is not waterproof, so it looks like. Logbook's a bit wet.
Otherwise, yes, a nice walkway. Stopped by after the CITO event.

Out for a spot of cyclocaching around Rangiora. I rode along the new cycle path to Woodend and back which was very pleasant despite the cold wind. This cache was a quick find. TFTC.
24 February 2019 2:48 PM Jessie took us for a gps run around the neighborhood but finally found her bone. TFTC Wombles B.J&T
Out for another day of collecting caches in the local area.
A quick find.

Day three of a brief trip to Christchurch and time to head home, caching as I go. A cool container. TFTC .
.Staying in Woodend for a couple of days and this was our last night so decided to head out in the early evening while it was still light and see how many of the nearby caches we could grab. This was the closest and so the first on the list. The GPSr wouldn't settle on any particular spot and it took a few minutes of searching before the cache was finally located. TFTC.
We found a number of caches on this trip - thanks to all the hiders for there hides. Trying to get these all logged.
Good to be back in CHCH, my hometown

Today I had spare time between work commitments so headed north of the city to see what I could find. Last cache of the day for me. Time to head back to the city. TFTC, Biggles.
First of seven caches located on a short Sunday afternoon outing, rather dreary weather that it was! No-one in the park today. Found fairly easily. #1819. TFTC.
Wandered across the very nice reserve for a quick find of this cute wee cache. Signed the nice pristine logbook thanks. TFTC # 12,592
We have replaced the Log Book,so it's all good to go and find.
Cheers Barbara,Jessie ^..^ and Terry

A quick find today. The poor log is a bit fragile as there was water in the cute container. I'm sorry I forgot to carry some waterproof paper to put in instead. Nice way to remember your pet. Tftc.
Visiting family in Tuahiwi and had some of the afternoon to spare for a walk in the park. Found the great container and was able to hide from a couple of walkers while I signed.
Thanks very much!
Thanks very much!
Was t going to go in the undergrowth.. I too have a westie at home in Scotland
This year has been a slower year than my average so I decided to head out and try to increase my average cache a day for 2017 to one a day. No problems locating this cache today. Thanks for the cache.
Well we’ll well found it!! Almost gave up on it but seeming how I most likely won’t be passing this way again. Little far from home (California USA) so I must get it this time. Such a pleasure meeting you yesterday and chatting. Thank for the 3 extra NZ caches. Liz & Rod
A quick find by Nanzie as we were making our way home to Nelson thanks Wombles B.J&T

I have been planning to get to this one for some time now, but I always managed to take a different route to where I was going/coming from, and thus successfully bypassing it. This morning since I was in teh area already 
I decided to grab it also. So we went for a short walk in the park in the freezing morning just as it was getting a bit more light. It did not help at all to have a previous finder with me as she had no idea where she found it over a year ago 
Cache sccessfully located though, cool container! After signing the log it was all of a sudden light and I realised that I signed the wrong way - but I was not the only one lol! TFTC!!

We left it hanging
No probs finding this cute container. Out with Wurzle '47 for the day having a good time! TFTC. 
In Christchurch for a few days, a good day to find some caches in this area. Thanks Wombles B.J&T for the cache.
You need at least one DNF per caching day - well, seems to be true for us. Spend too much time here, so another for the watchlist.
Little lower than waist height. We were searching for ages, then suddenly I saw it hanging.
Thanks Warfi.It has been replaced with a new Log Book and Bag
All good to go again..
All good to go again..
Another quick detour on my way home- to gt one last cache I needed. Lovely walkway- hide had me puzzled for a couple of minutes- but then I found it almost by accident! Log and bag are wet and a bit smelly- unfortunately I had nothing with me to rectify. Thanks for a cool hide
Quick easy find on my way home from work. Loved the container might have to borrow this one! REally nice walkway that I didn't know existed. This is why I love caching as it makes you discover these spots. Thanks B and T
Quick find, very nice hide. Was very stealthy and quiet so as not to arouse the suspiscions of the neighbouring muggle!
#13032. It was good of Jessie to donate a bone to the geocaching cause. We enjoyed our short walk in the park. TFTC.
We made the short detour to this cache as we headed home from the Pegasus event. A nice wee park that we had to ourselves - not surprisingly as it was getting cold, especially in the shade.
We could hear a neighbour chopping wood over the fence so had to engage super stealth mode - which was hard as we rustled through the undergrowth. It didn't take long for StreetWalker to sniff out the bone. Nice one! TFTC.
