First find on our adventure in Geraldine today. Miss 9 found straight away tftc

DNF

Couldnt find it

Found on this beautiful day Great hide Thank you for the cache

An easy find thanks to the hint. Our last cache after a day walking this track and the ones in Talbot Forest Reserve. TFTC

Will try again on another day

Found it but didn't dig for it due to others comments regarding wet log book etc

Watch out fir prickles& long grasses

Couldn't find

Kids Alive!

DNF! Found number 12 easily however digging did not help us find it!

Be great once the new plantings grow

Thank you!

TFTC. Found and replanted. So wet inside, I think something may start growing in it. Needs drying and paper. Photo instead of ink.

Tftc. Log book very wet so didnt write in it.

Tftc

Fency finding that

Filled with water and log will need replacing. Found with scouts

Cool hide log might need some replacing as it had quite a bit if water in it tftc

.

Seemed to be on other side of a fence, wasn't sure if it was private property.

Looked for a bit but on a time limit so didn’t stay for long

It was pretty easy and fun thanks bey (:

??

Quick find. Stunning spring day today for a bit of caching. Thanks for the cache!

Found thanks

#21449. After doing the Downs/Gale track, we had to decide whether we had enough energy (around 4:30PM) for one more cache. The lure of avenging a DNF was enough to get us up the track to GZ and make a quick find. TFTC.

With temperatures dropping, we were keen to head to our accommodation and a coffee, but made the time to try and avenge a DNF.
I think we must have come from a different access point last time, as I don't remember the path being this steep. StreetWalkerNZ made it to GZ first and made a quick find. Good to turn a blue face into a smile. TFTC.

Quick easy find.TFTC

Looked with the kids but could not find this one.

We needed to do two geocaches to celebrate 22022022 or 22222 day depending how you look at it. These two have been on our list for some time. Easy find though extremely wet. Paper unsignable though I did make a mark of sorts. Easy find. I suggest a new piece of paper and a plastic bag. A very wet area.

Whoo didn't think we'd get these ones thought we'd run out time - found with Juju54 - TFTC

Phew puffed & blew our way up the hill & yes another find!!! With Campmotherandken TFTC

Found near gz and replaced where the hint suggested; TFTC

found

pretty easy find once started thinking about the clue … the log needs replacing as said before didn’t have any paper on me sorry !!!

After checking the obvious we widened the search a little and soon found the cache. TFTC.

Reasonably quick find considering. I had a good look at number 12. Paper old, dirty and hard to write on. Needs a nice new log really next one along.

Took a while, but found it.

Next time

Frustrating but we found it!!

Frustrated but found

To be fair, it is starting to rain so I didn't dwell too long

Cheers and thanks,
S.t.

Found this at last. Three of us looked and looked but it was kakariki who found it in the end. Relieved to have at last got a smiley for this one

Log book is rather damp and disintergrating

Found with reshamfiriri, finally. This one had been bugging us for some time. TFTC

In town for a few days for a wedding and all the stuff that goes along with it, hiccup, burp etc. Mr 13 and I did an early morning run through the forest tracks today. Back out in the open, this was straight forward enough, and I understand the hint now.

Wow a smiley face this time and went straight to it!! Isn'e it funny how that can happen. TFTC

A quicker find than we expected and our geocaching in the area with Busypaws

Found on a walk back to town

A nice view of the town from here. Checked the obvious, then the other side, then... where else is a possbility? Scratched around, saw white, phew.

It did stay buried. Couldn't find it despite a thorough search

Checked out hint possibilities to no avail however did not climb the fences.

Just wasn’t thorough enough last time.

When we saw the hint we knew that we are getting dirty hands. It took a bit longer but eventually found.
TFTC

Still there as I thought It would be!!!!!

No luck here. Found something of interest but it didn't yield a cache. (BTW nof's log looks like it should have been a DNF not a find).

Looked for this one on the way two and from gully #2, but had no luck.

Obvious hint item yielded nothing. Others were over fences. So nothing for me.

Had a good hunt but came up empty.

This one has got us puzzled.
Looking at previous entries we are not the only ones.
Will have to come back for another go.
Will keep an eye on new entries

No luck on this short track.

2nd times a charm! Tftc

Out in Geraldine today clearing off a few caches we missed last time.

Greetings from the UK

Mud and Kim

Tricky but thanks to a previous clue we found it.

Tricky find. Great hiding spot.
Found with grasp103 their first find.

2. Cache for me, again together with Kiwibuilder who infected me with the geo-cache-virus

Found with my German girlfriend (now a confirmed geocacher as of yesterday), Kea69. My find; being German she didn't exactly know what 'stay' was/is. My 152nd. Her 2nd.

TFTC. A bit of a search but we got it

Couldn’t find

12/10

By Caitlin

Found with Trishr. Tftc.

We meant to head back to the car after the last find but these were so close we decided to grab them along the way. A quick find here. tftc

Our first find of the day - we are on a walking/caching 3-month visit from UK. Geraldine for Xmas! TFTC

The hint is pretty straightforward to a cryptic crossword solver. Others seem to have found it obscure. Nice little path. Our first Geraldine cache this holiday.

Found on our Geraldine tour. TFTC

Last cache to find on the walk, kids did really well. Now off to the playground! TFTC

Tough one, tried both sides of track for some time, got there!

Nice spot, great family adventure.
Geraldine Caches are really disappointing for families with little kids though!! Miss 4 left some treasure

still there

With COs help I located this one today. No one else on the log paper at all? Thanks for the cache, BCD.
#4940

Really needed to take the hint literally for this one (we got help from placer here) TFTC

I get a fail for this one.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

checked the usual spots but had to move on as a local was eying me suspically.

Spent a long time here with Busy paws, searching all possible areas in the vicinity, and double checking them, no luck at all. Either our caching mojo had disappeared for a bit, or it's just not there.

As Geomum007 has said, we spent ages here with no luck, we ran out of places after a while! Most things at GZ were pulled, dug around searched with gusto! Not for us today.

replaced log please put back where you found it not where you think it should be ..thanks

Quick find but was unable to sign log as it was just a sodden mess. Thanks for the cache

bit windy.

Super easy find

Super easy find after arts and plants

A relatively quick find, but was unable to sign as the log was sodden. Sorry I had nothing with me to replace it. Have photo to prove I visited.

LOg is sodden in its bag -0 Needs replacement.

A quick and easy find today. was a bit damp, but I had no spares with me. Thanks

We decided on a quick mini break down Timaru way. The only issue was the camp ground had double booked our room, and we were bedless, So we headed up to Geraldine after finding most of the new Timaru hides.

Thanks to the CO's for placing and maintaining these caches. Cheers.
