Logs
Reached in at the right spot and found easily log was full, squeezed my name in and then noticed there was another empty paper in the container:)
Headed out today to get the final points for the Cosmic Quest challenge souvenir. Had a plan but that got tossed out the window with the wet weather, so it was on to plan B which was a bit drier.Back at the carpark and grabbed this one as the muggles in the playground were now gone. A quick find here. tftc#9863
I was in the area, so I couldn't pass up this one. There were quite a few muggles heading off on the trail, but I had GZ all to myself. TFTC.
**20,271**A nice quick find here, surprisingly no children were at the very cool playground. The log sheet was wet so added a sheet of waterproof log paper. TFTC
Log book may be full but the whole cache has gone when checked. Replace with slightly different format. All god to go.
Last find while finishing a pleasant walk through the lower Wither Hills, then river side. The coordinates were spot on and and it was soon found in its neat hiding place. Thanks Kiwimykl for your hides here.
Just in Blenheim for a visit where my mother lives down the road so an opportunity to find this one. Tftc
Out on a morning's cyclocache ride heading generally south from Pollard Park finding caches and DNFing others as I went. I think the neighbour across the road was having caravan trouble so when he and his mate's backs were toward me I made a quick find and replace. TFTC Kiwimykl
Found out with Judith while enjoying a nice walk. TFTC stealth needed due to people at the park
A nice little playground here for the kids (and there were a few!). Nice and simple, onto the river track again. Cheers
A quick detour off the cycle trail to find this. I felt a bit exposed but the cache was easily retrieved so didn't hang around for long. Thanks for the cache kiwimykl.
Out enjoying the great tracks on our new ebikes. Staying at racecourse in a Motorhome
We were in Blenheim today just for the day as GK had a new work toy to pick up. We planned to do a bit of shopping and a bit of geocaching before heading for home.
We had done all the shopping we could cope with so headed a bit further out of town.
We have not seen this entrance before so it was interesting to have a wee look around while we were in the area. As we drove up towards the cache I could see it hanging down half way out of its hiding place. So it was an instant find, GK signed the log and returned it so that it was fully inserted and hopefully safe from muggles.
We thought we would go and find a few more caches in the area before the weather that had been threatening to rain closed in.
Thanks for the cache and thank you for the smiley.

A nice quick find thanks. I got the old bike off the car and took it for some excercise down and up the trail.
Last one on the trail.
Ms_KR and I are off on a wee tour of the North Island. We of course had to get there first, and today we cruised around Blenheim and then off to catch the ferry tomorrow., The weather was fine and sunny, until we hit Picton, and now it is raining. We're still having a lovely time.
Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Did a few pretend shoelace tie ups so that any onlooking muggles living across the road couldn't see what we were up to
Today I'm on my way from Nelson to Picton to catch the ferry to Wellington en route to Auckland. I passed through Marlborough and Blenheim and found a few caches along the way. I was also quiite focused on completing the Solar System quest as well. I parked on the road near the gate and found the cache in the first place I checked. TFTC, Biggles.
Thanks for putting out this cache for woolwood9 and I to find!
SL **tm/ww NZ** (may just be a black smudge on wet or plastic logs)
*We soon had another good cache located, now onto the next one!*
Parked nearby for a very nice walk.

Bike riding our ‘Dam Circuit’ today … with a cache in mind also. This was one of two completed on this ride. We don’t do every cache along the way, as it’s nice to collect one each time we come on this track. Thanks, Kiwimykl, for adding extra value to our ride today.
Hello, my name is Nathan and I am only six months old. Today my Nannie (NZDi) and Poppa (Kiwimykl) were baby sitting me and we went for a short walk around the area where we live. Poppa decided to do some cache checks on his geocaches in the area and thought it would be a good opportunity for me to find them at the same time.

Cache check carried out while out geocaching with my six month old grandson. All good here.
Still stuck in Blenheim so trying to make the most of it. Hired a bike so that I could go a bit further out of town and collect some more caches. Headed further down the Taylor river reserve. Such a great trail to cycle. Lots of new developments and a nice tractor nearby in the playground. Quick find. Slowly getting to know where the locals like to hide their caches. Thanks
Mum & Z10 discovered a previously unknown to them park! It's been a tough day, we needed this moment together.
Day 19 of our March Madness.
TFTC Kiwimykl!

Find #42 for MnAJ - pulled up, and Mum sat in the car saying "I'd look in that spot" - sure enough, exactly the right spot. Dropped a wee 3D printed geocaching logo keyring that Dad made. Tftc.
High muggle area with the amount of nearby house building and tradesmen coming and going. TFTC.
Dad found this one before I did, TY for the cache. Didn’t even know about this place before now
On a raid from the West today with bumandworker.
Bum engaged the garden workers while I made the find and sign.
Unbelievable. That tractor in the park was purchased by the local body fully restored and in working order. What they do? Disable it and plonk it in a park. Unbelievable. Did I already say that?

Really nice what they are doing here...will they be like Nelson and lock the gate after spending all this money.
As for the tractor, a crime. The old fella in Nelson would cry after restoring it. It was even driven off the truck before, in the words of the workers, destroying it! Really !!
Mr stealth Marchwood did the honors. Thanks for this one.

There were lots of construction muggles around so I took a much longer walk than I had intended so as not to draw attention to myself. I had a good look at the new (?) playground and followed the footpath down to the river trail.
Thank you for the cache and for bringing me to a new area.

A quick find, Jo found this one. TFTC Kiwimykl.
One of 4 caches found tonight.
Jo was free and keen so the extra set of eyes paid off as we picked up a few mostly urban caches in the Taylor Pass Rd area.
With Big Vern’s house being adjacent to the entrance for a newly planted cache, we made the plan to drop on by for a coffee and then a nighttime grab to help for qualification for a challenge cache.
There was a late change to the plan though so the coffee date was called off, but otherwise it was easy going and very quiet.

I was very surprised at the number of cars driving round perusing the area. I guess some were just being nosey and others perspective buyers. However I was just waiting for them all to get out of there a bit quicker than they were so I could get on with what I came for. TFTC # 13,774
A solo find for Mrs W on an early morning bike ride. So nice to finally be back to getting some smilies on the map. TFTC.
