Cache is getting muggled. Give me a few weeks hoping to get a new location sorted.
Having seen some of the CO'S other caches we knew exactly what we wee looking for and so it proved ..... except some miscreant has stolen the lid and the inner container.We therefore inserted a new pill container and a few strategically placed stones to keep it going.Will also message the CO.
Out on an afternoon's cyclocache ride. A quick stop as I headed up the Railway Line cycle trail. Thanks for the cache the Seagnoid.
A nice quick find here today. Got a few of these type of caches up in Bay of Plenty so knew it when we saw it. Tftc
Out caching today in Nelson with Jag50 and Net61. .
Really enjoying being somewhere different, with plenty of geocaches.
Couldn't work out access initially as no sign of the Street name...
All good here.

Day 3 with Supernannny and Net61 in Nelson exploring this part of the country. We felt a bit strange driving into the retirement village to get this one. A short walk to gz and we spotted the hide. TFTC
Oh dear, I found it, but I didnt if you get my drift The Seagnoid...similar to your cache in Wakefield , exterior but no interior!
Day 3 of my Nelson trip, along with NZ_B, YetiNZ and Mr-Mcgoo. This is something we planned a while back and have very much been looking forward to 
During our time here, all found caches were signed as NMTY (regardless of whether 2, 3 or all 4 of us hadn't found it previously), or with individual names for Challenge Caches according to whomever was claiming the find.It's now evening and after another full day of caching we were definitely in the mood for a good meal, so filled our boots at Lone Star in the CBD. Of course we were offered the dessert menu, but decided that what went best after a day of caching and a good meal...was more caches! It was a beautifully calm night, so why not?If I'm being honest, with the lure of another 50+ caches day for those working their way through the qualifying for the DGSc Challenge, we were on a bit of a numbers grab by now.This was a straightforward find at GZ, but the cache had gone. We improvised as best as we could and left a replacement to keep this one going until the CO gets a chance to do maintenance.Thanks for setting this one up.

So we did. With minimal specific agendas, and lots of unfound caches in the area, the goal for this four day break is exploring, having fun, and finding geocaches. Here is one we found.
This was day three, and another fifty plus day that had us focusing around Nelson town, starting at the northern end and working our way south.
The expected hide was found here, but seemed to be missing its internal components. We replaced with what we had.
The log was signed as NuMpTY (or NMTY) for NZ_B, Mr-Mcgoo, TwigNZ, & YetiNZ

Thanks to the Seagnoid for placing and maintaining this cache. I enjoy each and every cache I find, and it is only with CO's like this placing them out in the world that this wonderful game continues.
[DGSc-Bulk] tagging to help me generate a list for GC30AD8 - DGSc Challenge.

This cache can now be found again as I have placed a new cache container, with waterproof paper as the log, as requested by the CEO.
Kia ora rawa atu for the cache the Seagnoid.

#21828. After completing an ad lab in Richmond, it was off to Stoke for our first physical cache of the day. The distinctive outer container was spotted immediately, but the inner container was much bigger than usual. I had a lot of trouble extracting it as there was very little room to get my fingers around the inner container. There was just enough room to jam one finger in the gap, and it took quite some time to maneuver the cache out (had to start again at least once). Then I found the container was completely empty, so I tore off a strip of paper to act as a temporary log, and signed that. TFTC.
We had a late start this morning as it was raining steadily and we are not wet weather cachers. Set out when it started clearing, and first port of call was Richmond and a newish ad lab there, then we started heading northward.
StreetWalkerNZ spotted this unfound Nelson rail and we naughtily drove to it, parking in a residents only carpark
. There was only one other car parked here, and we knew we'd be quick, so didn't think it would be a problem. Unfortunately not as quick as hoped because the inner container fitted too snuggly and was rather hard to winkle out! SW got there in the end. Thanks for another in the series.

Thanks for another in the series.This is my 2nd find in this Nelson Rail series. I noted the recent CO maintenance, so made a point of passing by tonight to sign the fresh replacement log. Having small hands makes it easier to extract the container. TFTC
Dnf I could not find this one it kept saying 4 m but then even when we were 1 m we could not find it it was my first time tho ahaha
This was a quick find after the rain had stopped. More on the way unfortunately. I replaced the log which had gone missing so hope that ok with the CO. Thank you for setting this up as a lot of work has gone into this series. A favourite point from me.
Found it.... Sadly it's empty sad 6yo girl with me... Thanks creator we appreciate all you do!
Found this today but inner cache was missing, after messaging the Co with photo the Co has allowed me to log the find, thank you seagnoid. I have enjoyed the nelson railway caches (still got lots to go) and some very interesting history on a railway to nowhere. thanks for all the caches keep up the good work
My 3 yr old beat me to this one! He's seen quite a few of these rail caches before. It was nice and quiet here today. TFTC
Used to regularly walk past here when renting nearby whilst building. A quick find today in the now regular styled container. Cache in excellent condition. A quick log and replaced as found. Thanks Seagnoid for the cache.
