Saw a few birds on the walk with Richbritty and found fairly quickly -Graemey from UK
Beautiful day for geocaching with Graemey from UK - especially given Graemey is an avid birdwatcher. TFTC.
This is a pleasant walk. No trouble locating the cache which I hid a bit better as it was quite visible. Thanks.
I've been to this area for geocaching several times, each time just getting one find to save the others for days when they're needed for dot days or challenges or souvenirs. Today was one of my last few dot days to fill in the calendar without using adlabs, so although I was tired after work and a busy week I knew I had to get out and find a cache. I managed to park in the one spot 100m away from the cache so I didn't even get too wet in the drizzle. A very quick find, happily spotted it right away. Thanks so much for a nice easy cache to get me closer to a full calendar!
Quick find right where it should be. Thanks for bringing me here. Wonderful place for a walk.
Day off + sun = Caching. Fairly low tolerance for looking in cabbage trees, and flaxes, but luckily this one wasn't too messy. Cheers!
Almost forgot to log = not my first time that it happens to me..
I was in Chch for a tournament happening at the Pioneer Stadium, managed to find some caches in the morning but then it was a lot of time inside the Stadium.
Late afternoon I managed to "escape" for a quick walk, looked on my phone and thought this looks like a nice loop, short and some caches as well and nearby.
Drove closest to this one, parked next to the road, started the loop and had a first quick find here. Nice size to leave some smaller swaps.

Took the kids for a wander, a wee bit wet around here currently. Beaut stroll, ducks and hawks and magpies abounded. Cheers

Not only is the cache missing but the rock it was hiding under! Moved away from culvert and little hands that like to splash rocks!
New cache and new hint.

I looked at the hint there was no loose rocks the water might be higher I don’t know.
Quick, easy find thanks. Fairly busy place today so a little stealth required
Nicely tucked away.
First to sign the shiny new log!
TFTC which has taken us on a lovely walk

Biked over with Mr12 for a looksee. Cache definitely awol, as were the smaller hidey covering rocks.....not sure how this is happening...but maybe little hands might be finding little rocks to throw in the water?! Anyhoooo, replacement film container cache hidden with some smaller rocks to cover it. We'll see how it goes. Good to go again.
