This one had had its time, the imminent brand change of the nearby establishment means the cache name is no longer relevant. A nearby replacement has been created and submitted for review.

Had a good look on a quiet public holiday, but it remained hidden

A cache check carried out after some recent DNFs. Disabled why I rethink this one. The effect of the cache name is going to be lost after the brand change is completed.

Cant find anything

A DNF for me here.

Bro this one had me a lil stressed tryna us4 the magnet to find it

I remember looking for this one some time ago and giving up when the traffic was too nerve racking. Today, I ignored teh traffic and made a quick find. TFTC.

No luck last time, but a surprisingly quick find this time round while sorting some food. TFTC!!

I had to go to the supermarket this morning, so took the opportunity to swap out the log for a new one. All good to go again.

Quick and easy find but the log is full. Managed to find enough space to write a V. TFTC

Great container!! TFTH

Great hide definitely needs new log paper TFTC

Found on this cold, windy morning we searched around and it wasn't long before we spotted the cache Great hide Thank you for the cache

Signed as a.g log needs a check

Cool cache

It’s weird

funny little thing

Thank you!

I had been here a couple times before but muggles put me off. This time no one was near so I managed a quick signing and replacement. Log is a bit tatty. TFTC.

**18,517**
We were very fortunate to be able to park in in just the right spot, right next to GZ, so cache was a super quick find. TFTC

Most things closed so great day for this kind of caper, tftc

Found more later when I edit the log

A quick find on a Sunday morning tftc

Great hiding place - photo as evidence

Cool hiding spot with some friendly spiders

It was hard

Great little cache! TFTC

Great stuff!! Love these kinds of caches, well done

Goodness this is a very clever hide. Opened cache and no log inside, we don't have ant of these so ripped a strip of our notes and rolled up into cache. Thanks for this cache Kiwimykl.

Not a find for me today

Found it! Tiny. Nothing inside

Small as

It was very tricky and I didn't find this time

Awesome fun!

Another quick snag and tag and last cache for the day. Cheers.
Now the Hospital for a check up and then groceries.
I have an appointment in Blenheim today so making a day of it to grab some caches to assist Signal getting through the Cave Labrynth.

Found easy

Awesome cache

Have been wanting to do this one for quite some time. Finally tonight had the opportunity to pop by while sufficiently quiet. TFTC

Awesome little find!

very cute and tiny container, very easy to find.

So tiny!

Hmmm... could not find at this visit.

Quick easy find with the help of the hint

This is s groovy find thanks heaps

Very fun and challenging spot.

Cerys 15 and I found it together. Third time's a charm I guess.

Stopped by here and replaced full log. All good to go.

An easy find on our second visit. Log full. TFTC

Whoop! TFTC. Misters 4 & 6 loved this one.

Having a quick grab of caches before I fly home. Tftc

TFTC second one for today, debating whether to go back to the closest bus stop.. having a struggle with that one! Thanks again

First one

Its small but its there. Thanks for the chat Kiwimykl

Where is it? Too hard

Missed on my first check of said area but soon had it on closer looking.
Thanks

Very tiny

Once I'd copped on to the actual size, it was an instant find. Very cute cache, about the smallest I've found. TFTC

Thought it was going to be huge since it was ‘ other ‘, i was very much wrong lol

In town for a week to play at the National Indoor bowls. After a disappointing day I went for a walk to collect some caches and to clear my head.
Spotted and grabbed but had to wait for a break in the traffic before I was able to return. Thank you for the placement.

Got it this time

Got it this time in the rain

In a magnet!!!!

Nice quick find for the kiddos tftc

Not too hard

I'm not sure how this cache had evaded my radar (or GPS) for so long, as I live within a few hundred metres of it and drive my truck through this entrance multiple times a week.
I guess when I'm usually here, the place is swarming with muggle-kind, and doesn't encourage a stealthy adventure of sorts.
Just driving past later at night after work, and I thought this was an easy cache to keep my streak going, but it took me a lot longer than it should to find.
I was victim to confirmation bias, where the cache description listed the cache size as 'Other', I assumed it would be one of those 'non-containing' caches which seem to be making their apperances around town thanks to this CO.
So as I spent a good length of time searching for such a hide, I must have overlooked the actual cache a dozen times before I rerouted my thinking and immediately spotted the cache - quite conspicuous now that I've noticed it.
Funny how focus can change how easily you notice things. TFTC

Too muggly to give it a decent bash, but didnt find it from a quick under-perimeter search at the hinted end.

Had a good look and feel with no luck

Checked the base quite thoroughly.

Nice stop off at the Haven Cafe.

A quick find while stopping off for lunch at The Haven Cafe.

Out Caching down here from Auckland with nette1234.
Now for a cafe and lunch and drink stop....Found a lovely Cafe right close!
called "Haven "
Pino Coladas coming up!
Woo hoo!
The food looks ... divine...so much choice.

We found ourselves conveniently near to this so made the short search and easy find. After filling in the log we found a second container as we went to replace the first. The second was 90% full so will pass it onto the CO next week when passing by his office.

Now the cache name makes sense.

I had a little time on our last day in Blenheim so took the time to find a few last minute caches. A nice easy find on a great day out. TFTH

It was a pretty hot afternoon to do anything really. Did the "slip, slop,slap" thing and spent a couple of hours touring around Blenheim looking for a cache or two, or three. No worries here. TFTC

I don't much like these tiny caches as I get annoyed trying to roll the log back up but Couldn't resist nabbing this while visiting countdown. Tftc

These were all pretty cool hides, will be back to do more

TFTCs

TFTF quick easy find

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!*

Enjoyed the caches in the area.

Nice to be away on another geocaching trip with tmann421, travelling to a few places in the upper South Island.
All logs signed tm/ww NZ
TFTC

TINY! Easy find.

Kids found this one on their own. Lots of fun.

Found it

Super fun one to introduce my mum to cashing

My first cache, daughter said I just had to try it. Fun!

Today I was on a multi-purpose mission to Marlborough. Firstly, I wanted to find enough caches to collect the Ancient Wonders of the World and secondly, just have a good time driving around the region finding as many of the caches that have popped up since my last visit as I can before I ran out of puff. Managed to park right next to GZ. Found cache as per the hint. TFTC, Biggles.

A nice quick find thanks, once I concentrated on the correct spot!

Found as we cruised around Picton and Blenheim and Renwick. A nice day for cruising it was too, with some quiet valleys and some busy roads.

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Found with StreetWalkerNZ on day 2 of our 4 day weekend in Blenheim. We are planning on a walk in the Wither Hills, but time for a few drive bys en route to the car park.
It wasn't until we approached GZ that I realised the meaning of the cache name ,despite having found a few similar. Probably found the one in Chch too. A quick find, easy with car park all quiet at this time on a Saturday morning. Nicely colour co-ordinated too. TFTC.

#18545. Title made sense once we got to GZ. Quick find by Troodles. TFTC.

Feeling the need for a local geocache today, I made a slight detour on my way to work to get this one, and ultimately one other. I parked right up to it, and discovered 7.30am or so is a good time to get this one. Not much activity around so a quick feel around and the cache was found, signed and replaced, of course. Hasn’t seen a lot of visitors, good to tick this one off. Just one more of those wonder of the world thingys to find now. Unless there is a sting in the tail to that exercise... TFTC Kiwimykl.

Apparently I like calendar projects. Each time one is finished I say "YAY!! Now I can go caching when I want, and not when my pocket computer tells me I have to." And then I start up another calendar project. I now have three running, but two are very long term ones. Like this one - get the 366 Addon Badgelet thingy for non-container caches. And this is the only non-container cache within cooee, so any other midweek dates will be some long time off.
Anyway, I arrived here on the way to work, spent a while searching all over, or more correctly, searching all over minus two places. Eventually looked at the hint and re-concentrated on that and eventually eventually realised I had missed a place, which of course is where the cache was. As I had also seen the CO's last log, when I opened this cache and saw an FTF and a couple of entries I though I had found the old cache, but no, it was just those few, must be a recycled log. I had another feel for the old cache, and even went to the other end and checked there, but no luck.
The CO mentions that this was inspired from a cache in Christchurch. I was in Christchurch over the weekend and saw a cache on the map there with a similar name. As I had already checked out this cache I knew where that one would be, but it was on the wrong end of town. Claiming that is a job for a later trip.
Yay! Another non-container date ticked off! Only another 68 to go... Sigh.

Boys day out with Mr Marchwood, took a load of rubbish, solve the worlds problems, have a picnic some where nice in stunning spring weather and tag a few geocaches just because....\
Get the title....oh ...yeah
All good fun.

Today bumandworker and I had an opportunity to make a Raid on the East.
Good weather you have here. Much warmer than in Nelson today.

He who does not "get" cryptic crossword puzzles new straight away what the cache description meant. Then he had to explain it to me - doh. The penny dropped.
Two grey haired old gits searching GZ must have looked weird to all the passers by but I guess that we must look harmless enough!!
Cache found, signed and replaced.
TFTC

Cache replaced. Unfortunately, due to cache creep and the CO's fat fingers, I could not retrieve the original. If you find the cache with the full log and manage to retrieve it, look for the new one and replace both together, (where the new one is). Then let the CO know.

Found it cool find

This was a quick one

This cache is now full so will need replacing for the future cachers

I hadn't even thought about the cache name until someone in the car used a word that immediately led to that aha moment. Good one . I thought I knew exactly where this cache would be and tried to make it harder than it was. - - - I was starting to think "where next" when the notification came in that the cache had been found . Thanks for the tricky hide. Hang on the not tricky hide. Oh, I don't know. Thanks anyway .

Had the ah-ha moment as we were driving up Alabama Road. Very good! We were busy searching where we thought it was likely to be when we spied it somewhere else. TFTC # 15,669

We had found the caches mentioned in the listing so Mrs SoBad was initally surprised to see where the driver parked. She had been mainly using the phone for caching and had had to restart the app here. So by the time she did the 6 5 4 3 2 1 towards the cache, it had been found by the rest of the SIS. Again the log was signed as such.
Thanks.
