The TRAINS coming (christchurch) Bridgend, South Island, New Zealand
By Brodiewill on 22-Mar-20. Waypoint GC8N5TK

Keeps getting lots with raising rivers

That's a few DNFs now. Any chance of a CO check?

Didn’t find

Didn’t find it but is this the cable tie you used?

Adding my DNF to the list.

Didn’t see it,
Will come back

No luck here but not for lack of try ing. Even came with previous finder but not meant to be.

Almost grabbed hold of the cache accidentally to hoist myself up to search for the cache; TFTC

A nice new stretch of road here, we snuck past the fences to get to this cache. A quick find once at GZ. TFTC!

Out grabbing a few caches over the long weekend

An easy find. The road is being repaired at the moment so only visit out of hours!

Nice cache

I use to be good at clamboring over them big pieces of mother nature.... TFTC

TFTC on a mish with bairdfmly

Great day out with Boyd. TFTC

Lots of people swimming in the river today, it was so tempting I wanted to join them. Didnt take long to find it then I was back in the car with air con full blast. Thanks Brodiewill

Surprisingly no one around so soon had the log signed. Cool hide.

I spent quite a while down way to low before something caught my eye - really? A quick clamber and yes, it was! Cheers

Walked over from Whites crossing.
The title is misleading but I guess it's a point that you have to read past it and see what's in the description

Other than that it was a quick find.

Kia ora! Paldies!
TFTC, Brodiewill!

Check on cache today, looking all good.

Off on a weeks break to picton/blenheim/havelock and nelson with kjr..
Plan A was to do the queen Charlotte track but with recent rain that has been closed so a road trip was plan B...
First stop along the route to pick up a puzzle nearby and grab this on our way past ..nice easy find...

Heading on a geo adventure with BCD to the top of the South Island...Picton, Blenheim, Havelock and Nelson.

Day 1
Quick detour here on our way up, a bit of a walk and a nice quick find TFTC

Found it, unsure if there was also someone else here looking at the same time. Quick find while they were out of sight

After some nearby work, scrambled to make the find. Was lucky not to fall after startling some pigeons. Thanks for the effort that goes into placing and maintaining a cache.

Nice easy find. Tftc

Warfi did the scrambling for this one. Thanks for the hide.

Yes a bit of a scramble, and very dusty, but we got there. Tftc

Small scramble, quick find. Thanks.

New Year’s Eve caching. Thanks for the hide.

Out for a walk on a cool sunny morning. A short dusty scramble and the log was signed. TFTC

Did the finding with Lytteltonwitch. All safe and dry here. TFTC

Found the cache

Needed to preferrably find 2 caches today, however hadn't been feeling well, and was definitely not up to driving, and not up to walking very far either. So mum came over, and drove me & little miss 4 to some caches - yay!
Going with a previous finder def made it quicker & easier!!
TFTC!!

As the GPS seemed to put us between the bridges, we had to decide which one. We first tried the one that seemed most logical, but no. OK, the other one... And there it was indeed quickly found. TFTC!

Great hide! TFTC!

I was pleased I was still in my gym gear! Spotted the likely location, and then it was a matter of getting to it... TFTC!

That was handy - I thought I'd just completed the Ancient Wonders for the new promotion down the road a bit so was able to grab this as a close Modern Wonder. Unfortunately it turned out the two I just did both had the same passport stamp in them. Blast! *Still* looking for Taj Mahal!

Find number 4269

A nice quick find thanks. Walked back to gz and spotted easily from the road.

A lovely afternoon drive to Oxford for a pie with Ms_KR. Pity they ran out of pies!!

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

I needed to find 2caches today, in my personal challenge, to bring my finds total for the 30th July up to 26 and thus into a deeper shade of green on GC's Statistic Daily Finds Calendar.

My nearest two unfounds were not too far from home but I knew one of them could possibly involve a clamber over rocks - something to be avoided when wearing steel clad cycling shoes - so I made the quick drive to the general location in the cachemobile.. This wasn't as quick a find as the first as my gps was insistant the cache was some 12m away from the published coords. I eventually spotted something that needed to be investigated and was certainly glad not to be wearing my cycling shoes. TFTC BW.

Was passing by so grabbed the cache. Quick find.

No train today but plenty of cars and things. This was a quick find today as the sun started to shine. TFTH

No trains today, just a lovely rock climb!

Found with StreetWalkerNZ on a lunch time excursion on a pleasant winters day to this part of town to find five caches for a challenge we have set ourselves.
Another location we haven't been to for a while. SW did the climb and soon located the cache. Think it should be pretty safe there . TFTC.

#18228. Troodles alerted me to the terrain rating and soon after I spotted the cache (nicely secured). Didn't take long to reach the cache and sign the log. TFTC.

Jude and I are out for the afternoon caching in the Waimakariri area Thanks Brodiewill for creating this hide. It was find 8532 for me. Jude found this one, I was looking on the wrong side.

======== NZ Mega 2021 ========
Planning for the NZ Mega 2021 event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, October 2021

Out with Nosynel. Stopped right under the bridge at 0m but realised after reading logs that a quick climb was required. No need for a tool as flicked it out of the hide easily. Thanks, brodiewill.

It just shows that we shouldn't try to get too many clues from the description, and we began to look in all the wrong places. Finally re read the logs and managed to zero in. Found the log extraction very hard and had to use our trusty dentist's tool. Last time we were here caching was just after the Mega of 2015. Cache was only a few metres away from this one. Quite proud of our effort for a couple of oldies. Thank you BW.

In the area(ish) this morning so stopped by for a quick find and sign. Thanks.

Quick find. TFTC.

An easy find once we had sorted out which direction to go. TFTC

We had to wait untill two Muggles had passed by,then it was a quick find.TFTC

Quick find.

Enjoyed a walk around the area. I spotted the cache and daughter scrambled up and signed the log. TFTC.

Published

I was busy earlier when this was published but it was still unlogged as I was heading home so I thought it was worth a shot. It was getting dark but I was still able to spot the cache easily enough. Pleased to see a blank log book for a {FTF}, Tftc!
