A quick find at the obvious spot. TFTC. The logbook is a bit soft but still usable.

Upping the find count on the A2O

We started our beautiful journey through the South Island in Christchurch. Here we went on a big sightseeing tour and visited lots of caches. We then travelled via Lake Tapeko, Dansey Pass and Moeraki to Dunedin for the MEGA event. In Dunedin we visited the MEGA events and together with many other cachers we found many caches around Dunedin. A few days later, we travelled on through the Catlins to the southernmost part of Bluff. We then visited Te Anau and the tourist town of Queenstown. In Wanaka we went on another sightseeing tour until we reached the west coast via the Haast Pass. We hiked to Fox Glacier and Franz Josef Glacier.We continued along the west coast up to Westport, stopping at various sights along the way. Richmond and Nelson, the sunniest cities, were also on our list.A few days later we reached the east coast again in the wine region of Picton and Blenheim.After a few days, we travelled back to Christchurch via Kaikoura.We visited many geological sites, completed many adventure cahes and found many caches along the way.We travelled almost 3500 km and had so many great experiences.Many thanks to all the ownersTeam sissifalke

Out for a lovely whole day adventure. The weather was kind of coldish and kind of warmish, depending on the wind at a given time. Lots of fun, TFTC!!

Nice spot

Heading to Oamaru via the Lindis pass. Weather has turned so I keep saying last one...but it always gets the better of me! Quick find here after a very brisk walk TFTC

Nice walk to this one. Tftc

Day 3 - and 2nd leg of my A2O bike ride. Being a big ish 80km day a bit of planning has to be done. Caching is not usually on the agenda as I am normally a bit paranoid of running out of battery.I stopped about 3km short of the dam where hubby was parked up and put on the charger for just over an hour This next leg thru to Kurow I have a blustery tail wind so planning on stopping for a few caches along the way more as I get closer.Last 1 - now to find the caravan tftc

Awesome spot. I refreshed the plastic bag for you.

Nice easy find

Yay found it

Found on a bike ride with my wife.

Thanks for hiding this cache hill55 I appreciate it. Last time we were here magpies were dive bombing us. This hide was at the end of our 33km bike ride. We found 12 caches.

Log wet thanks for the find

Located several caches whilst ‘exploring’ the Kurow-Aviemore area today. A very quick find after having made hard work of locating another cache nearby. #6290. TFTC.

First find of the day

Easy to walk in & get this one. A few cyclists out today, enjoying the sun! TFTC

Day 6 on the A20 Ocean to Alps cycle trail from Otematata to Kurow (45km). A quick find here and we were back on our bikes heading to our accommodation TFTC

Been staying at friends in Haka so catching a few on my way out

Good humor.tftc

Found the container broken and log out in the open, pretty damp, but signable. Grabbed a spare container from the car - similar to a film canister. Placed log inside. As I wasn't sure of the original position the hint is still applicable. CO has been notified.

Quick find on a nice drive in the area. Enjoying the caches

Nice to be back on level ground after walking up the hill.

Nice sweet find while staying at the holiday park down the road. Cheers

Quick find. TFTC

My last find for the day and thankfully I am staying close by as I am feeling rather tired after walking that hill plus I drove down from Christchurch today

Now that is a rock
container is roll of film sized.

Today cycling the alps to ocean rail trail an awesome experience. With a few caches to provide the cherry on top. TFC

Thanks for hiding another cache along the cycle way

TFTC & Happy New Year

Day 3 of our A2O odyssey, cycling from Otematata to Kurow. Another short ride with up to 50 caches to find.

Thanks for putting this out for us to visit!

We enjoyed the drive / walk around!

I was out and about around Waimate and Timaru looking for some PWGT caches along with the new Natural Wonders of the World.

This was one with a Natural Wonder.

Cheers for the cache.

Found with StreetWalkerNZ on our Waitangi weekend to Kurow and environs. After checking into our accommodation in Kurow, and having a reviving cup of tea, followed by an even more reviving coffee , we decided to find a few local caches before dinner.
After finding "Over the Water Race", SW set off to look for this one while I was left to do the paperwork and re-hide the cache. By the time I caught up, he had already found the cache. TFTC.

#19284. Our parking place was between two trads. This was the second one we found, and was another quick find. TFTC.

Found this one as I commenced my cyclocache ride up the A2O from Kurow to the Aviemore Dam and back. Nice easy one to start the day. Thanks hill55.

I don’t recommend coming straight down off the tops unless you like scree TFTC

Easy find (after turning many rocks ( TFTC )

In town for a few days so making the most of the trails and walkways. First one for today, Christmas Day. Easy find here.

A nice quick find thanks. A combination of P&G walk and bike on the A2O today. I was buzzed a few times by a bl**dy magpie around here. Take care,

Ms_KR and I decided to have an extended Show Weekend break, and today we cruised home. Some walking, some biking... Another lovely day with plenty of little distractions to find.

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

The last of my first set of biking caches today. Helps if you come from the right direction here. TFTC.

Thanks for the cache

Hidden well

Nice short walk. - Thanks Bitsprayer

Stopped at a convenient park and short walk to GZ, Cache all good. TFTC

Main street was a bit quiet today as we drove along a lot of chimneys with smoke coming out of them - I don't know why as we were on fire.
Bitsprayer alighted from the vehicle at G. Z. and led the way.
Thanks
