We cruised home picking up plastic boxes!Occaisionally signed MK+KR on cache logs, and apologies for the generic logs.Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches.

Several options here but quick find. Tftc

Not as easy as some !!

4.30pm. Just arrived for a couple of nights and five caches were close by. This was the first, a nice quick find.
Thank you. David.

We found it. Thanks

TFTC! Hard for my sprained ankle but a fun find

Before leaving Westport today I decided to go and try and sign off a few more on the Coastal Trail.

I had to do this one on the way back to the cachemobile as there was a muggle there. He had gone now so had the cache in hand.

Cheers for the cache, weenz.

Danke sagt Sven aus Dresden

The creek looked very dry this evening. Found on an evening stroll after dinner; TFTC

After a busy day up on the denniston plateau for work , thought I'd head out and tick off a few more caches...
Quick find before carrying on along the trail.. another hot afternoon on the coast..

We both had a poke around here, but no luck.

cheers and thanks,
S.t.

Heading on a wee family summers holiday.
Reefton done, now time for a few nights in Carters Beach.
Morning run with MrsTG before it got too hot and before our planned trip up to the Oparara arches. Quick find and sign here. Thanks.

I'm sure we found a cache here years ago when this area was relatively new. Today's find was quicker than that one. tftc

Great birthday find. Thank you for the cache

Great day for a bike ride TFTC!

Found 13.10.22

Dad found it again !!

We came to Westport area for the long weekend with the hope of finding all the caches along this trail and a few more. We woke to such a calm sunny morning it was just stunning. The further we got along this trail the windier it got - and the wind just kept increasing - I wish I had taken a hat with me. Really enjoying the track, what an asset for Westport.
I had been to look for this one a couple of years ago - but it was missing - so back today to turn that blue blip on our map into a nice yellow smiley

This was a nice quick find as per the hint - there were a few muggles around this morning so we wanted to be as quick as we could at each stop.
Thanks for placing this cache and thank you for the smiley

Nice residential area and great place to put the cx. TFTC.

Found once a muggle moved away. Enjoying the bike ride in the area

Quick find while biking thank you. Sea is dramatic today!

Found with Kiwimykl on the first day of our four day West Coast adventure. We had previously redone the Kawatiri Trail from Westport to Carters Beach due to someone placing more caches on it two days after we last cleared it... you know who you are. After that we did the caches on the Omau to the Cape section. As we are staying at Carters Beach Top 10, we thought we would do the new ones closer to there after we checked in later in the day, and that is now. So after checking in to our accommodation, we once again hopped on our MTBs and headed off. This was the second cache on this section of the trail and we were a bit conscious of being viewed by muggles in the nearby residences. However it was another QEF PnG by Kiwimykl thanks to a good hint and accurate coordinates.

Last August we had booked a package deal offered by West Coast Tourism, where for $299 per person we could stay for one night in Hokitika and get access to the Tree Top Walk, then spend another night in Franz Josef and get access to the Wilderness Centre and a helicopter flight over the glacier. We did the Hokitika part of the package on the 17th of August and that night the PM put us into Covid-19 (Delta) Level 4 Lockdown. We decided to take the week between Easter and ANZAC weekends off and do the second part of the package. It also gave us the opportunity to get out of the district to get the required points for the Signal's Labyrinth series of souvenirs.

Found with NZDi, full log later.

Off on another bike ride to complete more of this great Westport coastal trail. Nicely hidden cache. TFTC

Decided to cycle a bit more of this lovely track and grab the caches along the way. Missed this one on the way out so got on my return. A nice quick find. Thanks for placing this cache.

Quick find on our south road trip. TFTC

Find number 2 on our walk, thanks.

This one was MIA when I visited three and a half months ago. Nice quick find today - it always feels good to turn a sad blue face into a happy yellow smiling one thanks weenz. TFTC # 18,124

Found on this beautiful morning great hide Thank you for the cache

New cache back now in the cabbage patch

add me to the list

found a lovely wee place that would be great for a cache but it was empty, or maybe I wasn't looking in the right place. Either way, hopefully it will be findable when we next come to the area

No luck for us here even with tip from a previous finder.

No luck here despite a tip from a previous finder which indicated we were looking in the right place.

Today my plan is to cache around the Westport area. Weather not that great but I've got my raincoat so it OK - not too cold anyway. After completing the Cape Foulwind walkway, I found a few more caches. Another nice walk, where I got a bit more wet. I parked in the car park and wandered along the track to find the caches. TFTC, Biggles.

Over home for some school holiday adventures. This was day two's big walk, started at home and got to the end of Elley Drive 2.5k total there and back. Awesome series on awesome track, can't wait to do it all in a go. We actually found two containers here, with two cries of "Found it" simultaneously? Put both back in one obvious spot.

Starting to master the e bike now, cache all good. TFTC

Had a great day on the E-bike, caching on the Westport cycle trails, 39km 6hrs and 44 caches, trails in great order. - Many Thanks Bitsprayer

Reasonably quick find but some difficulty extracting from hidey hole. TFTC

Hitting town for the weekend. Parked up. Had lunch and then hopped on the bikes.
{FTF}. Quite a nice surprise. Extraction was a challenge. My mini pliers weren’t good enough but a nearby stock became my friend.
