Lovely evening walk Easy find

We stopped for a picnic here and decide to solve this puzzle. Beautiful place. TFTC

Nice to get another puzzle one under our belts. Beautiful place too!

Much nicer day today to be out gather a few more

2 for 3 today. Fun puzzle and nice views on a bit of a wet day in Mot.

Great day to be out with busy paws. Having fun and enjoying the walks and views. Thanks for the puzzle and cache Sidewaze.

Thanks for puzzle and taking us to the pleasant spot. Found with coconuts3 on a lovely day out caching.

Thanks for the challenge

Thanks for the puzzle and the find

Had solved this a few days ago so grabbed cache while out walking the dog. Thanks Sidewaz

Solved this puzzle back in Cambridge and found it on a trip home to see family.

We decided on a day trip to Motueka to find numerous caches which have been published since our last trip over there. After having to abort attempts to find several it reminded us why we usually make a Motueka caching trip in the evenings.
We had no problems finding this one in a muggle free zone and the log was soon signed.
Thank you Sidewaze.

New placements kept on accumulating and against better judgement we decided to finally make a Mot run. Not that we hate going to Mot, to the contrary. However, it being muggle central after hours is the preferred option. Most finds in Mot are "night caches" and helped greatly in achieving our DGSc. We have no complaints
Beyond (re)tying your shoe laces there's no reason to be at GZ sniffing around when a muggle appears. It didn't happen here but always crosses my mind at these kind of places. Thank you Sidewaze.

A couple of hours wandering around Motueka grabbing a few caches. Another in the series grabbed. Thanks for the puzzle and the cache.

Bit of a big day today, I have to do a drivetest on the Kaiteretere South vodafone site, then a highway drive between Motueka and the Spit. But I intend to grab a couple of minute caches for the South Island 300 minutes challenge.

First of the day, I solved this last night - this is actually going towards GC1BXCN. 6am, noone around, and managed a very quick find. Be nice views when the sun comes up!

TFTC Sidewaze, the cache was found in good order Signed, sealed and returned to GZ. 1 find(s) of 12 today, making this find #3866

Lovely puzzle. My first mystery cache. Tftc

Stopped here to do this puzzle cache. Once found the coordinates it was a fairly quick find.

I always enjoy caching in and around Motueka. This morning was no different, and with quite a few new Multis, A.L's, and Puzzles to look for it was quite a productive couple of hours. TFTC

found with kjj162. loving these puzzles and motueka tftc

Last one at the end of a busy day. Time to find a camping spot.

Solved it and found it after arriving to Motueka, tftc

Great jigsaw. I like this type of cache. Found it after our arrival to Motueka. Tftc

Located with Ricardinho

We spent a great day in Motueka checking out the Trewavas St art walk and calling into the Moutere Christmas market on the way home. In between was good weather, food and shopping, and a small number of caches for me.

A nice simple puzzle, and today was collection day. In between checking out dream catchers and bird feeders on the art walk, we took a slight detour for this cache. All good here, just had to wait for some doggos to depart before replacing. TFTC Sidewaze.

One of the last caches found as we head south. I didn't know about the saltwater baths, so interesting to read its history.
Cache was not an instant find, obviously fatigue is setting in , and it took a second look from SW to locate it. TFTC.

#21773. No sign of the cache on one side of the path; eventually spotted on the other. TFTC.

Found it

Solved these caches as they were published but time and weather has not been on our side lately. Today we headed out to collect up a few in the area. Nice easy find here. tftc

I don’t think I’ve ever been in a saltwater pool.

Although it wasn't that late, it was completely dark by the time I got here. Found the cache after a bit of feeling round without disturbing the couple having quite the conversation somewhere on the other side. Replaced and then got out of there as fast as I could. TFTC # 18,523

A nice quick find thanks.

Ms_KR and I are off on a wee road trip to Nelson. Today we cruised around Motueka, after the morning rain had stopped.

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

We had a slow start with rain, wordle, worldle and Healio.com word doc to keep us busy. By the time we got around to this, it was another brilliant day. Luckily none of the nearby residents were sitting outside so all was quiet. I've read Wim Hof but I'm not a cold water fan myself so we stayed dry and enjoyed the Bougainvillea. And the find. Tftc

A perfect morning for a drive to Motueka and back. I solved the puzzle a while ago and today found the cache in the second place I looked. After freeing Signal from the Forest Labyrinth, my attention turned to a couple of challenges that I don't yet qualify for. This find fills in a puzzle dot day and goes towards a challenge that I won't finish until next March (at the earliest). Thanks for the fun and TFTC, Biggles.

Found with no.13 on a sunny morning. Main muggles heading along beach walk but odd one coming thru here. Tftc

Found on this beautiful morning with Ulmuslynx. Our first cache for the day
Searched around and it wasn't long before we spotted the cache Thank you for the cache and the puzzle

Out collecting all the newly published caches with Agazo this morning. As Agazo got the ftf on this one, he stayed in the car to avoid and wet stuff falling out of the sky.
A quick find. Enjoying the jigsaw puzzles. Some nice photos. TFTC

Third find in Motueka as we did a circuit of the new jigsaw caches. This was an instant find and we used a nearby seat when filling in the log. Always nice to have a seat near a cache.
Thanks.

Solved soon after been listed. Enjoying the caches

I took the longer option to get to GZ, perfect time for a walk at sunset. TFTC Sidewaze

I saw this one when it came out and it was on my way to some other caches I planned to do today. Thankfully, the puzzle was not at all difficult, so I was out the door pronto.

At GZ, there were two choices and, of course, I found it on the second try. Nice blank log for the FTF. TFTC.

Has been almost 20 years since I swam here, when I first moved to the area. Good to read the history of the spot, and also revisit the final location which was perfect this day.
Thanks very much!

Tregearp and I saw that another two caches Sidewaze caches published this morning, and with a beautiful autumnal afternoon, decided to park the car at the Saltwater Baths and go for a walk to grab then both. A quick find at the GZ, but some less than courteous dog owner had left a canine deposit on the walk way which Tregearp stepped in just as I was making the find. Grrreat. Completed formalities - third to find. Thanks Sidewaze for the jigsaw and cache.

A bit of a late afternoon cache before we have takeaway tea for our wedding Anniversary thanks for the puzzle and the cache - log signed

Sat down with some time to spare so worked picking up a few of the local caches. Quickly got the co-ordinates and then headed out to grab the cache. Arrived at Gz and it wasn't at first spot i looked. Soon changed focaus and grabbed the cache for a quick sign and return TFTC

A nice wander with SJT_NZ after finishing a few chores at home, thanks Sidewaze for the cache, it's a regular walking or cycling trail for me during the week when working from home and agree it is well used and a nice addition to the community.
