Out for quick stroll in the sun over lunch breakSolved a while ago but only getting around to it today.TFTC

HS and I just love these little libraries as we are both avid readers. Unfortunately, I never looked at the books as my case was on the limit weight wise, and I couldn't afford to add to my luggage. I love the art work on each library. Thanks for setting up this bonus cache.

I love these little libaries and it is with difficulty i dont take a book each time !Today we decided to take a journey out to Mosgeil and walk along the Silver stream walk way and then do the Labs and trads and some other multis in the area . We had a successful day on the hole and the highlight being invited into the C O's house for a cup of tea etc many thanks for that we took nothing and left nothing here at any of these caches in this area . thank you for these caches and the maintenance of them .

Well today Im the walking wounded after my accident at a D/T cache Sunday night. Ended up with right arm in plaster and black eye. Doctor has allowed me to fly home so hopefully do a few local Mosgiel caches and Ad Labs as I feel quite sore. Thanks to COs for all caches I will be back to finish off one day Update. Now Im logging after event I apologise for generic logs as on Sunday I had an accident and now have arm in plaster and heaps of bruising. Now both eyes

After completing this nice easy Ad Lab, this bonus was nice and easy and fun to do.Log all good and signed here. TFTC.

Last morning finding a few last caches in our old hometown, at last the sun has returned but alas the rain has caused some major mud! Now to try and get the rental car tyres looking less caked in mud & gravel after an early morning "adventure" TFTC.

Day 4 on my Geo Toroa Mega trip. A slower day today after Kiwicampnut had an argument with a bank and a road yesterday. There is great art on these Mosgeil lilliput libraries. Loved hearing the story of the caravans when chatting at one waypoints. Thanks for the cache debsnz# 4060 28 October 2024 2:30 pm

Having had a busy geocaching weekend in Dunedin, at the MEGA, matagouri and I are now continuing on with our holiday 'road trip'.After a delightful tiki tour of the area checking out some little libraries, we headed for the bonus cache. A muggle working on a roof near by must have wondered why this area was so popular today.Thanks for setting it up

In Mosgiel with rattll following GeoToroa Dunedin. After completing the adlab tour of little libraries, we extracted coordinates, and came along to GZ. No problem finding. All well in the container. Signed, and returned as found. Tftc!

After a drive around the town looking at the very cute libraries finished the circuit back at the cache. Nice work on the final, cheers

Down for the MEGA with Supernannny and Net61 collecting some caches on the way. We enjoyed driving to the various waypoints and seeing some of the cute little hook libraries on a cold and wet day. After visiting all the waypoints, we stopped for lunch at a cafe in Mosgiel and worked out the bonus location. After lunch we planned to find this bonus cache, but changed our minds to go for a multi FTF in Mosgeil. After the FRF adrenaline had settled down, we drove to this bonus gz. Thank you for a mini tour of Mosgeil showing us these libraries. A great themed final cache for this ad lab bonus

We had no trouble doing the Ad Lab, even guessing a few answers without getting out of the car. The final was also an easy find. TFTC.

After completing the aeroplane series it was time to branch out and find some others 'on the way' into Dunedin. This was such a cool little adventure lab and then an awesomely themed final - deserves a fav point. Thanks for the cache. Signed as Team SEAC (South East Auckland Crew)

We are in Dunedin this weekend for the Mega with Stik-a-Crane, UncleSam, KeyLev, and NZTravellers. We have signed all logs as team SEAC to save space, especially as we know this weekend will be busy for all caches. We have landed, picked up the cars and the plane geoart and any other trads, multis, or puzzles we have solved are the targets for the day. We have had an amazing time and had very few DNF's for a very successful day with lots of laughs and memories made.A nice quick find after completing the ad lab. Loved all the little libraries around town

Another fun find today while out with Agazo and Marchwood, TFTC

After completing the AL and gathering the info for the final co-ordinates it was off to Gz where the cache was found. TFTC. Giving a FP

Attending the Dunedin Mega this weekend. Out caching today with Agazo and AlunB. Signed logs as AMA.After finding all the aeroplane caches we headed into Mosgiel to find the Lilliput AdLabs TFTC

Arrived today from the Northern Island to attend Geo Toroa (Mega), as a group consisting of myself, HeMaLuDy, UncleSamNZ, keylev, NZ Travellers, and of course it would be rude to not locate caches as we left the airport heading into our accommodation in Dunedin.Signed in as SEAC to save logbook space and on our way to the next hide.TFTC.

Team SEAC consisting of HeMaLuDy, Stik-a-crane, UncleSam, Keylev and ourselves headed to Dunedin for the 2024 MEGA!All logs were signed as SEAC to save paper (except where specific signing requirements were requested)Thanks to all the CO's who had maintained the caches as we found a majority with fresh paper and containers!Cool hide with theme of the lab cache!Fav point added.TFTC

Here for a fun weekend with friends from Auckland to attend the 2024 Mega. All logs signed SEAC as a group. Very sorry for the generic plain logs. Thanks to all cache owners for placing the caches.

Down in Dunedin for the Mega event. Travelling with Davidsonclan and McJandals. Really fun to be out and about with the team and catching up with other cachers friends m everywhere. Thanks to all the organisers and all the COs for some great caches. It is certainly a lovely area of New Zealand TFTC . Enjoyed the Adlab. Thanks for the bonus

Down in Dunedin for the Mega this weekend with McJandals and NZFLOSSY. Signed the log sheet MDF Thanks for the cache.

Down here for the Dunedin Geo Toroa Event from the sunny Bay of Plenty,Tauranga and are with some of Team BoP. Great to get together with our fellow cachers. Signed Logs MDF. (McJandals,Davidson clan & NZ Flossy)I am logging using the Cachly App and using their template option which helps with my memory for logging. I genuinely thank every CO for their time and effort put into these caches. Much appreciated.

Good quick find here good Adventure lab thank you

I am in Dunedin early to attend the Mega next weekend so naturally Im after caches in the meantime. After completing the tour of five of the highly decorated libraries all that remained was to locate this bonus cache. Mission accomplished. This cache was found in good condition. Thank you for placing it and maintaining it for our enjoyment.

Found - Mrs McMike2012 & I live full-time in our caravan travelling around NZ, visiting the places we want to visit & doing the things we want to do and fitting in a bit of Geocaching here & there were staying near Mosgiel for a the long weekend, so we can attend the Geo Toroa Event as we had a spare day today we thought wed do some caching we had completed this Ad Lab yesterday & had this Ad Lab Bonus down to do first up this morning turned out to be an easy find were also pleased to add another 'smiley face' to the tally TFTC ... TN:LN:LS this was #6,306 for us!

Good hiding place. Thanks for the cache!

I love these little libraries, and did not even realise how many there were in Mosgiel! Thank you for taking me around, and a very appropriately placed final. TFTC!!

Watched the little woman work this one out. Didn't need the Lab app. Picked up a SAS book whilst over in suburbia, that should be fun. TFTC

Armchaired the final. Cleaning out an area of my largest saturation area from the residence and final wasn't terribly too far away. Rocked up to the GZ and found the small cache. The smaller logbook was signed and returned to the stacks where it was hidden behind the bodice rippers and drama. Once upon a time a local reviewer would not allow caches to be hidden like this. Now there is a few of them. How times have changed. TFTC

I did the Adventure Lab last night. Stopped off to find this Bonus cache on my way back to my Motel this evening. TFTC

Thank you for this adventure lab - been slowly completing when I remember and have chance for an evening roam Perfectly themed TFTC

I really enjoyed the AL and the great art work. Its a great idea and there are come of these back home. The final is cool and the swag is books so one of the only ones I have completed where you could say there is swag at each point on an AL very cool. A favourite point from me. TFTH

#23353. It's amazing how many of these libraries there are. We enjoyed exploring Mosgiel looking for them (had a coffee break part way through). The cache was nicely constructed. TFTC.

Found with StreetWalkerNZ on a slight detour as we travel from Dunedin to Invercargill.We always take the scenic route, so a whistle stop tour of Mosgiel's Lilliput libraries was first on the list today. I loved the brightly coloured libraries, as well as the concept behind it. We weren't surprised to see how the final was hidden and the cache was a quick find. All in all, an enjoyable lab and bonus. TFTC.

Completed the AL a few weeks ago, and grabbed the final one today. I like these types of caches, I don't feel suspicious loitering outside someone's house! The cache itself was great, a very cool idea!

I've spent a few hours working at the Mosgiel library for the second day in a row but now it is time for a bit of caching before my next hui. These wee libraries are very cute. What an excellent final - worth a favourite thanks debsnz. TFTC and the tour #20,478

Finally completed the ad lab today. Got all the info for this one. Came up to corner & there are some road works going on down the street so couldnt drive to it. Looked again gosh its only 150 metres down road. Parked up & walked down. The neighbour was out mowing his lawns & didnt seem too worried about what I was doing. It helped that I found a book that Im going to read. Signed log grabbed the book & headed back to car. TFTP

Nice day to come to Mosgiel and do a few caches this way. Did a full circle here and last one for the day. My 2999 cache!!! TFTC debsnz

Full log to come

A few days away caching with Nosynel. An after dinner sortie to do this ad lab and a few presolved puzzles. Really enjoyed this adventure lab. Thanks for creating it plus the bonus. Am out of FPs but will give one when I get my next one.#9829

Thanks for hiding this cache debsnz I appreciate it. ?????? We had dinner at the motel ??????? before heading out. ( Jude_E and I arrived in Mosgiel just before 6pm).We didn't want to find many. I think ?? we found 4 actual hides and your lab. It was a very enjoyable ?? people have put such effort into decorating the boxes. Hairy Maclary was my favourite. I will award this a favourite point when I get one.

What a fab visit of the lovely wee libraries around Mosgiel! I had no books to add but moved a few books around to other libraries in the area. Final find a cool hide tft adlab debs..fave-ing

With very little geocaching done this year, it was nice to have a barmy winter Sunday to get out and walk the dog around our local area. Toured four of the libraries on foot, returned home for lunch and then off on the bike to the final library to get the last clue for this bonus. Had a delightful discussion with one of the library owners.

TFTC

Find count: 2545

Great day out in a wet and cold Dunedin day. - Thanks Bitsprayer

We did the tour of the little libraries yesterday then popped into Mosgiel today to get the bonus cache at another lovely little library. TFTC

A cool find after a fun adventure lab cache. Well done debsnz.

No swaps today as I'm still reading Erma Bombeck. Thanks debsnz

A nice quick find, after a wee drive. Ms_KR couldn't find a book to swap! Last for the day. Thanks for placing your cache.

Ms_KR and I are heading to Invercargill for a tramping club 75th jubilee, so we left a bit early in hope that the weather would be fine, so we could get a bit of caching in. So far it has been good, fingers crossed for the rest of the time away.

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

Found with Sunflowers26 on a day out in the Mosgiel area, grabbing caches I had on my list for a while. I loved this Adventure Lab. The only bit that Sunflowers didn't particularly enjoy was a stingy thingy that turned up near the last one and buzzed around for a while... but the libraries themselves were fascinating, as Lilliput Libraries often are. I thoroughly recommend this one. Cheers!

Very fun cache to find! Thanks.

After swapping some numbers in error we ended up at another library by accident. Recalculated, noticed my mistake and made the quick find. Thanks!

Another good end to the Ad Lab with Tokerau

No can we go home. Lovely idea these library's.

**#18,445**
Loved the Ad Lab and the chance to visit multiple Lilliput libraries, in fact it has got us wanting to make one and place it at our gateway, watch that space!
Fave for both this hide and also the Ad LAb!

We enjoyed the adv lab and needed a puzzle today, so we came and found you in a very appropriate place. A fav from us as we loved the whole experience thanks debsnz.

I went around the laboratory caches one by one and today I reached for the physical box.Greetings from the Czech Republic and Thanks For This Cache.
Díky za keš.

A nice wee 2.2km walk from home for the final after biking and walking to the WPs. Added some books to one of the libraries.
TFTC

We did the tour as pedestrians, so claim extra brownie points! Met debsnz's caravan-owning aunt and tried to explain the adlab app to her... a roundabout route to the dogs... coffee stop, op-shop, smileys then final. The non-cachers left us, since we'd done our 10K steps apparently, but the rest of us went past the greentop puzzle final, discovered a sweet roadside stall with a chatty owner, on to sheep and paws and eventually back to the library. A lot of fun on a fine autumn day!

The Tour de Lilliput was a great excuse fora group walk today. Each of the waypoints was duly admired, the contents examined, and replacement books added to at least one of them. And of course the final had to continue the theme. Great idea, Debsnz and thanks. Found with KatieW and Daywalk.

Wednesday walkers did the hard slog around onfoot to unravel the final,we had some interesting conversations along the way. Thanks for the fun.

Thanks for the adventure lab and a fun trip around Mosgiel, Up in Dunedin looking after the grandchildren while their mum and Dad have a holiday. Great chance to pick up some caches for challenges I am working on. This one filled a hole. Yah.

I had completed the lab caches a fortnight ago, so back to eign the final on a hot Mosgiel day.

Great tour. Found a nice book but already read it.

After having fun completing the AdLab I was a bit concerned with the coordinates I had for the final. And the hint seemed a bit weird. But then as I approached GZ it all became clear.
Greta place to hide a cache, and so fitting with the theme of the AdLab.

Picked up the coords for this while out on a few different bike rides and walks on our recent scorcher days. Clever hide at the final, TFTC

Completed the Ad Lab during evening cyclocache ride. Had a nice chat with the owner of the property at the final. Mosgiel seems to be well served with all these little libraries. Nice. Thanks for the interesting little tour around your town. Cheers.

Sorted the numbers they the adventure lab overa number of days and made my way to the final today. Easy find at Gz.
Thanks for the cache, debsnz

Found a few days ago. First adventure lab outing and really enjoyed it. Thanks

No problem finding the bonus cache today but we did have some problems with the adv lab at a couple of the sites. TFTC

All worked out perfectly. Thanks.

Completed this this afternoon on a scorching hot Mosgiel day. Arriving at the final co-ords and knowing what the hint was I assumed I knew what I was looking for. But no. Widened the search a little and thought we were on to something but it was a dead end. Arriving home I messaged the CO and soon had a response that a check had revealed that the final cache had gone missing and a replacement was now in place (and it was exactly what I had expected to find in the first place.) So back to the final and quickly in hand. TFTC.

Thanks for replacing the logbook, Debsnz. I still managed to get the FTF. Cheers.

Didn't find hint item.

Found with dad. TFTC.
