Jeez, some steep streets around this town and the way up here was one of them. A quick dash up the hill and got the cache. TNLN Thanks.

Took what turned out to be a hard way, but a quick find and fast trip back to the car. TFTC.

Nothing like sending your wife to pointlessly crawl under branches though dirt. I found it elsewhere. The monkey (2 year old) was straight into it, making off with a spinning top, and leaving some crazy make a duck thing. Good fun.
This was our first find in town, we were heading through for Christmas down south and decided to stop for a few caches. The day is turning out great for caching now the morning rain has cleared. On approaching GZ found a heap of either crude bivvies or dig outs, looks like the locals have been playing war games up here. Thanks for the Xmas eve fun. TNLNSL
Easy find, though I had to go back after returning from my car. A tree branch had snagged my GPS lanyard and pulled it right out of my pocket without me realizing it. It was hanging from the tree when I got back. Glad it wasn't far from the road!
No swaps, TFTC.

8:25am. Number 3 for Dn-Chch trip. Part two of the series done - managed to startle a few sheep over the fence - off to find Maxwell himself now.
Went looking for this one after finding KAOS, bit of a hike up the hill, but fantastic views from the top.
The Lady and I, along with our ever-present Corgi Pippi, spent a lovely afternoon in Oamaru, to catch a few caches.
We ended up finding 5, out of attempting 6.
We found the complete Maxwell Smart Trilogy, in the end.
TNLN.
Cheers.

This one took a bit of finding as we didnt have any paperwork, but we got there in the end.
another part of the world we would never have found without geocaching
Thank you

Ahh, an easy find - had to get the final co-ords for Agent 86 to knock that one off the list too. A good little stroll through the bush for this one.
TNLN, Thanks, Mike.

Wet and miserable day to be traipsing around the bush. Had the company of a very friendly pair of fantails. Would have been great views if we weren't shrouded in cloud. Still a great cache series. TNLN.
We probably took the difficult route to this but never mind. Had to use the hints again. Another good hiding spot. TNLN. Now have the second half of the Agent 86 clues. The light is fading. Can we do it? Number seven for the evening.
NICE VIEW AND CLIMB, a bit of a stray veering but came in on it ok
thanks ElCapo and EEE

Coords were quite a way off - we were 10m further south, so used the clue, and went straight there. Nice little patch of bush. TNLN - thanks.
Came down for the day to do some Geocaching and swimming. This was our first find for the day, and took a little finding.

Another place I never knew existed, although Matthew did, he had been here looking for insects for a school project.

Found this one fairly easily, as it followed Bit Sprayer's usual placement pattern.
No exchange.
Walked down to the Glen, cross country from here.

Took a while to find but loved the ingenious hiding place.
No swaps, just uplifted the co-ordinates for Agent 86.
Thanks

Not knowing the area I walked the long way into this one however I'm sure the exercise did me good. Came to Oamaru on a lovely day for some caching and this is number 7 cache.

Hold on, Max; we're on our way!
Papa Bear had passed this bushland once before (looking for a way to follow the arrow to Bitsprayer's house) and thought it looked like it needed a cache. And now it's got one!

FTF! Youngest found it, nice spot. Great day. Good spot to hide the cache. Needed to use clue, our GPS not super accurate.
Good stuff BitSprayer!
