No such luck on this one unfortunately. Found a spot that matched the hint and co-ords but no one home. Sadly, that means no co-ords for Agent 86 either. Oh well, there is always next time. Thanks.

Made two unsuccessful searches for this in the same afternoon but unable to find. So I unfortunately did not get the second clue for Agent 86 either.

Well hidden, now off to 86. Although, unfortunately, not until next weekend. The kid took a whistle and put in another of those sodding construct a ducks.

A quick revisit to swap trackables

Re-visited to uplift co-ord for Agent 86. Dropped off Are you Scottish??? Geocoin CCY042

Cache all go again, new coords for agent 86.

off line till 86 is back in place

Another nice spot.

Nicely set up series of caches Actually nearly walked to this one from agent 99, got to within a few hundred metres and decided to wander back via "Ground to a halt" and "Scout's honor" to collect the car before doing this cache and the other nearby cache in the public gardens. Covered a few Kms on foot but is was a great afternoon for caching. Thanks Bitsprayer

214. Doing a run to Oamaru for the weekend, Cheers

Nice cache. Made the mistake of hiking from the bottom first and then realized I could have driven to a much nearer location. My son liked getting close to the sheep though

No swaps. TFTC

An easy find after reading the hint. My new 60cx had us looking in the shrubbery above at first. Grrr - so much for sensitivity! Will carry on with the series on our next visit.
Took Jet plane
Left Peg toy

great cache in great area,nice sunny afternoon

What a beautiful park! Great for an early morning walk before the travelling companions rise from thier slumber . .TNLNSL thanks

7:35am. Number two for the trip Dn-Chch. Been looking forward to doing this series for a while, off to find agent 99.

Last one for the weekend, will have to finish it next time we are up. We have loved Oamaru, on our very short stay, and the kids love the park in the gardens. We look forward to our return and still with plenty of caches to find too!!
TFTC,

Our second cache and now we can work the GPS! Lovely walk with the family in the gardens on a freezing cold day. Kids loved the ducks landing on the ice!

Last for the day, the sun had just dissapeared behind the hill and the temperature was decreasing rapidly. Have 1/2 of what I need to help max out.
TFTC, TNLNSL

Found this after a little bit of a search. Second find in the park. TNLN TFTC

Went for an early morning walk, it was pretty cold, but no one was around. TFTC

First Time I'd been this far up the Oamaru gardens.

Nice waterfall, and spectacular red foliage on two of the trees beside the pond. I think - Swamp Gums?

We had walked back to the van, before I realised I'd forgotten to take a photo of the area.

Oh well, it will be embedded in my mind for some time, I assure you.

Got the second set of Coords for the Agent86 cache location.

Cheers.

Great stuff , thanks.

New Cache all present and correct, an easr y find, even witout the paperwork. Now we know about the agent 86 thing we will get that on our next trip down that way.
Thanks,
S.T.

Cache has gone new one is in place, will see how it goes, might have to find a new spot for it.

Set out just before dusk (9pm) from the camp ground with thoughts of doing the Maxwell Smart trio but sadly got stuck on the very first one so no point looking for the other. Looks like someone got it recently so I was probably just looking around/under the wrong rock.

Fun Cache,
TFTC TNLN

A great garden. Thanks for the nice walk.

This one found by No.1 daughter, Toni. Turned out last one wasn't our last for the day.

Raced in, on a mission - no sign of Ludwig von Siegfried !

Picked up Something Fishy TB

Thanks Bitsprayer

No problem finding this cache, just had to wait for local teenagers to pass on. no exchange

Aha! found this one quite quickly - sadly with the hint, I was running late to meet up with my ride home, so no time to dawdle... A neat little spot, anyway!

TNLN, Thanks, Mike.

nice walk in the park bit hot in motor cycle gear

Early morning find while on a trip from the bottom of the south to the top of the north left TB "something fishy"

Beautiful location. The digger in the children's playground was lots of fun and the loos were very clean. The GPS sent us in the wrong direction at first, but we got ourselves nice and sorted out with the help of the hints. TNLN.

Found it at 08.00 hrs. Nice park early in the morning-nice walks.
Out: Raindeer
In: Blue car
Thanks.

Never been this far into this location before. Had to use the clues for this. Nice hiding place. Number six of eight caches for the evening. TNLN. Got the first half of the co-ordinates for Agent 86.

Agent 86 will be contacted tomorrow!

well hidden and a beaut stroll through the park. I actually found this one
Ciao ElCapo and EEE

I wondered about any significance of the name- but when I finally got there, I only had to look at my track log to work out why! This is very difficult to get to if you don't know the local geography. I first looked down the bank over the railway tracks, and decided - no - not that way.
Then I looked at the holiday park, and thought no - not through there. Then I went back down the road a bit, walked a bit, and came to an interesting stream crossing!
All in all a good challenge - and yet another great Bitsprayer spot to top it off. TNLN - thanks again.

Came down for the day to do some Geocaching and swimming. A lovely day for a walk in the park with the family.

I can't remember this one, it's been some days between this visit and the internetcafe. Thanx anyway!

Two hits on the one cache same day, must have been after us
Very wet in the gardens, but enjoyed the walk
took nothing
left tea light candle

Aha! Half way to finding Maxwell...although we missed Agent 99 this visit so another trip will have to be planned. Again, great wee spot and had to use the clue to find this one.
Thanks again Bitsprayer.
Cheers,

Lovely garden setting.
Found the cache reather quickly and seem to have noticed a pattern in Bitsprayer's cache setting methodology.

What a beautiful setting! Could have stayed all day.
No swaps, just took the co-ordinates for A86.
Thanks Bitsprayer

Came to Oamaru on a lovely day for some caching and this is number 6 cache. This was part of the Gardens I hadn't been to. Saw some eels in the ponds. They must have been hungry to have been feeding in the afternoon.
No swaps
Thanks for the cache
Mcroni

found it eventually

cheers

What a lovely afternoon to walk about. Another good spot.

Checked cache, all is well

Bitsprayer

Nice one! Raining, but then who cares. Beautiful garden spot. Walk from parking area to cache site was well worth it. Took pin, left shell soap. Many thanks

If only they'd used their cache for niceness instead of evil!
We used the cone of silence to sneak up on the cache, then interrogated it until it told us the information we needed to help Maxwell Smart.

Red Dog TB visited seeking Agent 86.

Snuck in and surreptitiously obtained the whereabouts of Agent 86 but got only half of what I needed. Damn. Snuck out.

Found it, maps help with the location.
Used the clue so as not to trample the gardens too much, because there were so many places it could be.
Need to check the East coords for Agent 86 they were trying to send us off the coast of Africa! Figured it out.
Still a good one BitSprayer.
