OVER THE POLE (North to South) Southern England, United Kingdom
By Birders on 27-Feb-05. Waypoint GCMYD6

Yeah, found part 2 in NZ today. A chance look at forums on gps.org.nz, quick email exchange with DC, quick-ish (1hr +) dash to reach GZ at dawn, to be rewarded by a very easy find. Good fun! So yes, the cache is still safe in its hiding place &, as other logs have noted, IN the hint item. Glad to arrive outside working hours, coz hadn't come up with a good excuse for being there

Thanks heaps to DarenCollins for the kickstart on this little adventure & thanks for a very memorable cache.

Thanks to JBG for finding this part for us.
Cheers M+S [:O)] (1387)

Have being contacted by GrilyBudilly and have emailed fellow cacher the final co-ordinates that i have being holding for nearly a year, thanks for your response GrilyBudilly

Found in conjunction with GrilyBudilly for his effort in finding this cache. Forgot to log it after doing first part. Once again thank you GrilyBudilly.

Yes have found part 1. .......is there anyone in the UK who would like to team up to complete this cache hunting exercise. Email me for the co ordinates. Thanks . Great little spot TFTC

Well, that was an epic. Finally got the cache completed, pretty cool idea, thanks Rick.

Teamed up with dyedwestie - cheers!

Quick find using the “North to South†co-ordinates supplied by fraggle69 (UK). Many thanks for your help in completing this, our first international co-operative multi-cache. Signed the logbook in both our names.

We in turn found the final co-ordinates for the complimentary “South to North†cache. Details forwarded to fraggle69, good luck for the double.

Cheers from YuGeo4 in NZ.
TNLNSL, TFTC

My first Internatational co-operative geocaching adventure.
I picked up the coords before the team was assembled, so did a little bit of finger tapping. It wasn't too long before YuGeo4 pinged me an email, infact I think I had two offers in the same day. You guys are obviously a bit like busses, wait all day then three come along at once .
The clock is ticking only about 3 or 4 hours before I am in a field up to my neck in mud searching for the final of South to North.

Found the UK part of this multi cache in Finchamstead, and entered my details in the cache log. Have the co-ordinates of the second part in New Zealand and would like a Geocache Partner over the pole to contact me for the co-ordinates. It would be nice to pair this with GCMYWH too, which I'll put a note on as well. Drop me an email if you can help.

Logging this on behalf of the team QRANG UK and Tramper Ted NZ as we received a message from Rick-a-Mortis saying we could now log it. TFTC

Well you needed to be very mad to try this one today and QRANG2 is very mad and waded through the flooded path. Hiking boots useless, wellies useless - got wet way above the knees - needed a canoe really. Anyway got it - cache was above water just but damp then waded back to the car where QRANG1 had been dry and happily reading his Economist - wimp!. Will look for a friendly NZ buddy to complete this with soon

NZ end found using co-ords from the UK end supplied by annieanniemul. What a neat idea for a multi, partnership is much appreciated thank you.
TNLN, log signed as ADV and annieanniemul.

My partner from New Zealand has just e-mailed me to say that he found the cache on 3rd June - success! A new partnership has begun - annieanniemul/ADV. Now I hope to be able to complete 'Over the Pole: South to North' as ADV has done the first part.

Found the South part of this one this afternoon/evening with my friend Lizaburt. The cache was hidden very naturally and we hope we've managed to re-hide it as well.
I hope to be able to find a partner in New Zealand who will help me to complete this cache and maybe the South -North cache too! Have found a partner from N.Z. - thanks for responding so quickly.

A nice pleasant walk on a bank holiday afternoon in the sunshine following a big downpour today. This is the 7th cache today with Annieanniemul. Found the UK part of this multi cache in Finchamstead, and entered my details in the cache log. Have the co-ordinates of the second part in New Zealand and would like a Geocache Partner over the pole to contact me for the co-ordinates. It would be nice to pair this with GCMYWH too, which I'll put a note on as well. Drop me an email if you can help.

We can only apologise profusely for the state of the UK micro. We have been on a very prolonged holiday close to the "other end" of this multi. The cache was replaced with a new container and log sheet on the morning of 18th April.

Found the south end of this one with the help of Malpas Wanderer. Will have more time next trip to have a walk in the animal park.
Thanks Malpas Wanderer
cache 102 0f 102 for the trip

Both North to South and South to North have been found by the lone scotsman and Malpas Wanderer partnership.

Nice to experience the inter country experience, Thanks Birders and Rick-a-mortis for setting up these caches, most enjoyable.

Found Part 1 today and will look for a partner soon.

This micro is in need of maintenance the log sheet is completely saturated.
Luckily I always use an ink tank pen which writes on wet paper but future visitors may not be so fortunate!

At last we can log this!! We've been on the trail since June last year when the nettles were high and the midgies were out for blood. Thanks to Ksenia for helping to complete this cache hunt. Hope they had as much fun with their part as we did with ours. Thanks to Birders and Rick-a-Mortis for running an interesting and challenging geocache.

Found this Christmas Eve, right after dinner. Didn't pay enough attention and went on quite a hunt in the wrong place, but it was a nice walk. Eventually came to the right place and after some digging with Mr K playing watch dog, easily retrieved the treasure. Thanks to Cache Traders for initiating this hunt and helping us solve it both ways!

Been a while since we found it (logging it a bit late), but SL, and I believe the trade was:

- pig keychain
+ rooster fridge magnet

Found thanks to Kiwi cacher Retti, not a bad combination Kiwi & pomm sounds like an exotic cocktail. Signed log with both names (see photo's) off now to give Westie a bath.

Will wait for Retti before I log the NZ part of the cache thanks to cache traders & douglasf for getting the two of us together. TN LN SL TFTC Westie Walker & Retti

Yay Westie Walker came to my rescue and finished this cache which I started way back in August when I found South to North with GenCuster.
Not sure how to break the news though as the cocktail has more of an aussie t(w)ang...not quite so exoctic but now has one heck of a kick

Found on Saturday partnered with Steam Hammer in the UK...
TB Kiwi Cacher Twin #1 jumped into the cache, thinking he could get a head start on his race around the world against TB Kiwi Cacher Twin #2 - only to be quickly retrieve - WHAT A CHEAT!

Loved the item relating to the hint - appears to not be functioning.... too many spiders.

Thanks for the fun on this cache.

Found on Saturday partnered with ArnoldTheKillerSheep in the UK... Interesting spot – much easier to find when starting from the correct road!

Southern end has now been found by our partners Beauty & The Beast. Thanks very much for the collaboration. It is fun to join in with distant geocachers. Thanks to Rick-a-mortis for setting this interesting cache
L&M

Very interesting final cache location! We partnered with Liz-n-Mike in the UK to find this one, thanks for your patience guys, it has taken us nearly a year to get back to Tauranga to finish it off! Phew! Thanks so much for such a cool idea!

Glad to put this to bed having found the first part a year ago. Found with the help of plipey.
Cheers, M@

Found in conjuction with DTJM, on the second attempt. Arrived yesterday to find three people working very close to the gz, so back again this morning for an easy retreive.
-lizard, +goose, TFTC Birders and Rick-a-mortis, a great concept.

What are great idea for a cache. Thanks to Subarite who was my UK partner. I had a bit of a struggle with the NZ end but met a couple of interesting characters on the way. Thanks also to Birders and Rick-a-Mortis for getting it off the ground

Can log this one thanks to the help of Cryptik Souls Crew in the UK who passed on the NZ cache co-ords...

A great multicache idea and was enjoyable doing, both of the NZ caches were easy to find...

swapped nil
Thanks
