Lake Lindsay (West Coast) Woodstock, South Island, New Zealand

Have decided to Archive this one.
Went and picked up cache remains.

Found container with actionman not much in it, needs urgent attention please.

Quite dissapointing because the container was completly empty? Everything had gone including the lid.
Needs checking.

Easy find, while balancing in a couched position in a careful attempt to avoid the prickles. Near got the car stuck parking on the other side of the road.

Log book as a little damp.

Thanks.

This was a very easy one. A fresh track in the high grass showed us where we had to look. TNLN. TFTC.

Thought this looked pretty straight forward until I arrived and saw the blackberrys. Nice area for a drive and full of lovely and interesting areas.
Thanks

Bit of a dodgy location with all that blackberry and the busy road, however the glimpse we got of the lake was interesting. TFTC

Managed to park the Cache mobile on GZ. Cool! The container was found moments after disembarking. The blackberry have not taken over enough yet. TNLN TFTC

Bit damp in there.

I drove up to the coords my GPS was aiming at - "what - where's the lake??" But I saw it as soon as I stood up!! Easy find, if you don't mind blackberry prickles. No swaps, thanks and cheers from Grandalf(1160)

Pouring with rain as Mr Explorer plodded down the road to grab this one - just avoided the black berries. TFTC.

No problems with this one. Quick and easy. Let Mr cope with the blckbery thorns. TNLN

Ouch!. B---dy blackberries! Now I’ve got a hydraulic leak.

Kiwi Moose turned up just as I was hunting for this, so we joined forces for the next three caches. Quick find, in an obvious and tracked location. Cheers Gav [1894]

I saw Rediguana walking along the road so joined him for the next three caches. An easy find with the obvious trail. TNLN Thanks.

Never saw the lake, but did see a well trodden path which was nice, looks like I wasn't the first to find it today

Out and about today looking for quick traditional caches in the very wet weather! Dampening our caching spirits.
Not so scenic day, cache found, plastic butterfly left within.

Never knew this lake was here either!! GPS lead us to the right spot. Cache had rolled away down toward the lake but PB valiently braved the prickles and rescued it while Annie acted as decoy and took pix of the lake. TNLN

great little find

Found it, and glad I found it now and not next time I visit NZ (not soon enough) as I suspect the blackberry bushes might mean this cache needs to be earned a little more in a couple of years time! Lots of rehab work of minin all down the west coast, this location has come up pretty well. TFTH.

Hmmm. Found it but can't remember this one... OH YES I DO! That's right. Truck drove past as I retrieved the cache.

Nice little spot.

TNLN.

No problem to find and hardly any traffic thankfully.

Parked on the newly worked area by the lake and wandered down the road for an easy find. Thanks.

This Cache was very exposed but a bit awkward to get at. We coverd it with a bit of debris from the Early Risers slashings.

Thanks,

S.T.

This cache was a bit awkward to get to since it was on a busy road with no place to pull over and no footpath. We took our machete and hacked back the thorny blackberry bushes, hopefully making it a bit more friendly for the next cacher. We notice no one has been here for over almost 4 months! Just down the road is the new fabulous, interesting, and entertaining Rimu Heritage Area. Be sure to see it. Another cache here one day, Moneydork?

Cache 12 on Honeymoon roadtrip.

Easy find - didn't think there was going to be a lake along here until we arrived there.

[Find #177]

first ones there for a while, was abit damp so we tried outr best to dire it out.

last one of the day. No swaps, easy find

Had to come out this way as the fuel card only works at BP so decided to pick up this cache. Nice and peaceful by the lake today. TNLN.

Nice easy one!! thanks Moneydork

Forgot to log this one at the time - so a tad belated. Easy find. TNLN

Great wee spot sitting by the cache apart from the you know what.

Easy Find

Nice easy find right next to the lake. Luckily I managed to avoid too many of the thorns. Thanks again. TNLN.

The 1st cache I've looked for. Pencil lead kept breaking when I tried to sharpen it so I'll call by and put a new pencil in the container.

Another bit of local history.
Thanks.
Took nothing, left lady bug.
Almost Christmas.
TNLN
Placed a SuMo Cyclist logo sticker on the inside of the cache lid.

Certainly is some blackberry here! TNLN

All I can say is 'Ouch!'
TNLN

Nice One!!!!!!!Nice drive out to this neat little lake. Correct about the Blackberry thorns. Those hidden dudes can sneek up on you. Easy find. Co-ordinates could not have been better. TNLN Thanks

CloudyPeak and Spotty found this one after checking out clues to another close by. Placed a rock against container as it seemed exposed.

First find of a great day caching..Lake was nice and still at 7.00am in the morning..

Many Thanks Bitsprayer.

This was quite freaky!! We found that accommodation in Hokitika was full and were about to give up when we were directed to a B&B out of town. We signed ourselves in, then needed to go back to town to get some money and food so turned the GPS on and found that this cache was one kilometre up the road we were driving on. So we hopped out and captured a FTF by torchlight. How lucky can you be!!
Thanks Moneydork.
