By The Rae's on 30-Oct-06. Waypoint GCZ49Z

Open area up for other cachers.

Looks like the floods got this one

Didnt find suspect it had something to do with the floods

another victem of the floods

I think this one has been washed away by the floods

Yes I had a good look and then another good look but I think its gone to the big caching ground in the sky.. Cheers Bo

Could not find cache. Suspect it may have been a casualty of the recent flooding!

TFTC. Dropped off TB here - hopefully someone will pick it up soon. Picked up another TB to take back down South.

Easy Find, pristine day for a stroll olong the side of the creek. Left DONKEY (Trackable Item)

Today was raining but i found it so it makes me happy,but my girlfriend told me i am worst than kids

Great spot. There was a backpack stuffed with beer & wine a couple of feet from the cache - someone planning a happy easter!

Beautiful place for evening walk. Thank you.

evidently there used to be quite a bit of horse riding in this park. nice area. TNLN SL

Quick find between walkers. Another nice spot, TFTC

In New Zealand from the USA for 10 days, along with P&J40. Caching along the way gave us the opportunity to see things we would not have otherwise seen. TNLN SL TFTC

Nice easy find in the evening.

Got up early to go for a walk and bag some caches. This was my third before heading back for a shower. Enjoying this part of NZ. Thanks.

Intriguing gate, easy find, nice walk.

Easy to find. Had to sit down and wait awhile as passersby were wondering what I was doing. Took travel bug. No swaps

Weird spot - nice though! TNLN

A nice quiet spot to watch the world go by. a cool break from the sun. TFTC TNLN

Very relaxing walk, along the river! Good early morning stroll! Dropped off TB

We've got to know the waterways of Blenheim rather well this evening, and this was the most peaceful spot yet. SL. TFTC.

Also logging in and out our England Geocoin.

Quite picturesque. Had some time to spare on way to the ferry.

Quick find. I thought that the gate looked like a horse jump.

what a funny little place, getting hooked on caching

A quick and easy find on a evening stroll. TFTC TNLN.

Used the clue to find. Plenty of muggles about this morning. TFTC.

A great spot for horses & geocachers. TFTC

11:03 No 11 for the morning. Hmmmmm - did not know you guys 'did' traditional caches. Someone used to have a horse here.... A pleasant way to pass the day. TNLNSL. Thanks.

Cool.

Gosh, someone out there has found this since I have. Hope the bug wasn't too squashed!!! lol

Nice and quick. -Lady Bird Peg +Bumble Bee.

Interesting with nice walkway nearby.

9.30am Had to dodge dogs walking people. - T.B. Thank you David & Noeline

Another nice stroll around this path. We suspect the gate is/was actually a horse hurdle. Acted as a good seat either way. Swapped coinage.

[nice spot for a hide

heaps of leaves = dog had great fun] sniff sniff sniffen

Number 3 on the raid, a few more muggles here but not too bad. Mrs S.T. missed this one, I had a boy look and found it.
thanks,

A pleasant wander along the river bank. A very attractive place and all due credit to the local district council for the efforts they have made making it so. TFTC

Just a short stroll from where we were staying, while over here from Australia. Swapped coins.

Found this cache after a short stroll on a lovely warm, sunny morning during our holiday from the UK. Local kids were so friendly too and one told us about the local train. Thanks for the cache.

I found this cache as 6th from 9 on my trip around Blenheim's caches.I thing that the gate the old horse hurdle...

Tried to work out what the gateway was all about but I remain baffled. Good spot for a cache. TNLNSL, thanks.

An interesting and slightly unusual spot. A few friendly walkers about. TNLN

GPS co-ordinates spot on! Nice park, met a few muggles

Nice cycle track to here for Mrs BE to test her cycling skills. Very hot today. The motel’s swimming pool is now looming larger in our minds.

Nice cool spot to sit and fill in the log. A few muggles strolling past but I managed to look calm, cool and collected!

Visiting from California, touring South Island for a month. Staying right now in Blenheim for few days and doing lots of geocaching. Found this one pretty quick. Great park for our bicycle riding and geocaching today. TN, left US coin. TFTC!

Found quickly and easily on a showery afternoon.
Out Unite for Diabetes TB

Found with madiecacher

This is no gate.... but then again I can remember when this area was fenced off, and horses grazed. The gap in the middle gives away the purpose for which it was built.
It is a lovely spot to stop, and relatively muggle free.

Thanks for taking us to this interesting place.

It is indeed a gateway to nowhere!

Found with jf2004
Easy find even with the fading light

This is really a Gateway to No-where? Crazy Loves found this with Jeremy. GPS appeared to show that waypoint was 100m away but the name of the cache helped. TNLNSL

Great spot.

1336. We had lunch at the Garden centre restaurant then came here. The wind has come up and it is starting to get cold!

We have been spying the "children's train" tracks everywhere this morning and were wonderign if the train still ran - yes it does - we just saw the train chugging along on its tracks.

I got to GZ at 5.30pm and there was a truck close by wit teo guys in it keeping a eye on the new concrete. but the trees hide me well.

many thanks Bitsprayer

I popped in earlier in the afternoon, but workers were building a track close by, so I thought I'd come back later after they had knocked off for the day. Sure enough, when I came back soon after 4pm I was greeted by an empty path - a friendly site to a cacher Cheers Gav [1017]

18h15 Another nice place. Horse jump?-Yeh!

we were the second people to find the cache today. good cache. just had to wait for a few muggles to move away before moving in on it.

No problem finding this cache with the junior team members leading the way. Another one of those curious places geocaching takes you to. Thanks

Took a little while to find it as the GPSr was not functioning all that well. Got it in the end. TNLN Thanks.

Easy find. Maree reckons it is/was definitely a horse jump in a cross country course. A few muggles about and their dogs. TNLN Thanks

An easy find - but I had to be quick due to approaching muggles. No swaps, thanks and cheers from Grandalf(682)

I was going to put a cache here myself at one stage, glad I didn't as its time I found a few!
Any idea of its origins, or why its there!
Thanks for the cache

On road trip to the Christmas cache

found it after "The Christmas Cache" event.

Big open spaces. I'm guessing it was built for a horse running and jumping event. Thanks.

Nice One!!!!!!! Number 5 for the day caching in the Marlborough area. Great connection with cache name and site. Sure leaves a number of unanswered questions. What, Why and for Whom? + Star - Duck Thanks

Pleasant wee stroll once the rain had cleared. Neat trees.
Lots of swapping. TFTC.

nice spot great hide tnln thanx

Initially we thought we had stumbled on some old ruins but soon identified the location for what it was. Again another great location for a cache.

Nice spot, the gate is well named interisting park, i wonder what its was going to be?

We got to the site quickly and then missed it for a few minutes because we didnt look well enough.
Nice spot.
Left the Kangaroo TB and took a Weta

Found just on dusk. TNLN. TFTC.

Darn, thought I'd get a first! Did consider it briefly in the pouring rain last night, but did it this morning in the drizzle. No swaps. Thanks for the cache
