H to O (Nelson / Marlborough) Moana, South Island, New Zealand
By kiwi-nomad on 13-Dec-06. Waypoint GCZT7T

See notes of april and may

Looks like it needs to be moved again, its last two trees it was attached to have been chopped down so it a bit out in the open now

Found the location of the cache, Unfortunatley i didn't read all the details before arriving.. I could not see the actual cache anyway. Not sure that it was still there. May need to be checked. TFTC.

Didn't read latest log, so spent 30mins removing blockage only to find no log

We took some friends to show off the best examples of caches and found this one needs some attention. There are foreign objects in the cylinder that we couldn't extract, meaning that the method of getting to the logbook doesn't work. Needs some TLC.
Cheers, Jackie

Good fun, really appreciate the creative effort!

Topnotch. Great team effort. TFTC

FABULOUS !!! Very funny ! I like it

This one was fab! TFTC

Thought it was stuck, had to get more H20 and then a good tap and "bob's" your uncle. TFTC

AWESOME

very good.....love the brashness

Great hide

Another very clever cache. It was a lovely day on the beach too.

Thirsty work.
Log was too damp to write on.

1445hrs It's a beauty, got so worked up we had to go back and get a drink. The Italian Job was here......! Our blog www.motorhominginxs.blogspot.com

Great idea and spot - but alas we don't have the requisite equipment! Next time!

1530hrs:
Found by myself, LilSpiker & Bruiser.
Quite clever those types of caches and this is my second one of this kind.
Cache good.
Signed log.
Many Thanks.

Nice cache

Great cache required a return visit with correct equipment to retreive the cache!

This was the 12th day of our vacation in New Zealand. This was our 70th cache. We traveled today from Havelock to Nelson and then back to Picton. Along the way we found several caches. Beautiful area. We are staying in a hotel looking over the harbor of Picton. Tomorrow we are going on the ferry to Wellington. This was a really fun cache on the beach of Nelson. We really enjoyed this one. Thanks and greetings from The Lowlandfamily from The Netherlands.

Very nice - totally open and enjoying the sun and a little H2O SL TFTC

What a great cache. Had some idea what to expect but still great fun. TFTC

great cache

Another great cache this evening! TFTC

This cache was great. The kids loved it. Nice one.

Great idea. Thanks.
We got to GZ and there were "sunbathers" on the other side of the tree in the dunes. Some loud talking amongst ourselves soon had them shifting on! Then we were free to attack.
Ran out of the required stuff, luckily there were some filled containers nearby to aid us.
Left a golf tee, and re-filled the containers for the next people.

found with terman8or great find, thanks

TFTC, I created a cache just like this a few months back. Thought i was cleaver for coming up with the idea!!! Great cache.

Found during our NZ-tour from the Netherlands.
TFTC.

Got a little wet completing this. TFTC

Caching with Sidewaze: This is so clever! My favourite so far, even if I did get a wet foot.

We totally loved this one!!!! Good fun. - - Practised our policy of recycling while we were here!!! TFTAC (A = amazing)

really liked this one. what a great cache. thanks.

HAHA. TFTC.

I was disappointed that this cache was not up and running when I was here in September. Stopped off today on the way to Takaka to complete. Had just enough of what was required with me. Thirsty work this caching. SL TFTC

Kind of FTF in its new location. I like your style. We did have to return to complete this one. I had a good chuckle. Don't get weed on! Thanks for the cache.

** Coordinates Changed From **
S 41° 16.774 E 173° 14.398
Distance From Old: 349.7 feet
Due to a park upgrade the tree it was by has gone and this is the nearest suitable tree, sorry it taken so long but the whole area is having a major makeover
the cace is now at it new home and once the coordinates are update its ready to go..

new home all set to go again!

Some one has pinched the pine tree it was attached to the whole area have had a major upgrade all the big trees have been removed and just some small shrubs have been left. nice to see they temporary replaced part of the tree that the cache was attached to and left it leaning against a small shrub. have removed and will replace in a new spot close by after it has a bit of a birthday

I got the last space in the log. Almost went away with the pencil - luckily I was very thirsty.

Only one space left on the log sheet (although the back is still usable). Made even more challenging at night! Thanks for the cache.

Ingenious! Great fun, fortunately I had read the description well and you are right, it was thirsty work. Only 2 spaces left in log book TFTC

As I had found a similar one near Christchurch I knew what to expect.

Excellent - I'd planned ahead and brought the necessary extraction material with me. Nice secluded spot as well - bit hard to find those around here. Coords spot on, despite the cover. Now off to Kite Beach. Thanks and cheers from Grandalf(1571)

found in the rain.

Neat cache, not prepared but we improvised

Very clever hide. Lucky it was a warm day and we had plenty of the right stuff!!

Very awesome cache. Nice day for it. Took the dog for a bit of a walk at the same time. TFTC.

Another masterpiece. TFTC

Nice idea, have seen similar replica’s up north. Nevertheless, we still have great fun doing them, especially Mini YuGeo.

2nd visit. The first was 2 years ago when I found I was not equipped for this cache. Better equipped today so it was a quick signing. T4TC.

All most blew the one. Not enough of the right stuff carried on a bike. Luckily there were two of us.

Thx great hide

Done one of these caches before so knew exactly what was required. However was slightly short of the required source which made it slightly harder. TFTC

Very cute. Just as well I was very thirsty that day!

Very very cool cache .... another beauty, and proof you need to read the instructions carefully. It was actually Miss Beanso(7yrs) who came up with the solution .. Thanks

Found this cache with my personal travel bug Ice Age Scrat along our 3 moths trip around the whole New Zealand,
17:30
very well done cache, Kiwi-Nomad like a Tim Taylor :c))), TFTC

quick easy find unusal clever cach enjoyed opening this one TFTC

I have seen at least one other like this (Displacement, in Oz). Without wanting to give too much away, the other is much bigger and has a plug and a small container beside it, with a nearby creek. It usually doesn't take too many trips to the creek to realise that you can do it in one go with the large top of the hide! Thanks kiwi-nomad for the fun. I had to make 2 goes as I was a tad short the first time

John Harrison the cronometer inventer has just dropped by for a vist.

Found with baby&Mrs gopher on our NZ trek. This was nice and close to our holiday park so it was an easy walk. I had thought it may take a bit too much to find so was not sure if we would try it, but as it was so close we decided we should. An ingenious baby gopher earned his stripes on this one and we were able to log it after all. No swaps as we left them at camp. TFTC kiwi-nomad,
Roostaman.

Found by baby&Mrs gopher in company with Roostaman at 1720 For Friday the 13th March No 13 for the day and one that was enjoyed by the team TFTC

I think the most unusual cache we have done!
How does it stay in place in such an open area?
Enjoyed it good job there were two of us in the team.

This Cache was very well done.. together with the Goldies we did it! TFTC

This was very very cool - just so different and we had quite a laugh.
TFTC

These are cool caches. This is the thrid one we have done so knew what to expect. Well executed !! TFTC

This is a very cool cache! Easy to find and easy to extract with the right product. Really enjoyed this one. TFTC.

Great Hide thanks. Good thing its a hot day

Just as well we were prepared for a hot day Very Uniquue Well done!

What fun! Had a great time doing a New Year raid on some of your caches, Kiwi Nomad, thanks for the entertainment.

Found while caching with Linleye. Great hide. Mum had to do the hard work here! TFTC.

A nice Christmas day cache while we walked on the beach. We were very close to not being able to complete this cache, but Jenny's finger allowed us to stretch our available supply.

Dropping off a couple of travellers to give them the miles they travelled with me.

This must be the cache I was told about by a couple of Bundaberg cachers who imitated it. Unfortunately, 200 aren't enough, so went to the big reservoir to get more. On the way there, it started pourring down again, also got wet feet and I was completely (and I mean, COMPLETELY!) drenched by the time I made it back to GZ, and then to the car. TFTC - love it! (and am currently trying to figure out what other shoes I can wear for the rest of the caching day...)

Great idea for a cache.
My son particularly enjoyed this one. Thanks!

Finding it was the easy part- getting it out was a different matter altogether! Had to duck back home for supplies! Good one. Thanks kiwi-nomad.

What a neat cache. Spotted by Biggles, retrieved by LukeSky.

Another clever idea. Worked out technique from previous logs and duly signed the new (dry) log sheet
Thanks

Replaced loge and check out cache all working OK again

Was staying only a few hundred metres from this one, and negotiated with Mrs GGK to let me do this on her birthday. Took the necessary accessory, although I only just had enough to make it work (wasted some before I found the hole to block as it had rotated to the back). Log is very wet and can't be written on. TFTC.

nice one the kids thought it was neat had us looking for a wee bit but we found it in the end
tftc

the log is very wet now needs replacement

the log is very wet and cant be writen on

Very nice one indeed.
Had to be creative to get the required tool. Luckily Elaine had her wits about her
We were prepared but had to go back for more !!
TFT Challenge

[Actually found this one on the Sunday after the BeltFamily's Mid Winter Xmas bash] However did not have container for water [so returned tonight so that we could complete.. and earn another smiley.. another great one by Kiwi-Nomad. TNLNSL TFTC ... the Log however is starting to get a little damp may need replacing soon..]

It was Sunday evening - 1/2 of the team sat in the car because it was bucketing h2O. Mr says "Briliant cache" - we didn't write our name in log 'cause the log book would have been SOAKED... like us!!! We enjoyed this one [:x]

Easy with the right stuff TFTC

10:55 Didn't have any H2O with us so had to return with same. TFTC

Really Tricky, it took us some extra walk..
TFTC Purzelbaum

Did this and other kiwinomad sites after kids triathlon.Hunted around but as per normal it was right under our noses!!

Discovered one similar to this in Northland so was mentaly prepared & armed with the correct equipment. Another great cache ...thank you.

Great cache! We brought the H to O and were set Hubby really enjoyed this one. NOTE: The log is ripped and that at the bottom... probably only 10 more lines left (approximately) TFTC

[This entry was edited by inperfected on Saturday, February 23, 2008 at 3:41:33 PM.]

Quick find. Had the H to O requirements with us so retrieved the cache and logged our find. TFTC.

Great cache, I'm glad I took my larger bottle with me!

Brilliant. Was a little worried I didn't have enough h20.
SL. TFTC.

wasnt prepared for this one left the water at the car so quick hike back and return to do the cache another enjoyable one

Thought we might be on a roll for Kiwi Nomads tricky caches so armed with the necessary "stuff" we tracked the cache down - enjoyed the cache and signed log on to another while we were in the right mind set !!! thanks for the cache
