Popped in to check on this cache and found it visible from a distance. I feel it has done it's dash and now with not living in the area have decided to archive and let the local cachers move into this area.
Many thanks to those who have visited the site and i hope it is replaced quickly

Again I am amazed on how lucky our children with the play grounds they have

A quick find, with Noisy Eyes having a turn with the new GPS and just about standing on the cache. Fun to discover a new spot. TNLN, TFTC.

A quick find. Log book very wet could not sign

Wow another place I never knew existed, a nice play area for the kids

A very easy find.
TFTC

Could see this one clearly from a few meters away.

Wazza and the Wenches have invaded NZ on a (caching) holiday. Surprisingly the Wench is happy for BBTD and Wazza to chase caches wherever we go.

A cold and wet day spent in and around Blenheim. A bit of relaxing and a bit of caching between raindrops.

Without a decent map I found myself driving around the entire park before finding a suitable access point. Cache was found very quickly as it was visible from a short distance away. I surprised it was not muggled.

Thanks again Stretch0

Easy find.Nice Location.Put in toy centipede,fly and soldier.

A quick find this afternoon during a stop on the way to the Picton ferry. Nice little park, would never have known about it otherwise. Signed log, TFTC

Certainly had to use our GPS for this one but found O.K. Needs the lid put on container firmly as it had been damp. TFTC

Nice easy find. Left Geocoin, finally getting back into this fun hobby for the family.

Quick find thank you for bringing us here

Out with Mrs.G for a walk around this nice little township. We were staying with friends for the night on our way back from a week in the Abel Tasman and had Fred as our guide on our walkabout. At the park gave Fred the clue and he made a nice easy and quick find, his first. Will he be bitten by the bug? time will tell.

Found it on our 2nd visit. Quite simple in the end!

Great Park - first experience for a community settlers assoc. member who was with me he had never been to this park and was impressed with its grooming

A quick find. TFTC. TNLN. Cheers

Quick find in a nice little park. As noted by the previous logger the cache does not seem 100% watertight although the log is still in good condition. TFTC, Biggles.

Easy find. A lovely little park in Renwick - didn't know it existed! Cache a bit damp but book ok. Took Race car to place at next stop. TFTC

We were quite impressed by how well hidden this one was!! We would have really liked to have eaten some of the citrus fruit that was going to waste falling on the ground at homes around this area. TNLN TFTC

A little bit damp but all useable.

Was not so sure I'd find this cache but got there okay.

Lovely park, thanks for bring us here.

Thanks for placing a nice easy cache, Stretch0. When you don't have much time as you have to catch the ferry, you really appreciate caches like this. A nice wee park too.

Nice little park. The gardeners were working here today - they do a good job. TFTC (453)

Quick simple find in a park we would otherwise not have noticed. TFTC

6th of 20 today. Easy find. NINO TFTC

Was glad to find no muggles in the park, it looks great and I never would have seen it if I wasn't looking for this. TNLNSL TFTC.

I've found your cache!

Recently I had a bit of spare time in the upper end of the South Island and I managed to find a large number of geocaches. Unfortunatly due to an unexpected trip to Australia for family reasons I was called away from my Nelson adventures.... Now three weeks on I'm having to sit back and log the piles of caches that I did manage to find while I was down there. As there were a large number of caches, I've decided to throw in a generic log for all but a few of them.

Being a North Islander I was surprised at the sheer number of (glow in the dark) polar bears living in the upper South Island - I really didn't think it was that cold down there. And if I had of cottoned on eariler I could have traded for pretty much an entire chess set, one piece at a time. As it was I tended not to trade geo-junk but I did move a small number of geocoins around.

Of the caches I found I could not possibly choose a favorite but there are certainly both some challenging and very rewarding caches in the area. The best caches tend to be the ones where the owner has put in a bit of extra effort or extra thought into the challenge and design of the cache, thanks to all those who did. I was also very surprised to see that there are a large number of caches placed in and around graveyards - I've never visited so many in shuch a short space of time. I was pleased to see some new ideas around as well.

Warmest Regards,

Bobo.

Good spot, yet another park that we didn't know existed!
Some muggles, but they were none the wiser.

A nice easy cache once the muggles in the gocart had gone.. cheers Bo

Visited cache today and replaced with dry one

A straightforward find in a nice wee park, but the cache was full of water, and everything is soaking.

Cache full of water and contents soaking.

Found at 8.53pm TFTC

Our First ever find, no one around so easy to look. Garmin took us straight to it, with in 2 foot.

Almost gave up on this cache before thinking I should give it one more try. It certainly was well hidden! TFTC.

rsteiner50 and i found this. thankfully no muggles playing while we were looking. TNLN SL

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. Neat area. SL TFTC

Didn't know this park was here. Drove around a bit until an allyway was found for access. TFTC

Drove around a few side streets to this one, I did the lifting, Mrs Wonder did the looking. Cycle muggle cruised by as we where getting back to the car. Nice park.

TFTC

Found this on our way heading north, a quick find. TNLN. TFTC.

Easy find, remember this park from my teenage years. Log still damp but we were heading back to Chch so no time to dry it out.

Nice place to play
The log book is dry but the trades are wet and messy.
Nothing in or out

Found with madiecacher

No one about - guess they're all busy with Christmas preparations. The cache is quite damp and could do with drying out. SL. TFTC.

Also logging in and out our England Geocoin.

Great looking playground - will need to bring the kids back to this one - Mrs Explorer used to live nearby as a teenager but never knew of this place.

Found easily. Box is a bit wet but log book & swaps are all in plastic bags so OK. TFTC.

11:46 No 13 for the morning. Avoided the canine droppings cleverly placed to discourage muggles! The fun was finding the park entrance Will bring my kids here next time through. TNLNSL. Thanks Stretch0.

Took a while to find the park, not so the cache - co-ords on the money. Thanks.

Another new park for me! Cheers.

Replaced Logbook and added a few goodies. Will stay drier inside container if placed in the upright posistion!

Cache a tad wet
TFTC

Took me two trips but I found it. Bit soggy, container was full of water but ok. Dried it out, took a smiley top, left a penguin.

Last cache of a Nelson Chch Nelson round trip weekend. Night raid needed. TNLN

We were staying nearby and so this was a great way to stretch our legs after a long day of driving. Made a loop of the park before figuring out how to get through the houses. TNLN. Thanks!

Found this one with looking4thebroc while traveling around south island. thanks!

found while in Picton for a hoilday,teamed up with Muzzman & Annie and split off to cover all the caches.

I lived in Marlborough for twenty years and never knew this park existed - thanks for getting me to it with your cache!

Third for the day. A quick find on the drive between blenheim and nelson. TFTC

Had a wee hunt around for this one, but got it in the end. Still the blustery wind continues, as does the smell. I'm not to blame, for once! TNLN, TFTC.
