What a buggar!! That's a very nice hide!!

Bag broken, box missing and log wet!

SL TNTFTC

Destroyed/Seriously muggled: the lid for this hollow log has vanished, along with the securing bolts, and cache container destroyed - a few bits of plastic and an end cap were all that remained.

Not so easy find the cache, but I found it. My GPS was 12 m on other place for the cache. Thanks.

Quickish find but with plenty of bugs at cache site

TFTC - found with jonnygoescaching

Nice easy find on early morning run while on business in town.

I zigged and I zagged all the way down to the bottom to get this one, passing runners going in the opposite direction at least 2-3 times. Cache was in teh most logical place and I managed to pick a muggle free moment to leave the track and go looking. Easy find once up there. TFTC

quick find always a pleasure to walk in this area TFTC

Tough in the dark, Jeremy found this one. TFTC.

TFTC - Nice Location

really good hide-out. but we found it. TFTC - was really nice

Nice day for it TFTC

note to self: wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty when cache hunting... TFTC =)

Got this during a southerly so not many muggles around! (Although I still had to duck behind a tree once). The log book is getting quite damp.

very good hide

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...

An easy find using the clue, but probably a lot harder had we been forced to search a broader area. With quite a lot of muggles walking and running past we had to be quite careful to time our retrieval. Still managed to do it without being spotted.

Thanks again GSVNoFixedAbode.

It was quite easy once we knew where we were going. Got off track but then realised that we were off track.

Thought this one was going to be an easy one to do before lunch in the Rhododendron garden. But every path we took was blocked and we walked round and round in circles before finding a close entry point for Old Boots to clamber the last 25m. Hello Mrs chatted to muggles on the path while Old Boots took his time out of sight locating the cache. Proved to be the most time consuming cache today and boy were we ready for our lunch in the sun. TFTC

A clever hide and a good cooler overcast day to search - not too many muggles about.
Thanks

TFTC. Nice container and hiding spot!!!! SLB.TNLN.

TFTC. This one's cool beans. So clever

Good wee bad-on. Really cool hiding spot, and I only fell over once trying to get it. TFTC.

Very slippery when wet, nearly landed on a suspecting passing muggle

A good wee cache. Enjoyed it much! Took the quick track back, that is to say - slipped over and slid on my backside. Wife thought it most amusing!

nice cache ,easy found

Went to this one the hard way. Tricky stream crossing. Quick find of nicely hidden cache. SL TFTC

TFTC SL TNLN easy find great cache a few muggles walking passed but didnt notice me lovely day

Cool spot, and quick easy find with the Sunny South crew from Invercargill & Dunedin. This is the track our daughter takes to get to Polytech. Didn't have a bag with us sorry. TFTC!

I think we probably took the least direct route available but found it in the end.
Nice cache. The next visitor could help by taking a medium zip lock bag to replace the current one which has a hole in it.

TFTC! Nice hide.

Pretty quick and easy find on a hot day! TFTC Cheers

Nice walk in the gardens on Valentines day with Bee. TFTC TNLNSL.

Bit damp. Not sure if cache should be obviously visible once you are above it? Left as we found it anyway.

How ironic, really cool cache!!

A very clever one.

TFTC

Gee that hide's a bit naughty. Sat-loc was a bit dodgy. Nice sunny day.

TFTC

Not exactly low impact in the Botanic Gardens (which is what I would expect) but nevertheless a good hide. Once we worked out where this was going to be, it was just a matter of dodging the muggles.

Thanks for the cache.

Found after some scrambling through the mud.
Nice hiding place!

Nice quick find after muggles disappeared.

Made a day of visiting various Botanic Garden Cache. Nice hide on this one. Nice spot.

Found while out introducing the brother inlaw and nieces and nephews to caching. I think he is hooked.

Lovely day in the park with the kids.

Crafty Camo!

TFTC

Cool hide! TFTC

Nice hide.
Thanks for bring us to this spot

This was an easy find as one of our team members was keen and agile enough to scramble up the slope. TNLN

Easy find for muggle Dad whose only trouble was how to get down again.

Took a while to figure this one out and only after we checked the terrain did we find the cache. Wow! What an unexpected find! This is one nicely crafted cache container. Mr bjtrekker found the cache and geo-son scrambled up to the top for photos while Mrs bjtrekker and geo-daughter watched in awe below (and for muggles!) as geo-dad held up the prize. Had to do all the hunting, scrambling and photo taking in between the gaps in passing muggle traffic, so we spent quite a bit of time here. A very exciting find. Thanks GSVNoFixedAbode for a fun filled cache.

Very cool find, enjoyed this one
Thanks

Took two attempts to find this one, found by falling down onto it from the top! TFTC, cool hidey hole.

7/9 today. Headed to the spot and looked up to find 4 muggles peering back at us, looked to be settled in, so headed off to find the others and they had gone when we returned. Nice hiding spot. #87

Good hidey hole

Love this cache! TFTC.

Great hiding place (as mentioned by other cachers). First approach from the wrong way, but this was definitly too steep. Approached from another way and found it. TFTC

the sun came out and so did the muggles; we waited them out. Great hide.

Great hide but found terrain a bit steep going (esp for those who are not so flexible)! Found by my daughter who is a lot more agile than me. TFTC.

Easy find although the GPSr was a little erratic.
We are on our first visit to Dunedin from Oz and love the area.
Wish we had rain like this at home. It's something we haven't experienced for a very long time.
Loved the cache and returned to our motel happy but with very muddy shoes.
TNLN

Thanks GSVNoFixedAbode for a great cache and hide.

Last cache of the day - just as the sun was setting. A neat find, I like the container! Had to keep an eye out for those muggles too.
TNLN

Cheers,
Blarghster,

fun cache thanks

Thought this one had us fooled, so we stepped back, regrouped and went in for another look.
Well done.

Great hide and wonderful gardens

Great Hide. TFTC

Recovered after a bit of a scramble. Well named. TFTC

Replaced the full logbook. I see that the outer lid of the container has vanished I may have to archive this if the weather gets too much for it now.
Regards,
G.

TFTC took a bit of looking but found in the end!

Great site, literally stumbled across it. The log book is full, whoever heads up next might want to bring a small, flexible notebook to leave.

Thanks!

Arrived at the spot and thought, no, this is wrong, after looking around decided to expend a bit of energy to find it.

Well, Mr ProBing loved the scramble for this one!!! He's got scratches in places he didn't know he had places!
Excellent hide though!

Good hide, went too far then had to come back. Will need a new log nook soon.

Brilliant!

I almost gave up, but then Rasmus (3-years-old) found the cache. Very nice hide.

We dropped a coin

Scrambled upwards in the deepening gloom, nice hide.
-Piggy Bank geocoin. Had to keep going up to exit. TFTC .Will wait 24 hrs for Piggy bank geocoin to be logged.
Mr Orange is not in the cache.

The ground was slippery climbing up the slope to get to this, no because of the wet, but because it was so dry. Dunedin is having an awesome summer. Nice container. TFTC

great spot.love the camo.have been finding a few around this area.easy find.T4TC

Nice Place, thank you!

Nice little hidey hole and walk to cache. Took dice and left highlanders rugby card. From what I recall, the logbook is pretty full. TFTC

Managed to find this without a GPS. Didn't see TB18PPK in it though.

TNLN, TFTC.

Nice gardens. It was a bit harder then expected. Came down with some scratches.

cool cache have looked here many times

Great hide.TFTC.

Nice spot for a hide. There were plenty of people around today. TFTC

A cool little cache, and I loved the walk through the gardens. TFTC

This was our first ever attempt at geocaching and we managed to find it successfully without a GPS - haven't managed to get one yet on our student wages!! Very enjoyable TFTC

Nice cache. I looked at it from the north and saw exactly where it was. Would have been tricky otherwise.

2265. Good one!

This cache brings us "back to our roots" - where it all began for us!

We really enjoyed the beautiful bird songs all around us this morning.

Found at 3:16pm.
Using the clues we found the nice and unique container. Took cache back down to the crew and we logged and swapped.

Nice quick find with a friend.

Dropped off Jandal Travel bug.

Took a bit of finding due to the poor reception in the gardens. Used clues and were successful. Great hide.

A quick find on an evening walk in the gardens by torchlight from a nearby motel whilst staying overnight in Dunedin. Very well-constructed hiding-place, quite ingenious! TNLN, thanks for a fun cache.

Cool hide very well camoflaged. Bumped into a cachers grandmother while walking along the path.
TFTC

This was quite easy, said she who stood on the path and watched. I was on my way to play for a students audition at the uni, so made baby Pukeko go up by himself! TFTC.

GPS brought us right to the entry point, {me} joined the walk around the gardens for this one after a few trails had been followed to the wrong area. This is quite a cool concept, well done and TFTC.

Checking for caches that StreetWalkerNZ has found but I haven't and found this one. Apparently I didn't log my find 15 years ago, according to SW's log, I found it too! TFTC.

#206. StreetWalkerNZ, Troodles and Oma. Needed clue to get to right spot. The thing cache was in is damaged a little, but still quite effective.

17:20 Found after a scramble in the dusk. A great hide but be aware that the lid is broken. TNLN. TFTC
