We had a wonderful drive in the brilliant sunshine today and came on this little spot. Intriguing house, easily found cache (gooseberry bushes a bit prickly though), SL TFTC.

Very quick cache, SL although we agree with comments of others - the log needs replaced.

Easily located in a lovely spot - the hardest thing was getting the log out of the container

Our first visit to Christchurch (NZ) and we sat down in the sunshine for a drink and a bagel and the GPS was switched on in front of Mrs Pippin and what do you know - we were 8 metres away from the cache . Mr Pippin made a quick sortie and hey presto.

We downloaded this before the co-ords were updated and had the same problems as previous cachers. Still - located after a bit of a search and we have taken the TB to move on.

Too hot to do anything today but we managed to bag a few caches anyway.
No problems with this one. SL TFTC

Found on a very hot day and the shade was much appreciated. Search was hampered by two friendly and enthusiastic local muggle puppies

Easily spotted but not so easy to retrieve - hope no-one was watching as Mrs Pippin took a nosedive into the shrubbery

We liked this lovely spot but had no luck with the cache. Looked on the side of the track that seemed most obvious without success. Clue was worse than useless 
Found at second attempt as the first time we visited a muggle was enjoying the sun and a bottle of beer close by.

Lake very high so Mrs P had to paddle in order to get this. No trackables in this cache so we assume someone has taken and not logged them.

To think we might have driven right by here without noticing the viaduct.

There were no trackables in this cache when we visited it.

not too easy to find, our co-ords were 8m out and the hint didn't help so we wonder if the cache might have moved from original location. Great views though.

Magnificent scenery and two caches as a bonus - what more could we ask for?

Quick cache and dash as it was very wet and misty today. Lovely peaceful spot.

Stopped here on our way from Christchurch to Hokitika, we spent an hour and could have spent the day here.
What an awe inspiring spot.
Thanks for encouraging us to visit here.

Our GPS was about 50m out on this one however it was fairly obvious where the cache should be so located it no problem
