Retrieve It from a Cache 1/13/2006 Paybug retrieved it from Canterbury Tales (Canterbury) South Island, New Zealand   Visit Log

Picked this up today and will place it somewhere else around Christchurch soon. Did not have my camera with me but will take a photo for you when I next head up that way.

  • The view from one side of the hill Cycled back up the hill this morning with the camera, beautiful morning so the view was great. This is looking over Christchurch and the New Brighton beach to the right.
  • The view from the other size This is the main port for Christchurch, called Lyttelton.

Found the TB in Deaths Corner (GCHJFQ) which is in the middle of the Arthurs Pass just off the highway. Will use Compass on the next geocaching adventure.

We found this cache on our second attempt, after a lot of looking. I am travelling NZ with a friend from Hamburg, we hope you both enjoy your visit back to NZ next year :-)

Jetzt, wo wir die Einweisung bekommen haben, kann es auch sofort losgehen. Mal sehen, ob wir unseren eigenen Anforderungen standhalten und unseren eigentlichen Auftrag auch erfüllen können.
Wir hoffen, daß der Travel Bug nicht in 6 Wochen wieder in Deutschland ist. Dann war er aber wenigstens schon mal unterwegs.........

Projekt TB Compass nach NZ, geht langsam in die Realisierungsphase 😉. Leider reicht die Zeit nicht mehr um unsere Freunde genauer einzuweisen. Jens hat heute mein altes Etrex bekommen, und will bis Freitag das Manual lesen. Dann ist eine praktische Einweisung geplant, am Wochenende soll es dann losgehen.

Für NZ habe ich 10 Caches auf der Südinsel vorgesehen:

Diese Caches haben ja alle ein Rating von 2-3, es wird also spannend bleiben ob unsere Noch-Muggels die Aufgabe bewältigen werden 😉.

Again in English 👍
By solving the task on howto move this TB from Germany to NZ, I asked my friends Corinna&Jens (still Muggles) to do the job during their holidays in NZ. So I printed a couple of caches and gave them my old ETREX and the manual, they have 20hrs time for RTFMing it during flight 😉. Today we created the gc-name "coje" for them, and hope we will win new friends to our amazing hobby.
I think we will read new logs within the next 3 weeks 😉

Found this TB just behind an old railway station. Now we will work on the problem on how to move it to New Zealand. This means we will try to train friends of us, to new Geocachers. They will go to NZ next month. Wait and see how this will work 😉

Sorry, Anfängerfehler.
Ich wusste damit noch nichts anzufangen.
