Took a bit of searching and I was going to give up due to the rain, but there it was, exactly as the hint said. TFTC
TFTC. Almost gave up, but there was1 more look, and there it was. Took longer than it should have.
After I finished a work meeting nearby, I had time to find a few caches. I parked nearby and wandered up to this one. Found (eventually) as per the hint. TFTC, Biggles.
A summertime trip to the South Island, what could be better. Day three, and having flown to Christchurch and then driven to Timaru on day one, and cached around Timaru on day two, my travels today have me back up to Christchurch tonight to see a band play, and then up to Kaikoura for a couple of nights to see the same band play again. Along the way I'll be looking for Geocaches, and here's one I found. I am a fan of the theme of this series. In fact Iron Maiden are touring Australia and New Zealand later this year, and I will be following them and going to all eight shows. Did I mention I was a fan? Killers was the very first Iron Maiden album I ever owned. Interestingly the song Women In Uniform was only originally released on the Australian/NZ version of the album, not the original UK or US releases - it was added to future re-releases as it was a popular track wirh the fans. Cache found safe and well. Up The Irons! --- Thanks to TwoSharpe for placing and maintaining this cache. I enjoy each and every cache I find, and it is only with Geocachers like this creating them and placing them out in the world that this wonderful game continues.

Hint is spot on. Felt it before I saw it. Listed TB doesn’t seem to be inside.
I wonder what that nearby empty building was used for?

Nice wee spot...loved hearing the birds while I searched...T.F.T.C & the room for s.w.a.g
Cache 1424 Heading to Christchurch for a geocaching holiday this week where I’m targeting hidden days/months and a few D/T and to sign challenge caches. And as many virtuals as possible. This cache was a needed hidden day. Pulled into the hospital car park while it was quiet and made a dash to GZ, hint is spot on, retrieved 1 trackable to move on it appears the other is missing log was a little damp but writable T4TC
No log so took a photo. Was a poorly planned late trip out so didnt have my kit on me for paper and a baggy.
It was quite a hard journey but we read the hint and found it tucked away in the bush. Thank you to the person that made this.
Found it the agapanthus is a plant I think didn’t bring a pen so couldn’t write in letter
I felt a little exposed up here but it was a quick find as per hint and I had a sit down under the tree for a few minutes to sign and log and then return some emails.
Glad to find another Iron Maiden cache
Thanks

Thanks
Log is almost full and quite damp so a replacement in the near future would be great- a new plastic bag may also be needed
Thanks
Thanks
We were looking at the wrong tree but then we found out what an agapanthus is with a little bit of help with Google we found it deep in the agapanthus
We must ready for coffee! Actually searching everywhere, except the spot hinted at and pointed to by gps. Tftc. No uniforms today.
While we were at Princess Margaret we decided to do this cache too. There was a good hint and it was only found a few days ago but we still searched and searched and checked the logs again. No, we are definitely in the right place. Then M came over and there it was, right where Beeba and I were looking a few minutes before. We must have been looking with our eyes closed.
Me and my friend were a bit lost so we read the log and saw to look in bushes only after that we turned around and found it straight away we thought we were the dumbest people ever
Anudder bewdy morning in ChCh to get some in. Where to start? The one where it's hidden. Luckily it was the 2nd one I looked at... Cheers!
Unfortunately the log was replaced outside the Snaplock and is soaked. I’ve attached Photo as evidence of find. Thanks!
We were biking past so I thought I should have another look for this one, and bingo, there it was..
Cheers and thanks,
S.t.

We are trying to get a cache each day for a puzzle. This was not to far and had a cute title so wanted to find you. Wore this uniform in the late 70's, many memories here. Thanks for the cache TwoSharpe.
Nice quick find here due to the very helpful hint. Another in the series ticked off thanks TwoSharpe. TFTC # 15,772
Required quite a bit of searching but found it in the end. Have left a treasure (beads)
