Time to tidy up a few caches in and around Rangiora and put some more smiley faces on the map. 

An obvious place to hide it, but nevertheless clever and well hidden...... Cheers!

#20862. We had an enjoyable wee walk across the park, and I quickly spotted the cache (took a little while to work it out of its snug location). TFTC.
 
02-Apr-22
The first of three finds after lunch in Rangiora.
It was a beautiful day, but decided to walk as much as possible on the path rather than the grass as it looked as though it could be damp. It wasn't but it mean that StreetWalkerNZ, who took the direct route, was a GZ first and had found the cache by the time I reached him.
All I needed to do was sign the log book Razz. TFTC.

This was an incredibly "snug" fit and needed a TOTT to extricate. We managed and have not put it back so tightly. TFTC and the test of finger endurance until they gave up!! Cool

The cache is very snug in it’s hiding place and we needed tools to retrieve

A nice spot and a great hide cache in good condition tf tftc

Cutest little find tftc
 
01-Nov-21
I checked one spot first but there was nowhere to hide a cache there. I then turned around and saw a much better place.

Having seen many caches placed there before I assumed it'd be easily spotted. Nope. An easy find, but not without looking. Not often I give such a familiar hide a favourite point, but this was nicely done.

Nice snug hiding place. A couple of women phptographers were in the park but only interested in shooting the blossoms so the find was easy. Many thanks.

After arriving back from Lyttleton and having some lunch, I shot out to grab a solved puzzle... I couldn't find it so refreshed c:geo and saw that it was archived..... should have got it last time I was down! nevermind, I also saw this sitting in the same park, so I made the short walk across.

Thanks for the placement and the history lesson on the page Smile

Nice little park and story of the area. Lucky the kids have little fingers to retrieve it! TFTG.
 
10-Apr-21
A nice quick find in a deserted park. Luckily I had my walking pole with me as it has a pointy end. This definitely helped with the retrieval! TFTC.

Great little hide and history lesson. Thanks
 
21-Mar-21
Overthought it for a bit but soon had spotted it. Nice quiet area with no onlookers
 
14-Mar-21
Certainly not on private property. The lads were all playing cricket and took no notice of us. Found the extraction not that difficult. Thank you. A really pleasant little park.
 
13-Mar-21
A nice quick find thanks. Favourite point for the well hidden cache. Cheers

Ms_KR and I had a weekend away up to Kaikoura. A lovey day, but a wee bit windy!

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.
 
13-Mar-21
Hope my high-vis cycling attire didn't attract the attention of the nearby neighbours (with big glass windows) overlooking the park as I wandered around at GZ looking for the cache. Tricky little hide. TFTC ClanTalent.

Sneaky dog announced our presence but quietened down as we got to GZ. Tftc

Was out walking the dog and this one popped up as a forgotten log. Great history and informative and a clever little hide. Thanks for the effort that goes into placing and maintaining a cache.
 
03-Mar-21
A nice easy find on a quiet morning. We were amazed at the amount of fruit on the trees. A clever hide. TFTC
 
03-Mar-21
A clever wee hide in a lovely spot. We just had to avoid a muggle dog walker to get to this one. TFTH and the history.
 
03-Mar-21
We felt very conspicuous here as Jessie our White Westie stands out a bit more than us..Muggles were walking back n forth through this Park,and we had to wait a few moments to retrieve it..
We might have to get her a Camouflage Suit..TFTC
 
02-Mar-21
Tftc!
 
01-Mar-21
Lovely mild morning for a walk! I noticed the publication, realised how close it was, and given that I was already awake, I went to enjoy the quietness while most people are still asleep. Very pleasant temperature, stillness, and the smell of the morning! Once in the park, locating gz was not too difficult, but removing the container took a bit of wiggling. Got there eventually to find a blank logbook, yay! FTF @4.17am. TFTC!!!
