Thanjavur Temple (Canterbury) Faringdon, South Island, New Zealand
By HariSree on 03-Aug-22. Waypoint GC9Y1TW

Heading to Christchurch with AlpiSteve for a concert so took a slight detour on the way. Didn't take too long to find this one TFTC

Hint is good. The written log inside is now full and needs more paper. Didn't have any on hand.

TFTC hint helps

Not there

I took a bit of a detour on my way to the shops to find a couple of caches this morning. This was a tricky one and was definitely not where I thought it would be. After a bit of a search I sat down to ponder the scene. Out of the cornere of my eye I spotted an item of interest and there was the cache. TFTC, Biggles.

Thanks

TFTC! Satisfying find

Warm day for geocaching, nice stop on the side of the road TFTC

Thank you for the cache.Just moved to Rolleston and am happy for all the local caches.Found this one after shopping at veg shop.Quick Sunday cache.

Found it

Tftc

2rd time here and at last found it. Can't work out how I missed it! Oh well, I have it now!!!

This took me ages! Someone has hidden it in my front corner garden. You don't need to climb on my wall, fence or get in my garden. If you do I will put my hose on you as it's being damaged and plants being squashed. Such fun but if you can't be respectful of my property I'll have to remove it. Please don't turn me into the fun police.

#22926. An unplanned bonus cache found on a detour to grab an FTF. Troodles spotted that we were driving past this one, so we stopped to see if we could track the wee blighter down. We felt rather exposed while we were searching, and were thankful the dog wasn't around today. After a while I spotted something of interest, and sure enough it was the end of the cache peeking out of its hidey-hole. TFTC.

We had diverted en route home to look for the new Rolly cache, and found ourselves driving past this cache as we headed towards home (again). It would have been rude not to stop, plus it seemed quiet.
I looked very very close to where the cache was eventually found but then discounted that sort of hide and looked a little further afield. After searching a few other places, StreetWalkerNZ had a(nother) look in location #1 and there was the cache. Nicely tucked away! Don't think this will be found accidentally. Now to continue back to Chch and a well deserved cup of coffee. TFTC.

This is in my garden and I cannot for the life of me find it. Has it fallen into the gabion basket?
It explains why people are outside my fence milling around making my dog bark though

TFTC.

Nice find on our morning walk.

I came, I saw, I... cringed. I very rarely fund these hides on my first try, and of course I arrived at a busy muggle time. I gave it 15 minutes hunting, grateful that I'd seen the log mentioning no need to get on the garden. I'd also seen a log mention that it appears it used to be tied on but no more. Unfortunately I couldn't find sign of anything that might have been used to tie it, nor of the cache.
I'm sure I'll be back - I can't stand blue frowns on my map!

Thanks for hiding this cache HariSree,albijos I appreciate it. I gave up. I didn't want to be on the Rolly neighbour hood watch page. I must have looked really suspicious looking around for at least 20 minutes.

Truffle pig found it..almost destroyed my fingernails

Felt like giving up so hard tho

19:33
Coming back from some MetalMania caches, this was right on my way back.
Every time I come through, there are more and more houses out here.

Wasn't hard to find the cache, it was about the same I was expecting from the hint

P.S. The shadowless myth sounded a bit strange to me, so I looked it up. And of course, it's only a myth. It [casts a shadow](https://anuragiyer.wordpress.com/2014/09/20/the-truth-behind-the-shadowless-big-temple/) , as everything else does It's, I think, only at noon, where you can't see the shadow on the ground because the base of it is big enough to absorb all of the short shadow of the midday sun.

Kia ora! Paldies!
Thanks for the cache, HariSree,albijos!

Nice

About to give up and there it was. How did we miss it? TFTC

My big bro, BaldEd, decided to drive to where I had parked my snail shell, Weedons, to cyclocache some of Rolleston's caches.

Another one that bro went thata-way and I went thisa-way and it finished in a tie.

Cheers for the cache.

Went out cyclocaching with Tufty. After DNFing the first cache we attempted we moved across the railway line to seek out all the temple caches. After finding our first temple cache all except this one, proved to be a quick finds. This one was hidden slightly differently and it took a little while befoire something slightly out of place was noticed. [^] As with the others the log is ready for replacement. TFTinteresting series of geocaches albijos,Harisee.

Yes high muggle area, owner doing his garden with awesome music playing TFTC

The idea of doing 200+ caches in one day had been one that I had considered for a long time, but not something I had made any moves on doing anything about until the idea was raised by others in a geocaching group I am a part of. As we were all based in Wellington, the logical place to try this was Christchurch with it's lovely flat lands, long straight roads, and wonderful art work series. Unfortunately the weekend that worked for most of the group was not one that worked out for me, so instead I came down here a few weeks earlier than they planned to and did the the trip by myself.

I started finding Geocaches at exactly midnight on Sunday. I kept finding Geocaches for the next nineteen and a half hours, when at about 7:30pm I decided that the tiredness was getting to a point where this was no longer a sensible idea. I found:

31 Traditional
180 Unknown
1 Multi

For a total of 212 Geocaches in 19.5 hours. That's a rate of 10.9 per hour. I am pretty happy with that. I focused on the Smurf series, the Metal Mania series (a set of puzzles that I very much enjoyed), and the Glossary of Geocaching series, with a few other sets and individuals in between. It was a fantastic day, very much helped by the wonderful weather and the use of a car that had no problem on gravel roads ('cos it was a rental).

A huge thanks to all the CO's that place and maintain these Geocaches. Despite the rushed day I created for myself, I did enjoy each and every cache I found. It is only with CO's like this placing them out in the world that this wonderful game continues.

Phew. Almost gave up. Great hiding spot. TFTC!!

These new sub divisions are popping up like mushrooms. This was a quick find on a lovely morning. TFTC

Will have to come back

Look at all the possible spots about to give up then soon had the cache dropped in my hand!
Flew down from palmy for Christmas and swapped houses with a friend. Don’t have many caches left to find at home base so We’ll try to clean up some of the caches here and hopefully pass 400 finds!
I wrote in the log and concealed the cache carefully back as found, TFTCSL, Thanks HariSree for this Traditional cache!

382th find


▀▄▀▄

Had to find at least one to keep our streak going. Today is day 58. Caches is fine. Thanks for the placement.

Found on a nice day in the area. Enjoying the caches

Jpsh

Many of the streets here are so new, they do not appear in our GPS map. Will have to update! A quick find anyway. TFTC!

Out with sometimes helper Greg on a drive coaching exped... So mix it up with some caches. But of a common theme with other finders... And then suddenly there it was. Cheers!

Easy find thanks

A neat little hide which had us fooled for ages. Having looked in several of those over the years we were sure it was in there somewhere. Pays not to have too many expectations. Might be worth reminding those following us that there is no need to walk on the new gardens. Thank you for the fun.

A nice afternoon exploration of India and Rolleston! This one was the third for the day but logged slightly out of order as I am logging by map and memory rather than GPS, and not going back now! TFTC!!

A series of quick find finds in new areas of Rolleston. Some are so new they aren't on the maps of my gps.

Sneaky hiding spot, loved this one

This one took a little longer to find than it should have. We focussed on the obvious, but the cache was in the less obvious. Thanks for placing your cache.

Ms_KR and I wanted to get out of the house for a while so we went to AshVegas for a drive and a cache. And an art gallery!

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Kia pai tou koutou Mahuru Māori me te wiki o Te Reo Māori hoki. I paremo iho tōku ngākau na te mea i kitea te pakitara kohatu e au; ahua rite ki te pakitara kei Arthur's Pass. Taukiri ē!

Excursion with downsouthinv while Abbykitt was at an event. Nice morning for walkies. Thanks for bringing me here.

A quick trip to the area for a few more caches and some unfinished bissness.
So today we get the last of one geo art and start a new one .
Let's go have some fun .
A nice early morning walk to pick up a few caches in the area before we head out of town.
Beautiful area and a quick find. Number five of the morning nice series



Getting out and about in to the out doors is my happy place so any excuse to go caching.

Life is short. Live one foot step at a time.Never say" I'm gonna "- Just do it!!
Thanks for the hide

Easy find. TFTC.

Having a day Caching with Little Horrible We are signing the Log Books as Little Wombles.Pleased no one was about and we quickly found it.TFTH

Good hiding place nice and shiny.

Found it took a while

Found it it was tricky to find

Looked like it may have once been tied in place but is no longer. A quick find despite the number of tradespeople working in the area. Again, some interesting information. Many thanks for cache hide and info.

A beautiful afternoon so I hopped on my bike and cycled across town to grab this one. The cache was a quick find. TFTC.

My first ever geocache and it was abit tricky at first because it was late in the night but definitely over excited when I found it

Some interesting pics on the cache page of the various temples. TFTC

Brr. Bit of a fresh morning, but couldn't help myself with a wee morning interlude. GZ re-markedly quiet and easy enough to make the quick find and sign. Thanks. Lovely wee series.
A fascinating temple. Reading up on it (about the shadow, that sounded cool).....morning and afternoon shadows do fall on the ground; it's only at midday that the shadow does not, apparently due to the temples shape (pyramid like) where the base is bigger than the top, the shadow that it casts only falls on itself.....pretty cool engineering....

Got to this one about 20 minutes after TG on a fine frosty morning. A nice hide in a new area. Gee Rolleston has grown so much. TFTH
