This cache was replaced on the 16th November however it has been muggled again before I even had the chance to re-enable it. This is the second cache in the area that has been the subject of immediate muggling when they've been replaced so I am going to take the hint and remove all my caches from this area. 

This geocache was still in place however nature has unfortunately reclaimed this location. I have made the decision to archive this cache given the changed council signage and the amount of blood I shed just to check on it. 

Sorry for the disappointment today. The cache was there last month when I checked but I will be back there on the 16th so will take a replacement with me. 

Sorry for the disappointment today. The cache was in place and accessible when I checked last month. I'll be back on the 16th to check on the location but will disable this cache and redo as a puzzle cache instead of a multi due to the signs being replaced. 

The council have replaced the initial sign with a sign that has barely any information so as a temporary fix I've changed the way you get the required answers (I hope this is allowed). 

The council are currently in the process of installing the updated signage. Hope to be able re-enable this cache within the next month. 

I went for a drive to check on this yesterday and the signs still haven't been replaced, I've checked with the council today and they're still working on the updates and they can't confirm when they'll be back in place.
I'll keep checking over winter and I m trying to work out another way to get the co-ordinates to keep it a multi if the signs don't get replaced. 

Signs containing required data have been removed to be updated. Will enable when they are returned. 

Muggled for a third time so soon after replacement, can only assume someone is watching and removing this one on purpose as last hide spot would not have been discovered by accident. Will archive this hide and work on finding a better spot for a new cache. 

Hopefully this is just too well hidden and hasn't been muggled again. Cache was still in place on Sept 1st, I will be back down on the 19th and will check again and refresh co-ordinates as cache has been moved from initial hiding spot in obvious object (to a different spot on that same object) due to high muggle rate. 

Cache has been replaced 

Has been muggled again and I forgot to bring additional spares this trip. Will rethink where it is positioned and replace the cache on my next visit (should be within the next 6 weeks). 

Had a very good look but its either 1, very well camouflaged; 2, I'm just blind or 3, its not there 

This took me far longer than it should of, partly because I was lining up the numbers on the wrong side but mostly because I clearly lacked my counting skills today. Great cache and a favoutire point from me. My geo-puppy was way better behaved at this one but think that might have been because of the chickens distracting him. TFTC 

Found exactly where it was described to be in the owner maintenace but looks nothing like the last photo taken. Have driven past here so many times and never noticed this feature, very cool but I'm glad I found it without sticking my hand in too many of them. TFTC 

First time taking my geo-puppy with me and he was more interested in tangling his leash around the bushes and rolling in something dead than actually finding the cache. GPS took me to one location and many grass cuts later I was about to give up when I noticed a far more likely location and finally found the cache. Pretty little spot for a hide. TFTC 

Appears to have been muggled so have replaced the cache. 

Found with Nuttynora and Piwaka54. First time meeting fellow geocachers on the hunt. Nice to meet two lovely ladies. Thanks for the cache 

Finally got a FTF. A quick side trip on the way home from night shift to find this cache and after 10 mintues finally had my hands on the well hidden cache, I'm sure I looked there twice before seeing it. Off home now to take some hayfever meds, me and plants don't agree but the pursuit of caches is so worth a few antihistamines. Thanks for the hide. 

Stopped on my way to Tekapo today to nab this cache only to be thwarted by a lack of cellphone reception. A quick screen shot of the required information while in Tekapo and a successful hunt for info (only took me 5 laps around the cemetery) on the way home and soon had cache in hand. I love doing cemetery caches and was suprised to recognise a few names of people buried here. Thanks for the cache, a favourite point from me. 

So glad to finalky be back finding caches. Made the most of the lack of tourists to grab this cache today, still a few people round but my vertically challenged mother managed a rather stealthy grab of the cache for me to sign. 

Nice hide, a quick leap year find after work when it wasn't too busy. TfTC 

Nearly missed this geotour cache, walked past it twice while trying to find the other geotour caches and suddenly remembered there were four on the bay. Was a quick find when we finally stopped walking by it. Tftc 

Tftc. Found sitting on top of the post in plain sight. Have put it back where the hint suggests it should be. 

Discovered where freedom campers toilet on the way to this cache and had words with one that I disturbed just as he was about to drop his trousers in a bush I was passing.

I was about to give up on this cache for the day when on one last attempt I spotted a very apt little hide. TFTC 

Hard to be stealthy with this one once, let alone twice when I got back to the car and remembered I needed the code word. TFTC 

Erasing a DNF was a great way to start a day trip geotour raid of the West Coast. Thanks for replacing and maintaining this cache.

An awesome location for a hide, another place I would have driven straight by if you hadn’t taken the time to place a cache here. TFTC
 

We're thinking of coming back closer to xmas to steal a reindeer. TFTC 

Thankfully this was the last cache on our West Coast geotour day trip as the hike up nearly killed us. TFTC 

Weren't quite high enough for this to start with and were poking in all the wrong spots. A quick read of others log soon had us on the right path. TFTC 

Quick find in another beautiful spot. TFTC 

Geobuddy almost fell into a gorse bush, now I’m standing here pondering whether I’d have been able to stop laughing long enough to help her up while enjoying a stunning view. TfTC 

Not an easy location to be in anyway stealthy. TFTC 

Thought we'd have to come back for this one as there was a muggle parked right in front of the GZ, however a closer look found he was sound asleep and cache was quickly found, signed and put back, then we gave the guy a fright by waking him to make sure he wasn't literally dead to this world. TFTC 

The puzzle was quickly solved due to the eagle eyes of todays unwitting caching ‘hostage’ (ie I was the driver of the rental car and I had plans for the hours before it was returned for our afternoon flight home whether my mate was happy or not ). The walk down and locating the cache were pretty straight forward but I swear that hill got steeper on the return. TFTC 

A lovely walk (accidentlly took the long way here) on a hot day, ended up with a tan, a cache and some pics of an amazing view. TFTC. 

Another geotour find. Good quick puzzle to solve and a quick find when we worked out the right side. TFTC 

Quickly solved the puzzle and then walked a good 200m past the hide before my phone gps found some clear sky for an update. Liked the hide, first of this type for me. TFTC 

WP1 had us confused for awhile but got there eventually while annoying many sunday drivers and then soon had cache in hand. TFTC 

Took longer than it should have trying to be stealth but got the find in the end TFTC 

Quick grab on a busy day. TfTC 

The geotour continues, another great hide quickly found. TFTC 

Geotour officially started. Great hide, TFTC. 

Quick find, no log sheet in container only a wet little religious pamphlet which we recycled and replaced with a new (but not waterproof log) 

Nice quick find to complete our museum mystery. TfTC 

Took awhile to find this as my GPS is a little off but a good hide. TfTC 

Quick find in a quiet wee park. TfTC 

Quick find, one very sodden log in a plastic bag. Signed the replacement log in the bottom of the container. TFTC 

Sneaky hide. Reasonably quick find in between muggles. TFTC.
