Hi TheWanglers

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Regards
TheCoddiwompler

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Needs mainteance.

Definitely gone

Bush is overgrown couldn't find it

Could not find it. Kids looked for a good 15mins

No luck this time! Cutty grass very overgrown

(# 6020). Day 3 of my South Island odyssey. Today is getting caches from Kaikoura to Christchurch. Woke up to a fine frosty morning with views of the snow capped ranges. An uneventful trip down. A quick find. Everything in order. TFTC

Tricky

Found 19 July - took a bit but got it in the end!

Searched for a while but found no sign of it. Might have to try again later

Thanks

With the Kaiapoi Gray Raven Scout group we came down and we found it

Bag and paper was in good Nic but everything else in the container was a bit weather worn. Good cache in a good site though, thank you

So hot

Found it

Thanks heaps

Hard to find. Great place.

Nice location. Need long clothing to locate.

Good find

I've been meaning to nab this one for a while now since I live just around the corner. Finally got around to it. Found with my geo-son stickmanjnr. Here's a wee tip, wear long sleeves, the cutty grass is very cutty! Took the travelbug to send it on it's way.

Found on the way home to Nelson with Nanzie. Left a TB. Thanks Hello Mrs

On our way back to Nelson from Christchurch after visiting family for the weekend a quick easy find Thanks for this cache Hello Mrs

An interesting spot to stop at on my cyclocaching trip this morning. An easy find here. TFTC.

Out for another day of collecting caches in the local area.

A quick find.

#6304

Thanks!

First find! TFTC

Contents a bit damp, but found after a good hunt.

Yeah, I suppose it was a significant occasion but I'm not sure it warranted such a memorial. I attended a camp in Woodend once but not here. It was a very long time ago. TFTC .

Easy find

Easy to find

TFTC, easy and quick

Cache #25 tftc!

Nice

Cool cache

Good hiding spot. Found it!

Quick find. Interesting history. TFTC

No 100..... TfTC. I was a cub in Oman !!!

The 3rd and last day of our Easter raid East and we are out collecting some points for the Planetary Pursuit.
Yay! We have made it to Pluto and are now official Space Explorers but there is always more caches to find so we are now out in the dark trying to find them. This one was actually really hard to see the hint in the dark as it was completely hidden by cutty grass. Pleased to finally spot this oldie. I think its time to pack it in for the night. Thanks for placing the cache

I've never been a scout unfortunately but not long ago I had a scout travel bug to be taken around scout sites. I hope it makes it here. Wouldn't have found this cool bit of history if I wasn't caching.
Thanks very much!

We were both Cub, and Scout leaders in years gone by so it was nice to come and find this cache. Great memories. Thanks for the cache

Used to be a Boy Scout many years ago

Never would have found it without the hint! Tftc

Found it on a rainy afternoon but forgot my pen!! Not a good Boy Scout here Thanks!!

tftc, TC + JK

Interesting piece of history here. Thanks

Nice quick find

I have dropped off the 'kids' for an event nearby, and had a couple of hours spare to cache, how convenient! Luckily I have not cached much around here, so plenty to keep me occupied It did get dark in the process unfortunately, but I had quite a bit of fun! Very cool spot for a cache this one! TFTC!!

The road was closed off for alot of the day, but after 3-30 they all packed up and we could get to the caches along the way. Easy find in an interesting spot, out with Wurzel'47 collecting a few smilies today. TFTC

Out with Busy Paws Interesting plaques on stone TFTC

Tftc. Thanks to whom ever left the stick to use to retrieve the stash. Once upon a time I was a brownie and a girl guide. I went to charnwood85 camp in england.

TFTC ouch

A nice easy find. Nice walk through the forest to get there.

Thanks for the cache from an old Springbok Scout from South Africa.

Introduced a friend to Geocaching with this one whilst out for a run around the beach block. TFTC

Found bur couldn't reach with short arms

Yay good fun in school holidays

Good fun for school holidays

Quick find. Spent quite a few nights under canvas as a brownie, guide, ranger, ranger leader and Duke of Edinburgh advisor. One of the most memorable would be in gale conditions at MOA in 1993/94 Christmas holidays. Tftc

Easy find. Awesome to learn some more Scouting history in canterbury

A quick find today. Thanks.

Out on a geocache trip. The crew found it in the cutty grass. Be careful. Learnt some history while there. Don't have a story to tell while in the cubs or getting to old to remember lol. We left some of our bounty behind.

The gate is no longer screwed shut so this was a quickie, TFTC

Found it TFTC

Looked for this once before in my less experienced caching days. This time it was a cinch! TFTC

3rd find!

Secondly one for us !

Traveling home and geocache

Nice easy find. .. interesting historical site.

Tftc

Mum and I found this, our first one, made our day! Thanks

Driving home from chch to Blenheim and getting a few caches on the way.
Nice easy one this. TFTC.

First family find, 5th overall

Would never have known this was here! Good to get out and see something different.

TFTC quick find once muggles had gone

TFTC quick find once muggles had gone

Quick find after waiting for all the muggles to leave, TFTC

Very late log. Found with my hubby Sevren.tftc

Did not realise we should be able to enter the area with the monument as the gate was screwed shut. Managed to find our way in and the cache was a quick find after that.

Went for a day trip around Pegasus and Woodend with Injeanious and jess.daphne, we signed the log as InTheDaph. TFTC.

Jess.daphne, The Burnsy and I decided to team up for a day of geocaching around Pegasus and Woodend. We picked up 21 caches and had a good time exploring the area on a cool summers day.

The gate seems to have been screwed shut for some reason but Jess.daphne jumped over and located the cache. Thanks for bringing us to this location. It's the kind that you could easily miss. Tftc.

Went for a day trip around Pegasus and Woodend with Injeanious and The Burnsy, we signed the log as InTheDaph. I jumped the fence as the gate was screwed shut, would never have known this was here. TFTC!

Found it

Soneone screwed the gate shut. But found it

Quick find but gate has been screwed closed.
TFTC

Great place to drop off a travel bug on his journey. Tftc

Yes! Found it!
It is in a little sistema container. The pencil has gone missing though.

Quick enough find once we were in. Fence is screwed shut

In town for a “Mega” weekend of caching. I joined up with Yeetrees and gonefishing to form Team YGB. I really enjoyed exploring the country roads of Canterbury. We travelled a fair few Kilometres in the 4 days we were here, and had a great time, with a lot of laughs along the way. Good weather, and good company. It doesn’t get much better than that does it.


Monday. Day Four, Area 4. Today we ventured north up towards Amberley. A change of scene from the long straight roads on the plains that we had experienced in the previous days. We then headed back to Pegasus and Rangiora to round out the day with a bit of urban caching.


Thanks to all the CO’s for all the caches we found.


Cheers and TFTC

Last day day of the Mega 2015, out with team Naki. Took a bit of hunting from two old scouts, great to read the memorial. This one is a wrap. Mission accomplished TFTC! Blenheim Bear

Another nice wee area we've never been before TFTC

Two old scouts out for a day's geocaching after the Mega. Nice historic site but only one of us was prepared to climb over the gate. (I know, in my younger days I would've jumped over with ease). I remember my Dad telling me of his attendance at a Jamboree here in the early 1940's. Thanks for bringing me here.

Found during the Mega weekend on bit of a tiki-tour around the Canterbury back blocks. Great weather, great caches, great fun! Thanks to all the cache owners for putting out and maintaining caches for us to find. All in all, a fun road trip with Boxhill and Yeetrees, we signed many of the logsheets as YGB to save both time and logsheet spaces.

TFTC Hello Mrs

Crood K was eager and willing to climb over for this. Crood Dad pointing at wrong post but like a scout he used his keen sense of direction to find the right spot. Tftc.
