Cache 1432 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 month. It was almost dark, just a smidgon of light left I was hoping I could find this one in time, but it was a super easy find when I got to GZ as it was the most obvious spot and I didn’t need the light, this is a great hide spot love the sculpture, cache in good shape T4TC

Super fun!!

A nice quick park and grab today, particularly with the recent "helpful" (or not) hint.
WTiger1717 made the find and I signed - on a wee school holiday caching outing.

A cool little sculpture.
Thanks for bringing us here

Couldn't find it
 
16-Aug-22
We spent a bit of time going over this thing head to tail. Not seeing or feeling it.
 
16-Aug-22
Not sure if I missed something - I did this at night but the gardens by the focus point had all been dug up so there’s a chance it went with that. Hopefully not and I’ll be back to grab this soon
 
07-Aug-22
Took too long to find
 
17-Jul-22
Nice and easy for once. We seem to be chasing ‘Logan and Rob’ around the place today!

Hadn't been here in years and used to know people on the other side of the tennis court so it was a shock to see a house built where there used to be a road! Think it's changed since KR found it 10 years ago. Tftc

A nice find here after picking up a TradeMe purchase nearby. Great hide, TFTC!

Had a bit of a feel around with no joy. Got lower and had a peer in and there it was, bigger than I thought (but still a micro of course). TFTC Mrs sandfly tucker.

We are in Christchurch for a time over Christmas/New Year, and this morning I went out for about 90 minutes to find some caches while RG72 went for a walk with the dog.
I hadn’t thought about where to go, but off the cuff decided Aidanfield would be a good spot. There are a few caches around here on little walkways that looked accessible.
Pretty good success, the only two I could not find were puzzles without geocheckers, so will go back to the drawing board on those. Thanks all.

This is one of those that all makes sense when you get there! Really enjoyed the cache title. We decided on an end each and it was found before I had reached mine. TFTC Mrs Sandfly tucker # 15,326

I never complain about caches being too easy though of course as we approached, recognition of what the cache name was referring to was instant and that narrowed down the search area considerably. I was surprised to see how old this cache is. There's probably even more rust here than when the cache was placed Smile.

Great start with the kids on Saddleback Green. 7 years living down the road and kids building huts around it and no idea it existed. Thanks

Hi

Quick find when I got to the location...my GPS map hasn't been updated for a while so thought there should be a road where there wasn't. Tftc

Nice hiding spot, not too tricky for the kids

Yay first find with kids. Awesome, thanks
 
27-Aug-19
Had a lovely chat to the guy across the road who said exactly where it should be, and there it was. I just needed a longer arm.
 
11-Aug-19
Cool park quick find thanks
 
27-Jul-19
The GPS was a bit off, but given the title of the cache there was only one place it could be. TFTC!

Good and simple

Was here weeks ago searching for the cache, DNF back then. The guy who lived across the street came out asked what I was doing and give me a instruction of where the cache was located. I did a detailed search but no luck.

Headed back today with cold raining and did another search, looked at all the possible places but still no good. (And the guy across the street didn't come out. Feels like a NPC in a RPG game and I'm the knight on a quest, but he's not in his house this time. )

Seeing another DNF in the log I believe the cache has been muggled. So I brought a new replacement cache and placed it to a spot very close to the original GZ. It's still matching the original description I believe.

Now it's a small size container with some spaces for swaps. I've also left some swaps in there too. Hope this new cache will stay away from mugglers.

PS. If any one came up with finding the original cache, in case I missed it (although I don't think so). Please restore the original one and put mine replacement aside, message me and I'll go retrieve it.

TFTC, cool place to hide.
