Should have read the logs before stopping. Time this cache was disabled or archived
Definitely muggled. The Italian Job was here......! Our blog www.motorhominginxs.blogspot.com
Time to archive. Looks like this one definitely has gone. Owner seems to have abandoned it. Last November we rehid it, but it would have been found easily by a geocacher if it was still there. Looks like a muggle had been tampering with this one afterall. (see our last November log) Now we really regret not picking up the TB when we found the cache, we just discovered it instead, sorry.
What JBcivic said. Lovely spot though, which we'd likely never have visited otherwise. A pity there wasn't a cache for us to find though.... TFTC anyway!
Hadn't read any of the logs before visiting. Obvious spot for cache. No cache. (Speed Caching with nick_h_nz)
Owner needs to check this cache. We found it at the correct spot but it was open, with the lid off and beside it. But the logbook and TB were inside the cache. Had it been muggled ? When we replaced it we put it in the right spot inside grating and placed a piece of concrete block in front of it to protect it. Has it gone missing?
GPS kept taking us to one grate, couldn't find anything in it so looked in the others too but still didn't see anything
Found at right spot. Cache was exposed with lid off, lying beside it. The Travel Bug was still inside. Put it all back in right place. Wondered if someone is tampering with this one. TFTC.
35th of 35 finds on a big daytrip with max.corboy & timb172. Phew, a 10 hour marathon.
Was practically dark by now, but we stopped to get this one as there is one of the same name in our area. We meant to do a few more once we got to Maheno, but it really was too dark by then. This was a very fine church building.

Used this cache as a means to try and cure one of the team's phobias of churches. Don't know if it worked but she seemed distracted enough not to be too scared. Quite impressive church for such a small town.
Quick find between the circuits from the man mowing the lawns on a ride on mower TFTC (696)
A short stop for a cache at a nice historic church, thanks for showing and greetings from Germany

Quick find in a nice peaceful spot. Looks like we are heading the same direction as Cydd
Found with Mogni during our 8 days of caching and touring around the South Island of New Zealand.
A lovely old church that made a great stop on our way down the coast. A nice and easy hide. Cheers!

A quick find on the way home after a day caching on the way to and around Oamaru.
A nice looking church even in the Dark.
Thanks.

Quick find although while here the temperate has dropped at least 10 degrees! TFTC
Nice easy find. GPSr pointing right to it. Only concern were the Shetland muggles. TFTC.
Needed to be quick as muggles watching - fortunately found quickly and out of their sight.

Nice hiding spot! The horse next door looked on with interest as I grabbed the cache and logged my find.
TNLN - Thanks Chiron!
TNLN - Thanks Chiron!
Interesting to see all the stone laid in neat piles along the fence line. Are they in the process of repair, or removal? Hard to tell which. Love the Oamaru stone buildings in this region.
Quick and easy find...glad for the slight detour as we typically just sail past.

Hadnt fallen asleep by this stage of the trip so I got to sign the log. done with Knottsav
A stunning building, the stonework is impressive. Wandered around this building the stained glass is beautiful. Thanks for the cache.
12:00 Detoured slightly to find this. Great hide & nice peaceful spot. 1 person raced off to photograph horse. Amazing detail in the stonework. Pity has to be mesh over the stained glass windows but I guess there are vandals everywhere. Glad there was a sign to explain a bit about the church.
Found at10:10am
Nice easy find using clue. Looking in the wrong hole but realised that my arm was not going to be 15 mtrs long.
Took back to car to do swaps.

Find 4 of 22 finds today in the first Johnnygoecaching road trip (5hrs, 22 caches, 250km). TFTC.
Really loved the stonework on this old church. Cache was suitably hidden. No swaps, thanks and cheers from Grandalf(1243)
came here at dusk and it was a nice light around the mountains! Great spot for a cache
Made this slightly harder by going around GZ the wrong way, but quick and easy. TNLN, TFTC.
Nice easy find. Its a shame that now days this old church has to have wire netting over its windows. NINO TFTC
Easy find. Interesting old church. We would never have stopped here. TFTC

Didn't have the hint and GPS was indicating one of the bushes in front of the church - will return
#1224 Without hunting for caches I would have passed through most of these little villages without leaving the main highway. Lots of interesting places to see if you know where to look. TNLN DS8300
A quiet spot for a cache, well hidden but easy to find with the cacher's eye. TNLN Thanks.
Easy find, the cache was completely visible from all angles, so have secured the site a wee bit without compromising it at all.
Yes, a very holy church it seems. Bit of stealth needed here due to passing traffic.
