No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Didn't expect much here but it was closest to the hotel and I had to walk past it to get some others. Found a plastic container lid with silver and black tape over it but nothing else.

Needs attention?

Same thing for me.
Even though several didn't finds before me I also gave it a try, but no luck.
Greetings from Belgium!

Will look at how we can get cache replaced and hopefully anti-muggled. But not too hopefull.

Did what it sounds like most previous cachers did. No luck.

When walking towards it we thought we knew exactly where it would be. But no not there.

No more luck today !

Went to GZ after a DNF and was greeted with another DNF, I did what previous DNFers did to no avail. I love Ents and there was a plausible spot but no cache. Oh well, will keep on watch...

I will be very sad if this has been muggled because we have only just replaced it and no-one has logged a find since.
Will check in the weekend and decide what to do after that. If anyone who knows this cache gets there earlier and checks that would be great

My partner and I had a really good poke around in what seems like the only place the cache could be hiding, both with hands and sticks and couldn't find a thing; we wondered if it's been removed by the owner or a muggle? Neat spot to hide a cache though!

New container has been placed. Lets hope this one lasts. Please take care opening it and re hiding it.

Found this nice Cache this afternoon together with deSchmidt_n ...

Found this nice Cache this afternoon together with deSchmidt_n. We found no Box, only a plasticbag with a logbook. TFTC!

Found it. The log was outside the cache and too wet to sign. Might benefit from a new log book. But a really cool location.

One of 16 finds today in the city on foot
TFTC
As per other logs the log-book is loose and the lid and lower are trapped in the GZ. Great tree though!

nice walk today
tftc

Very well hidin, def need sticks to get to this one

Only had half a container and a soggy log...signed it but needs to be replaced

a very wet find

log wet and half container missing

What a great start to a lovely days walk. Thanks 'Parmur' for setting this one up. Seems like the base of the container is missing - or maybe hidden much deeper in the hidey hole - but the log is also quite wet. RoamingParsons from Bundaberg, Oz.

Quick find as I saw the tree in question, cache retrieval was a bit tricky as the container was open and had been pushed right to the back of the hollow, I managed to extract the bottom using two sticks as a pair of tongs, the log was super wet and I could hardly make my mark on it, managed to seal up the bag and put out of sight inside the hollow, may need some maintenance, TFTC!

I was here for working and I used my free day for sightseeing and geocaching.? Very nice park.

Easy find tftc

found it with tagtigall.
tftc sweet as.
pretty "enty"

tftc. greetings from germany

Saw the hidingplace from far away, so this was an easy one. TNL Sg coin. TFTC with greetings from two Swedes in Singapore.

Now we know the real ENT.
Nice place.

Great arms

Nice day out thanks

First cache on this "extra" day. Out for an early morning walk in the park before the business day began. Checked a few spots before the real ENT revealed itself. Cache spotted nicely tucked away in its hiding spot. TFTC

Now I know what an ENT is

TFTC

Lots of cicade shells, and a nice hiding place. Needed a Tool to retrieve because of my fat fingers;-)

Was in Christchurch for a long weekend with Mrs Yeetrees and decided that we would get a few caches while we were in town. Managing to wake up early this morning and Mrs Yeetrees was a bit tried so I thought that I would leave her in the Motel unit and I would go out and grab a few caches before having to go out for a brunch appointment. Decided that I would go out and pick up a few caches, arriving near GZ and found a carpark on Riccarton Road and it was a quick walk to GZ but as I parked a bit further than I would have liked I had to bush bash my way to GZ after doing the other cache that was here in this area, arriving at GZ it took a few seconds for the GPS to settle and then I managed to find the cache without any issues, thanks for placing a cache here and for bringing me to this lovely spot, just as I was walking back to the car I got a phone call from Mrs Yeetrees to advise me that she had finally decided it was time to pick her up, TFTC TNLNSL (4143)

AMAZING DAY IN CHRISTCHURCH MANAGED TO FIND TEN CACHES TODAY A RECORD FOR US

WE HAVE TRAVELLED BOTH THE SOUTH AND NORTH ISLAND AND MOVING ON TO SYDNEY TOMORROW

NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO ALL THE SNAKES AND SPIDERS!!

Great name and good hiding place. Never seen so many cicada "skins" in one place. TFTC.

Good location, easy find... TFTC

A quick find while walking through the park. TFTC!

Nice little cache. We needed to take a closer look but found it well. TFTC #174

On my birthday- 300th cache, 19000 km far from my home.

Quick find after a failed attempt last year when it had gone AWOL

Found together with miriel1911 during our journey in New Zealand.

Found together with kimberlit1905 on our last day on the South Island - nice place, and a lovely Ent!
TFTC, miriel1911

Finally found it!! It was pushed so far back, I nearly got my hand stuck, twice! Very pleased to have found it. TFTC

Nice easy find while out for a walk at lunchtime. TFTC. No pen so no log.

2nd time trying to find it. I'm at the right tree, but I think I'm too short. Next time I'm bringing my TALL partner with me, he'll be able to reach higher than me! :0)

That is the bestest entist tree I have ever seen
TFTH!!!!!!!

Awesome spot tftc.

Thanks for nice cache in New Zeland. Very nice tree...

Found it somehow today. I was in the right place first time I tried, over a year ago and was unsuccessful. It isn't that easy to get to.

Very cool, GPS was off, but as i walked past caught it in the corner of my eye. Neat.

Clever clue but not for this visiting Aussie! Easy peasy

Convinced I had the correct Ent, but still couldn't find it! Gave up in the end, more caches to visit and I was starting to feel... obvious...

Log replaced 11:50am 12th Jan 2012 by minty_express

What a fantastic hidey spot! Perfect way to spend my lunch hour. TFTC Log replaced.

Nice but wet log.

Nice hide. A bit of a challenge under the cover of the trees. Sadly couldn't log my visit as the cache was too wet.

What a neat hidey hole and tree. The log is very wet so was unable to log my visit at the cache.

Glad people are still finding this cache, sorry log is wet, will replace as soon as back from holidays.

Far hands presented a momentary problem but then all good. Neat location

After waiting patiently for passing Muggles I found I couldn't reach the prize. Rushed back to my ute and got a tool with which the extrication was made. The logbook unfortunately is saturated but my pen still was able to make my scrawl.
Thanks

We needed some time to find the cache, because we were to stupid to find it. When we found it, there was only the logbook in the hide. But we found the box too and put it back in the hide. But the logbook is completely wet.
Greetings from Germany.

Great hide!
Logbook was in sight, camobag would be better.

the container was wet inside but the log still dry. hope it lasts. tftc.

Have replaced wet log, and tried to make it waterproof. Hope it lasts a little longer

Not sure what an Ent was going to be - found it anyway - TFTC

Be aware log is very wet. Will keep it open for the time, however hoping to get to change it in the next few days.

Very wet log

I biked to this one on my way to visit the Cashel Mall. An absolutely beautiful day today for a bike ride, and to celebrate the re-opening. Lots of people out checking things out. After finding this really nice hide, I found the log very wet. I laid it out in the sun for a while, but not long enough to dry it out. The lid is cracked on the container, so the CO should make a repair/replace run, I think.


SL/TFTC!

Found with Wally0ne and mollymop.
Sorry for late log.
TFTC

Great spot. TFTC.

Finally found this one. TFTC

Waterlogged . Tree branch also harbors water after heavy rain.

Very cool.

Currently filling in log and waiting for muggles to leave so I can replace cache.... The joys or a sunny Sunday in the park.

Early morning find while it was still dark and no one around TFTC

Great spot

I'm en route to colder climes, but wanted to grab a cache in NZ while I was here. TFTC!

Spent more time trying to get cache out than spent trying to find cache. Managed to get out in the end but broke pencil in the process. TFTC.

fantastic location. Thanks

Nice walk in the park. Easy find.

Found easily on a nice sunny day. TFTC

easy

TREEmendous... quite disARMING

Love the Lord of the Rings - such a lovely clue. Great cache.

3rd find of the day with Grant the Ladykiller. Scrambbled around a few trees and had to avoid the sweaty joggugles. Found it in the end - great hide. TFTC.

Quick find while on a trip to Christchurch. TFTC

Great cache.

A great hide here. Looked and found the hide in the first place we looked. Had one muggle in the distance practicing his 'martial arts', much to the kids amusement. Thanks Parmur for the cache.

found it easily enough with a bit of extra height

After dropping our French exchange student off at the airport at 4.30 this morning, I headed off to find a few caches starting with this one now that it has been re-enabled. I didn't have the co-ordinates on my GPS but knew where to look from my previous attempt a couple of months ago. Easily found at 0450. TFTC.

Nice to be able to sign a nice new logbook.
Location looked obvious on first approach, and nearly got it right. Second attempt gave success. (It just depends on where you are approaching from.
TFTC

All back and hopefully last for a bit longer this time.

Will put it into hiatus until we can think of a new container, as we are running out of the old. Can not figure out why it is so often muggled.
