Catherine's Cache (Canterbury) Rolleston, South Island, New Zealand
By jakeemon on 06-Jul-08. Waypoint GC1DYEN

As this cache has been out of action for too long and the cache owner has not performed any maintenance, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

We'll have a hunt around for a new film canister and replace this asap.

Had a look today pretty sure it's gone. Was caught by someone while looking who also said they couldn't find it.

Edit: Woops clicked found instead of didn't find.

Went to look for this one again with MeliciaB, but was no where to be found. Definitly not in the place I found it a few months back.

I was back for another look today and had Pokernet with me. Neither of us found this. It may need checking.

I was expecting this to be a very quick park and grab. I found Catherine easily and no, I don't know anything about her. I thought I had a good look at GZ but nothing turned up. Is it still here? This one I will put on the watchlist because I thought I had a good look for it and didn't find it.

Our first ever geocache find and it was easy! I hope the rest are like this!

Another cache to add to our swag as we continue to see how many we can do in a day!

No trouble securing the cache - an easy find.

Second visit here but easy find this time TFTC.

Together with my family on a vacation trip to New Zealand. Starting at Auckland airport on transfer to Christchurch we went for a roundtrip exploring the south island. This was one of many caches we found while visiting so many nice and interesting places thanks to all the caches why I want to send a thank you to all CO for the work spent. TFTC.

Should have been a quick find with the clue but it took longer than it should have. Thanks jakeemon

First Geocache done. Found easily, still there (obviously). Cheers.

Nice wee find TFTC

We were over here for New Zealands first ever Mega Event when we found this neat cache towards the end of our two week caching blitz of the South Island.
What a fantastic two weeks it has been as well, it has been a really neat driving around the South Island checking out the spectacular sceanery, we are in AWE of your back yard, truely beautiful.
Many thanks for the placing the cache.............TNLNSL......................Cheers.

Found during 'The Gangsters' trip to New Zealand, being Big Matt, The Rats, steeba and myself.

Not sure why you would place this here where people need to climb into the garden.

Thanks anyway jakeemon for the cache.

Found as part of the Gangsters- The Rats and Farmer Frentzen- as part of our NZ Mega Event Tour 2012.

Wasn't so sure about having to trample the garden but we got there. TFTC!

Found this cache as part of the Gangster's Aussie assault on the first NZ Mega with Big Matt, FarmerFrenzten and steeba.

Not sure caching was designed to trample through garden beds.
Thanks

Decided to go down to Dunedin to attended the first ever Mega in New Zealand and my first ever MEGA. Managed to work it out so that I was able to team up with -gonefishing-, fozzmiester and agcnz on an 9 day caching trip around the South Island, this was day 8 of the road trip. Today we were making our way form Timaru to Christchurch for the night and picking up a few caches on our way and it was another beautiful fine day.

After finding GC39ZPD - Street lights (Canterbury), this was the next cache that I had on my list that I needed to find in Rolleston on our way towards Christchurch. As we neared GZ, we managed to find a safe parking spot in the parking area not too far from GZ and once we got out of the car it was an easy walk over to GZ, we soon managed to spot the hint object and we soon managed to go where the GPSr was pointing us and once there we had a closer look we soon realised that it was the cache.

Managed to retrieve the cache, signed and then replaced the cache back where we found it. Thanks jakeemon for placing this cache here and for bringing us to this spot, TFTC TNLNSL (5367). Another quick and easy cache, found it quickly.

Now it is time to continue to the next cache on our list as we made our way towards Christchurch for the evening.....

Found as part of an epic NZ Mega Event trip. Day 8 - Timaru to Christchurch in the company of agcnz, -gonefishing- and Yeetrees. Thanks to the owners of the 500 + caches which I had the pleasure to find along the way and which contributed to a very fun trip.

Thanks for the cache jakeemon.

Found on the great post-Mega roadtrip with agcnz, fozzmiester and yeetrees. A great trip from Otago to Wellington, taking in many backroads and some fantastic scenery along to way to over 400 caches. Thanks to all the cache owners for the great caches we found on the way.

Thanks for the cache, jakeemon.

Came here late afternoon on the way from Timaru to Christchurch with fozzmiester, -gonefishing- and Yeetrees. The cache was found quickly - signed log, TFTC!

Found with Bushbaby321 and Coruze on our way home from the Mega.

Crack the Ton! Found with troobloo and Bushbaby321 on our NZ MEGA trip. The views all along our drive have been amazing. The well maintained parks and streets. SL TN Left some PT's along the way. T4TC

Yay!

Found with my sis on 19/10.great find

Reperio at 0845.

Stopped by on the way to Timaru today with Roostaman, and on approaching GZ, we thought it must have been off as it was pointing into the garden area. With no other way to access it, we tip toed through trying not to disturb anything and soon had the cache in hand. The little obelisk was pretty neat, but the cache placement was ideal.

Gratias jakeemon.

Find # 4266 and a total of 84 today with Marcus Vitruvius on the 2nd day of our NZ Mega trip,
on the way south from Christchurch to Timaru. Cache was tattered and a new sheet added.
TFTC jakeemon,
Roostaman.

Found with bogonghazy on day 2 of our short assault of the SI, whilst here for NZ Mega. We cached from Christchurch to Oamaru today, and only a few short showers throughout the day, which didn't deter us from continuing on with a numbers run. TNLNSL. Many Thanks to the CO for placing this cache.

Day two of Sully1's and my New Zealand trip from Christchurch to Dunedin.
Today was only as far as Oamaru, and the weather, once it warmed up, was superb.
A couple of heavy showers throught the day made it feel like home in Victoria.
Thanks jakeemon, felt funny climbing in the garden, but no-one about

Travelling from Christchurch to Timaru today grabbing some caches & exploring this beautiful country on my way to the NZ Mega in Dunedin...

The weather was lovely today. Warm in the car & a cool breeze outside & a couple of showers at times...

Grabbed this cache whilst travelling & taking photos around the area...

Thanks For The Cache jakeemon

A nice sunny morning and we had the cache in hand quickly. TFTC.

1521st cache found by WazzaAndWenches.

Waz and the Wenches are caching from Akaroa to Lake Tekapo via the Thompson's Track power trail today.

With more than 100 finds for the day we're all too slack to write an individual log for each cache. In fact, our cache logs may have also been shortenened to "W+W, BBTD" just to save our writing hand from suffering RSI

Even though we haven't written detailed logs, we still wish to say thank you, jakeemon, for placing the cache.

Found at 3:47:00 PM. We decided to do a few caches in the outer suburbs this afternoon, much more relaxing than fighting traffic in the city.

Thanks jakeemon

Nice and easy find just had to wait for no cars to be at the corner.

TFTC

Found in the company of the Walenators as we start to make our way south to Dunedin having spent the night in Christchurch. TFTC

Muggles everywhere. In cars in four direction, walking, walking the dog. A quick jump into the garden and grab, sign, then wait for an opportunity to put it back again. Glad that one is out of the way.

TFTC stealth alright!

TFTC stealth required!

got it

Finally!!!!! X 10,000,000. This is visit .. 6? Always something wrong. But not this time. Phew.
Thank you for placing this cache.

Out and about in the late afternoons sunshine. Not so busy so was able to time my retrieve & replace between cars. Great wee spot. Thanks.

a quicky....

Nice and easy to find cache, thank you

Nice quick find

Found just on dusk without any difficulty.

Easy find
TFTC

Basic cache.
Found quickly throughout the broken glass.

Had a scout around, but no dice.

TFTC

Finally we got it, have been here a few times, found it among the glass in a place we are both sure we have looked before.

A good cache to hunt for at night. Was in the area for a FDF on the new cache and thought I'd give this another go as the CO has done some maintenance lately. The cache was quickly found, but the hint does not reflect where I found the container.

Thanks for the find, eventually!

Quick find by the kid in our party

Great find for nath tftc

Found it

Good spot,
TFTC

chriron

Great hide. Be careful of the broken glass. TFTC!

Great thanks. Watch for broken glass.

Found part of the original log so added into the cache.

Easy find during a nice bike ride TFTC

good quick find

Almost gave up but had one last look and found it. This is a very muggly spot. Thanks for replacing the cache. TFTC (416)

An easy find. Thanks for replacing the cache.

Being a D1/T1 cache, it is unlikely it is still there after all these DNFs. It is also unlikely this cache is going to be fixed up given the owner's history. http://coord.info/GC1K9KM http://coord.info/GC1E81P http://coord.info/GC1AF1W and in the last week http://coord.info/GC1B9FH

Just been to site and replaced cache. Due to plant growth in the area since original placement, it is now about 20cm away from where it was first hidden. The clue reflects this.

Ditto.

Not happy to have to climb on the garden and it was way too exposed being on a busy road and surrounded by cars.

Quick look but no find.

Second time back today and did a good amount of gardening, it ain't there!

Searched hi & low without success.

A long string of DNFs

Nice area and hide - lots of muggles about today TFTH

I think this may have been muggled - no sign of it

I didn't find it!

Maybe this is a better nighttime cache. Too many people around today

Quick glance. But not too much time - too many muggles.

No luck today, didn't stay looking for long.

To many muggles around to find.

Had to flag it. Too many mugs. I did spot the hedgehog tho. It looks like he had a bad week.

Quite an easy find.
TFTC

TFTC. Had to choose ethe right moment to gahter in the cache as lots of Rollestonian's out walking today.

Tftc

Had to work hard to avoid muggles on busy road, but managed in the end. TFTC

Switchbladenz found a toy croc, Maybe that was Catherine? TFTC

The final find of the day in rolle, hedgehog is still there, and I stabbed myself on his spines, they hurt!
Tftc!

opposite mates house, who didnt know it was there, good wee hidey corner

A busy corner, but soon had cache in hand. TFTC

Was quite a busy place, hard to maintain stealth. Otherwise a well hidden cache. TFTC

Unfortunately couldn't find today. If anyone gets hungry someone left a sandwich there!

Maybe Catherine is the dead hedgehog in the garden nearby? TFTC.

Log wet and falling apart. No sign of a plastic bag. Urgently needs attention.

Needs a new log in a plastic bag.

Found whilst out for a walk on what was a hot sunday afternoon.
