Custard Square (Canterbury) Cust, South Island, New Zealand
By Moneydork on 30-Oct-08. Waypoint GC1HP04

Checked on the cache. It seems to be missing.

Searched for about 20 minutes without any luck, another for the dnf list.

No luck for us here today.
Nice park though.

Used both sets of co-ords, including hints but couldn't come up with the cache at either site! Pity...

Second time looking even with the coords log by another. Ho Hum. The Italian Job was here.......! Our blog www.motorhominginxs.blogspot.com

Looked and looked. Nothing to be found. Hint was not very helpful.

maybe change hint and update the cords a previous finder submitted -

Nice area - liked this area.

TFTC - found after reading the logs.

last time we were here, it was humming, today, all quiet. The temp log is fine for a while.

Sorry to tell you but it's been muggled again!!!!!!!!!! Spent half an hour looking in bushes, trees, and stream and flax bushes . Did find a pencil at the co-ordinates . I presume from the muggeled cache. Best you check it out. TFTC.

Hunted high and low in the bushes for this cache and eventually found it open and exposed. Sorry to say that it had all been muggled. Suspect it was children cause the geocoin was still there so have taken it. Have left a temporary notepad and a few swops to keep the cache going. Will need a new notepad soon as did not have much spare paper. No Pencil in cache Sorry. Have relocated the cache in an area with a little more ground cover. New Co-ords are 43 18.592 172 22 315 [in flax bush - SORRY]

Had a very nice meal at Route 72 then went on to find "The custard square" An easy find with only one person watching a child in the play area. TFTC

Dog walking muggles in the area, but they headed in the opposite direction and we ducked in to get the cache. We would debate the correctness of the hint, but we found it quickly anyway. TNLN TFTC

Found this one on 2nd try. located the area on first visit but too many muggles kept turning up ! one would leave and another arrive immediately,, so we gave up and went & found another.
came back later in the day and found the cache

Apparently we were just ahead of Woolfienz and we had the park to ourselves.But a little open plane with two muggles inside circled over head so we gave them a cheery wave.Left a Diabetics Geocoin TN TFTC.

Busy day for this cache today!! Incedible spot to stop off even without the cache to find. Travel bug on the move, placed in the Rangiora area

found this droped off a tb

Easy find on a freezing cold day.What a lovely little town.Had a picnic lunch here.

Had lovely picnic,finished just in time as getting very cold.Added Red Gem.

I just loved this town could live here quiet easiely loved the Fairy Shop, had a picnic at Playgrounds, it was lovely and sunny then turned cold as we were leaving great spot and safe for children.

The nearby toy library was open and very busy but we managed to sneak in and out of the bushes undetected

Great little spot. Would be good with kids. TFTC

Nice easy find. I have never stopped in that town before so it was nice to somewhere new. Thanks

Bit of a challenge at night Cache was easy once approached from the right direction. Cheers Gav [3878]

Out for a ride in the bleak winter conditions. Had been planning to find this one for some time! Container is full to the top. TN LN tftc.

Nearly gave up on this one, but took just more more look.

Cheers

Great little spot. Ground really boggy at the moment so best to park in the carpark and walk a few meters rather than muddy up the park.

Wotefa came up with this one after taking the plunge into the bushes.

Must have been following NZTIKES around all day,as we found another log entry of theirs

This was an easy found. But playing children made it a wee bit difficult, but they were more interested in the playground. TFTC

Quick grab a bit of frost on the lawn.

Many Thanks Bitsprayer

This wasn't the quickest of finds but got there in the end. It was a very popular park today for all ages. tftc (539)

Had a stroll in the local store/cafe/giftshop & purchased vege seeds which we were thinking of getting mail order from North Island.Thought it was very quiet with no local children at the pre-school this afternoon, which made it easy to retrieve the cache. (#397, 2/10)

#646 (8/9 on a North Canterbury sweep). Quite a bit of foliage and a few muggles around, so soon resorted to hint, and quickly had cache in hand. A nice reserve. TFTC.

First visit to Cust, despite having lived in Canterbury for many years.

This was the 2nd cache on today's cycle ride from Fernside. After traveling by the back road route to the BeenSeekers' new cache on Kennedy Hill Road it was a relatively quick ride with a nice tailwind to Cust. The very full cache was quickly found in the very nice community area. Swapped out the holey plastic bag for a fresh one and left the C Croc TB, who wants to get to Fraser Island, Queensland. T4TC Moneydork. Now into the headwind all the way back to Fernside. Cheers.

TFTC. TNLN.

Not too difficult - enjoyable hunt.

Discovered the cache and lost the kids in the great playground. Must find more with playgrounds attach for the weans. Have to take the travel coin to release on our next adventure.

Easy find in a lovely park for the kids. WARNING: take care on the inclined strawberry ride. My wife discovered the secret of perpetual motion and had to be rescued from centrifugal hell.

Found Hogwild Recordnut's World Famous Travelling Geocoin (TB23J4G) in River Oulook (GCA1B2) and placed it in Custard Square. The geocoin is currently logged to be in the hands of Janaemdu but we found it in a cache.

A drive to Rangiora then on to Cust netted our first bag of caches for the new year. Old Boots and Rosie enjoyed the hunt. TFTC

Great cache loved it - TFTC

Found while out with Aslan* & co.
Love the cache. Took geocoin (11788).
TFTC

Found with Navleader - nice spot and far enough from the muggle playground to be safe (if we weren't outed by some muggle dogs!)

TFTC

Last try for the day before heading home. Well positioned to find even with a few muggles about - their dogs would have liked to take more interest in us but they responded to their owners whistle. TNLN TFTC

2332. What a lovely spot for a summer picnic - and a super playground as well. We will have to remember this spot and visit sometime with the whole family. The grandchildren will love it - well only one is old enough to love it at the moment but they will all grow in time!

We left two geocoins in the cache.

Thanks
Iris & Rodney

Had some spying to do in the area so swang in for a cache and some play time in the park. TNLN

I couldnt let Grandalf be the only one to log this cache lol. A lovely wee spot for a cup of tea and a cache of course, left a nice collectors spoon. many thanks Bo

Took a few minutes to find. Went to the cafe and gift shop around the corner and even saw a custard square! TFTC

Exceptionally good placing - as I just happened to be passing that way, so the FTF was a bonus. And it's is a lovely location - better than many city developments. I had the company of a local puppie that scampered round my feet at GZ. Thanks and cheers from Grandalf(1444)
