Toes of an Ent (Canterbury) Addington, South Island, New Zealand
By Gyargh on 25-Jan-09. Waypoint GC1M4AR

As there's been no cache to find for some time, 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 were idiots - my young son got the location but did not write down it was unavailable - scream !!

Aaah. That explains why we were only extracting leaves from the toes. The cache was long ago disabled. Stunning area for a walk anyway.

Needs to be checked again

6 DNFs in a row ... can it please be replaced or archived to avoid it showing up in search results so cachers don't go looking for a cache that isn't there

Had a very good look, but reading the previous logs it looks as if it should be archived.

didn't find it.think its been muggled. good spot though

Had a good look but couldn't find it...

Had a real good hunt around and I think this one has been muggled also. We will be back though.

stuck our hands everywhere but didn't find a thing. must be missing something. will be back

no luck here

The first find of our South Island holiday. Netty and I arrived here on bicycles to haev a look around Hagley Park. TFTC.

Many people passing!!
TFTC from Belgium

Nice location thanks

Cool find. Awesome hiding place with lots of muggles around. TFTC

Found with Ironthule.

The last cache of the evening, and luckily it was dark enough to make us less obvious to the passing traffic. We had to feel further up its toes than we expected, but eveentually found it. What amazing trees you have in this park!

found on a huge day of caching with about 10 teen agers. they were getting an introdutuion to walking long distance and finding hidden treasures. once found they all had turns at signing the log book . there were a couple of kids from overseas. we were in Christchurch for the St John international youth festival, held in and around chch in cluding Hanmer springs

nice easy cache TNLNSL

First of 6 on my way home - I was rather apprehensive at first but then realized no poisonous things in NZ - spent quite a while here last time with no luck (42) TFTC glad to get this one done.

9/13 found while down in CHCH for the Phoenix. Nice and easy. Woah. Huge. No geocoin GO THE PHOENIX!!

Nice day, good hide! Took soap, left Disney Princess. TFTC

Found with 3 friends. No longer muggles. Brand new geocachers!!

This was hidden quite well. It took me a while to find the right tree and some misleading things like stones around a certain area of the tree placed by a fellow cacher or perhaps just a muggle. There was a reasonable amount of muggle activity and I had to wait until the path was clear. Overall very good!

Torch helped!

Great find. Will move the TB's along to a new location!!

Digesting the yetlag coming from the Netherlands found this one on a stroll in the park.
Nice hide out.

In: coin and TB

Easy find, nice place. Thanks

Nice hide, lots of muggles, but managed to get it ok. - geocoin TFTC

Quick easy find, TFTC

This tree looks really as one imagines an Ent! Surprisingly, it was not a different species in the Botanical Garden, but the Ent probably gets bored from time to time and walks to a different place.
In: Poffertjes Event Geocoin

Thank you very much for the cache,
Spielwolf

Playing with our new etek, which took us right to the spot. Found easily. TFTC

Cool hiding spot TFTC

took a bit of finding, finally grasped by one of the greater HC cousins, also down from auckland.

Also spotted a large (20mm long) iridescent black beetle I had never seen before.

TFTC

Well hidden, long arms required for this one. TFTC

Very nice hide and the title of this cache says it all. Thx for this cache and greetings from Germany, Team Loopi

Great hiding place

Lovely cache. Thank you. Was visible at the right angle so covered slightly with leaf litter.

Came here about a week ago after work, but there where to many muggles around, all clear this time.

Cheers.

Great site TFTC took TB

Found with Salian

First find in the hagley park area while out with my family on bikes. Took TB, left Geocoin. TFTC

Amazing! Never saw a root like that!

Great little hiding spot, stealth required near busy part of park. Cheers for the hide.

thanks for the cache took GC Earthday

Nice cache in beautiful park, TFTC.
Greetings from Slovakia.

left TB at this site forgot to log it in

this one is the right one lol

fogot to log this personal coin

Yes My first find in Newzealand

dropping off Coins

Cache replaced with new container and log book. The old one was almost full anyway!

Big thanks to The-Organist for the heads up

Wow, didn't realise it just got replaced today! Always too many muggles around for my liking so it was great to have a chance to find it tonight. Quick, easy find. Thanks Gyargh

Found with ease, but the presence of Muggles made its retrieval difficult, similarly the replacement. Removed Travel Bug. Found but left Geocoin.

I'm on it. Will check and fix ASAP

Cache completely exposed and scattered in pieces on my arrival. Found a few pieces and signed logbook and replaced as best I could. Muggles meant couldn't retrieve everything, so some pieces outside of cache under toes.

Box only has one clip left. No sign of trackable. Needs checking.

After battling for some time to find "Arms of an Ent" (which we notice has since been disabled), we managed to find this one quite quickly. But, what is an
Ent??

My final N.Z.cache before returning to Ireland. Dropped off aTB and a Geocoin.
Good luck.

Cool hide, found after the Garden Party event, with Yeetrees and maklacycle. Many thanks Gyargh, nice to have met you at the event.
TNLNSL, TFTC

Found with YuGeo4 and maklacycle after the event Cachers Garden Party, this was a quick find after standing there for a few seconds and thinking about it and realising that it could only be in one spot, COOL tree now that I know what an Ent is, thanks Gyargh, great meeting you at the event TFTC TNLNSL (1175)

Great little hiding spot. I have developed a cautious approach to such places and was pleased to spot this one before reaching for it.
TFTC

A few muggles about so I had to wait to put the cache back. TFTC

Good place! Found with Yeetrees and YuGeO4
