On the way to church, but somehow - though we are usually late, ended up being unusually early!
Decided to make the most of the spare time, and find my cache for the day!

Wet grass, resulted in wet shoes... but a quick find. Decide to be even more awesome and make more of time by calling mum happy mums day after we found the cache as we were walking back to the car...
I'm good with time!! Razz

Consec caching day # 553

02-Oct-13
Had to wait out some muggles in the playground but then more arrived. Managed to look like I was inspecting the shelter belt, found the cache (no TBs in here) and then maintained my ruse by walking all the way around the shelter belts. TFTC
 
26-Sep-13
On my way out to collect MacPacDad from Burwood Hospital after having ankle surgery and had to basically go past, so seemed rude not to stop. The major roadworks outside made this a little awkward but got there. Scouting is in the MacPacFamily blood being 3rd and 4th Generations in the movement and MacPacDaughter has just got her warrant as a leader so this cache has been on the radar as a must get for awhile.

[blue]Day 31 of our 31 Days of Caching Challenge.[/blue] [purple] We made IT!!![/purple] This was #16 of the 27 we found before the event today.
I was very relieved to see a toilet here *pun intended.* Afterwards the cache was quickly found by Mum while I was still trying to pinpoint GZ. The listed trackables are no longer here and it might be time to mark them missing. Thanks for the cache Smile
 
27-Aug-13
Nice cache

977 - Like previous finders, I looked in a few places before turning up the well hidden stash. With scouts and others in the vicinity I can certainly see the reason for it being so well hidden, and it didn't take too long. I'm loving this nice weather, almost good enough to start thinking about camping.
 
24-Jul-13
Great location! Great hiding spot. Nice park too. My 5yr old really enjoyed doing this one.
 
13-Jul-13
good hiding after we had a look at the broken bees hive Smile

Another one of Aslan*'s caches off the list, I must admit I am enjoying Aslan*'s tiki tour of Christchurch and it's surrounding environs of playgrounds, cemeteries, domains, schools, sports ground and other sundry items. Have never stopped by here even as a kid my mum used to drive to Vegepot to do the weekly vege shop and the egg place across the road. Thanks for placing this cache.

Reperio at 2030.

After a great week was had touring around the South Island with Roostaman...including attending the mega event in Dunedin...we spent today finding some caches in and around this beautiful city of Christchurch. At this time of night...there were no scouts around...or anyone else for that matter. We parked and walked over to GZ where the cache was quickly spotted.

Gratias Aslan*
