River Guardians (Canterbury) Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand
By Troodles on 29-May-09. Waypoint GC1RZXA

Yeah, well. No wonder I couldn't find it! - Long gone.

Leaning a big lesson - printed this off before checking it was still there . Wasted huge amount of time on and very hot day - Hated being in this position !Scream

It's gone, so now is a good time to archive and make area available for another cache.

Searched every tree within about 20metres (including little shrubbery) for a good 30 minutes... Couldn't find it!

Searched for ages and ages in every place we could think it could possibly be in and were unsucessfull. Added to my watchlist.

Tried on a Friday afternoon (15-10-10), but WAY too many muggles around so i left with plans to re-visit at a later date. Tried again on night of 7th Nov not realising it had been archived! So this caching business is not just about stealth, it's about speed - clearly!

Nice easy night time cache. Thanks

Nice walk along the river, TFTC!

Found while on a walk around the city centre

Some people can't see the wood for the trees - or maybe they can't see the trees for the wood!

Nice spot - Nice hidey hole

Not many muggles around on a drizzly Sunday afternoon. My number 400. TFTC

Down for the rugby with time for a wee bit of prematch caching.

#4424 22:57 Nice quick one at night. TFTC.

We walked and we walked and the energy levels were definitely going down (I'd swam a km prior to walking). Guardians created images of statues but the GPS took us past the lot. However it was a nice walk and the guardians have loads of character and the hiding place was very clever.

Our first cache in NZ! TFTC

Quick find with badjelly tftc

TFTC - SL
Interesting location - a few running muggles and a kayaking one as well but able to get and replace no trouble.

A few odd looks from the gaggle of teenage girls nearby but a pretty easy find. TFTC

Found while visiting Christchurch - T4TC!

Start of a late afternoon walk through Christchurch. Found quickly, was slightly exposed so looked to cover a little better.

Found as a part of Team McWindeluneX7 as we buzzed around the CBD in the evening, thanks Troodles.

4th find for the day and 4th NZ cache! Quick grab while doing a bit of night caching in Chch.

Thanks for the cache.

Out and about in the dark on our first night in ChCh, and bagged this while RexTrex parked nearby. Thanks Troodles!

nice quick find before heading to the airport to head home.

(205) Another nice easy cache in town.. Can get close to alot of others but far to many muggles around.. TFTC, SL.

Found it during my stay in Christchurch

Found it together with quantaplanckix on the last day of our two and a half month visit to New Zealand.

See q.e.d.'s log. Thank you!

Wazza conned his Wench (Cheryl) and Wenchette (BBTD) into fueling their broomsticks and we all headed 'over the ditch' for a caching holiday.

While the Wench took a few photos of the Wenchette I quickly found the cache and signed the log.

Thanks Troodles.

An early morning jog before lectures at a conference all day.

Hello, logging my personal tracker to calculate distance

Nice. I enjoyed finding this one. Was busy location. TFTC.

Easy find - our third on ANZAC Day

Nice quick nab on the way past. Thanks.

I've been wondering whether you could drive a jetski up this river. It would be fun buzzing under all the bridges.
However you'd probably take out a few ducks who seem to enjoy drifting downstream.
I don't think the local constabulary would appreciate it either.
Nice spot to perambulate. Thanks.

First in a busy day of caching, no problems at this hour of the morning.

quick find with the kids they take the credit for most of todays finds and logs so full of energy and enthusiam got to love it!!

Quick find while on a caching trip in and around Christchurch. SL TFTC

We had surveyors within 5 meters as muggles to contend with, so Mrs Eraserman pretended to retie her shoe laces whilst cache was retrived. No problem at all as cache was actually visible from 10 meters. Hide a bit better when replacing.
TFTC

Lovely spot, had to linger for a while before looking, as lots of muggles about. TFTC

TFTC! nice spot by the Avon

We had a sunny day in the botanic gardens!

Another find for Mrs. Dachs. We spent more time waiting on muggles and giving directions to the punting than we did finding. TFTC.
