The Sunnier Seat in Ashcroft (Canterbury) Burnside, South Island, New Zealand
By crigsfamily on 30-May-09. Waypoint GC1T25K

Not going to be able to get a replacement cache any time soon, so will free up space for someone else.

It is missing. Will need to get a replacement. Sorry, back up and running soon.

Couldn't find it. First DNF today.

An elderly couple arrived and kept looking at me as if they wanted the sunny seat so I stealthily returned it. Thanks

Day 69 for consecutive caches, the only one today its to wet. TFTC

Quick find on a wet and windy morning. TFTC.

Nice cache, quickly found.

Thanks for the cache!

Was passing this little park on my way to a locum job and realised there was a cache here that had eluded me once before. It had obviously fallen and got lost in the leaves because this time I found it straight away. Nice nano. Tftc

Nice easy find especially for this type of cache!! TFTC SL

Caught out by a muggle.. although he kindly helped locate the missing cache with a magnet.. it was not where it was meant to be.. instead was among the leaves.. placed back to where it should of been.. hopefully easier for next cacher..tftc.

An easy find on a sunny afternoon. The young fella enjoyed the swing in the park.

cute little park, TFTC

Found with Wii P and Mr Fitch. Good clue, nice wee park and tiny log! TFTC.

Smallest log I'be ever seen I had some help from Mr fitch TFTC

Sun was going down. Just dropped my daughter to a friend's for a sleep over. So had a quick look to see if there was a cache near and of course there was as I'm still a junior at this game. Quick pick up. Tftc

Quick find when being on bike ride, its been sunny but spot in shadow. TFTC. I love these containers;)

Concluded our business in the next street over and decided to collect this cache while in the area. Located after a short search. And again another wee park that we didn't know existed. TFTC.

A quick visit on a sunny Saturday morning. As mentioned by other cachers the tree does restrict the amount of sun that reaches the seat. But it is, just, the sunnier one. TFTC.

I think the branch needs a trim. Sunny and deserted for a quick find while killing time

Our first cache. Happened to be in a park 2 doors down!

Had a little sit on the seat taking in the autumn sun. TFTC

Yep. It was obvious. Tftc.

Replaced the log sheet

Fast find. New log sheet please. Tftc.

Found it this was our second try. The first time it was only the second cache we'd ever looked for. But found it easily this time. Log book full. Tftc!

I got to the park to find some other people there. Luckily they had decided to sit in the shade. TFTC

A quick find on the sunnier side of the park. TFTC

After work, dropped my friend who was back off home at the airport, and then tried to look for a cache. Miserably failed there though. And so it being flat dinner time soon, I just needed a nice quick easy as one to find so I could be home for the meal. (I know they woud have saved me some, but there is just something nice about sitting down as a wee family and eating food )

Parked down the side street, and hopped out the car to try and find this cache. Spotted the seat very fast, and then had the cache in hand too instantly, as noone else was around in the park to make my searching tough

TFTC!!

It took a while to find. Tftc

Nice wee hide, I like these ones

Quick find once some muggles left. Thanks

This day we stay in Christchurch – it is a very nice place here. Also we visited this great Cache TFTC

We found this day on our last day in New Zealand while we still had some time until checking in at the airport.

Thanks for this cache!

The location was obvious, but still took quite a few looks until it was staring at me in the face. TFTC!

COOL CACHE

Found it on a quiet Sunday morning with help of two young grandsons. Lovely little park.

cache was found very quickly but managed to slip through my fingers and onto the ground. With all the leaves on the ground it took me longer to find it again than it did to find it in the first place. Must be time to go home soon.

Found with Canadian visitors

Have replaced the Log. All good to go.

Quick park & grab while on the way to work this morning. A very pleasant wee park indeed. The log book is indeed full...sorry didn't have a spare with me. TN:LN:SL. TFTC...crigsfamily. # 258 for us.

Tftc

Log is full needs replacing

TFTC

No one here today, quick find now off for a sea saw tftc

Easy found it during my day off before next trip around south Island with
my clients . T4TC and greatings from Czech republic

Reperio at 1015.

With only one full day left in New Zealand before I had to leave to head back to Oz tomorrow, Roosta and I spent the entire day caching (much like every other day I guess), and stopped by this morning to grab this one. With the sun shining, there was definitely one seat that was sunnier, but the coords were good so there was only one choice anyway. We sat down with the cache in hand, but then had to wait as an elderly woman walked past not once...not twice...but three times...no doubt trying to work out which way she needed to go. Once the coast was clear, we replaced the cache and left.

Gratias crigsfamily.

Find # 4826 and a total of 65 today with Marcus Vitruvius, on our NZ Mega trip.
Another day of Mega caching around the Christchurch suburbs and city.
Another nice cache and hide and then on the way again.
TFTC crigsfamily,
Roostaman.

After dropping the geodaughter at the motel we proceeded to grab a few caches before dinner. We arrived at GZ to find a couple of newbie cachers fossicking in the bushes. The next thing we know Wal says "found it". We then proceeded to teach the newbies about nano's. TFTC.

Found late in the afternoon, meaning I had the wrong seat at first
Found after a short hunt. Thanks crigsfamily

With the rental car dropped off and checked into our airport motel, we went for a wander to fill in some time, and grab a few last caches before heading back home. This was a nice quiet little park, neither side was sunny this afternoon though!

First of hopefully a big heap of caches on our way to the Mega event with Sully1.
A 4am start in Oz eventually found us here about 12hrs later.
A nice quick find in a beaut little park, thanks crigsfamily

First find in Christchurch (this trip) after landing mid afternoon with bogonghazy. On arrival at GZ it wasn't hard to spot the Sunnier Seat, and the cache was then quickly in hand, without a muggle in sight.
Thanks for bringing us here crigsfamily and for the cache. Log is pretty much full.

Well Well Well, this was our first find in N ZED, less than 30minutes after clearing customs.
On a two week tour of the south Island and a MEGA event in between, geocaching and touring have never looked so good.
With Two seats in the area Lostmonster had the GPSr in hand and told Co the seat "Over there is GZ"...... Co made the dash to the decoy seat, as Lostmonster casulay found our first N ZED cache.
Thanks to crigsfamily for the cache, and the decoy seat.............lol.
TNLNSL.................Cheers.

Arrived in town late yesterday and spent time adjusting to the time difference correction and meals. Left our hotel this morning aiming towards Oamaru via some caches. This was the first for the day. Arrived at GZ and found the sunnier seat and quickly completed log. Gardeners arrived just as we were leaving. TFTC.

Out for a lunchtime walk and thought there might be a cache here. Didn't have a pen on me to write in the log.
Thanks for the cache

This one was on our list to visit during our 36 hour cache raid of Canterbury. Quick find with no muggles in the park TFTC.

RuruNZ did a runner on me this week so decided to collect some of the ones she has already done. The seats aren't in the sun anymore as the tree debris covered them especially the gum trees however the cache is still able to be located.

TFTC

Not very sunny today !

Felt a bit strange to be out night caching in the snow but good fun!
Many thanks

On a flying day business trip to Christchurch, and the snow came down… airport closed, rebooked flights in the morning, found a room for the night… had dinner and fellow workmate Zorgon said “lets do some caches”… Gotta be the silliest thing one can do, caching with the rental vehicle in roads covered with deep snow, in the dark, wearing business clothes.. but we found this one – many thanks for the hide, this looks like a very nice park, and the seat is probably very tranquil – a major branch had topped under the snow above it, but hopefully when it melts the branch will spring back up again – we did enjoy the break from our stressful day. It took us another full day at the airport to get out of the city though.

Very clever !

I love "Bänkli" caches! Although we had to move to the other side for sun. TFTN!

Replaced Log. All in good order.

cool cache, easy to find.

Tftc on way to airport need new log sheet

It was already dark by the time we made it here so looked with our hands not our eyes. Nearly immediate find, took longer to replace the log which is full so needs replacing. TFTC

Out caching with gracie7 + Mum. Really quick find. needs new log

nice park, last find for the day before returning to Hamilton, good caching day. TFTC

Last one for the day- on way to airport. Sun was too far down to help here- but a quick find none-the-less. TFTC

TFTC not to hard to find

My first find

Found.
nice little spot.
We had dinner here before heading back home to the Coast.

First nano, SL, left large stuffed animal, yeah right. TFTC

First find on the 29th, a special day. No muggles for a change

THIS is my 100th cache! (Yay, party, small streamers.) Not a bad way to finish of my first hundred, it's a lovely park and I've grown very fond of these nano caches. They turn up in some VERY odd spots! TFTC

found in today's the day's search cache. Everything I went through on foot, in the city and in nature, and thank you for the interesting places in New Zealand. Greeting from the Czech Republic

Nice and quiet early morning find.
Tftc

Making the most of our finds before we catch the plane home to OZ tomorrow TFTC

Nice quick find.

Quick easy find. Ran into a fellow cacher. Tftc

Met a couple of fellow geocachers from Aussie who soon had me on the right path... well not quite path eh?

nice easy find

Overcasts today so I took the closest one to me, thanks for this one.

TFTC

Great cache! Thanks very much. Log book is now full!

Changed the log after work tonight. All good to go.

We not only stopped for the seat but also the see-saws and the swings! A nice spot and a large slippery dip. TFTC!

Found at 15:15.

A beautiful Spring day, and a sweet little park. The place should have been packed. Not a soul around though, so a quick and easy find.

Thanks crigsfamily

This one was my last find while visiting New Zealand. It was a nice pleasant one too. Not a muggle to be seen while I "beseated" myself and did the deed. The cache is in good condition (5-6 more spots left in this one). A very pretty little area. TFTC crigsfamily

Great little cache. Luckily I was the only one there so a nice quick find. TFTC

Put my hand straight on it

TFTC

Oops, forgot to log this one. Minime found pretty quickly. TFTC

Quick grab prior to departure for UK via Singapore.
Nice camo job, missed it on 1st look but knew it was on that side so had another look and Bingo!
TFTC

Easy find.

#578: Sunny Smilie!


I biked to this one before work today, thinking that I should make my daily find before the real rain started (as opposed to the light drizzle that was falling when I went out). Jumped off the bike at GZ, and hunted in and out of the trees until I re-thought the hide (and re-red the cache page!), and was able to lay my hands on the container. One one muggle passerby during my time in the park.


SL/TFTC!

Quick find with Mporokosa. Not sunnier at our time of day but would have been earlier. TFTC

The second of the day with same size and positioning of cache, so this was pretty easy.

Tried without gps but needed it in the end. Tftc
