Will add my name to the growing list of DNFs. Couldn't even spot anything that resembled the hint within cooee of indicated GZ. Just a flying visit so maybe with more time it would have turned up.
No luck for us tonight as we liked time before our movie. Maybe better luck light.
Well, geo-son and geo-me had a good look on a fine Sunday afternoon. Kids and minders were at the playground across the way, but a large tree between us generally hid our suspicious looking operation around the GZ. Felt around in all obvious parts, but came up empty. Will come back another time.
I've driven passed so many times but it's either been muggle central or I've been on "family time" and no caching allowed 
. Today the stars are aligned. Cache was a little elusive, I looked there three times before actually seeing it

Nice wee cache at yet another wee Chrichurch park. The place across the road is looking a bit worse for wear. TFTC
This was the tenth day of my fifteen day trip to go to the Christchurch Mega, and the first day of the Mega, so I was out with kyb3r, IF and mtbikeroz picking up the Lab caches and others. TFTC.
In the area finding caches that sound interesting near the last find, MBO found this quickly.
[green] Today has to be one of the worst gecaching experiences of my life. very cold wind this morning, by lunchtime I had just 7 finds, most of which are my least favourite type, and about 12-15 DNF/abandons. At that point I gave up and headed home to do something else. Read a book. Watch a movie. Anything else! In contrast, for the last four days I found an average of 45 caches per day.
Found on the way home. Hope this means I haven't totally lost my mojo!

What a grand house Elmwood was, a pity it was demolished. But back to the present and the cache. We no sooner arrived when the GPS had had enough caching for the day and went flat. The iPhone took us to a possible GZ then changed its mind . . . not quick enough, MrG had already found the cache with the hint. TFTC looking4thebroc.
Mr W made the find with the little ones this morning while Mrs went to an appointment. The kids loved hooning in the park. All in order here. TFTC.
Yeah nice cache I was in chch for one week so while my brother went and played volleyball I went out caching

Found in the pouring rain with treasure hunting Tim. On our way to the airport to head back to hawkes bay. Tftc
We pulled up, parked up and had this baby before we knew it. Looks like a group exercise class was going on in the park TFTC
Found on a night time bike ride during the chilly Christchurch winter. Never been to this part of town before. Made a quick find by torchlight. TFTC
Thanks for bringing us to this park today. We had a walk around the neighbourhood before hitting the playground. The locals seem to like their imposing 6ft high fences and electronic gates around here! Tftc!
Another nice park in this scenic city. Thanks for the cache. Nice trout in the nearby creek!!
Cache not on intended spot but found very close have placed back correctly. Will email CO with pic as forgot to bring a pen 
Mrs Nalawod spotted the hiding spot - well done, her! Good hide. (Done over Easter, but forgot to log once home and busy again)
After looking at the places obvious to me, some further searching was required, but it wasn't long before I discovered this sneaky little hide. TFTC
#917: My last day in Christchurch. And with help of a friend with a dog, it didn't seem so suspicious to be roaming around in the bushes. Good find. TFTC!
Found it easily second attempt, but forgot my pen. 5th find now. Think I am getting the hang of geocaching.
Was at this park for older sons' football game. Youngest son was a bit down so we went and found a cache together. Very cheeky hide.
While we were waiting for muggles Mum and I stood and read the sign including counting how many of each letter there was. I love acting like a spy when I am caching. Thanks for the cache.
Had to pick up some trademe stuff just down the road and needed a cache today so this one was the obvious choice. Plenty of cars going by but no walkers. Good spotting by Chelzea had cache in hand in quick order. TFTC
Had to wait for the muggles and their pets to leave, luckily we had junior cacher with us, so played at the playground a while. Must confess while waiting I did read the 'hint'. Found, signed, returned. Thanks for the cache.
Nice and easy find, especially given the horrible weather that lasted for the whole day. TFTC!
Quick find early afternoon while passing by to visit Dad. Had to be a bit mindful of a muggle standing at the bus stop on the other side of the road, but fortunately a bus happened along and whisked him away leaving the coast clear for the search, signing and return. TFTC
Skipped school to find this cache. It's going to need a new log book soon though! TFTC
