The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 21 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Tried to find this one on the way back from Great Grandad Farm. We were hoping for a quick find before watching a horse riding lesson. Lots of great hiding spots at the described location, but no joy Sad

Count us in the list of DNF - mind you we hate rotten trees and flax and we are rubbish at finding so the virdict is out on this one

Had a nice chat to the cows Smile

Easy find with badjelly.
 
13-Jun-10
Easily located, Watched over by grazing cattle on the roadside. Were they Anguses?
 
04-Jun-10
A very quick find. It is visible from a few metres away; given there is only one access direction past the ditch. I have posted a maintenance log as going by earlier logs it may not be in the original position. TFTH.

Great spot. Not too hard.
 
03-Jun-10
As in my "found it" log. This cache sticks out like the proverbial. It is not in keeping with some really early log comments.
 
30-May-10
Found this one on ground level, very exposed and with no cover. Could owner please check the correct location of the cache? Thanks
 
08-Apr-10
we thought it had gone but then found it.

No wind in the willows, no water in the ditch, no problem for Mr KE.

#1636 First find of the day. I notice a trend in NZ on this trip to hide micros in places where a regular box would fit.

I was still deciding on the safest route to the cache, when StreetWalkerNZ (who is more nimble than me) found it, so he brought it back to me to sign.

Making the approach was the hardest part. Great weather Cool #942

It was good to get back on the bike again after a week of caching by vehicle. Nice ride from Kaiapoi. Took me a few minutes to home in on the container. Thanks for the cache guys.
