It looks like the power of the Ring has made this one vanish yet again so have decided to put this one to bed. Thanks to all those who have visited - Aslan
Very nice spot in the evening, but alas no cache for me. The gz was complete with its own waterfall tonight, not an ideal spot to search in work clothes... Hope the shoes will dry by the morning... I searched all potential hiding spots I could see and feel, I will be back!
Been here three times now and still can't find this one!! Driving me insane haha
Great wee hide, lovely park, always nice to get a cache or two on my morning walk TFTC
Tftc first cache in NZ for us. We were sneaky and don't think the shopper muggles saw us! Cheers from Sweden
Yay found it, took a while to work out how to search for new coordinates but got there in the end. Nice early Xmas pressie for the kids and I to be the first in the new log book tftc

We tried to look inconspicuous while randomly looking in trees with all the muggles around. We had a pretty good look though but had to leave dur to time constraints. Thanks anyway.
Was here for a while with my sister in law ....but no luck ..will be back ....must be a great hide!!!!
My phone gps took me in circles....plus not sure what height it is from what loggers have been reporting....

We got some food at the shops then thought we would attempt this geocache. with three of us searching it was not found.
parislaura, Team jacob and I flew to New Zealand for the 2015 Mega.

to keep me on my toes

Found with treasure hunting Tim while on a brief visit to chch from hawkes bay. Many years ago we came to a church picnic at this park. Tftc
needed to go to barrington mall for paper plus and had a few moments to spare so decided to find a cache. luckily, this one was super close. heaps of people in the playground so it took a lot of stealth but i managed to get it signed. thank you. 
Definitely higher than 2 ft off the ground and my GPS was a little off but just thought logically about where it might be and found it tftc
tftcTook us about 10 seconds. If you can't find it, think about where you would hide it. Definitely not 2 ft off the ground. Much higher. TFTC

We found the cache easily, but it was sopping wet. We removed the disintegrating log and the wet snaplock bag replacing them with a new bag and strips of paper for logs. We did not have an official geocache info sheet so the CO may want to add that at some point.
As this cache is devoted to Gandalf and quotes the poem about the One Ring we added the Ring. Readers of The Lord of the Rings will know that picking up the One Ring is not a good idea. Better leave it safely hidden...

Didn't have much time to look here and was hard to have a proper search as there were a lot of muggles! Will have to try again another day
Ciaran Logan and I made the most of the sunshine and went for a wee afternoon walk. First of 3 finds for the day. Some beautiful trees in this park.
Another playground we bring the grandchildren to when we are down here on holiday though it has been destroyed by vandals recently. I hear that local businesses are getting together to replace it. Thanks for the cache.
Sorry, a bit late in logging this but I found it and this park was one of my locals many years ago
We parked in car park and looked directly at this one and I said to hubby it's in there let look but God was telling us somewhere else good luck everyone perfect place for a cache .
An easy find, it was just a matter of patience in waiting for muggles to move away from near GZ so I could go sign the log. tftc
Mr W was able to do a sneaky while the children played on the playground! TFTC.
My GPS was leading me to another spot but as I was about to leave I thought this would be the perfect spot to hide the cache so I looked, and there it was!
TFTC!
TFTC!
Found just on dusk, but still had to loiter whilst a young Mugglet and her mother played in the park.
Easy find as cache was pretty exposed. I hid it a lot better when replacing. Little hobbit enjoyed the playground. TFTC!
Actually my son found it. Yay my our first cache! Nana.helen has me hooked. Does this mean I now have a new hobby?

Today I rode my bicycle through Christchurch. I was able to discover many beautiful spots and find geochaches. Thank you to each of the owners for the hide geocaches.
Spent this lovely day driving around Christchurch finding caches! Lots of muggles in the park but we were able to find a quiet moment to sign the cache. Thanks!
