I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

Hi bumandworker

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Great spot, cache unable to be located. Unfortunately I didn't have any spare caches today.

Great view but no cache found. Thanks for bringing us to this spot.

We had a good search around but no luck. Has been a clean up in the area.

Unfortunately no cache to be found today. Tree pruning evident. Think it may have gone.

Could not finnd the cache. he GPS kept point me to a particular hide, that is very open and public - unlikely. Checked a number of similar hides out to 20 metres, nothing. I am not really confinced the page coordinates are corrrect, but then I am not convinced the cache is NOT here. I just don't know. Will watch...

A short diversion after a bit of breakfast, as we make our way towards catching the ferry today.
It was well worth the little diversion to see something a little different and interesting. Thanks for showing us this spot bumandworker.

Was exposed covered again tftc

We were enjoying the view on the cliffs, when I thought that there must be a cache here at this nice place. So I wandered around and checked the surroundings when there was something in my sight, that was very unnatural at this place )))))
Found this cache without knowing that there is one. You can always count on caches at sightseeing spots
Thanks for hiding it.

Found this one easy as it was just lying there. Signed the log and rehid it again with some bark. TFTC

Great view, thank you

Email from snapeboatman confirmed there is NOT a problem with the cache, being in correct position.

An unnecessary maintanenace trip avoided.

So often these days since G.C.com "upgraded" the log page with a great big button, every one thinks they have to hit it. Think of the cache owner who has to travel to the cache (may be from miles away) if you do....does that really need happen?

Enjoy the journey

Found it quite easily and as you say not a big step from the car park. TFTC

I am not sure this is the original cache location. It was lying in the open in a crook in a tree, it was certainly not camouflaged or hidden in any way. We put quite lot of bark over it so hope it stays more hidden.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Found it during our stay in New Zealand.

Wow nice cliffs, thanks for poibtibg me to then

By accident as there was no internet service here.. rehid .. took photos and TFTC

29 degrees. Good swell at beach. Tftc

A beautiful view and worth the stop. We drove down into Gore Bay and did the walk passing these amazing cliffs. TFTC

Nice find

Found it easily because it was out in the open. After logging put a nice layer of bark over it. Still easy to find. TFTC.

Quick find on our way home. Tdtc

My very ambitious goal is to clear out enough caches so that I only have 500 caches unfound within 80km of home by the time I go back to work from maternity leave.... but new publishing unfortunately makes that harder!! And with only one week till I return to work, and almost 600 caches within 80km, I don't think I'll find 100 more in that time, but may as well get close!
So today I took annual leave off motherhood, and hubby looked after baby, while mum & I went off geocaching!! Plan was to get the 30-odd caches within 80km of my home that were in a kind- of- bunch up north-ways.

We ended the day with 32 finds, and quite a lot of them had been unloved for months! But came home a little later than hubby was pleased with... oops! Haha I hope he lets me out next time too!

Well, a look here, revealed that yes the cache was out of action. We decided to expand our search area, and look up to around 20m away, just to double check and be sure that it wasn't just a coords issue, but there was definitely no cache. With the road issue, we decided to see if there was anything in the car, and replaced the cache with a pill container that's now been blessed by the CO. We used the obvious cover bark that had been left at GZ so the hint still stands!

TFTC!!

It's been a while since we went for a nice long day of caching with sonia26642, so we decided that it was time to do it! We started nice and early and headed up north to target mainly those neither of us has found, and some odd one one of us has. We had an amazing day of adventures!! We have been signing the logs mostly as Team Polak to save time and log book space Thanks for all the great caches along the way!!!

Could be a wee while before we can check this given the current road situations.....it is on our list.
cheers b&w

Think it might be missing as found the obvious bark lid?

Each and every time we come here we love it - a fav from us. tftc

Found the great view, then the cach, thanks

Awesome view! Thanks for having us stop here. Here with HennyGeo on holidays in scenic New Zealand from Vancouver Island Canada . TFTC.

Here on vacation with SwagHo from Vancouver Island, Canada visiting and geocaching in NZ TFTC.

Quick and easy. Spectacular as always.
Thanks

Quick find TFTC

Out for the annual Boxing Day picnic and decided to pick up a few caches in the area.

A quick find and a stunning view!

Collected this while out and about when we stayed a few nights in Gore Bay.

A quick find while in the area. Thanks.

Great hide & a good description

TFTC came here on a self drive tour of the South Island. Today we drove from Kaikoura to Christchurch via this scenic drive.

Fefe.adrien and I went to Cathedral lookout before to start to walk to the Tweedies gully.
Easy find.
We signed on the logbook with our team name : Lekiprokos.

Tftc

Found it with Ninalila after a walk at Tweedies gully track. Calm place with the sun.

Thank you for the cache and the discovery

We had time to take this side trip today, and so worthwhile! Bellbirds were singing around us while we admired Cathedral Gully. Thanks for this placement b&w.

Got it

It was good to get this park and grab cache as the Cathedral earthcache was going to be my 1000 Cache .Thanks for the cache Bumandworker .

I was too busy admiring the view, Nanzie found the cache, signed and returned it before I even looked at the gps. TFTC

Our recent multi day Canterbury cache raid was so successful we decided to have another one before the holidays finished. Again we got stabbed, prodded, pricked and scraped by the variety of hedges the region is so famous for. And of course we can now hold our breath a lot longer. A skill well worth developing to avoid breathing in part of the road surface every time a vehicle passes. Just over 200 finds were logged this time and a great time was had finding the caches with a variety of shapes, sizes and placements. A big thank you to all COs who made this possible.

With a few more days of holidays left we decided to head south again and find some caches we didn't have time to look for last week, plus some more off the beaten track. This was one of 51 found today.
Thank you to all CO's who made this possible.

Stunning location for a cache.
Goat climbing the cathedrals kept us entertained

Found it whilst on route to Picton for the ferry on Chris's birthday

Great spot for a cache. When I arrived we were the only ones there I spied the cache but couldn't get to start with as lots of cars suddenly turned up. Went back to the car to wait for some to leave then saw another cacher looking at the cache site. Signed log together

Found thanks to the 4 year old grand daughter though she wasn't very stealth like so we found with another cacher

Well worth the stop to see these, yes quite well hidden it you don't know they are there, but now I do!

TFTC

Lively views over the bag and a nice quick find. TFTC

This is where geocaching is really great-taking you to places you would otherwise have missed. We were on our way from Kaikoura to Christchurch and took the detour to Gore Bay where we had a walk along the totally deserted beach collecting little green stones. Then up and around to the view point-what amazing work the elements can do-it's a stunning area. Spent longer here than we expected but well worth it-thanks-a favourite point for the view!

surprise! nice view above the sandy rock formations.
thank you for hiding a Cache here.

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon we got some caching done. Cheers for that one

Beautiful viewpoint,really glad we didn't miss this! TFTC

In New Zealand for 4 weeks. Travel the South Island with our campervan. Of course, we have seen many great places and met nice people.
This cache we go also found.

A quick 24 hour trip away has been planned over the last couple of weeks and Greymouth was supposed to be the destination. Weather forecasts however were not looking too flash so late in the week we changed the booking and decided a night in CHCH was on the cards and let mrs capperz see the change from her last visit 8 years ago, how time flies! On the road at about 6.30 so able to avoid any of the potential traffic snarl ups and see the coast line in its early morning glory, nice. Over the weekend a little bit of caching diversity, plenty of wonderful places visited and a FTF to boot! Really windy day on Friday followed by drizzly rain on the Saturday but the explorers will prevail and sights will be seen, caches will be found!
We were enticed down the road to Gore Bay after some photos appeared on an F B page, those cathedral spire shapes looked awesome and a nice drive was enjoyed. Solved the 2 puzzles down here and grabbed a couple of traditional caches whilst in the area too, well worth turning off the main road to get here.
Awesome place for a cache, and an Earth cache nearby two, twice the fun

Been here before but not in our caching days. Love the view of the cathedral cliffs. The container had water inside so we dried it as best we could. The log was dry though. tftc

Thanks so much, lovely spot as always

Too bad, it was raining so almost no view
TFTC

Visited the lookout today with RuhigBrauner and StiftLeer.
Weather was too bad to see anything but this meant there was no one else around so we could look easily.

TFTC

Found together with Cache-Chriss and RuhigBrauner,
I guess without the rain, we would have had a better view.
TFTH!

We found this cache as part of our Christmas holidays in New Zealand.
Thanks and all the best from Germany!

Ein toller Anblick! Erinnerte uns sofort an die Kathedrale in Barcelona.
Danke sagt das Team um mathepower

Had to wait for 6 adults to climb back over the fence signposted not to climb over due to the cliffs so we could look for the cache. Easy find in a beautiful spot. Cache wet. Dried it out as best as we could. TFTC bumandworker

My eldest son, husband and I headed off on a campervan holiday before Xmas. Our first stop was Gore Bay. This geocache was in an easy to park area but the carpark was full. Thankfully most of the site seerers were on their way back to their cars. What a spectacular view.

A nice spot.

That was our first stop for today and it was beautiful. What a coastal view. Absolutely worth to go there. Thanks to the Owner.

Very cool place. I managed to get here before the sun disappeared.

Found at 06:31 PM - #6086

Quick find after biking up the hill bit of a grind. Staying a couple of days at the camping ground so time to get out and find all the local caches. TFTC

Mega trip to NZ: day 3, alone with my beloved squib. We wanted to drive to Kaikoura and find some caches on our way. My husband noticed sign Scenic route and scenic it was! Thanks for the fun and greetings from Finland.

Found it with Team FIN [janahola, kapeka, laalaa & temyllyl]

We had fun with caching few weeks here in New Zealand. Lots of geocaches and many sort of them too. We saw awesome places, weather was pretty good all the time and people were friendly and polite. Caches were pretty similar like in our home country. Of course there were some exeptions. Nice and really scenary country!

Greetings from Finland

FIN (laalaa, janahola, temyllyl, kapeka) holiday in New Zealand. East coast towards to North Island. Lovely landscape and we had fun.
Greetings from Finland.
Thanks for the cache.

On a geoholiday road tripping to Christchurch MEGA and around beautiful New Zealand. Our four people group (temyllyl, laalaa, kapeka and myself) from Finland used group tag FIN to log the caches.

After the Mega weekend we drove from Christchurch to Blenheim caching on the way. We saw many nice places and caches. Thanks for the cache!

Welcome to MEGA Finland in 5-7 august 2016!

11th day on our geo-roadtrip in New Zealand, and caching our way towards north. Logged using our group nickname FIN with janahola, laalaa and kapeka. We made it to Christchurch, and now it is already to start heading back home, fortunately first driving back to Auckland.

We hadn't planned to come this way but were glad we did. Incredible formations that take no imagination to see how it got it's name. We seem to have struck a void in travellers and muggles in general today, we've hardly encountered a soul at cache locations. TFTC bumandworker, fav from us.

cache find #3793 We found the cache quickly and then took our time at the nearby earthcache. What beautiful views. TFTC.

Out for a day caching with Gullivers Travels54 from Christchurch north along the east coast to Kaikoura. The Earthcache nearby was one of the main reasons for the visit today, however it is not a stop if the cache nearby is not also found. Well we took care of that business without to much fuss, name in the log and all replaced before heading across to take a look at the amazing rock face not far away.

TFTC

Another day parked up at Parnassus so a few more caches in the bag.

Cheers for the cache.

There's some beautifully formed stalagmites here Oh, and a cache SL, TFTC

Found this on the way to Kaikoura, stopped here to see the Cathedral Gully!

No problems here, the landscape is quite impressive. A great day out and about with Karma Reprint. Cheers

Decided to take the scenic way home so detoured via Gore Bay. Is many years since I had been this way, took some great photos of the sea before making our way to visit the Cathedral limestones, they are quite amazing, found they was a cache at the lookout and soon had cache in hand, had a bite to eat before making our way home, great spot for a cache thanks

A great wee spot, so relaxed that we stopped here for lunch.

Found with Mporokosa. A bit slow getting around to log visit. I have been to this area quite a bit in the past as a Cantabrian. Was great to be able to bring Mporokosa here to see an area new to her, TFTC

As we approached Gore Bay, my first time here, Chocochunk told me there's a track called Cathedral Gully. After going for this cache I'm thinking I can't wait to return to Gore Bay and do some hiking! Cool views! Easy find. TFTC.

Beautiful! So pleased we stopped! Log very wet! Temporary log wet, second temp log ok. Signed.
Tftc.

A very impressive spot for a cache!! I left a couple of Canadian flag pins for someone to take.

18220 km from home we found this Cache while our holidays. Thank you very much for hiding and greetings from Dresden, Germany!

Found it. Awesome views over Gore Bay. Tftc

We stopped here for the earthcache closeby and wanting (ofcourse) to get this one too. But...Two bikers were just sleeping under the tree. Maybe if I try a bit quiet....pfff managed

Amazing spot! One far enough from the main road that it would attract the hoards of visitors. TFTC.

Easy find on Christmas Day while on our day trip to Gore Bay. Beautiful spot. TFTC

Nice work by Margydo......and thank you.
cheers b&w

Log very wet have put some more paper in a new plastic bag

Exploring this patch of nz for the first time. Learned something new at this spot today

Heading home after a fun wee family weekends adventure in Kaikoura. Detoured in to Gore Bay - just because we could. Great spot - loved the view and the 'Cathedrals' - fantastic geology and erosion! Cheers.

Out on our first visit to Gore Bay today for G's 40th birthday. Loverly calm, mild autumn day here today. Great view from here. Off to Manuka Bay now. TNLN SL TFTC.
