After a debate I decided not to replace this container yet again and to free up the area for a new hide by another.

Have each post a good going over. No joy. Has it been muggled?

Will check on this one.

Unlucky this time around, maybe will look again!

Unlucky this time around, maybe will look again!

Looked for half an hour and gave up.

Found it after going back to same spot three times. Great hide. TFTC

Went with our Ranger unit and was unable to locate. Will go back in the light and see if I can play

NOT easy to find

found once GPS settles under trees

Not bad hiding

Spent a good while trying to find this one, but my wide search efforts failed me

DNF

Dnf

Second time lucky. This one had been on my watch list after an initial DNF. Today I arrived to find a completely deserted GZ. My GPS was pointing to the corner of fence, so I spent a few minutes searching there - no luck, but knowing that it had been recently found by somebody else, I decided to widen my search area, and voile - had the cache in hand within ten seconds.

Day #220.

Today I rode my bicycle through Christchurch. I was able to discover many beautiful spots and find geocaches. Thank you to each of the owners for the hide geocaches.

Found with muggle daughter. Easier than expected after reading recent logs. Tftc

Had a good look around but couldn't find this cache.

Couldn't find it hope i do next time

Couldn't find

Couldn't find it but after giving up came across it

Easy to find

Easy to find

Nice park we found thanks to this cache - TFTC

Good to go

Cache replaced.

I couldn't find this geocache, maybe I'll have better luck next time!

Will need to check if its still in place.

Second attempt to find this one no luck

Nice quick find although retrieving and returning the cache wasn't easy. TFTC.

Wooohoooo tftcAccchhheeee

Yeow! TFTC

Nice wee park, was in the area and had missed this one last time. Easy find, TFTC.

#6962. Wasn't quite sure where to access this one from, but I guessed correctly. TFTC.

Cache was pretty much where I initially searched but should have worn my glasses as failed to spot it. Took a look from StreetWalker to find it, but then he has the right attribute....TFTC.

Had us guessing for a while. Thanks

Nearly forgot to log this one, found while slowly making my way to the airport, TFTC, #5571

A nice quick find on the way home from work this morning. Now here I am, back at work (night shift) logging the find! Will move the TB along soon.

Mrs 1Grunta went to Brownies here, many, many years ago.
Dropped off a Scouting associated TB while here.
TFTC

Is there still a scout group using the den?

Went around the block for this one till we ended up where we started. After that a quick stroll and a quick spot by Chelzea. TFTC

Found with Sevren.tftc

Silly GPS sent me down a lane that didn't lead me to the cache. Once I found the right access route the cache was quickly found. TFTC

Nice easy find once I found the right part of the fence TFTC

Nice quick find once the GPS settled somewhat under the trees. Thanks for the cache.

Nearly gave up on this one then M saw it several metres away from the GZ reading. All good.

An early morning round of caching in the rain and wind, seems the best time to make a muggle free retreival for this cache, the nearby geomutt only started its call as I was exiting the area

TFTC

Took longer to get the cache out of its hiding place than it did to find, but got there in the end.

Had a wee giggle at the hint. Of course!!! Quick find after junior muggle finished closing the gate to her house. Container somewhat wedged into fence but managed to get it out. Tftc. The last one if these for me.

THe GPS was putting slightly wrong but I found it in the end. Kids had given up and went to play on the park with their mother.
Thanks for placing the cache.

Nice easy find in a very quiet location for our girls walk to the library on this crisp winter's day.
TFTC

Nice quick find while kids at gym close by.

On my way into Riccarton with 4 kids in the car and stopped here to give some of them a taste of "hunting a cache" in a nice park setting. One of them found it relatively easily - felt happy for her - maybe she will get a taste for more???

I was feeling very ill this day. I had done my normal daily routine, woken up, felt pretty gross, but oh well, went to the gym, went to work. Got an hour of work done, but then started to feel so ill I couldn't do any work!! So I left home sick, and slept ALL day. I momentarily woke up a couple times, but just had no energy to get out of bed... I was wondering how I would find my cache for the day... day 151... my flatmates all promised to drive me out though, as they said they couldn't bear to see me break this streak, as I would have like a month mourning period or something probably!!

I kept sleeping though till dinner, trying to make my fever go away. Then woke up feeling much better! So ate food and ran off to find a cache wearing thermals with pjs ontop and a puffa jacket!!

The cache was a nice and easy find once I managed to get to the GZ!! But I took a detour through the park in the dark, and it was pretty freaky!! But had to get this streak continueing!! So I fought back my fears of the dark!!

And then went straight back to sleep... I counted that I was only awake for 5 hours on that day!! But I felt so much better the next day that I managed to go back to work! Must have been the cache

TFTC!!

Wondering if the scouts know about geocaching tftc

Nice easy find tftc

TFTC!

Long way round but got there in the end. Easy find. TFTC

Over the road at my brothers for boxing day. nice park.

No niggles about. Didn't know this park was there. TFTC

Quick easy find. Think I might have knocked all of the remaining ones of these off now. Thanks for the effort in placing this series.

We picked a good day for some of these park ones- no-one sharing our space! TFTC

A lovely wonder in the park. TFTC

Good find in a peaceful location. TFTC

Found with 90CRX on our quick trip around the South Island. Thanks for your effort in placing this cache, I enjoyed finding it.

Working in the street alongside the cache so just had to log it. Tftc. Took Cairns coin.

Decided to go down to Dunedin to attended the first ever Mega in New Zealand and my first ever MEGA. Managed to work it out so that I was able to team up with -gonefishing-, fozzmiester and agcnz on an 9 day caching trip around the South Island, this was day 8 of the road trip. Today we were making our way form Timaru to Christchurch for the night and picking up a few caches on our way and it was another beautiful fine day.

After finding GC1XX5R - Weeping under the twins. (Canterbury), this was the next cache that I had on my list that I needed to find as we finally arrived into Christchurch for the evening. As we neared GZ, we managed to find a safe parking spot in the parking area not too far from GZ and once we got out of the car it was an easy walk over to GZ, we soon managed to spot the hint object and we soon managed to go where the GPSr was pointing us and once there we had a closer look we soon realised that it was the cache.

Managed to retrieve the cache, signed and then replaced the cache back where we found it. Thanks looking4thebroc for placing this cache here and for bringing us to this spot, TFTC TNLNSL (5369). Another nice reserve in Christchurch that I wouldnt have visited if it was not for caching, have heard this saying quite a few times, a very interesting cache name indeed.

Now it is time to continue to the next cache on our list as we made our way towards our accommodation in Christchurch for the evening.....

Found as part of an epic NZ Mega Event trip. Day 8 - Timaru to Christchurch in the company of agcnz, -gonefishing- and Yeetrees. Thanks to the owners of the 500 + caches which I had the pleasure to find along the way and which contributed to a very fun trip.

Thanks for the cache looking4thebroc.

Found on the great post-Mega roadtrip with agcnz, fozzmiester and yeetrees. A great trip from Otago to Wellington, taking in many backroads and some fantastic scenery along to way to over 400 caches. Thanks to all the cache owners for the great caches we found on the way.

Thanks for the cache, looking4thebroc.

Reperio at 1920.

Having just arrived in New Zealand a few hours ago with Roostaman, we collected the hire car and headed straight out to grab some kiwi caches. We arrived near GZ to find a scouts meeting going on, and figured we would have to leave this one for another time...but...as we got to within a meter of the cache, we were just out of their line of sight...so it was all good.

Gratias looking4thebroc.

Find # 4240 and 47 today with Marcus Vitruvius on the 1st day of our NZ Mega trip.
Another very nice cache and hide and a quick find. TNLNSL TFTC looking4thebroc,
Roostaman.

NZ12. The same applied here, but all was well here. despite the rain. Time to do something else for a while, I went to the air force museum. Thanks.

Easy find close to our new abode. Thanks

The Goal for today - finally find cache number 400! I've been pretty busy at Burnham over the last couple of weeks offering some relief chaplaincy. Things at camp have been a whole lot busier than with my normal unit - the 4th Otago and Southland battalion.

Because things have been so flat tack I took today off to have a bit of a breather.

This one was a bit dicey to track down, not because the cache was difficult to find, but there is just a sense of danger for an Anglican Priest mooching around behind a scout den! Locating this one was pretty easy, extracting it from its hidey hole was another story....

An easy find, no one about.

Nice easy find. Yes, a bit tight to get out and back in, but it works.

Caching along with Vorn73, Justflk and Tori xox Nice find, was very hard to get it out! TFTC

Out with RuruNZ again this afternoon doing another few caches we both didn't have. Found reasonably quickly and RuruNZ extracted. I took the Geocoin as she had taken other TB's earlier today, one of which was placed here.

Last for the day and a quick find too! Our initial plans were thwarted by the Maraton, so we followed our noses and several hours later ended up here.
Kiwicampnut took the Geocoin and I left one of the TBs we'd picked up earlier in the day.

Just thought I'd sneak a quick lunch cache. GPSr all over the place. Had the sinking feeling I'm not going to get this one. phew, spied it, grabbed it, signed it. TFTC.

A nice easy find on my way home to the hotel from today's job. Quick detour off Main South Road, and spotted the hide as soon as I got there. Extraction took longer! Managed to squeeze in an OzMega 2012 geocoin, thanks looking4thebroc.

A quick wee find with no one around today. TFTC. Cheers Bo

143 - I didn't think I would be able to squeeze a cache into my day today but I am happy to say that I was WRONG! I was in the area so I popped into the park and even though two elderly ladies had their collie loose in there, they totally ignored me and left me to head to GZ. Cache very quickly in hand and replaced. TFTC.

Another quick find on our lap around CHCH today. TFTC. #256

Thanks

Found fairly quickly on the way past. SL TFTC

Quick find. TFTC.

easy find. nice simple instructions.

Excellent Cache, TFTH

Nice one. Quick find once I approached from the right direction. Cheers.

Found easily after the driveway trek. Would never had known this park was in here, and a Scout Den too!

Easy find.

Quick find with friend tftc
