I have had to replace this cache several times over the years and I have decided not to replace it again.

Will check on this one.

Oups not found ! May be need to be check?

Based on the previous logs didnt stay to long

No luck for me, though I was looking for a small (which is the size chosen) whereas I've just noted the cache description mentions it's a micro, so what size is it?

Gave up after several minutes searching, it will wait for my return;)

Quick find during work. Tftc

Quick find after tea

Spent ages walking up and down the fence using the satellite map on my phone. Was about to give up but thought I'd have one last look. Switched the phone to compass and it took me straight to it! TFTC.

Second of four found in a night jaunt around Bryndwr.
Log book damp.
TFTC

Found it!! Needs some tlc! Log book wet. My first NZ cashe.

Took about 5 mins to find. TNLN SL TFTC!

Found after approx 10 minute search, just beat the rain.

Another surprising find. This was a cool park for the kids to play in on the way home. Found the cache quickly took longer to get log out. Thanks

If you find one cache why not grap a couple more. So here I am tftf

A wee hunt for this

TFTC!

Took ages and a few tries at finding this. Cache in perfect order. Dropped off TB. Tftc

I won't say a quick find as it wasn't. Just knew it had to be there after a bit of perverance I found it. TFTC

2.45pm - Had to dodge all Thebes to get this one. Took TB. SLTFTC

First one while in chch for daughters wedding

Gps wouldn't settle

I'm sure I searched for this one soon after it was placed; no luck then but a quick find today. Muggles all at home for dinner.

Another one of my quick early morning finds on the way to the gym early one Monday morning. Not too far from the road for an in the dark attempt, yet by the time I found it, it was pretty much light all round! But wow this one actually did take a while to spot! There were just so many possible places to be looking in at, and I am 'challenged' in the aspect of the way this cache was hidden... So it did involve a bit of jumping about and climbing all over the place etc... And just as I was going to give it one last scan before I had to leave, I spotted it peering back at me...

Noticed that this is #5 though... oops... was I meant to be collecting some codes or something from here?? Awkward! Lol.

TFTC!!

A fairly quick find today, and replaced just as a muggle family arrived to use the playground. TFTC

Quick park & grab while on our way out to complete a few last minute messages before Christmas rolls over us. Park area very quiet with nobody around. TN:LN:SL. TFTC...looking4thebroc. Day #67 of our consecutive days streak. #289 for us.

Chilling out at home and noticed was only 80 meters from home so dwn we went for another easy find

1 of 37 caches Mum and I found today in attempts to reach 1000cache finds by the end of the year.
A quick find. This is our last in the Six of One, 1/2 Dozen of the Other series. Thanks we enjoyed them

Very quiet here today- found it quite quickly. TFTC

Reperio at 1115.

Another full day of caching around Christchurch with Roistaman today, and while we hadn't actually set on finding any one particular series of caches, this was the fifth one of this series we managed to sign our names on. We didn't have too many problems with finding this one as we had the place to ourselves.

Gratias looking4thebroc.

Find # 4833 and a total of 65 today with Marcus Vitruvius, on our NZ Mega trip.
Another day of Mega caching around the Christchurch suburbs and city.
Another nice cache in the series found and then on the way again.

Arrived in Christchurch late yesterday on our way to the Event at Dunedin. Time for a bit of caching today before we head off tomorrow. This one had us looking for longer than expected then we found it where P-P had already looked - how could he have missed that!

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt looking4thebroc.

Found .. on the way to Nana's place ..
dropped off T-shirt TB

Cool cache
Thanks

Ohh arrgh. It's a mystery: is the log old, or is it new? Well I can confirm that the cache log book at this location is new! TFTC

Quick easy find after being replaced. Hope Rob has logged the right cache because the new book was pristine upon signing. Thanks for replacing this one, just one to go before I have the set I think.
Number 599 oooh have to find another quick.......

Ahrrr, Cap'n Bligh! Found the hidden treas-ahrrr! FTF since the cache was replaced, although it's not a new log. Cache sight is pretty open, nowhere to hide from the muggles. I got muggled before I could put it back. Came back several times until I got a muggle free moment to replace the cache. TFTC

Replaced the container which had gone missing. I have updated the hint. Happy caching!

Will check on this one ASAP.

Tnink this one might be gone. Had a good look in all the suspect places, 20 minutes later no smiley.

Definitely no longer an easy find. Had a pretty good look. Plenty of time and nobody around. Still no luck.

Had quite a good look but then started to suffer from "weird lone male in playground" type feelings.

Will return.

Quick find tftc

Took 5 minutes in the dark.

Found fairly quickly on the way past. SL TFTC

EZY FIND

Nice one. TFTC. SL. Beautiful morning. Muggle free

After pushing the darn buggy all over the place trying to get in, finally remembered the place from last time. A much easier find this time luckily, only took a minute. Little Miis, having had enough of 5 hours in the buggy, really did like the swings! Cheers

Took a bit of fossicking but got it in the end. TFTC.

Easy find with the nieces

Got it this time, and then my dog got to have a play with neighbouring dogs, who arrived after the find thankfully. We will be back just for the park next time. TFTC

Nice easy find

Another person fooled by their GPS in finding this park! Got muggled by teenager and dog just as we found the cache. Saw him go over to check it out. Looked for another cache and went back to check. Found it safe & sound and in the right place.

Easy find.

A quick check showed that the cache is definitely there. It had migrated a bit and so I put it back in line with the clue. The hiding place has been broken so it is not as well hidden as it has been in the past, so please be sure to cover the container.

Three DNF's in rapid succession may mean that the cache has gone missing. Will check it out soon and replace if need be.

At least this isn't a 2 star difficulty. Maybe I'll give it another go another day.

Spent almost an hour looking - so many yellow leaves to choose from! Frustrated

Boo Hoo. DNF in July and again in Jan. Perhaps I need to come back in a month not starting with J.

Initial in-car navigation issues lead us to the wrong approach but eventually the park was located. A local Corgi certainly likes to kick up a giant fuss on approach to the GZ. Having done one of the series recently we knew roughly the likely location but this one was tiny and the potential search area large !. We got there in the end though and no mutiny within the team.

(# 59 )

Nice little walk after starting wrong side.

with baloosu happy xmas

Good hide! Teaches you NOT to trust the obvious route on your GPS!

Finally found this on 3rd attempt! Wasn't feeling great so went for walk around block to get fresh air - thought I'd try this again. Seemed far more "obviously placed" than previous attempts. Glad to tick this one off at last.

Found after a while of looking. TFTC

Third time lucky! Found on 11/11/11.

2nd visit. Cycled straight up to the cache and found it in seconds. I don't know why I missed it last time. This was the 3rd of 5 caches found today whilst on a 42km cyclocache ride. Thanks for the cache.

Visiting from Canada. Coordinates took me to someone's yard - private property. That's a definite stop for me.

Took my boys down to find this one; we needed the hint but found it. Left a little something there despite the small size of the cache.

#558: Whew!


I rode to this one after a second DNF at another nearby L4TB hide. Glad I could make this find today -- day 71 of my cache-a-day streak. Also helps me have a find for every calendar day of September! Took some good sleuthing around to come up with the container, even after reading the hint! This is a nice challenge, like many L4TB hides. Just enough good hiding places to make you work, but not some hide in a field of flax. How does the BrocMeister find such tiny parks anyway?


SL/TFTC!

Autorouting initially had me in the wrong street but I'd noticed the right one in passing so worked out where I needed to be from there. Neighbour dogs went ballistic on my first approach towards GZ so I retreated a distance until they'd calmed down. The hint definitely helped on this one. TFTC, Biggles.

First one found! Fun! Clues really helped

A bit of a search and cache was in hand.

As a child I lived near here for about 6 years and went to the nearby school. TFTC

finally. this cache was unexpectedly hard for some un known reson.

With the help of RuruNZ and another meeting that meant I could be out and about, I found it. Yes the yellow leaves are there still. Thanks - Kiwicampnut

A number of possible places matched the clue but got there in the end.TFTC

After all of the DNF's I decided to check on the cache as soon as I got back into town. I am happy to report that the container is still in place and ready to be found. I have bumped up the difficulty level to to all of the DNF's. The clue is valid summer or winter. Happy searching!

Found the Yellow leaves.
But no way am I going to dare put my hand over someone elses fence.

If anyone is reading this please keep note of this cache as it could be breaching terms and conditions.

After the statements made in the last log, I just wanted to note for anyone planning to look for this cache that the container is certainly not over any fence and the placement is in full compliance with the rules. Good luck!

3687. It took us rather too long to find the cache! In fact we had given up and walked back to the car when Rodney said "One more try" so off he went on his own and found it! We were all happy about that! Stella had a fun time on the playground and found some sticks that were useful for the rest of the day.
Thanks
Iris & Rodney & Stella

didnt find. saw yellow leaves but no cache. i think i am too short.

DNF today. Some muggles using the playground equipment and I was trying to not look suspicious. Will return another day if I see subsequent finds.

Hint said look for yellow leaves - maybe not best in winter when no leaves around?!

Almost missed it - well hidden TFTH

Found very easily, normally we make hard work of caches, don't understand why this time we were quick. Must have been our lucky day. tftc

A nice park for a short wander today. TFTC.

Had to bring help this time, but ended up finding it myself after all. Good to expunge another DNF. TFTC

Ha, found it after a bit of thought, (it's not always this season). TFTC

This proved to be a tricky wee cache for me, I spent ages looking for it then fianlly had to check the hint which did help slightly, but it still took me too long to locate, to my advantage it was raining which kept the muggles away. TFTC. Cheers Bo

Almost gave up then read some logs. Tftc

Used the clue - nice one! TFTC

A sunny park. One of the neighbouring property owners was taking his dogs for a walk and asked if I was looking for the GPS thing! Found it with little trouble. Thanks

Out for a sunny (finally) mornings family adventure. A new playground - hurrah. Quick find...thanks....

Took a bit of searching for this one, but managed to find it eventually. Cheers Gav [7833]

Quick grab.

Got it today. TFTC

Was about to give up for second time today, when I stumbled upon it.

Searched everywhere and was about to give up when eureka! Found TFTC (76)

Pretty much in and out today. Approaching GZ thought that something I could see would be handy, GPS pointed me right to the general area, checked the hint, a bit of a blind feel about (lucky I'm not phobic about stuff that I might touch) and soon had it in hand.
No chance of destroying the vegetation in -this- spot.
