Whare on Wharenui (Canterbury) Upper Riccarton, South Island, New Zealand
By dan.reilly on 14-Apr-11. Waypoint GC2T5JA

The cache has been muggled, I won't be replacing it - when I was living right next to this cache it was alright, now it is a bit cheeky. This was my first hide, thanks to everyone who found it - 148 of you!

nothing there today to find. Had Justmeg with me and she had found it before so it is missing

Had a quick look trying not to draw the attention of all the muggles driving by, no luck. TFTC

Found log book only. Definitely needs maintenance.

Container missing.

Had a quick look for this one where I anticipated it to be. Up in CHCh dropping daughter to UC. May visit for this one another time. Hoped to drop a TB.

TFTC!

Woohoo!! Nice one

Very quick find. Amazing how some caches just blend in by looking like nothing. TSLO! TFTC.

Nice easy find

Quick easy find... Very busy road! Cheers

looks like a muggle found it and just wrote a funny note in it. I am not sure I agree with the note. all love is equal!

Quick find timed with the lights. TFTC

I needed to quickly pop into the warehouse after work, and so decided to find just a quick cache on the way home, as I so didn't have the energy to go find something further.
So... found the Whare on Wharenui after visiting the Ware-whare!

Parked very close by across the road, and then made my way over. Muggles were passing by constantly, but I just reached my hand in to get the cache out. Easily spotted. Last person to find it though was some muggles! Would have taken a picture of their log, but I had left my phone behind in my car! Nice of them to hide it back well

TFTC!!

A quic grab in the dark while out with my son and Graemey from UK. TFTC

Another night time cache with Richbritty, Ben with graemey from UK. Took a bit of time to find as we didn't have the hints or size to hand but it was found in the end. TFTC. Nice Hide.

A bit difficult to be subtle with this, but got a lucky break in the traffic.

Quick find. Busy area!

Found on a wet day on visit to chch. Wet relief after 31deg yesterday. Tftc

After a very wet trip to Moana on the Trans Alpine yesterday, the phone, which is also my GPSr, no longer works. To keep up the 300-day streak, we had to do this one "manually" but fortunately, it was a quick find and I had brought a backpack to cover my shenanigans at GZ. Picked up two TBs. TFTC

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.

Previously logged under a team account. Re-logging with my individual account.

We parked a bit up the street and made our way to GZ after a quick hunt we had the cache in had After adding our names to the log we had to wait for a few muggles to pass before returning the cache.

Cache was very exposed, not least of all due to the rush hour traffic! Exciting times!

This cache was near our campground, so I had a quick sprint to find it. Easy find, dropped a coin and a car.
TFTC!

:bad: New Zealand - Aotearoa - Middle-earth 2012 or "There and Back Again" :bad:

Our first cache in the Southern Hemisphere, our first cache in New Zealand and our first cache on the South Island!

We found it easily after a little walk from the nearby Kiwi Holiday Park!

Time: 23.20 h

No trade.

Tack för cachen!

With our MEGA experience over, it was time to get back on the road and head back to Christchurch before leaving to fly home. Just a few more caches before leaving. TFTC.
Cheers from Browngang.

Reperio at 1500.

This was a very busy area here today with so many cars passing by...but fortunately the cache was easily spotted...so it was a matter of waiting for the right time to make the retrieval. All in all it was a very enjoyable first day in New Zealand.

Gratias dan.reilly.

Find # 4218 with Marcus Vitruvius on the 1st day of our NZ Mega trip.
Another very nice cache and hide and a quick find.
Nice to meet you later at the FTF chase also. TNLNSL TFTC,

Found in the company of the Walenators on our first day of caching on the South Island before heading to Dunedin for the Mega. TFTC

Found this cache on a bright sunny afternoon whilst out with the Earthbounds on our first day in NZ. TFTC dan.reilly...SL...TNLN

NZ12. Last for the day after giving up and setting up the camper-van in a nearby van park. It seemed a little bit cheeky, but if the neighbors are onside, why not. Thanks.

Quick easy find, suprised it is still here as was out in the open. Tried to conceal a bit better. Took the long way to work early in the morning and with dayglo vest on the few cars on the road didn't pay any attention to me. Thanks for placing.

Surprised this hasn't been found by muggles

Waited for a break in traffic and got it, thanks!

A quick find with the grandson, it's can we do some more all day, thanks [^]

Nice easy find. Lots of muggles but did the old tie my laces trick =).

nice easy find TFTC

Good day out caching

Forgot to dip Cachemobile TB.

Fortunately what traffic there was is moving steadily and no one have me a second look as I did what was necessary. A bit of a different story at peak traffic I would think. Gave it a little more natural cover than it had.
Thanks for this cache, #47 in my best streak to date.

This log posted with CacheSense for Android!

Nice easy find while shopping nearby. TFTC

Zap - got it. TFTC.

Found with great ease. Been meaning to stop at this easy one for a while. Finally got it.

Talk about muggles muggles and more muggles, but eventually had the goods in hand.

Even early evening traffic everywhere. Had to wait for clear space to return cache

Must have had the traffic on my side - quick find on busy corner and managed to duck in / out without much trouble. Removed what looked like a food item which squished in my hand - thank goodness for wet wipes.

Busy Intersection keep a close eye on your geobabies :0 TFTC

Took TB

An easy find but lots of patience was required owing to the location

I have a pretty good idea where it is but this is a very exposed cache, will probably have to come back in the small hours to avoid muggles.

Easy find on a cold but clear early morning. Dropped TB for a visit.

good find tftc

Found fairly quickly on the way past. SL TFTC

Was passing today so decided to check on my cache. All good. Dropped a couple of TBs

Easy find. We put in an easter egg coin during this weekend! TFTC. Grtz from Holland.

Easy find, TFTC.

Spotting was easy and then the shoe tie tricked helped during traffic green light TFTC

Cool cache. TFTC, SL, TNLN.

Easy find.

Tftc very tricky due to high muggle zone. Finally retrieved late night on leap year day

Grabbed in a break in the traffic.

TFTC

Phew glad to get that one over. Log book bag caught wind out of my hand, had to perform a suttle but quick hop and skip over the road to grab it!

Had to work with the timing of the traffic lights and the tying the shoe while filling in the log at this busy intersection.

#2823
Grabbed the cache as all the cars at the lights shot off and replaced it when a later group got a green. Easy peasy. TFTC ds8300

I Found this cache with my sister, mum and dad. Gracie7 + Mum has given me a list of every cache I have done with her that i have not logged, TFTC A special thanks to Gracie7 + Mum for the Log List

Took a day trip to ChCh. 1/14 in 2 and 1/2hrs. Quick find between traffic. We did have to wait a few minutes to return it discretely. TFTC

Not too busy early Saturday morning TNLN Thanks for the cache.

Good hiding spot,

Was finally passing by with the environs quiet enough to log a find. Cheers.

Thats a very busy corner at 9am ! SL TFTC

Nice easy find but abit tough to keep it secret

Nicely hidden

Nice easy cache. TFTC

Couldn't resist going for one last caching walk at the end of my holidays in NZ

Love these out in public caches. Took the tbs

Didn't take us long to find out where it was TFTC.

Been here before but was too busy, so got it easily this time. Parked just as a 4.3 aftershock happened. Thought hubby had slammed the door too hard, til it kept rocking, and rocking, and rocking... Left TBs that had missed the holiday.

easy find.

easy find

Needed a walk after dinner tonight and this cache was in range, spotted it on approach.

TFTC

First find in Christchurch today. Here for a few days on business, hopefully time for a few more caches!

A quick walk from where I was staying just along the road and a quick find. Signed log, TFTC.

The clever hint made for an easy find at a busy junction. Took the Geocoin. TFTC.

Found it. Left Geocoin.

My first "real" geocache in NZ (Officially, it was an Event in Christchurch last night )

I got up early and left the van park for a walk. I headed toward this one being the closest. Methinks I picked a good time for it due to how busy this intersection is. After a small fossick it was soon safely in hand. I scampered away with the prize and signed the log. Picked up a geocoin as well. The cache is in good condition. Re-hid it and made off. TFTC dan.reilly

You never know what is hiding on a street corner near you (or sisters street corner in this case). Left Geocoin. TFTC

Quick find. TFTC

Thanks!

thanks dan.reilly, for this one. My 3rd in NZ - tomorrow I'll fly back home to Germany!

Surprisingly easy to find. TFTC

Heading out with the family for a mornings adventure, finally passing at a time with next to no traffic....a quick retrieve, sign and replace. Thanks.

easy find lots of muggles

Good to go on a Sunday in the middle of the day because there weren't too many cars/muggles. Quick find. TFTC.

thought I was heading to the warewhare but no. TFTC #2508
