Logs
As there's been no cache to find for some time, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
Could not find. Looked in obvious places- under big tree in hollow and couldn't find. See picture attached. Has this been muggled?
Looks like the cache has been muggled. Will attempt to place a new log in the next week or two.
Didn't have much time today for caching but managed to spare a few minutes to get this cache. Parked up at GZ and located the area easily enough. However, the cache was completely exposed and one of the two caches had clearly been muggled with the top and logbook missing in the tube. Decided to check the other cache and it only had one piece of paper with no writing. Signed the paper making it the logbook and took the tube. Will contact CO to return the tube. Thank you for the lovely hide, nice park!
Yippee our first find.... but we forgot our pen. Will remember for next time. Beautiful park just around the corner and we have only lived here 12 years.
Wow!! What a cool little reserve, would never have known!! TFTC:-) signed both logs like previous peeps.
As stated by previous logs there were 2 containers at GZ, so as previous loggers did we signed both. Nice little reserve.

Went out for a drive and to collect some caches tonight. My mission didn't last long, having decided to wear light clothes and the wind was gusty and freezing. As such this was the only cache I managed this evening!
I found two containers at GZ, one was a metal berrocca type tube, the other a plastic large pill bottle ... both with logs in them, so I signed both.
A nice reserve in a peaceful street - disturbed by the traffic noise from the nearby motorway

We dropped off Lost Gnome in this perfectly appointed cache location for a lost gnome.
Visiting from Montana, U.S. Staying close by so took a walk and found this cache. Log was a little damp but still able to sign. Many thanks for the adventure.
Back down this way for a work related conference for the rest of the week, but as having had to return the car it was now time to make the most of shanks pony and collect a few caches on the way back to the hotel before setting up for the day and all the delegates that will be attending. At least at this time of the day the area is all quiet and not too many issues with muggles about.
This was the sixth of the morning and it was still well dark but managed a quick find along the empty streets.
thanks for the placement

A nice quick find after I finished work at 8 o'clock. Starting to get dark when I walk home from work.
An easy find once I found the correct tree! Left a 1958 6d at 1325Hr on 12 February 2015.
A very secluded little reserve which probably doesn't get many visitors (apart from the odd geocacher or two). Lovely mature trees so a cool location on a warm day.
A quick find and a nicely hidden cache. TFTC.

TFTC. ..fyi even as i was walking there a neighbour called.out from behind the fence "i know what ur looking for" so the cache is known.to them..great hide thanks..
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.
A lovely peaceful location, with some magnificent tress. Found two caches so signed both! TFTC, #7029
20/08/2014 1:03 pm Find #3633 Two caches for the price of one! This has only happened to me on two previous occasions. I had a sense of deja vu in coming to this park....I think I've been here before to look for this cache? Maybe there were people in the park and I left it for another day which I guess is today. A quick find of both caches and I signed both logs. Awesome. I was going to leave a travel bug but the cache sizes are more micro than small. Thanks Rats44.
Quick find today, with the extra bonus of 2 x caches in the exact same place. I suspect the previously suspected muggle trophy has been returned or simply resurfaced. TFTC.
We went for another nice caching trip through the city and were happy to fine this cache. After a long walk at Mt Rolleston yesterday our muscles were still so and we quite enjoyed some easier caches for today Many thanks for this lovely hide
#8 of 10 finds (from 12 attempts today). Had a little bit of a hunt then looked from another angle and there it was (with no cover)! Signed the log and popped it back with better camo.

First cache for the year, the GPS woouldnt settle but located GZ thanks to the hint. TFTC
Out on a geocaching bike trip today. So far this is cache #1! A good start after some hunting around and putting my arm down dark holes!
Drizzling but lots of tress and didnt take me too long to have cache in hand. TFTC SL
Found just as it starts raining. Pencil needs to be sharpened so byo writing device until someone has a sharpener Also book was a tad damp.

Without Geocaching you would not know that these places exist. Short detour from some other caches in the area and a quick find. But the needs maintenance note makes sense - not quite sure for how long the logbook will be useable. TFTC
I was on an after work lunchtime walk and took a short detour to this cache. Didn't take too long to uncover it. Log book is a bit damp but still workable. Not sure for how long though. TFTC, Biggles.
Found it almost immediately, no muggles in sight of the GC to notice what 1eyednbf (1 eyed and proud of it) was up to while I was grappling with the log and the replacement of the cache, Nice Hide.
Nice easy find! Log was damp but usable. No cache so I added something of my own
With 1 Wherigo, 1 multi and 1 puzzle cache done tonight I had to get a regular to finish off the 4x4 challenge that Chelzea finished on Saturday. This was close and a nice easy find. Log rather damp but still writable. TFTC.
An easy find on my way to work to maintain my streak. Cache a bit damp and exposed.
Got muggled by a little white mop of a dog that had climbed its fence and was very excited about being out. Managed to retrieve, sign, and return the cache before the owner came out looking for it.
Hi ho hi ho a cycle cachibg I'll go. Feeling a little worse for wear it was nice to stop and grab this then bust a further move. Tftc
Nice quick one after work. TFTC.

Saw this one come up on my GPS on the way home from work. Lovely little reserve, one would never know it was there unless they had some reason to travel down the street. Good easy find. Thanks.
Found with ease with the geoboys on a fabulous autumn day. They managed to kick the rugby ball around in the reserve, aiming between the trees, but they still managed to puncture it on tree branches. I suspect the neighbours were wondering why 4 strangers turned up in their park for 10 minutes, then left...
This was a nice quick park and grab during my lunch break, to keep my consecutive day cache streak going. Thanks for the cache.
After we found a hotel for the night and finish our day i go out to find this one.
Easy and fast with the hint.

837 - This was my second visit to this reserve. A long time ago I made my first attempt but a neighbour's dog kept watch and I was unable to attempt the find. There was no sign of that dog today so it was full steam ahead. Cache was quickly cornered. Nice. Found with Pokernet. TFTC

After failing at the last cache, I had to find one still!! So I looked for the next closest easily accessible one, so that I could go to bed soon.
Found this one pretty easy actually, as it was in the first place I looked in... and I was very very happy that I don't live in a particular country where looking for a cache like this would not be a very good idea!
So quickly signed the log using my GPS for the light I needed to be able to sign, and see what I was doing!!
Consec Day # 116!!!!!! Whooop WHooooop yaaaaaay yusssss!!!
