As this cache has been out of action for too long, 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.

No cache here my need a cheek or archive

This cache needs ARCHIVED!

Crikey !! It took me a wander around half the suburb to find the way to GZ
But once in there I found a couple of good spots to look for a cache in this hidden away bit of parkland

Nup !! Like those who have gone before me ... a big fat DNF

Cache is certainly not in the BIG tree by the fence

Gone, not there.

Couldn't Find it. Got to location to find area taped off (don't know why it looked fine) and hunted for the cache. Got closer and decided to take a look at the logs only to see people couldn't find it Checked Attributes and found "Needs Maintenance" Better check everything before hand next time. Area where cache looked like it should have been was a mess. Will go find it later tho.

We spent a long time looking and read many others' notes for clues. Wondering if this one has gone missing as we were very patient?

Gone

Found on a road trip to Richmond and Nelson from the deep dark South of Dunedin.
Having a great time hunting down caches in a load of different places.

Thanks for your efforts in hiding your caches.

Found with Ian. Our first one. :-{)

Some illegally happy school kids in the summer house so retreated and came back later for a quick find. TFTC

Even at this time of the year it was possible to appreciate the garden areas. I would imagine this to be a splendour of colour in the spring.
A few folks around on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
Cache find was straightforward, once we got ourselves in the right area of the territory.
Geocache in order. Log signed; safely re-hidden, just as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

Really cool spot here quite beautiful

Found it! Time to move on from Nelson and drive to our next destination. But first a coffee stop and a nice walk through a beautiful park to a find a cache in Richmond! Once at GZ it was a quick find. There was no one around this early on a Sunday morning. TFTC SL

Love these gardens, so beautiful and manicured, I remember another cache that was actually in the summer house, a long time ago now.

TFTC

By the way, ther is nothing wrong with the cache. Nickippy - please remove the needs maintenance attribute and add some other ones. Also the trackable is missing. please mark it as such.

With a caching catch up event on in Nelson this afternoon I was invited along to join Capperz and The Seagnoid on a day's caching in the Nelson area. For once my other weekend plans didn't clash and I was able to tag along and get a few caches on the books. It's always nice to try out a new area and see the variety of different hides along the way.
Beautiful Park and a very good spot for the cache, tucked away up in the corner. This one gets a favourite point for the location, and size of container

Today is a caching event in Nelson day. So today must also be a caching mission to Nelson day too!
Setting off early from our current homes at Woodbourne the Seagnoid and G H 6 7 1 0 were met at the breakfast hall for a quick feed prior to setting off 'over the hill'.
Meeting at 0630 and returning around 8 in the evening it was a big day all round for all concerned (is there any other way to have a Geocaching day, than big?)
This was one of the caches we did whilst carrying out a nice big loop walk in the beautiful hot sunshine on the Summers day. It was a quick and easy find and the well hidden cache was appreciated.
It took us a while to find this cache, searched the wrong hint item for too long before a sudden a-ha moment and the find was made

[green] Capperz, GH6710 and I are in Nelson for an event and to do a little caching on the side. While waiting for the event start time we worked this little power trail. Brilliant summer's day - got a little concerned that I had left the sunscreen and bandanna in the car, but it was okay, I didn't get burnt.
I love this place! Beautiful gardens, wonderful day, people all over the place taking some time out to enjoy life, it's great! Despite the coords being a little out, which had us searching in the wrong area for quite a while, and then GH searching the right place and still totally missing the cache, this gets a favourite from me .

Corrected date

Lovely spot next door to my Aunties place. Turned on gps when we woke and it was 20 metres away!

Tftc

Jason/ Corey/ Toni good place to hid it

Jason/ Corey/ Toni good place to hid it

Car GPS made me walk a slightly longer way round. Lovely area this. Easy find. TFTC

Nice and easy find! Cheers

Could not find it

I have found this one before, but when I came past the cache was not in its usual spot. Either it has been moved or removed.

.

Good hide. Needed more leaves to cover the cache.

For the sake of sanity we set off with sonia26642 for a crazy geocaching trip, aiming to cache until we drop. The main destination was Nelson and the ‘surrounding’ area, but then we ended up covering a few miles in three northernmost regions, plus a few in Canterbury. We were signing/stamping the log as 'Team Polak' or ‘TP’ for the two of us on this trip to save logbook space. We found a lot of different caches, city ones, road side, park side, up a hill and on an island, and we enjoyed every single one of them. It was good to be a professional thingfinder for a few days!

We had great fun and are grateful to all CO’s who placed caches for us to find, and help restore our sanity before returning to our other non-geocaching lives!!

This was one of the most epic weeks ever, and definitely my most epic caching week ever.

Me and mum headed up on a holiday north to Nelson and very wider surrounds. In total during the trip, we found almost 500 caches! (470 odd I think, but final results are yet to be in! ) We covered about 3000 odd km I think too. Crazy! And had our absolute best caching day ever too at 160 found. Spend 9 days travelling, caching, and having the best time ever!!

So sorry about not so epic logs, as otherwise this would probably take me the rest of my life to log, especially with two big events to organise coming up! Eeek!!

Almost every single log we signed as 'Team Polak' to avoid needing to write out both usernames taking up space on logsheet - as well as precious caching time!! Haha.

Consec caching day # 705

TFTC!!

A quick find followed by a slow walk around the gardens TFTC

#7876. Today's lunchtime outing was primarily for street walking, however I realised I was close to a cache Troodles had found while streaking, so stopped by to try to find it. I didn't have a pen, but luckily there was one in the cache. Good spot for a cache. Hadn't been to this quiet corner before. TFTC.

Dodged the rain showers for a quick spot of Sat afternoon cache hunting. Youngest member of Tribe found this one quickly. Great spot in the gardens. TFTC

Awesome spot! Never been in that bit before
TFTC!

TFTC!!! Found quickly even tho GPS was a bit out, clue led me to correct place!!

Easy find.

Yay first find...easy spot

Nice easy find - good for first time!

Even in the middle of winter, this is a lovely park so am looking forward to seeing it in spring and summer. Had a little bother finding my way to GZ as I approached from Washbourn Drive entrance. Much easier from Oxford St.
My GPSr was pointing to a yew tree, which was a bit daunting as I hate searching in them, but luckily spotted a better hiding place about 10m away. Day #71 of my streak. TFTC.

Tftc!

I got a scraped arm but my dad help me

I grazed my arm getting this one, but a bit of help from my Dad meant that we soon had the cache. There was no TB inside.

Quick find once I ignored the GPS

My first geocaching find. May there be many more!

Found travelbug WCV59Y.

Easy find. Replaced the pen as it did not work TFTC!!

Could not find.

Looked and looked but sadly could not find the cache.

Distance from original: 63.4 feet or 19.3 meters.
Had to move to a different spot because the last two were stolen.

New cache container deserves a travel bug.

Got it Took two trips as lots of muggles around but a great spot.

Nice easy find on a great day out

found it

Lovely spot. Tftc

1st one of the day and a nice QEF....they do keep these gardens up to scratch!!
TFTC.

We searched high and low and our 7 year old was very happy to be the finder. Thanks!

A good find with the Anne street crew

Yes a lovely place to spend some time. Log was a but damp and replaced the old split bag with a new on. It is a bit big for the container son someone might like to swap for a smaller one when they visit TFTC http://www.geocaching.com/images/icons/icon_smile.gif

12872… Nice park, thanks for placing a cache at the Richmond Summer House.

easy find as three year old grandson has been here before with his dad and he lead the way right to it

Nana was looking at some of the caches I helped her find and this is one of them. I first found it with my dad but he does not log them online, thanks

Needing to make the most of my time in Nelson and only a few hours left before I have to fly out a bit of early morning caching (in the dark) was in order, a nice quick find only a short distance from where i stayed the night

TFTC

Makka pakka 2 went out to day and look what he found TFTC

#3270 @1510
Up in Nelson for a few days. Finished work early so popped out for a few caches. Enjoyed a wander around the gardens here, with my son (11) and granddaughter (4) admiring the flowers and watching the ducks. TFTC. Took GC.

New container and added my geocoin!

Well hidden

found it

Took a while but still found it. Log book to wet to write name in but good find.[^]

Log book dirty and very damp.
Unable to sign it.
Cache needs TLC.

Out with Kiddzinn trying to get to 100. 12 to go. This is the first. Great find.

Good quick find. PU TB.TFTC

New log book out and place a travel bug it it

Needs to get to Oregon

Found it but couldn't write in log book cause it was to dirty and the area is great with the flowers

Found this cache but cache and log book were wet and muddy. Couldn't log our find. Lovely location anyway!

Found after getting an ice-cream from the Mall nearby. Been before but cache missing, quite a while ago now. Log to wet to sign but TFTC.

Couldn't find anywhere. Had a good look round the trees but no luck

Newly arrived in Richmond, thanks for bringing us here.

Checked out several possibilities before finding just the right spot. TFTC

Found with redants, I did the distract the muggles thing so they look the other way while redants grabbed the cache. TFTC.

A bit tricky, seeing as there was two of the muggle-kind sitting under the summer house. I managed to retrieve and sign without being noticed, using epic-ninja-geocacher skills. TFTC, gets a favourite.

Never seen this house but been to the park a few times before
TFTC

TFTC!

nice hole to hide it in

Today I Went for the 100 caches in 1 day. With a very early morning and just breaking even at lunch time with 50, it looked like it was going to be 12am to 12pm. But after a move out of the city they started to speed up, and i managed to grab the last at 20:30 with 106!! Thanks everyone for the caches that they have placed, from the ones that have been planed for months to the park and grabs

Greets from Germany!
