I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

Hi bumandworker

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Checked to see if cache still there, but the structure which contained the cache has been removed from the site and no longer exists. Couldn't see the structure anywhere else.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

Didn't find anything near co ords.
Widened our search considerably too.

After a lot of searching and reading of other people’s logs we finally found it. TYFTC

GPS very confused ... reading 28m from where we found it
TFTC

Find #28 for MnAJ - cloud cover prevented us getting a good reading for a while, but we got there eventually. Tricky to remove cache initially, but got it out and replaced. Tftc.

Tricky but found

Second time round found it

After a few logs indicating changes to cache location, I visited to check the cache.
The cache is still hidden in the original location, but you'll need to use these co-ordinates:
S 41° 31.739 E 173° 51.927

Yes the cache is within the cemetery grounds, but as the description suggests, you do not need to go into the cemetery graves, I.e. don't need to search among headstones or graves.

Hope this helps!

This one was bit of a challenge, as it is within the cemetery grounds (despite its description) and when I finally found it and was standing signing the log my readings said GZ was 26 metres away! Clearly the structure has been moved, I'm not sure from where. Otherwise all was fine, the log was dry and the container was sound.
Thank you for the cache.

Cruising into town today and noticed that things had moved. A lot of trees have been taken down and the structure that the cache is in seems to have moved towards the road about 20m. So, co-ords may be off by 50m or so at the moment.

Third visit to this one. Had to get a clue from a previous finder as the CO's weren't responding. This shed IS in the cemetery if within the fence line is in the cemetery contrary to the description.

TFTC

GPS had me heading between rows of headstones. That's not respectful. Wouldn't anywhere within 50m of a headstone be too close ???

Failed on this one a week while back and it's been playing on my mind a bit. Came to the conclusion that it must be........... Checked on my walk tonight and it was. Tftc, nice and dry

Co-ords seemed out. Too many people and a hearse to fossick around today. Will return another day

Found after a bit of a hunt and dodging the lawn mowers. Lovely cemetery! TFTC

Staying the night in Blenheim, time to find some caches before tea. Thanks bumandworker for the cache.

Filling in time after a weekend conference in Blenheim so took the roundabout route to the airport. Took a little while to find this one but reading previous logs helped. TFTC

GPS had me between two rows of headstones about 20 mtrs away from where I finally found the cache, after reviewing older logs that gave better co-ordinates. CO please correct or give a hint. back of shed.
Signed log,

A previous DNF for me, this one had proved a bit of a nemesis. Jo and I had been here a couple of times with no success, and I had been here alone a couple of times too (the most recent when I was on a bike ride so was searching in the lycra ) until I finally made the spot. Hmmm. Why did I not check that earlier? So kept for another day, and that day is today as I was heading to Renwick to grab another. A good hide, thanks B&W.

Not tonight. Short on time, so reading previous comments onto the next one... Cheers

A nice easy find.
TFTC

While stopping to visit the grandparents while on holiday, grabbed the couple of caches here. This one took a bit longer than should have but eventually we found it! Found with 'Gone fishing'.

When it didn't seem to be at the fence line we read the previous logs and realised that the cache was nowhere near it. Some good coordinates were in the logs and from there it was an easy find. Tftc

The lure of finding a multi cache brought me to this location. As I found myself very close to this cache, I had to give it a go. This seems to be one of those strange caches where some finders say the coordinates are accurate while others say they are not. I was in the latter category but I soon worked out where I needed to be.

CZECH
nemusím jít na hřbitov? a jak se tam asi jinak dostanu?

Updated coordinates in earlier logs helped a great deal! Found in the end, cheers.

Found on a long weekend up in Nelson/Marlborough, with family, friends, and caching. Ticks all my boxes!!

Thanks to all of the CO's for the hides. Cheers.

Took a bit of time. GPS erratic but got there eventually.

Thanks for the cache

Co-ordinates updated to S 41° 31.736 E 173° 51.927
See my log on 13/01/17 for more description.

Tough find this morning with eltee291 and potterfan16297. Looked for a good ten minutes before finally finding it. Coords off by a bit. Signed the log and replaced as found. Thanks for the cache!

Really tricky find today with hingis20 and potterfan16279. Last day of caching in the Marlborough area for hingis20 and I as tomorrow we start the trek back to Auckland and then home to Victoria, BC, Canada. It has been an awesome holiday visit to New Zealand. A fantastic visit with my daughter and her family & a bunch of South Island geocaching. TFTC

Found. More to come

Yebo bumandworker

A day out from blenheim towards havelock, than over to the queen Margaret drive to reach Pictor and back to blenheim
That's the plan
And some caches might be picked up, if weather and time and the eyes permit it
Signed most logs as B52

****

Just 15m off (with my iPhone) but actually not a problem to find
Tftc

Annacons made quick work of this one during a day out caching with the kids in the rain on a deserted day. Tftc.

A quick find when looking from the right angle! tftc

Visible from the right angle got me to it another B&W cache ticked off TFTC

cache checked today by Marchwood....all good.....visible from right direction.

Based on last two logs, sounds like the co-ords may be a little loose....will check and update next time passing. Cache is not at any headstone.

Like previous cacher, we tried both the updated and the old coords with no luck. Both were within the cemetery when the description indicates we should not be. No big deal- knew it was a dnf previously but were on our way past so thought we would have a crack. But were directed to headstones and trees within the cemetery with no joy.

Searched for 30 minutes with nothing to show for it.
Helping me was @MrTubaca and friend, the co-ordinates pointed us to a headstone which we had a brief look around.
A small tree nearby was the only other standout object where a cache could be hidden.

Tried searching at the previous co-ordinates and all trees in between, no find.
Would love to know which co-ordinates are right, and if the cache is still in place.

yip, it is there, and coords should be good enough (due to trees). The "D" rating reflects the hide.

Coordinates changed from:
S 41° 31.749 E 173° 51.920

Coordinates changed to:
S 41° 31.728 E 173° 51.923

Distance from original: 128.4 feet or 39.1 meters.

I think this ones been taken!!

Good hiding spot

A nice quick find with tmann and P.Emily while in the area for the weekend.

What a quaint cemetery.

Little misleading as it is on cemetery grounds but sucessfully found it

2nd visit. First logged at least a year or so back but wasnt showing a smiley.

TFTC

Thanks! First find South Island.

Out and about on a stifling Friday evening with hubby (Kiwimykl) adding to my total by collecting a whole bunch of local caches. We went to the furthest from home first and will work our way back to town along Old Renwick Road and its tributaries.

Kiwimykl already has this one which could have made it easier for me, but I didn't need his help for a QEF PnG. Took the opportunity to visit a few friends who are resting nearby.

TFTC B&W

Tricked by the rock. Sister did not like the beetle on lid. Thanks.

We did go into the cemetery as it was inside the fence.

#1334 I wasn't sure if I needed to look at GL or above so I did both. I found the cache in the last place I looked.

☺

Stopped for a cuppa and just happened to check GPS for nearest cache. Quick walk and grab had it in no time. TFTC

Cemetery looking very picturesque in late afternoon sun...tftc

Good easy find

Great hide

Finally a fine weekend. Off on a campervan trip with my caching pal Bbear.
Off to the supermarket. Time for some Park and Grabs.

A caching adventure in Blenheim with my buddy Nosynel, we join forces to become cache team NosyBear. This was part of the trail we followed on the trip. Nice quick find. Cheers for the cache.

Having finished the work I needed to do in Blenheim a little earlier than expected, I had the chance to grab some caches on the way back to Nelson.

I was initially going to pass this one by as a local gardening and landscaping crew were in residence, but I was pleased to see that the GZ was a little further on.

I found a few possible hiding options but turned out to be a quick find at the right one.

Thanks

on the way a short stop to find the cache,
no muggle = no problems, thanks for the cache

Happy small geokid.

Mrs Waimearev had a day meeting Marlborough so Waimearev tagged along and spent the day ducking and diving geocaching. Thanks for the geocache hide.

TFTC Found a few weeks ago

Once I had been fortified after my 5hr MTB ride earlier in the day it was time to climb aboard the cachemobile and go sign off a few caches out Renwick way. Just as I got out of the vehicle the Council mower guy decided to mow the grass in the GZ area. I had to wait him out before making the grab and signing. The rush was then on to get it replaced before he moved on to the grass verge where I had parked the cachemobile. Made it! Phew! Thanks for the cache.

Felt a bit strange lurking around the cemetery but good fun all the same. TFTC

This place is immaculate! We were followed by a very friendly fantail for a while. Quick find - tftc

Nana yet again!!

Very well hidden red jar was covered in leaves

Mrs Kiwimykl and I were in this area placing a cache this morning and took the opportunity to grab this at the same time.

I took the CO's advice and parked in the cemetery and followed c:geo's directions. Once we got under cover of the trees though the compass froze, so I went back until I started getting reliable readings again, took notice of where I needed to go and paced out the distance maintaining the same direction.

At my estimated GZ, there was a feature obvious to GCers which proved to be what we were after. The log was quickly out and signed. Then we took the opportunity to pay our respects to some friends and colleagues I have worked with during 37 years in the NZDF.

TFTC B&W

I was down in Christchurch last night to see the Foo Fighters play...awesome concert. I managed to find a cache while I was down there, thus keeping up my daily streak, but the wife and daughter came to find this while I was gone so I figured I should give it a try today. TFTC!

Thanks - was my first find... Pleased it was an easy find to keep me motivated. Can easily see this becoming an addiction (things could be worse)

In an effort to keep my streak going, I ventured out here today with the Girl Spawn. It took us a few minutes because the details said we didn't need to enter, but we did actually have to go inside the fence. However, was happy to find it pretty quickly once we figured out that little nugget! Found with FluffyUnicorn02. TFTC!

Quick drive and find with mumma dearest. Bit confused about the details at first but we're pretty sharp and figured it out. Found with coastalmartinis. TFTC!

A nice quick find this afternoon. Unfortunately I know far too many people at rest here, hopefully no more visits this year. TFTC

A pleasant spot on this hot windy afternoon. TFTC

Great spot. TFTC

What a lovely cemetery we haven't had a cache in a cemetery for a while.

[green] Believe it or not, most of my geocaching since I came to Blenheim 6 months ago has been just playing. Now the real work begins, fixing the gaps in the calendar. Yep, dot days. Today is the first of four left this year, but there is quite a stack next year to work on. It is really windy so I decide to do just a short cycle around the block.
Surprising container - I thought it still had jam inside! Cycled around to check out the gent in the attached photograph. Love the poppy!
Man this place is HUGE!!

Lovely place. Ttfc

Perfect coords and Cache in good condition, thanks.

Nice find. TFTC.

My Baby Sister comes here to put down my Travelbug.

A nice spot for a cache. TFTC

Our day had started badly and after three caches looked for, we still had found just one. This was just our second find for the day, so I suppose the odds are getting better!
Cemeteries always make for interesting cache placements, and this was no exception. TFTC.

#8092. A big cemetery out in the country, and a quick find. TFTC.

I had a day off so I decided to get a few caches before it rained,
a nice quiet spot for a cache, GPS co-ordinates were pretty good
