As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm temporarily archiving this to keep it from continually showing up in search lists. Just contact us when you have the cache repaired, and assuming it still meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

didn't find. Please remove

CO hasn't logged in for quite a while, time to go maybe?

i also agree so many DNF it needs to be archived

So many DNF's. I think the owner should look into this one.

Had a bit of a search, but unable to locate.

bushes have been removed

Couldnt find

As withothers coord way off. Had a short search but had no joy. Lost interest pretty quick.

Didn't find it had me, hubby and 2 kids looking for it. Based on other comments I think owner needs to look into this.

Co ods 18 metres into the neighbourng house, didn't bother looking.

Co ordinates indicate that it was in the neighbour's house.

Co-ords had us on a neighbouring property? Figured out which lane it meant but pick your bush, clearly lots are growing rampant now so had a quick fossick then gave up.

Co ords way out.. Didn't find! oh well.. On to the next

Out to find a few caches around Rangiora this afternoon. Coords seem a bit off but with several of the bushes gone there aren't that many options. Made a swap. TFTC!

Co-ords took us to the end of the road but at lovers lane entrance all of the cover bushes have been cut back so suspect this cache has been muggled. Hunted around but nothing left. Needs a check from the owner.

Frustrated with incorrect coords and a load of bushes recently cut and removed so wondering if cache has gone walkies?? Also lots of muggles so left this one

Found easily enough today. TFTC SL

TFTC SL Lots of rubbish here. Cache in amongst it. Hope cache doesn't go missing if someone cleans up this area.

Easily found
I have a bit of a story for this one...i took my one year old in the pram with me today and while I was searching in the bushes a car stopped on the other side of the road and was just waiting there, they took off after I emerged from the shrubs and I realised what they had seen!
A baby in a pram abandoned in an ally! Oh dear, they must have been quite confused and worried!
Then what did they think when I came out? They may have thought I was going to the toilet in the bush! Oh my goodness. What an event.

There was little coverage here so once I stepped into the area to start looking I saw it right away. Needs a new log book. Tftc

New log book please

Like others, GPS distance out, jacket still there along with heaps of other rubbish, log full, TFTC

Lots of random crap inside this one!

tftc

Post "snogging" time, so one about.

Thanks for the hide. Didn't seem to be close to coordinates so needed to look at other posts for clues.

One of 40 caches found today. A pretty quick find. Thanks for the cache. Log is full.

Previous logs did help pinpoint it - about 14m from the coordinates based on the geocaching.com app on my phone. Easy enough find in the end though.
If anyone has time (& gloves & a rubbish bag) some CITO wouldn't go amiss.

A bit like a craypot. Spotted the cache quickly but getting to it looked tricky. Got there. Getting out was easy.

Bahaha this one was not an easy find this took a bit for the group to find... No barking dogs this time though!!

Took 5 noisy kids and 2 adults a while to find this but we conquered it in the end.

This one challenged us a little more....but kids had fun rummaging through the bushes! And they found some awesome swaps!!!

It didn’t take too long to find this cache, with some help from previous logs. There is currently an old jacket near the cache. TFTC

A part of Rangiora that we did not know existed - TFTC

This one beat us yesterday but we had more luck when we searched today. TFTC.

Yappy dog opposite GZ had the owner complaining about the noise - as I rustled more, so the dog barked more. A relief for me, dog and owner when log was signed.

Fairly quick find after reading hint in a previous log.
Cheers Gav

Find #12

Took us five minutes to look around for it. The gps gave me the impression that the cache was a wee way from the road (down the path quite a way). Ended up being closer than I thought to good street. Weekend afternoon was a good time no muggles past us. Had to climb into the bushes and walk along the fence before I found it. Grabbed a coin and a small cat toy, left a bracelet. TFTC!

Easy find, I did not realize this lane existed until today, TFTC.

Quick find on our Ringa Rangiora tour. TFTC.

Quick find. Took coin and left a coin.

Quick find. TFTC.

Quick find. Dropped geocoin. Thanks

tftc easy find

GPS was all over the place. Guessed in the end. Quiet here today. Thanks coopdaddy99

Quick find after we looked in the right position lol TFTC

Found on our caching tour of Sth Island with Skullracing after the mega. geoP and Skulldaddy went for a short walk to quickly grab this one. No offence to Skulldaddy, but definitely no canoodling making this find.

TNLN TFTC

#3365 Found on our tour of the South Island with DazzPete. We had not done such an amount of caching in one day since we landed here. GeoP and Dad wandered off together for the find and soon located the container in an obvious location - 2 people from 2 different teams, no shenanigans today . Our thanks to coopdaddy99 for the cache. Cheers from Australia [^]

#4284. Took longer to outlast the muggles than find the cache. Interesting lane; seems to run for quite some distance. TFTC.

A nice wee walkway. We arrived the same time as a couple walking a dog so had to wait until they walked on before looking for the cache.
TFTC.

Not too fond of caches so close to the neighbourhood fences. The GPS seemed to put the cache 15 m into the neighbours yard. I took a new reading so use these if you get stuck.

Co-ordinates didnt seem to be in the right place. But we found it in the end.

The coordinates were out a little. However a little sleuthing had it in hand fairly easily. TFTC

Took a bit but managed it finally. #21 of 28 today. TNLN Thanks

Easy find but no TB seen. Tftc

The GPS was trying to get me into trouble by aiming me at the middle of the adjoining house.
Caching instincts saved the day and log was soon signed.
Cheers and thanks,
s.t.

RuruNZ found this while I stood guard as a dog walking muggle came past. It's amazing how one can look like they are picking up rubbish easily. RuruNZ found this as like Sandfly Tucker my gps wanted me to be 14+ metres away from the location. Owner may want to check and update co-ordinates. No sign of any TB's in cache either.

Had a good hunt for this in the bushes a little further up the lane than I found it. GPS wanted me to be ont he other side of the fence - in private property! Having looked at the closest point I could be with no luck for a while (there are a lot of bushes!) I decided to wander away and come back and see whether the GPS changed it's mind. It didn't, but I took a look behind something that was very casually out of place, and bingo. Sooo surprised it's lasted there so long. My GPS was at least 9m out.
No sign of TB.

tftc

Had to wait for a dog walker then had the place to myself

Found this one with the aid of the more accurate co-ords.

Coords given by recent log were spot on. No students about today. TFTH

A quick easy find with no muggles today. A very busy place, took a few visits to not be seen.

Coords were a bit out for us also. Mrs D finally located the treasure near the entrance on the other side of the lane that we initially searched. TFTC

FOUND IT

Had a bit of a scout around and finally found it, I justmade haed work of it but got it in the end. Some of the bushes have had a bit of a thrashing. the coordinates that I had when I located the cache were.. S 43 17.776 E 172 35.559. TFTC. Cheers Bo

TFTC

Found it after reading the logs. TFTC.
This log posted with CacheSense for Android!

Bit of a crawl. Coords a bit wild.
Thank you for placing this cache.

Coords pointed to private property, but actually helped us make the find. Dodged college age walkers.

Dropped off wee dudes in the early evening for a sleepover at their grandparents. Mrs G suggested a nighttime caching adventure to Rangiora...who was I to complain?! #9 (of 21) on our adventure. Co-ords had me scratching around some large bushes....eventually found closer to the entrance. Co-ords a bit off. Should have picked that up by reading some of the earlier logs. Got there though; bit dodge at night but no worries, no one else around! ...Thanks.

Found it, was that harrisons handwriting on one of the notes in there.
Bryn.

Quick find thanks LGM

Very Dodgy Location.

Fine sunny Sunday afternoon. Location leaves a bit to be desired - dog poop etc all around., but found it anyway. TN:LN. TFTC (#11)

Not one of the nicest places - just a lot of rubbish and coordinates more guessing than anything else. But found it in the end.

Not sure what I was looking for as had no details only the coords. Thankfully my iphone my came in handy to look up the listing details when I failed to find anything in the lane. TFTC

Had a bit more time today to re attempt this cache, almost gave up again but found it in the end.

FYI the idea is not just to get you close, the coords should be as accurate as possible - it isn't as bad here, but in Rolleston there is a cache (may have been corrected by now) where the coords but you in someones front garden, and this garden is so big and well kept it looks like a council reserve, I know of a few cachers who have unwittingly gone into this persons garden, me included. TFTC (678)

Easy find

easy find. took tb left tb

4360. Actually found this one on Feb 18 while on a short geocaching tour of North Canterbury but somehow forgot to log it with all the others!!! The GPS was out by about 10m on the day but with "just one more look before we leave" we managed to locate the cache on the opposite side of the path to where we had been looking. No sight or sound of the neighbourhood dog today, or any human muggles either, but bet it can be very busy here at times. Thanks Rodney & Iris.

Stop asking me to change the gps location im never going to update them EVER its easy without them the idea is it gets u close to cache

Found by clues rather than GPS which was a bit off

Lots of muggles about today. A lovely wooden camper van outside lovers lane. Went on clue. TFTC.

bit of a scrabble with the GPS accuracy but found it

Found it using clues wisely coordinates off TFTC

.

A quick find and no issues with the co-ords, seem OK to me.
TFTC

Found after lengthy search in mulch

New coordinate reading needs to be taken

Due to the coordinates being way off - couldn't find it.

Went looking for this but the GPS had me in private property and now that I go to log it I see that another cacher has updated the coordinates quite a bit. Please amend the coordinates on the site.

TFTC - Another quick find on a sunny Canterbury day!

Great hide.TFTC!

No courting couples this afternoon, just dog walkers; TFTC.

Took a few minutes to track down.-Bitsprayer

My two year old found this one, thanks for the cache

Luckily a very quiet lane today, so no problems here. TFTC

Looked in wrong bushes at first but then found the right one. Luckily nobody else was using the walkway until we had finished. TFTC coopdaddy99
