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.

26-Oct-15
In town for a “Mega” weekend of caching. I joined up with Yeetrees and gonefishing to form Team YGB. I really enjoyed exploring the country roads of Canterbury. We travelled a fair few Kilometres in the 4 days we were here, and had a great time, with a lot of laughs along the way. Good weather, and good company. It doesn’t get much better than that does it.


Monday. Day Four, Area 4. Today we ventured north up towards Amberley. A change of scene from the long straight roads on the plains that we had experienced in the previous days. We then headed back to Pegasus and Rangiora to round out the day with a bit of urban caching.


Thanks to all the CO’s for all the caches we found.


Cheers and TFTC

Found during the Mega weekend on bit of a tiki-tour around the Canterbury back blocks. Great weather, great caches, great fun! Thanks to all the cache owners for putting out and maintaining caches for us to find. All in all, a fun road trip with Boxhill and Yeetrees, we signed many of the logsheets as YGB to save both time and logsheet spaces. Cool

On a night raid with TG and we wanted to knock off the new caches in the area before we headed out to the Tinkers to do a bit of checking and maintainace. We had an exciting evening, it was balmy out, lots of caches, poked our noses into to some fabulous spots, we were first on scene for a significant accident, thank God the dude walked out the the wreck unscathed. Crazy full moon and home to bed just before midnight.
This was one of the stops along the way. Quick find at GZ.

Thanks for the cache.

Mum and my brother were up for a few days, and well, caching together is our family bonding!! (Luckily! Razz Caching keeps us all happy! Razz Hahaha ) And so I left work early and mum came over, and we headed out this way for an afternoon/early evening of caching once we managed to tackle the traffic here.

I read the hint while we were walking towards the cache so the lot of us just swarmed the GZ!! Haha. Found the cache very quickly once there, as between the 3 pairs of eyes, and only one likely hiding spot, nothing could stay hidden too long!! hehehe.

TFTC!! Smile

We started looking for this cache yesterday, but didn’t find it immediately, and had to leave as we were short of time. Today we returned, and after modifying our thinking a little, the cache was quickly found. TFTC

Today I decided to do a run up to Rangiora and the area around it. I turned off the motorway and did a clockwise loop throught Eyreton. This was a quick park and grab. The logbook was completely full.

A bit of small talk required with passing muggles (initially suspected to be Mormons or JWs as they were a little overdressed for a Saturday morning in our opinion), but quickly found thereafter. TFTC.
