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

Nope, nothing here

Another one that looks like it needs to go

like everyone else we searched but couldn't find it, my son ended up in the hedge to look. Stopped when I read the other logs

Almost went inside the hedge and still did not find it

As with other hunters ... we were unable to locate today

This is not here. CO appears to be disinterested. Recent hedge clipping and tidying would have put this at risk anyway.

Went for another look yesterday; no luck. Went back today with walking pole, and when I got to GZ encountered a couple of cachers already searching. They had no luck and went in search of greener pastures. I gave the hedge a pretty thorough poking, but all I found was rubbish.

Time for this one to go. ST stole the log book some months back, and the CO hasn't replaced it (in fact the CO seems to have been inactive for well over a year). The hedge is not a great place to hide a cache.

Had a decent look; no luck for me today.

Search and searched, even got into the bushes! No deal

Quick find on a wet Sunday morning

Thanks. Cool hiding spot. I added something to the Cache

Harmony and i found it! It has been muggled.

Has been muggled by smelly toes! Left a piece of cardboard with name and date in it.

Found it but someone has stolen the log book

Tftc

Found after brunch round the corner. TFTC

My 1st NZ cash

Left something good and sparkly! Nobody else seemed to get the yellow/gold concept though?

Looked again with RikJWells but still no luck.

No much today

Scrabbled about in the hedge a bit having used satellite map to locate it. To many people about to search properly.

A bit of discreet peering in hedges and I had this one...Cricketers all looking at a 4 or a wide.....tftc

Enjoying a long and sunny weekend in Christchurch . After enjoying the Riccarton market CeeZeeWees and I enjoyed some geocaching. Quick find on our way home. TFTC

Quick n easy grab on the way home

TFTC

After a good look I could not find it

TFTC - easy fun find. It was uncovered but we covered it again in exact same spot. No Pen or pencil so might put one in next time passing.

Looked yesterday and had no luck, quick trip today and found it super quick! Tftc

Spent most of my time on the wrong side. Just about to give up when I found it. TFTC

Hahahaha found after like 3 attempts. Can't believe I struggled so mych

TFTC! Found yesterday with odgersaj

17:28
Went to this cache but noticed that there is a muggle playing **bassoon**, nah, kidding - just sitting in a car parked real close to GZ. Went to grab another cache but the muggle was still there when I came around the second time but now I was already aware of thim and approached at an angle where he shouldn't be able to see me and then ducked to grab the container.

Thanks for the cache!

Bit of a search here but found it eventually. Busy road TFTC

As a part time student working towards my MGSc Challenge I found myself needing to redo one of the requirements. That is to find five caches in a single night during the hours of darkness. As I was going to be in Christchurch for the evening I made a plan and then a list and this cache was on it.
Well this cache was easier to find in the dark because of less people making use of the park but also harder because I really couldn't see anything. Once a car from the drive opposite drove off I went back to my car and got my torch. This is the only cache of the night that I used it for but I'm still glad I had it as I normally leave it at home and then wish I had it with me. There is only so much light generated by my phone or GPSr. Certainly not enough to find this cache.
GPSr took me straight to it so once I had my torch it was a very quick find.
Thanks for the hide this was the third find for the night.

Found after digging through lots of leaves. Luckily the kids in the playground were having too much fun to pay any attention to me. Not much Kowhai left in the cache, more ma-whero coloured swaps than anything else. TFTC!

Good find for N today. Tftc

Tftc

It was getting really late by any standard as I was coming past, but I felt lucky, and decided to give this one another go, and BINGO! Found within a couple of minutes this time, after a few unsuccessful visits in the last couple of year TFTC!!

Have to be sneaky! TFTC

Easy find today. Definitely wasn't in this spot last time I looked. Tftc. Done the daily. Phew!

Grabbed my muggle friends and we set off to find the closest caches to their house and teach one of them about caching to get them hooked. Construction crew was nearby but this was at the other end so they didn't suspect a thing. No muggles about this overcast morning. Thank you for my first cache in N Zed! I learned a little Maori pronounciation on this one.

There was no easy but I fund it hehe!

Yay

took some searching... burried deep....

Hard to find but had alot of fun looking for it

Found it with andreppc! So much fun doing it at night! TFTC

Found with Matthew and Sam. Thanks for the cache.

Took a while.....was buried under a lot of leaves!

Not for us today. Spent too much time without success

Last time I tried to find this one it was dark and I lost my car keys. No drama today and the hedge has been trimmed but no find for me.

No luck today, but the search was a bit half-hearted (due to drifts of leaves, ample muggles, and a cold southerly).

Nice quick find. And lovely park for kids to play in. Wun/win for all jn family TFTC

Was worried that road works would make it inaccessible, but no worries! TFTC

Found on an evening stroll. Thanks.

Gotya!!! Finally... It appears my GPS is out and having seen the last two logs of "founds" thought I better go and get one of my neighbourhood caches!! TFTC:-)

Slipperyfox

Found a little blue box with everything yellow inside.

Didn't find it

Another day, another DNF. Looking at the pattern of (did not) finds even before it went missing, this may not be a difficulty 1.0 cache me thinks. Getting to the frustrating stage now.

Really?!!

I'm still having no luck here!! Will come again!

Good to see this one has been replaced, now I can check it off the list. Left a yellow dinosaur. Tftc.

Looked for a while. Can't see it sadly

Found with 4yr old nephew . Good find!! Made sure it was well hidden again

Spent a while searching but could not find.

I replaced this cache the other day, but have only just remembered to enable it again. There is a brand new cache waiting to be found.

I have a new container, and swag so will replace this cache this afternoon

Hopefully this will get noticed and some action will result?

I had a look for this cache and couldn't find it. I'm not sure if it is a case of cache creep, or if it has been muggled. I will get a new container and replace it in the next few days. Last time this happened, people then started finding two.

Hmmmm... should've read the pile of DNF logs before we even started tracking this one

Clearly not there but at least we were brought to a nice spot.

See list of logs and no reaction to the needs maintenance notice.
No luck for us as well after a frustrating search. Far too much time spent for a difficulty 1

Spent a long time looking, not here

I have stopped here a few months ago to hunt for this one, did not find it, so I retuned today with a fresh pair of eyes. Still nothing, even after a lengthy search. If it is there, it is definitely not a difficulty 1 cache, if it is not, it need to be checked. Thanks

Needs checked, see log - if present, the rating may need to be adjusted, see http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=82

Spent half hour trying to find it only to be told that the location is used as a toilet when cricket is being played.

Did not find

Missing, needs checking out

Found on 27 October 2015 10:20 by the McCutchan Cache Clan, this is our 2532 geocache found. Logged from a Samsung Galaxy S6

Nope.. Thanks anyway

Spent 30min looking. Will have to return for this one

Wintertime and lots of leaves so will leave this one until the summer!

Lost my cover when mini cacher an brother gave up after 10 mins an took off for a play. Thought this was going to be a quick in and out, not quite. Was hidden really really well. My partner found it in the end. Even with the help of the photo further back in the log, was still a good scramble and rummage to find it. I took the yellow spinning thing an left a yellow slinky. Great hide. Cache #2 for us!

Yay on the third attempt to find my gorgeous step daughter found it! Found with mr2tmab as well tftc

Yay on the third attempt to find my gorgeous step daughter found it! Found with mr2tmab as well tftc

Wow so very hard. Pick a better time than nightfall. Previous picture is spot on. Found with clue bug and mr2tmab

Found on the third attempt thank goodness for my gorgeous stepdaughter and found with mr2tmab tftc

After looking for this one for ages my daughter helped and found it

No joy today

To many muggles around to have a good look well try again soon

Found it

A photo from a previous cachers log helped me hone in on this one quickly. TFTC

We searched for 30 mins, but cache must be very well hidden!

No luck after a lot of fossicking

Ditto could not find

Awesome find

Difficult find, gpsr had me all over the place. Stood back and looked for signs of those before me. A bit of hedge damage, looks like a likely spot, thanks very much..!!
