Highway 7 (North Canterbury) Mt Culverden, South Island, New Zealand
By Hello Mrs on 20-Mar-12. Waypoint GC3F1F2

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 a prior reviewer note.

Had a good look but very windy and no find

Hi TheWanglersThis 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.RegardsTheCoddiwompler

After scrabbling around for a while we had to admit defeat and move on.

Didn’t find this time but there are lots of places it could be

No very safe place to pull off the road. Returning from Hamner Springs was better, but I was unable to put my hand on the cache today.

Second attempt needed on the way home. TFTC

After clearing all but three caches on the Molesworth Road between the locked gates before it closes very very soon for the season, I headed home. This was the first stop along the way.

I had looked for this one only once previously, when I had only been caching for a month or so. This time I had better luck, on the other side of the growth than last time. Picked up some teeth too.

On my way north and getting some caches on the way. All good with the cache. Thanks

Tftc and greetings from Czechia.

Had a quick look but then it was time to head home. Thanks anyway.

Tftc, hidden my teeth in there!!

Thanks for the cache!

Caching around the Amuri Basin. Watched a mufti cop in a brown Mazda pull over a speeding motorist very close to the cache; TFTC

Cute swaps in it. TFTC. also the cows were very noisy.

Found it after a bit of bush bashing. Tftc

Found with squip, tftc!

A bit of a reach, but i got it. There's a very chilly wind here today.
Thanks for putting this here for us to find

TFTC

Lovely stop on our journey home from Hanmer

Such a cool hidden place! Thank you! It's a great way to drive to chch lol

Heading back to Christchurch after a hoilday break in Hanmer- tftgc

Had a run to do for work, Waipara - Springs Junction then Springs - Wakefield... I hadn't checked the road closures and when I got to Springs, I found out 65 was closed... All good, I came back and intended to do some caching on the way back... luckily I left, about an hour after I came back through, Springs - Hamner closed. This was the only cache I got in the end, slack!


TFTC TheWanglers, the cache was found in good order Signed, sealed and returned to GZ. 1 find(s) of 1 today, making this find #3138

Yes a very busy road. No where to hide. I'm sure people thought I was mad.

On a 3 week South Island road trip.
I wouldn't normally stop at a random roadside cache, but I'm carrying a TB that wants to visit State Highway caches, and thus cache even has SH7 in its name!

Had to look twice before I spotted this in its nest. I'm sure the tractor driver ploughing the adjacent field thought I was doing something dodgy screened by the trees!

Full log to come

Day 1 of a road trip round the South Island, and today it was Nelson to Gore Bay, where our family have hired a bach for the long weekend. So we couldn’t get everything on our trip, so I cherry-picked a list of favourable caches - letterboxes, higher fave points, but more often just those on our side of the road for the direction we are travelling. Plus, a special effort in getting most caches in and around Waiau and on the road to SH1. 17 in all found, and into Gore bay by 3pm to enjoy the rest of the day. TFTC all COs, sorry for the cut and paste, if there is anything specific about this cache it is mentioned below.

Yep, the traffic was ripping through here but thankfully due to the start of a long weekend it was mostly the other way. Quick find, TFTC hello Mrs.

Located with Ricardinho

Day 1 of our roadtrip, Brightwater to Gore Bay & we are exploring along the way & grabbing caches RNZ has pre-selected. What a gorgeous day & drive to Gore Bay!! Loved it

Quick park & grab

Found it. Lovely cache thanks

2 April 2021 11:55. A 6 day road trip with GSEL, to capture as many of the PWGT caches as possible, and others as time permitted. Thank you for placing this for us to find.

#9302. Its Good Friday. The start of an Easter road trip to the South Island to pick up a swag of geotour caches in Canterbury, West Coast and Otago over the extended Easter break. Doing this trip with caching buddy Infoferret as we decided to share the cost of a rental car and fuel plus share the driving with the long distances planned for this trip. We hired a hybrid car and it was a good choice as it was economical but easily made it through all the long distances with no concerns over fuel tank capacity. Today we are heading to Hokitika via Hanmer Springs, Lewis Pass, Reefton and Greymouth (just 25 litres of fuel used for this day).

Making our way north now. Stopped here for another park and grab. There were several places it could be hidden but soon looked in the correct spot and had the cache in hand. Signed the logbook and replaced everything as found. Thanks Hello Mrs for the cache.

I write "WRITE NOTE" because it is a time when we can't go on a long adventure, so I travel in the memories of my visits to New Zeusemad. Of this adventure in New Zealand, I only stretch Travel Bug. Writing "FOUND IT" is probably not right anymore, it wasn't today, but I was here before. And unfortunately I won't get here again.

I am sending a beautiful greeting from the Czech Republic.

Setting off on a week-long road trip to upgrade IT at our South Island branches; a chance for some selective caching en route.

Not the sort of location I’d prepared myself for but only the one possible place to be looking. A quick find.

Thanks TheWanglers

Logged using Cachly.

I stopped the car and T00thless popped out to seek the cacheTFTC

Heading home and thought we'd get this cache. Did drive past initially and Angie parked up while I walked back. Was a fun search, careful of uneven ground. Amusingly just after I found this cache a Police car drove by. ??

Miserable and wet out today so I was reluctant to get put to find this. All good though. Thanks for the cache

Nice quick drive by...found all good here ..thanks Hello Mrs

Found on my geocaching road trip on the way to Canterbury Faire. Second part of the trip after camping just off the road

Tftc

Decided to make a quick stop on our wsyto Cheviot. Cheeky driver thought I was messing with him when I was counting down meters to the final and shot right past it! Turned around for a smiley. Tftc.

Cache was a quick find on my way home from Hanmer Springs.

Homeward bound from Hanmer Springs. Picked up a TB

One of a small number located in Hanmer and on our way back to Christchurch today. A quick stop and find near the start of our homeward journey. #2347. TFTC.

On our way home from an overnight excursion to Hanmer and we stopped to pick this one up. Great views from here, TFTC

Our 4th cache

We found this on the way home from Hanmer, easy missed if going to quick.

Very nice cache!

Great place to stop and watch the sunrise

Quickly found. Busy Sunday drive back from a relaxing weekend in Hanmer Springs for my birthday? Tftc

Even following the hint it took me longer than I expected. A stunning Canterbury scene, thanks for inviting me to stop and TFTC!

That was quite a long scenic drive. ReCached and I could totally use a brake and what better place to have it than next to a geocache. We knew what to look for, but even after a few minutes the box didn't show up. We looked again... and there it was. TFTC Hello Mrs!

Cache #2430

Took us a few minutes to find it but that was good, we needed a break

Roadside find with fellow team callietaube

Found it with Ray

Found on our way back from a wk end in hanmer springs, a little more difficult than a 1.5 rating I think due to the parking. Cheers for the cache

This was the fifth day of my driving trip down to Oamaru for Geofest 2017. I stopped every five to ten kms or so along the way to grab a cache. This expanded my driving time to a total of two weeks to get there and home again. I ended up going a total of 3,500 kms. TFTC.

CZECH
pěkné blbé místo pro kešku, ale když jsme po ní jeli, tak jsem ji ulovil

Easy find.

Having finished our caching in Hanmer Springs we got back on Highway 7 heading for Christchurch. Seemed appropriate to make a quick stop here. Thanks.

Thanks for the cache.

Didn't have time to stop going north, but had time on the way back. TFTC
