Caught Out! (Canterbury) Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand
By 3Fish,1Scoop on 01-Sep-12. Waypoint GC3VW4M

Archived as requested

Cache appears to have gone missing. Will disable until I have a chance to replace.

After reading other logs it was obvious what I thought I was looking for and it was probably right in front of me... still didn't find it...

4 days, 1600 KM's, 0ver 300 caches found, a whirlwind of a road trip,great fun.

4 days of cheap motels, washing back greasy cheeseburgers with ice cool 7 Up, of flat tires, great scenery, good weather, good company,riding shot gun, shared driving, speed tickets, mars bars, bottled water, photo ops and finding caches .

Couldnt open the cache

Phew! finally found it......awesome container....glad we finally cracked it after a few go's

Don't you hate it when everyone else thinks it's easy .... my GPSr said one thing, my phone another, I walked up & down, looked up & down... but not far enough.
Eureka moment & a definite favourite from me.
Thanks for the effort you have gone to with this cache.

I love this cache.On a roll our second find of the day. And close to the park where the kids run wild in the (thankfully empty) stream! TFTC

We just wonder how we missed it last time, but of course the recent gardening helped a wee bit with the cache a little bit more exposed (hopefully not too much. TFTC

Great container
Thanks

Nice cache, lovely spot. Tftc

Great one!!! Quick find.

Awesome wee cache. I liked the effort you went to with this.

Awesome Just realised I hit a century on this one. Wahoo!!!!

Hmm, that is disappointing reading now all the logs about an easy find. With the terrain rating it should be easy to reach - but not for us. Will keep an eye on this cache.

Clever

Great hide and clever container

Old boots knew what he was looking for and was proved right. TFTC

A neat cache container. TFTC

Dried and replaced

Will dry log and replace plastic bag. Cache will be back in play shortly

Was caught out by this one as it didn't show on my gps so RuruNZ headed to where she was being shown and I checked the opposite side only to find the cache. It's a bit damp inside and log is starting to feel damp as well. Tried to dry container as much as possible but suggest a bag for log book by CO or next finder would be in order.

Abducted kiwcampnut to "help me find a treasure". She willingly came.
After confirming that my nearby puzzle cache was indeed missing in action we made the most of the couple of hours she was allowed o be away by finding 5 around the Heathcote area. This was the third.

I headed to the right as we got out of the car. Kiwicampnut was heading for the picnic cache, and wanted to know where I was going. For some reason this wasn't on her GPSr (makes a change, it's usually me who doesn't have the up-to-date info). After confirming that it was still "live", with a find just a few days ago (pinocchio's log wasn't on my phone) it was found in a short time - and just what I thought it would be based on cache info.

Nice hid, and thanks.

Innovative cache - must have been fun organizing this one! TFTC

Day 2 of 31 days saw me here to get a smiley from logging this cache.

Last time in the area there was a cricket match on so gave it a miss. Today, all quiet at GZ and a quick and fun find was made.. Thanks for the hide.

Yay! Tftc. Great creative cache.

I kind of knew what I was looking for based on the title and sure enough there it was. Nice hide. Thanks

I knew what I was looking for based on the clue so it was a pretty quick find JUST before school finished, phew!
Thanks for a clever hide, hope it lasts
(The log is slightly damp BTW)

Tftc.

Found by esinmcw and graemeann. Tfgc

Well done cache.

Great hide. Giving a favorite Tftc

Quick find.

Visiting from Nelson and we too had taken a trip up the newly opened gondola. Sobering to look down on the road as well. This was close at the bottom and Sobad is a cricket fan so an obvious one to try. Mrs Sobad did not need his expertise though as she spotted what she thought she might spot quickly. Still a nice hide.
Thanks.

Very clever! Caching with the grand kids today TFTC

Had us stumped for a while

After a trip on the newly reopened Gondola, this was a close by cache to introduce a friend visiting from Auckland, to GeoCaching. Clever Hide. Hopefully it doesn't get hit for six anytime soon! Thanks for the cache.

Replaced lid

A great hide

Lid missing?

2nd visit. This time no muggles around having a pre-Christmas aprty with bouncy castle, Santa on a Fire Engine etc. to get in my way. Cache found after a brief search. Some maintenance required as the container top is missing.

Great hide thanks

Well I didnt get caught out on this one,, A nice easy find. TFTC. Cheers Bo

CLEVER

OUt and about for a few caches and fun on Waitangi Day. Great cache! Kids loved this one. Building nearby looking rather sad. Hope it's fixed some action taken soon. TFTC

I intended to hunt for this a couple of weeks ago but a match was on and the place was teaming with muggles. Today in the rain the place was deserted. I half expected a container of that colour! Cool.

great little find, very cunning, thanks. a little dodgy with the backtowork bbq in the same area.

Jesse Ryder must have been playing this day!!! Great cache, very clever

Took grandson Reuben (5) out geocaching while his little sister slept at home with Grandma and newborn brother did whatever newborns do! We forgot to take the GPS or any other information so relied on cunning and skill to find caches, as well as doing several I had already found, allowing Reuben to find them. This is one of those caches. Reuben was very impressed with venue and cache as his father and uncle play club cricket. Took other grandson the next day, along with his father who told us that this cricket ground was where he scored his latest 50! Rodney

Today the weather was a bit miserable, but seeing as we haven't recently relocated to Burnham from Dunedin we figured we'd better get out and stretch the legs with S-L-P, so we picked up a few caches around town.

She had found this one in a different location, so we parked some distance from GZ, I ended up getting pretty wet, but found the cache without too much trouble.

Nice to see you thinking outside the oval on this one. Signed log on 15 January 2013 at 12:34:00

Met the owners of this cache while on holiday and discovered that it is only 1 km from our home so it really had to be done. Nice bit of camoflauge and sure that any batsmen would be happy if they could hit the ball to GZ on the full. TFTC

Great hide! TFTC

Quickish find with Andfriend and Chesnutz. Great camo. TSLO, and a favourite point from me.

As the other members of the family have said we took a few minutes out from our games in the domain after Christmas dinner to find this and another cache. Great fun! TFTC. #155

Found during some Christmas Day Forced Family Fun. Really enjoyed the container.

I really liked this cache. Found while playing in the park during forced family fun.

4905. A quick and easy find. Just what we expected for the container. Very nice! My sons sometimes play cricket here and love the short boundaries! I coached many of the Heathcote boys (men) in the Linwood College First XI. Thanks for the cache. Rodney and Iris.

Thought we knew what we would be looking for but couldn't see where it could be ! A local food market was in full swing in the upper stands, a school cricket match was in top action on the pitch so it was busy enough to include cachers on the out field. Howzat! bowled & caught & their match was over just as we were about to leave. Had to have a closer look & then found the cache! Very well done!

Well done

Found this cache in the early evening and then drove to ashburton in tears listening to the NZ cricket team loosing wickets faster than I find caches.

Howzat!!! What a brilliant hide and container. Looks like it went all the way to the boundary. Wasn't too sure if we'd be able to catch this one or not looking at recent logs. And with it being muggled recently. But we found it and we were impressed. Good job on the container! A favourite from us. Now to satisfy the bargain with the kids and go off to find a playground. The one nearby with the flying fox is spectacular. Good fun. Boy was it windy today. It was a bit scary to see the empty section were the old malt works used to be.

Coordinates changed to:
S 43° 34.834 E 172° 42.512

Distance from original: 30.6 feet or 9.3 meters.

After some confusion I have updated the coordinates slightly. The cache does not require you to jump the fence to the railways land.

Not out!

My GPSr kept pointing over the fence into the rail reserve, so I didn't follow it there, of course.
(Perhaps the owner can clarify that it's not on railways land?)

Relocated today and updated coordinates. Caught Out is back with a fresh container and new log book

Enable listing after relocation and new container

Two of us around looking for 15mins but nothing spotted.

Had a good look around, but obviously not good enuf

Thanks for logging today's DNF's. I went and checked the hiding place and found that the cache has been muggled. Disappointing ... but it will be back. Just need a little time to replace with a new container same or similar to the original. Thanks for the kind comments from those who logged their visits.

Not well hidden easy find. TFTC

Quickly caught. TFTC.

This was our first cache just the two of us and having not known what to look for or to expect it took us a while to find this one, and we were not disappointed, we love the container - good effort! Tftc

Out and about in the evenings daarkness....nearby so detoured to collect. Not surprisingly no one around....quick easy find in the first place I looked. Nicely done. Cheers.

Tennis really, I use to play cricket. I remember on one occasion I was bowling to an ex county player actually, I gave him a half volley just outside the off stump, he put his left foot down the wicket, he hit the ball back at me like a bullet didn't have chance to move, ball hit me straight between the eyes. Great Cache - TFTH

A neat little themed cache in a very pleasant area. Nice to arrive at a place like this after bump, bump bump. Thank you.

TFTC. I have spent a lot of time supporting and watching my son play cricket, but unfortunately never at this lovely ground. Great container.
A lovely spot to come and have a relaxing spring lunch.
A favourite vote from me.

Well done 3 scoops

Darn. We did our best to get here for an FTF. Oh well. Should have waited a few minutes and instead gone for the other one which was nearer to home.

FTF woohoo! Great hide, looking forward to more!

Lots of cachers out early today. We were certainly not the 2nd tf. Well worth going for a drive to find it. TFTC

Mporokosa and I headed to the valley early enough for FTF or so we thought. Managed 2TF being well beaten by SLP. Love the container! TFTC.

Clever little hide. Very appropriate. TFTC.

Calm spring arvo ideal for a a few quick caches

A quick find on a Fathers Day Caching trip.Luv your container,very appropriate.TFTH
