Time for this one to go, the muggles keep returning to it, so it has to go. Cheers BB
Politely asked the busker muggle if he wouldn't mind me having a look around his setup, and explained the sport. He'd heard of it before but didn't realise there was one here. He was happy to let me poke me around. Cache in good condition, thanks.
Found it last night! Made my first-time geocaching friends super excited! Thanks for the hide and replacement.
We just had done dinner across the road and thought we'd see if there were any caches nearby. Found this one! Very handy, but could be tricky with lots of muggles about. TFTC 
Quick find, though we did have to wait for a few people to move along before we could grab this one.
Maintenance done by Arandee, back to original format, lets hope it stays muggle free... Thanks Arandee. BB
3rd attempt to find this cache tonight - Arandee has found it before & confirmed it's not there - needs replacing.
OK this one has lasted 2 years in a high muggle area so it's done well. I am taking it off line and will see if I can get a local to replace it.. BB
The plastic bag is destroyed...needs replacing. The log is full, I have put another strip of paper in the cache that will keep things going for a month or so.
Quick find during my first time in Blenheim! So many shops but they were all closed. TFTC
End of the working day and all workers have gone home which made things a lot easier. Sat down and the cache was soon at hand. TFTC
Had 10 minutes to kill while waiting for a pizza. So here I am and the coast was clear.
Very easy find. No problems with muggles. We thought about not even coming here as it was a Monday morning but it was really quiet here - maybe it was the chilly wind. The bag is ripped at the bottom and there is only 3-4 lines on the log so it will need maintenance soon. Thanks for the cache

Quick find by Oldest Eyes. Co-ordinates put me on the right road, but wrong side of the road. Description of cache put me right. TFTC.
My GPS took me on a merry dance here, but come commonsence and caching instinct made it easy.
Cheers and thanks,

[Green] My first cache in Blenheim. I have just joined up with the RNZAF and was a little worried that the 3 month recruit couse would extend my current slump of 46 days. I have been here 1 week now, and they gave us 2 hours town leave! Buy some chocolate and a pen (Forgot to bring one) then go find a cache. This one. Nice easy find, despite all the muggles around. Hope to get another next weekend.
Little busy when we walked passed earlier, so returned tonight. Quick find tftc
We looked at the location as we walked passed this afternoon but a muggle was sitting. This evening the coast was clear spotted quickly.
This seemed to be old PO location to us, new PO is around the corner. Took a wee break on the seat nearby and soon had the cache in hand. Feeling exhausted at his point as we had been awake since 5 am in the morning as our orginal Thurs night ferry sailing had been cancelled due to the wild weather. Thanks.

Trip out to go hiking over Easter weekend. Meant to find a cache every 50km as part of the licence series of challenges, however that failed somewhere along the lines... maybe it was that cyclone
Haha.
Wanted to get to the campsite night before, but the crazy weather meant we were lucky to make it to blenheim.
So we stayed the night there.
Headed off in the morning to get to the start of the track though... and keep going with my 50km cache... was a bit over, as this was only the second one since chch! But something to keep it going I guess!!
Easy find at this hour of morning on public holiday
Consec caching day # 530

GPS coordinates were a bit wayward but with the help of the comments and hint located it.TFTC
On limited time though. Thought we had it figured but weren't in any logical hidey holes but my 4 year old was the one looking so probably still there. Had a baby asleep so didn't look myself
First coords had us WAY out from where the cache is hidden. Used the hint/description though and the hide revealed itself very quickly after that.
I think Sunday was probably a good day to be hunting for this cache without attracting too much attention. - - Never-the-less there was a reasonable smattering of people about. TFTC
Nice inner city hide. Mrs Guzzi had it in a flash but then she dropped it. It could have been fatal but it fell in a manageable spot. Thank you
Blenheim is still busy early Sunday evening, wasn't quite where i thought but good hide TFTC

6039. We were in Blenheim as guest speakers at a Philippines Mission fundraising dinner on Saturday evening but had left Christchurch on Thursday so we could fit in a few geocaches. A very quick and easy find at GZ with few muggles around in the early morning. We had managed to park the campervan just around the corner. Thanks for the cache. Rodney and Iris.
We slept in Blenheim on our way to Kaikoura. Found an excellent B&B! One cache from every place to stay overnight so this was the Blenheim’s one 
Quick and easy in the morning. TFTC & greetings from Finland!

#7016. Coords had us on the opposite side of the road. Some research from Troodles revealed we needed to cross the road, and she spotted the cache as soon as we got to GZ. TFTC.
After we got to the right side of the road (thanks to the cache description), cache was a quick find on a quiet Saturday. TFTC.
In Blenheim with Waiiti20 for part of the day, so had to do a few caches. Having a couple of us there made this an easy grab and return. TFTC
Had to collect a little cash nearby so this was convenient to collect, TFTC, #5995
Find #216 for the BAMMJams - found at lunchtime on a workday! Cache was not where we expected as we approached GZ, but was found quicker and easier than if it was where we thought. Used the mini-BammJams as distractions for passing muggles, as we retrieved and replaced the cache. The mini-BammJams added a dice to the container, but no trinkets to take out. TFTC.
pretty easy finjavascript:openWindow2('/about/smilies.aspx')d muggles everywhere nice night for a stroll
Not very busy on Christmas day, so we decided to try first before the boxing day rush. Quick find, TFTC
alpenmilch80 and I drove today from Christchurch to Blenheim and after we checked in at the place we booked for the night we drove into town to find a restaurant...well, everything was closed so we ended up with some geocaching instead of dinner
The log is pretty full but we still found a place to sign.

Awesome little hiding spot! Fun to do with real stealth the Monday morning before Christmas!
13841... Coords a little bit out... found in the obvious spot... CBD was pretty quiet. TFTC.
A quick easy find while a woman sat nearby smoking. Fortunately she left before we returned to rehide it. TFTC
I've been staying in Blenheim to work in the vineyards so I thought I'd grab a few caches before I left. I took a few newbies along with me and they were excited about this one. We had to wait for a bit for the bench to be vacated so we could sit ourselves down for a casual rest. Very nice hide. TFTC
Found it on an afternoon walk with Stefthevet and could log it without being watched by muggels. TFTC!
Found a muggle free moment and sat and pondered ... Spotted signing duties over and on our way again Thanks Blenheim Bear 4Tc:)
Spotted the cache as I approached but someone was sitting on the seat. Returned later and a whole family was sitting on the seat. Once again I returned & finally managed to sign the log. TFTC
This kind of urban cache is appreciated - a seat on which to ponder where the cache might be, without drawing too much attention to furtive activities. The container is cleverly placed so as to be able to deal with it discreetly. Thanks for this smiley Blenheim Bear.
Once I read the description I found the cache in the first place I looked. TFTC.
