Sure to Rise - Again! (Canterbury) Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand
By Hotspud on 30-Oct-12. Waypoint GC40FNQ

Not found anything.

Same as last log.

DNFI found a blue string to hang something at the coordinates, but nothing was attached.

TFTC

Found it went back gave it another try and yeah muggles were indeed out and about. Secured

Searched high and searched low. Thought I could have seen what it could have been attached too but unsure. Will try again in a few days as I'm just around the corner

Beautiful spot. Thank you. The BuddyolPals

A year since my last DNF and I'm back again with the same result. It's probably there but I couldn't find it today.

**20,493**We have been meaning to come back to find this one that we DNFd years ago. We have family living around the corner so this blue face has been bugging us. Now its a yellow smilie. TFTC

Beautiful spot, smells amazing on a sunny day. Tftc

Great hide

After the multi, this was a quick stop to smell the roses. Currently higher than lytteltonwitch said in July, but still an easy reach. Thank you Hotspud

Sit and take a second

Found on a sunny day

Thanks for bringing me back here. Brings back memories from when I lived in the area as a child. And now I'm back living here, TFTC.

Found with KJR, lovely childhood memories, for an ex Chrustchurch lad. TFTC

Weekend in Christchurch with AlpiSteve. A wee walk to this one and then didn't take long to locate the cache which was good as it was a bit chilly with the wind. Happy for a rest stop too TFTC

Quick find. TFTC.

Found while waiting for a friend to wake up and get moving for a cache maintenance day.

Thanks for replacing, lytteltonwitch

I have replaced the cache and it is still hanging but much lower than the original. It would be about my chest height. Please be discreet when looking If dodgy people are sitting there come back another day to look and don’t be stupid enough to ask them for help

Even had homeless people helping me ill come back another day

DNF

Finally found this one. We've visited afew times now, with our lunch from Bronskis dwn the road, and we haven't managed to hunt this wee one out but today was our day! TFTC

These gardens are always lovely. Nice spot for a picnic in summer.

Nice evening walk TFTC

Thanks for the cache and greetings from Czechia.

Hmm. I couldn't find anything hanging or resting at the location indicated by the coordinates and some of the recent logs. It might be there but I couldn't find it today.

Unfortunately did not find it:-(
will revisit it if anyone would find it in the near future
The park is so lovely!

Our daughter and her in-laws had given us two large cartons of gifts to deliver in Linwood. So dropped them off thus evening then realised these famous gardens were only a k away. Had a chat to the volunteer who arrived to lock up - he and his wife were from Dunedin so we swapped notes about the scout groups he and Mr D had been involved with. A shame the building was lost, but thank goodness people managed to save half of the garden.

Note: cache is an eclipse tin, placed (not hanging), top corner

I am going to have to check this cache as the ellipse tin is the one that went missing and I replaced it with a hanging pill container

Out on another morning run while down in the big smoke visiting relatives. This was find one for this morning. Fortunately the sprinklers had just switched off. Still made it a little damp under foot in the vicinity of the hide. Eventually got the correct height and corner. Phew.

Took us 2 separate tries, I think might have been missing the first time because it definitely was where you’d think it would be! TFTC!

But if a search, no idea why took so long to find lol. Resting not hanging. Tftc (forgot to bring pen)

Nice cache lol

After trying to look inconspicuous while the gardener's worked.... One walked past and said "If you're looking for the Geocache thing, it's up in that corner, don't worry we all know about it round here".......Busted!!......but in a good way.... TFTC

Thank you. It's just resting in spot

Ladybug

It was hidden very well but not to difficult

It was fun and adventurous to find

Good hiding spot I was too short to find it and needed help

New day, new month same old plan.... Get some caches in on a "brisk" ChCh day. Cheers!

Thank you!

Don’t know how I didn’t find it first time, sure I had searched where it was located. Lucky to get in before a wedding was set up. Tftc

Started to get a bit dark, and will retry on a lighter note.

What a fab spot I never knew about, love geocaching for taking me to unusual places! Worth a fav for the pretty nature and details in this park! Yup, still resting.

Took forever but we found it! No longer hanging, resting.

Great camo!
No longer hanging but still up high.....

Can’t find it ️

Second time round with this one, last to the previous find I was able to secure the cache and sign log ️

We are out on a shopping afternoon, so trips to the Colombo and the Tannery. RG72 did very well at both of these getting at least half a dozen purchases, and since I sucked it up on her retail therapy I was rewarded with a few caches on the way home. Not that it was that straight forward, as a couple were aborted due to too many muggles, and there was a DNF. But not too bad.
Took a few minutes but I knew roughly where it would be and the coords were great, they pointed to the correct corner. Eventually spotted it and retrieved from the other side. This one is all good, but is no longer hanging. TFTC hotspud.

Located with Ricardinho

Shopping was on the agenda this afternoon & shop I did...3 dresses, 1 pantsuit & a ring later I was done...all sale items...got to love a good sale!! Since RNZ came shopping & not a winge was heard, I thought I better grant 5 geo's on the way home Proved to be far more tricky than we first thought!! Lots of bush diving, cursing & random strangers in places we didn't want, dogs barking & general muggle interference, we had to skip 2 which never makes RNZ happy lol

A beautiful wee park & fun to explore to find this cache. RNZ did a bit of fossicking & soon spotted it

TFTC

Searched high and low but could not find anywhere, my girl even looked around heaps

Nice Camo

Quick find

Found

Thanks for bringing me here.

Thanks for hiding this cache in these beautiful gardens! Cold today but we will return to see the flowers.

Thanks!

Walked passed it like 5 times!

Thanks for the awesome spot.

Doing some local ones to fill some dot days, thanks for the cache

#Mandem found it

Unless someone has rehid den where I can’t reach the cache is missing again. I have replaced with a hanging pill container and please be gentle with it as the wire is thin

Thanks lytteltonwitch.

Literally climbed up to find it for 15mins & no luck

Spiderweb in the face & no joy

Looked up but didn’t find?

Thanks for replacing this Cache. Love edmounds Park! Very pretty for a daily stroll

Very easy find

Cache replaced with an eclipse tin

Thanks Lytteltonwitch.

Had a look everywhere I could above the height mentioned around the co-ordinates but no sign of it

I will be replacing the cache on behalf of the CO but it will be Friday before I can get there

nothing at all. monkey boy(me) climbed up on top to look still nothing.will be back

after extensive searching by val and SOA ( up ontop of the poss GZ) found nothing so will be back

After a couple videos to try spot and SonofAnarchy being the tallest going up.. No luck. Will be back

Late night caching but no luck in finding it

Pretty easy nice walk threw park

It was getting dark but still I found it. Thanks

Once we interpreted the clue it was an easy find, lovely park, thanjs

??

Nice quick find TFTC

A nice quick find here. I will have to come back in summer when the garden is blooming. TFTC.

Was good fun! The hint really helps.

Amazing wee garden, I’ve driven past this spot for years and never been in! Definitely will be coming back

I suggest using a stick to investigate if you are sub 5ft1 awesome gardens!

Yay back again & success this time. Great to turn this into a smiley face. Quick find by one of the tourists new to geocaching. Gardens looking great too.TFTC

We are in chch for another weekend and we plan to find a few caches in between appointments. We were a bit early for our first appointment so we came to see if we could find this one. What a fantastic wee place and a lovely way to start our day. Love the history here and love the gardens. A nice quick find here too. Thanks for placing this cache and thank you for the smiley. A favourite from us

Thank you hotspud what a good find

Finally getting around to logging caches i found back in 2020. I changed phones and have only just reinstalled geocaching to find 35 old caches that are to be logged. Thanks for showing me different parts of NZ.
