As this cache has been out of action for too long and the cache owner has not performed any maintenance, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to un-archive it.

Sorry, cache seems to have disappeared with airport maintenance. Sad

Unfortunately this has not been found recently, I go to the aero club two or three times a week, I am there and cannot find it each and every time.

This one eluded us. Spend too long at the coordinates. Will come back later and look a little further away. Very open area as trees have all been trimmed to at least 2m off the ground.

On the way back to CHCH after having had a lovely family weekends 'holiday' in Timaru. Detoured off the main road to grab 'Totara' and found we couldn't get back onto the main road from there so detoured around.
Had a good look....all the trees here have been pruned to ~2m off the ground. The spot I presume the cache might have been (fork in trunk) is way exposed (stones on ground) and nothing doing.
Might need checking....unless it's been moved nearby?
Cheers.

Easy find, it is very exposed now as the trees have been all trimmed up pass the cache.
Covered it the best I could, might need to check it.

A quick deviation on the way back to the motel from work. It has been a while since I have flown from this airport, but a dash into the bushes..and subsequent leaves in the hair...resulted in another cache to add to the count. Tftc
 
Out caching with my caching buddy Geco 72. TFTC.

Had a look at RP's copy of the plane. Took two goes to get into the airport. Tree trimmers had the road closed. (And they had no safety gear on!) Thank you.

Very quiet at the airport today so parked close to GZ with the other rental cars. A pity the museum was closed as it looked quite interesting from what I could see through the window.
Many thanks

Parked perhaps illegally. Who was going to tell? It's New Year's Day. Hit the cache from 'behind'. I thought it was rather exposed at GZ, and we tried biffing ground cover at it but nothing stuck. From where I'd parked though, you couldn't see anything. TFTC.

wonderful south canterbury moist winters day with a bit of a chill on the edge out to sort out a few afternoon caches, un fortunately did not have a small member of the party to deal with this one so had to squeeze the 6 foot in bush bash, at least it was dry under there and the rain kept all the muggles well out of site;-)

great spot, had 2 minutes to spare whilst waiting for Meijer Clan whanau to pick up from the Airport. Try the free coffee / hot chocolate machine, AND free parking (although I know its a wee airport, its still good to see these things) Had to send a small Meijer Person in to retrieve.
