TooT TooT (1) (Canterbury) Rolleston, South Island, New Zealand
By MUNTR on 03-Mar-13. Waypoint GC46Z51

Like others before, ignored the signs and found the cache safe and dry.

Found on an expedition to Rolleston with StreetWalker, with the main objective of finding all the WPs of the mighty Rolleston Pump Station Trail, plus finding any other caches that were in the vicinity.
We still had this in our GPSr despite it being archived, and were pleased to find that the cache was still in place. TFTC.

#13151. We suspected the cache might still be in place, so headed down the road (avoiding the yellow signs that had sprung up in the middle of it) and made a quick find once at GZ. TFTC.

Lost interest in caching.

No work today so a rolleston road trip was on the cards. Yep road closed but I had Hi viz on so went through slowly no tb in the cache quick find tftc

Whoop whoop
Found it
Road closed, works going on...care needed
Great spot - great cach, thanks

Tftc good hide

In one of the two fairly obvious places, Miss R was lucky to pick the right one this time. Tftc.

Nice quick find

Another day, another random drive to cache. We set off after lunch to find a few in the wider area, to see how far we get and what we can fit into an afternoon/evening. The weather was perfect - drizzle the whole day, turning into rain at times, meaning a general paucity of muggles A huge thanks to all CO's for their hides!!!

Nothing tooted at me so all good.

TFTC

No trains today. TFTC

I was starting to get withdrawal symptoms from from not doing a lot of caches in a day. The previous 8 days I had only found 15 caches. A sad state of affairs. Time to remedy it.

Cheers for the cache.

Thanks

In town for a “Mega” weekend of caching. I joined up with Yeetrees and gonefishing to form Team YGB. I really enjoyed exploring the country roads of Canterbury. We travelled a fair few Kilometres in the 4 days we were here, and had a great time, with a lot of laughs along the way. Good weather, and good company. It doesn’t get much better than that does it.


Sunday. Day Three, Area 3. And we're off to an area that I dubbed “South of the River” when I was planning things. A nice sunny day but with a cool breeze, the promised afternoon showers didn’t eventuate either.


Thanks to all the CO’s for all the caches we found. Cheers and TFTC

Super easy thanks

Navigation good easy find

Found during the Mega weekend on bit of a tiki-tour around the Canterbury back blocks. Great weather, great caches, great fun! Thanks to all the cache owners for putting out and maintaining caches for us to find. All in all, a fun road trip with Boxhill and Yeetrees, we signed many of the logsheets as YGB to save both time and logsheet spaces.

Another great find with Just-Lookin.
Thanks for adding to the enjoyment of our MEGA trip.

On our way to the Christchurch Mega collecting caches along the way with tmann421.

A nice quick find.

TFTC

Nice easy cache. Tftc

Good spot. Didn't even know that the container place was there.

Sitting in my car within 12m of cache according to GPS but there is a slow moving train and a linesman in a quad buggy! Inadvertently have taken up trainspotting which I'm sure you will appreciate.
Update: they finished work quite quickly, abandoned the wagons, and the coach and buggy raced off back to rolleston. Quickly nabbed the cache, and on to the next one - thanks for the adventure. My 4yo really enjoyed the train.

Easy find

An easy find while driving home.. Tftc

Bit late in logging this coin but happy travels.

Very good hiding spot!

Left Coin - great cache - easy find - thanks!

Tftc found with little cache eater

This was our last find for the day after biking around Rolleston. Great way to spend an afternoon. Thanks.

Fortunately the rain had stopped when we got here, and the nearby workers were engrossed in their work, so a quick find and away again. TFTC

Great spot. Tftc

Tftc

The downside of not knowing your way around and Caching in the dark resulted in driving around for a bit to finally locate the spot I was ment to be in. All good in the end tho. A good wee place to spot the trains too. TFTC. Cheers Bo

After a couple of months of solving puzzles, decided to head down to Christchurch and tackle a "few" caches in the Rolleston area.
Had to edge our way just a little past a road closed sign but found the cache very easily after that

A little bonus while out chasing rugby caches. tftc

I had just finished a great "morning" of caching Rugby Favourites with purdiepurdie; it seemed crazy not to find "just a few more" .... this was nearby as I pottered around. TFTC.

School holiday geocaching, good hide

A nice quick find, no trains about today.

TFTC

No cars or trains in sight today so no need for tooting. TFTC

Brilliant for my train mad boy, thank you!

No trains here today just a few waggons TFTC.

Quick find. TFTC.

No toots today

Quick find.

Friends of mine (they're muggles) said they had found a cache by accident near their house. As i was in the district I thought i might as well log it TFTC

Out with JustMeG and heard the toot toot but didn't see it. Wonder if it was related to the photo in some way. Nice quick find however.

Could hear a train in the distance but couldn't see it. We did see the cache however

An easy find, no trains today

Nice find on a quiet back road. Kids enjoyed seeing a train whilst there.

While in Christchurch I always try and catch up for a spot of evening caching with Sonia26642, as its great to cache with friends.
Tonight our specific goal was to collect sufficient caches so that Sonia could claim her 4000th cache on a particular Wherigo, so mission start.
managed to locate this one without undue hassle

Cats & Dragons was in town, so we decided to go do some caching... crazy numbers! However, I was also very very close to my number 4000!! So the aim was - meet up after work, get the 20 caches I need to get to the milestone, and then we go find a cool one for number 4000!! Woo Hooo!!!

Easy one, almost spotted from car. Another quick grab on the way to the big milestone!!

9 of 14 today - a quick trip to collect a TradeMe purchase and clean up the caches in Burnham and Rolleston. Sadly there were three that evaded me I came from the other end of the road so had over 4km of gravel road to drive but that's what the 4WD is for An easy find, TFTC

On our way to a wedding in Windwhistle via the back way through Rolleston, bugzptr had already found this cache previously so now it was my turn, great location, TFTC

A quick and easy find while in the area this afternoon. I came from the north so had rather more than 100 metres of gravel road. Signed log, TFTC

Well you learn something new every day - never realised there was a dairy company down here. Quick find after I walked back - the Car was going too fast for the GPS lol. TFTC

A nice quick find on my way to CHCH

TFTC

A quick easy find on a quiet road. TFTC

Today's cache for the 31-day challenge! An easy find on a sunny afternoon. Haven't been down this road before, but often travel past the road on my way home to Burnham. Thanks for bringing us here

On my way to this cache I had to wait while wagons were shunted into the Milk Factory. So I got to combine trian-spotting and caching in the one trip. Very rewarding. TFTC.

Nice easy find. TFTC

Boy geocaching keeps you busy, I'm currently doing about a million 'challenge' caches and need to get fifty this month and next to qualify for a challenge where you need to find more than fifty caches in the month for 13 consecutive months. I'm on eleven at the moment and I've cleaned up all the local ones and can't really start again so this is the best time. I need seven for this month and this aided my mission. I parked a the siding and my GPSr wanted my in the middle of the road but my geo senses pointed me to the tight spot. Trains are great. I'm going for the next one up the road. Nice park and grab.
Thanks for the cache.

Had to drop Son1 at work in Rangiora. Being school holidays and great weather I decided to take a long lunch break to go for a drive and cache. Did the round trip via a couple of caches north of the Waimak, to Darfield, Rolleston, the airport and back to Rangiora to pick him up again. This was number 8 of 13 finds out of 13 attempts. Cache easily found. TFTC.

Easy find

we were checking out the industrial park, so walked across from there. thanks
