Do well to get swaps in that one.

Found the stones but no cache

This was my first cache so I might not have been looking hard enough but I followed the clues to the most logical spot and I think it’s possibly missing? Will try again if others find in future

A nice crotch, some scattered beach stones... but no cache that we could see. Think it's gone...?

Thank you

TFTC. Nice quick one

TFTC!

All good here

After a DNF on New Year's Eve last year I was pleased to find the cache easily tonight on a 9 km bike ride.

Thanks for replacing the cache! A lovely evening bike ride to fill in a day on my calendar. Really nice blossoms on the trees here.

Found with Juju54 while out biking on the cycle track - TFTC

A quick search as we bike along here today! Found as per the hint with Campmotherandken TFTC

Glad to find this one and it was a previous DNF for me. Thanks for the replacement.

Speedy find on the bike. TFTC

Thanks for replacing the cache. Great to get my hands on a dry crisp log; TFTC

So glad to see this cache replaced as I was nearby cleaning up some easy trads after work as I'm enjoying collecting as many of this series as poss

Spent too long bumbling around with bouncing coords instead of just looking in the obvious places.
Must be Friday
First to sign the new log!

Thanks for replacing!!!

Replaced

good look, no luck, needs checking

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

I couldn't find this either, but I did find some rocks in a tree that looked like they may have once hid a geocache. I wonder if the cache is still around?

Darn. Been wanting to do this for ages. I suspect the new cycle way has interfered with it

No luck for us today.

Found but had no pen on us!

I parked up in Annex to get away from the main road, and walked over. Quick find, thanks!

My it's a busy road!
The cache was quickly found and is in good condition.

Thanks for the cache

Tftc

Found it. Thanks

Didn't realise the significance of this area, have driven past many times and didn't know. Did take a moment to reflect.
The find itself was pretty quick, Angie33210 and myself spotted this at the same time. GPS signal was pretty good as well.
TFTC and a moments reflection.

Yay found it, another one of the set ticked off,

Is it back here yet?
Staying in area for just one day.
Looked in vain last visit..would be lovely to get it this morning...

Got a replacement lined up, will pop it in the next week

Finding syringes is not cool. I will check it.

I looked in lots of trees, as my gps was skipping around. I found multiple beer bottles, even a syringe but no cache for me today.

Drove on in and parked. Then walked in a big circle to the cache and back. Enjoyed the wander through the beautiful mature trees and what must've been beautiful park like grounds. TFTC # 14,454

While Mr-igotit was at a meeting over in Birmingham Rd I went for a wander along Annex Rd to this cache. I alway wondered where the Sunnyside Hospital was. The roof looks like it is made of asbestos. Trees, trees and more trees. Will it be in a big tree or a small tree. I followed my garmin and at the first tree I looked in on there were a couple of tell tale rocks. Cache was quickly retrieved.

Replaced and moved slighty to make it safer from repeated mugglings

This one appears to have gone. The very obvious place only had a couple of rocks by it. Happy to send CO a photo of where we think it should have been which will confirm either way it it’s gone or not.

Did not find

Quickly found on the way home from work.

That was the easiest thing ever

Really easy find

Thanks for replacing the cache!

A quick find while wait for my dad who was at the dentist. Thanks.

Found likely cacher-cairn in a tree at probable GZ, dug deep, but nothing. Muggled again? Beautiful trees though!

In the right place but no geocace. Sad face

It's fun to find

Needs new paper

Needs more paper

Out for an afternoon walk with my sisters while spending the weekend in Christchurch. Quick find here. Was able to sign as Ric, but log is a bit hard to write on, though dry. Sorry, did not have a replacement. The girls walked on while I made the grab. One of 5 tonight. Thanks TwoSharpe.

Great find, nice box.

Left the daily cache for the last hour of the day. Was a busy day with work and going to a fellow Latvians guitar performance in Darkroom.
All good though and even managed to get two on the way back home. First the metal asylum and then a retirement home!

Found on a nice day in the area

Thanks found on an afternoon walk

Super easy. I'll have to see how many Iron Maidens I've found. More of a Pink Floyd fan myself, but these will do. Cheers

#14377. A quick find during a lunch time bike ride on a mild Autumn day. The fence was easy to get over, and the cache was quickly found. TFTC.

12 June 2017 18:09. Finding the cache was easy.... crossing the road no so much! Joys of even late rush hour traffic. So glad I don't live in Auckland anymore! TFTC TwoSharpe

Really long search revealed nothing. Maybe it's gone walkabout?

looked high and low but no luck finding a cache, first cache for our trip to Christchurch and bad luck

Looked all round the trees. Nothing.. owner to check

Searched for it during my afternoon run. Did not find.

Quick find today TFTC

Nice easy cache

Found it with the partner, he didn't like the bees! Nice substitute for our walk! Tftc
