Not in what i thought was the perfect spot. Had a good look around as super quiet but couldn't find anywhere. Has it been muggled?
I suspect this one has been muggled? Found the likely spot and some cover but no cache.
A nice quick find here but felt very exposed. The logbook is full and need replacing. No TBs in the container so time to mark them as missing. Thanks for the cache 
After work finished at the establishment I was visiting nearby finished, I went for a walk to find some caches. This was the only one I came up with however.
Thanks Pokernet - Fairly cheeky.

A quick find on my way to the airport. Many years since I've been through here and oh how it's changed. Very swish.
All quiet and a quick find. All in good order. TNLNSL, TFTC.

Nice quick find. Heard water running inside. Half expected someone to come out. TFTC
A friendly local pointed me in the obvious right direction when I was trying to be stealthy! 2nd person today he said.
Nog een laatste wandeling alvorens het vliegtuig naar huis te nemen.
Ook hier nog enkele schatten gevonden.

Found it # 48 had to fight the spider web first only one track able in there. Also found open.
A quick grab, well loved by the local kids it seems if one reads the log book. Cheers
[green] Oh dear - I'm not sure they really though out this street name (probably an old joke!)
This 'muppet' decided that a stroll around the neighbourhood was needed today, after the flight across The Ditch
With a song in me head I headed for this cache ....
[blue]'Cause a Geocacher is a person in your neighbourhood,
In your neighbourhood
They're in your neighbourhood !!
And a Cache Hider is a person in your neighborhood
Well, they're the people that you don't meet !!
When you're walking down the street
They're the people that you don't meet each day !![/blue] [:o]

Yeah !! My first ever 'traditional' cache find outside of the West Island

Out today before Father's Day lunch to find a few caches to clock over the 1000 finds. Careful when opening the log as the pages are loose. Lost a few in the wind. They were gone before we could chase them. TFTC!
Nice quick find. TFTC. Nearly muggled by couple walking dog but managed to safely log back in car.
Pretty quick find, thank you. Hardly anyone seemed to be awake in the neighbourhood this time of day, so I could take my time to rummage around.
As I was putting the logbook back in it's bag, however, I suddenly noticed three pairs of eyes looking at me from about 15 meters away: one human female and two canines. Oops. Unable to jump into hiding, the only option left for me was to pretend as if that little piece of grass I was standing on, on the corner of that street in Anysuburb, Christchurch, was a busstop for an invisible busroute of some sort, and that standing there in the dark with a small tupperware container sticking out of your pocket is the normallest thing in the world.
Trying to put on my most innocent face didn't really help, methinks. For staring back at her with a "yes, can I help you?" look must have made her a bit nervous, methinks. For she immediately pulled her dogs a bit closer and started to maintain intimate eye contact with the pavement in front of her, all the while slightly increasing her pace.
So, dear Pokernet, if next week your local newspaper is running an increased neighbourhood watch programme editorial, or if "have you seen this man?" posters start to appear around where you live, well, then I have no idea why.
Thank you for the cache, and should you see this woman then please offer her my apologies.

Took us awhile to find it because we realized we were looking in the wrong place
Dropped off a loom band bracelet ❤

Found while doing a nearby multi as the gz was also one of the multi way points. We also enjoyed the playground over the road. Tftc!
Took us ages, a fellow hunter saw us looking for it and her six-year-old son found it for us. Thanks young Michael!
Having arrived in Chch Wednesday night along and having after the hours that normal people work, having cached up a storm this was to be my last morning in Christchurch for a while so what better way to make use of time than grab a few more caches before meeting some locals for an early morning catch-up.
I am hoping that following this weeks effort I will be well on my way to meeting the requirements for the MGSc Challenge currently being worked on.
thanks for the placements

A nice easy find. And funny enough I grew up on this very turf, I use to live directly south about 300 meters on Everest Street. I just cant believe how it has changed, We use to swim in the big lake which is about right under where the cache is. Wow, amazing.. Thanks for bringing me back, and the cache. Cheers Bo
Found on an evening quest to reach 1000 finds! High muggle zone, be careful! TFTC

Finally found a cache today!!
I had already had 2 other attempts, but nothing was going well, and I couldn't believe how unlucky I was being today!! I also needed to try make it to the post office, but that obviously failed, as I was stuck in town, unable to find my cache of the day!!
With this one, finally, it was one where I just walked straight up to it and found it! Yahoo!!
And as I was signing the log, I was totally muggled!!! - Luckily by another cacher though, so that made it ok!! Hahaha
Consec caching day # 822

Thanks! Our 1st find just round the corner from us! One very happy boy.....off to find another now.....
Walked over from a nearby cache and made a quick find. Appears to be in good condition. TFTC!
Very simple one, checked it off during an afternoon of Christchurch caches with gappiesjk
Exact location of a wp for a multi that we were also attempting so no problems with a nice quick find and sign. TFTC
Love these quick finds especially when it's raining. Thanks

Quick find after dark after there being a few to many people around on previous daytime drive bys. TFTC (1285)
This sounded like a quick find after a DNF earlier ... and it was Lovely area. TFTC
Lovely area. TFTCQuick find. Cheers. Did the multi nearby about a year ago and remembered it as I got this one. Thanks
This area used to be Lake Bryndwr,and was closed after a tragedy drowning of a School Boy.It was a very popular Picnic place,in the Summer,and there was also a Speedway around the Lake as well.
Ah the memories..Thanks for bringing us here,and thanks for the Cache..

Super quick find here. Contractor muggles on the side street but easy enough to stay out of their sight. TFTC!!!
I needed at least one today to prove i was working in Christchurch. Nice and quiet area. A bit cold though:-) tftc
Needed a bike ride after a week without one ... This was fairly close... As I approached gz I was attached by a sapling that was not in good shape. A victim of the wild weather a while ago I think. Found cache and was about to put it back when a car pulled up at the house opposite and the occupant has been talking to the resident for a few minutes, then two groups of walkers have come by, one scuffing her feet and the other with a dog. So doing this log while I wait to return cache. For a quiet neighborhood it's not slept!
Thanks for the cache... And another excuse to bike here for exercise.
