By TwoSharpe on 29-Jan-14. Waypoint GC4XPEH

SEARCHED THE OBVIOUS SITE FELT UNDER AROUND ETC NO CACHE FOR ME TODAY Took photo to show i was def there if it is missing /

Couldnt find it

Nice park and grab here. A bit tricky to retrieve with the bright light and a busy intersection, but pick the right timing and it's an easy find. TFTC

Took a bit longer than expected due to the container not being within the light house. Replaced where it should be. Thanks.

TFTC Found with andyfreya. Took longer than it should have. Spied something with my camera. Love that it's so small. But didn't sign due to not having correct tott. Thanks for this hide.

Found wih Sally tftc

Tftc

All is well here

Nice easy find, was able to park right next to it and no muggles around other than ones driving past which I was shielded by the hedges for anyways. Had more trouble rolling the log back up than I did finding the cache TFTC

Thanks TwoSharpe for placing this cache for all of us to enjoy.Such a lovely day I am lucky enough to have the afternoon free to find a cache or three. TNLNSL, replaced as found, TFTC

Found a wee while ago

Had a good bit of free time in Christchurch, so I was able to wander about the central part of the city for four hours and collect a total of thirteen finds.

Nice and quiet here this morning TFTC

Nice easy find, took longer to roll up the log, TFTC

Found it Than you for the cash#1029

Easy find

Followed the hint, but no luck on this one.

I'm in Christchurch for a few days for work so of course I have to get some geocaching in. I came down a day early so I could get a rental car for the day to target some specific caches in the surrounding area.That's a tiny fiddly one. Given my history of clumsiness, I was worried about dropping it and it rolling into the drain, but I managed to re-secure it.All good here and TFTC.Find #6437 at 26 February 2024 6:28 am

Very cool I have to say but not really what I was hoping wed

Visiting from Ottawa, Canada. Last day of three weeks on the South Island. Head to Sydney tomorrow. Beautiful place! TFTC

Took a sec to find, wasn't expecting it to be so small! Nice cache

Conveniently were able to hunker down between parked cars and bushes while searching for this one. TFTC!

Found that one as a lighthouse keeper.

Today it was time to leave Christchurch and to start our roadtrip. Today went until Lake Tekapo and made some nice cache stops on the way.After we did some shopping for the trip there was some time left for some more caches. This was an easy find.Thanks for hiding and maintaining the cache.Happy hunting!TFTCschnuckel1[#23993]

nice walk with findbobi, tftc

Quick find with kaari74. Tftc

Tftc greetings from Austria

Seconda volta in Nuova Zelanda in visita a mio figlio Federico che vive a Chch.Mi accompagna NitiFlex, per lui la prima volta in Oceania.Abbiamo degli obiettivi, a fine vacanza riusciremo a raccoglierli tutti.Pomeriggio a caccia, in parte a piedi camminando, una parte invece la faremo in monopattinoSaluti dall'Italia.TFTCLasciamo un nuovo book.

Finalmente con Eletab sono arrivate le nostre vacanze in Australia e New Zeland.Viaggio davvero lungo, pi di 18000 km da casa in linea d'aria !!!Questa la prima Tradi di questa nazione che mi manca !Affrontiamo anche una multi ma la stanchezza prende il sopravvento e abbandoniamo velocemente.I primi due giorni sono passati in viaggio per cui la vera caccia inizia solo domani...3 GiornoCi svegliamo presto e abbiamo 2 ore e mezzo prima di colazione per cui i primi 10000 passi volano cos. A fine giornata arriviamo a farne le quattro volte di piu' (39.000). Abbiamo visitato un mercato di prodotti alimentari locali e esplorati 3 bellissimi parchi. 4 GiornoOggi abbiamo deciso di provare a usare i monopattini. Io non posso reggere un numero tale di passi per due settimane.... Una figata, io sono abituato ma Elio si comporta divinamente e per me se lo comprer hihihi. Nonostante questo arriviamo a oltre 20000....About this cache:per la prima volta ci troviamo a fare manutenzione, speriamo di fare cosa gradita allego foto vecchio e nuovo logbook. Thanks Owner New LogBook the old is full !!!

Why so small? Log is full. See pic.

Tftc!

Needs a new log.

Easily found using the hint. Yes the log is full so I have photographed it instead. TFTC

Found full log to follow. Logbook full

On a wander to pick up a couple of solved puzzle caches, and this was (kind of) on the way.TFTC!(Signed SQG)

Log is full

Dodging cars to get this one! All good here, though have to be sneaky. TFTC.

Thanks

We were meant to be done at 47 wins for the day, but I needed the pharmacy, so we came down to the pharmacy and there was a cache on the corner, and it would be rude to pass it by, then we'll this one was only a block away, so we had to even though it was in the total opposite direction to where we were heading

Tftc out on a weekend caching with geeves90 and hayzz

Out for the weekend with Kimmy+co and Geeves90 for a weekend caching in chch.
Tftc

Had to get down and dirty to capture a smiley face here. All good at gz, pity some cachers think they need half the available log to report their success. Tftc

We came to Christchurch for the weekend and while charging the EV at the New World I had time to go and look for this one.
Really tiny.

A great morning at the 'Ship Nails and Tail Feathers' exhibition, which is a collaboration of treasures from the museum and Te Puna o Waiwhetū. Meanwhile, KR got to do the groceries, and then we met for lunch at S City. I'm a Led Zeppelin fan, who Rolling Stone magazine said was the heaviest band of all time. Still, working towards this month's souvenir, and with number 12 being too hard on a previous visit, this was conveniently close by. A little gem, so thanks, TwoSharpe

Much smaller than expected TFTC

Gotcha! Little bit tucked away! Left it slightly closer to reach - to avoid over obvious scrabbling that might attract attention! Just in Christchurch for a day on our tour.
TFTC! Log in good condition.

Found it !

TYFC

Another smile on a nice autumn afternoon bike ride

Nice day for a bike ride TFTC

Good here

Had to cross so many sets of traffic lights, haha, nice hide in the city, TFTC

Day #3 of my 11 day holiday and spending the weekend in Christchurch. Out and about with my muggle friend looking at furniture shops and oooooh look...there's another geocache close by...yay it's an Iron Maiden one too...one of my favourite bands and I seen them live here in Christchurch in 2009
Couldn't locate this with my fingers but "one last look" and yayyyy there it goes TFTC

Found with MarkJ57 while visiting on our cruise. Thanks for the hide and a reason to explore your city.

thanks for that! nice and easy little bit fiddle for my fingers . very fun. p.s the log book may need to be changed soonish. TFTC!!️

Found with Peas. TFTC

Another early morning walk and wander around the city today. Nice and quiet at GZ in the early morning so I was able to search in peace. Got my hands on the cache fairly quickly. TFTC, Biggles.

Tftc and greetings from Czechia

These micro caches can be so difficult to find. TFTC

Ok. Found exactly as expected TFTC.

TFTC

Found it after a trip to the pet shop to buy something for DecoyDog who’s waiting for mama to come home! TFTC and thanks to all the NZ geocachers for maintaining all the lovely caches around the country!

That is one small cache. Found with the fingers not with the eyes. Thanks.

Nice cache

Nice easy cache!

Coordonnées et indice parfait.

The loogbook was full.

I put a new log book into the box

Guytoune from France

Found the cache, logbook is very full. Put my initials in there but don't know if they'll be legible. Tftc

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

Log book too full to sign. Nice little cache though, thanks!

Too many muggles

Found it

Log very full, otherwise cache is in good condition. TFTC

Nice find but the log needs replaced. It's very full. Happy birthday to me

Log is too full to sign

Found

Scroll has no more space to write

Another one grabbed on our last day in Chch. We squeezed a sign in the log, but it needs replacing now. We don’t have any spares on us, sorry!

New log book needed! We don’t have any with us, sorry!

Thought someone had scarped off with the cache and left the magnet but this was not the base

So cold man couldn't feel it

No space to sign it, found with blunsdon. Thank you for the cache .

tyfc nice easy find with Kerryowl.
Log fill

So tiny!

Cool cache!
Love the clues

I have driven past here many times without stopping so about time we finally did the deed.
Lots of spare car parks (maybe the nearest business is not open on a Sunday?) so we parked within 5m of GZ. I remained in the car while StreetWalkerNZ hopped out and did the deed (an easy task as he had sussed out the location and nature of the hide on an earlier scouting mission.
He handed the logbook to me for signing duties (I had to contribute something ) and he had the job of rolling up the log book etc as he does it so much better than me.
Another Iron Maiden in the bag, not many left to find now. TFTC.

#20857. We needed a few finds today, and with a few in this series having recently gone from "Cache to Eternity" (which is one in the series we are yet to find) we thought this one would be a good one to include on the list (and also Sunday morning should be a good time to look for it). The cache was quickly found, even thought the current location doesn't exactly match where my notes said I found it on a scouting mission. TFTC.

Didn’t take long to work out the hint and indiboo soon had the cache in hand. Signed as indiboo and wilbyw.
Thanks for the cache, TwoSharpe

Thankfully I found this one quickly with the help of the hint. Such an exposed spot. Thanks!

Spotted. Tftc

A quick park and find. Thanks:)

Nice quick find thanks to the hint. Merry Christmas!

Tinnnnnny

The hint makes complete sense once at GZ. Still took quite a bit of finger work before I found the cache. TFTC # 17,149

A busy spot at most times, except night, I guess. RG was lookout for muggles while I looked low and found it after a couple of minutes, TFTC TwoSharpe.

A tricky hide in a VERY busy spot!

RNZ located this one first.

TFTC

Drivin past in the early hours. No one about. Not freezing cold. Not raining. Not windy. Seemed like a good time to have a lookie

Have tried to get this cache before. This time it was a quick find

Thanks for the cache
