As there's been no cache to find for some time, 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 unarchive it.

Hiya,
No find since 2016 and 4 DNF's....can you please confirm your cache is where it should be, replace it or archive it, as we are trying to place one close to the Den for the guides and scouts and can't get it quite far enough away. Happy to leave it and find a new place if you are able to confirm your cache is still active. Thanks.

The hint seemed pretty clear, but we too failed to find the cache.
 
05-Mar-17
Quick look here in all the likely places. Nothing found so on to the next one...
 
07-Aug-16
Our bad luck with Leeston caches continues. Maybe we misunderstood the hint, but pretty sure we were in the right place, the co-ords were spot on and despite using both hands (yuk, it was wet and dirty) and walking pole to flush out the cache from the ivy, it remained unfound.
 
07-Aug-16
We went for a Leeston Stroll, but had no luck locating the cache.
 
24-Jul-16

Small but easy.

A cricket match was in full swing as I headed across the playing fields and past the scout hall to find GZ.
Dog guided muggles were a problem for a few minutes.
Once the coast was clear, the cache was an easy find thanks to the clue [^]

It was a nice little stroll to this cache, pity I forgot the pen so I had to battle the wind and run ALL the way back to the car to grab the pen but I needn't worry about going back to the cache the wind push me all the way! Found on a REALLY windy day out caching with my best friend Frizzledough.
TFTC!
 
26-Sep-15
Purdiepurdie & I came racing out this way to grab a FTF; we felt it would have been rude not to stop & find a few other caches (she had actually found a couple before, but I hadn't).
Thanks, zumtumtum, a delightful spot.
 
22-Sep-15
Wasn't much of a stroll but still a great cache. Tftc

After working so hard on our "Horses 101" series we noticed we hadnt found a cache in over a month. So after heading to leeston for the horse and pony expo we made a day of it Smile

Found 16 in total and 1 was a FTF Smile

Thanks for the cache - our GPS was playing up so had to use the hint

A day away around the Lincoln, Rolleston, Leeston area. Had spent some time solving puzzles in preperation and managed to find quite a few too. Lots of Metal Mania (although my database didn't seem to load them all so I may have to return!), quite a few Angry Birds a handful of Mad caches and a smattering of others. Really enjoyed Drainage Hole. Thanks all for enabling an addict. Special thanks to Sveren - for the caches and for the chat when we happen to be at a cache together.
 
01-Jun-15
I do like the hint provided - quite apt. Some muggles have been writing in the book but at least they left it there. We did this as a drive-by as no-one was around to see us driving on the grass. Cool

Coming back from Timaru, I noticed a small but rich vein of caches in this town and so took a smiley detour
 
24-Apr-15
Find #6 of 12 today (a most emphatic way to fill in a dot day)! Starting the slow run home, heading to Leeston for a food stop but had to grab the caches on the way in. As we left this one I saw a 4WD coming the other way and thought "hey, that looks like N!mrod"... turns out it was very likely as 2 caches later I saw his name in the log with today's date. Hi N!mrod!
TFTC Cool

Another quick find whilst out caching with the family. Thanks

Didn't see this on the GPSr when I came through town. Will have to hunt it down next time I am in the area.
Always good to have a reason to come back Wink
 
28-Dec-14
In the area for a FTF raid and thought I'd better stop by and visit the local caches. We have driven through Leeston so many times it was time to stop. Not much of a stroll as I parked my truck within 8m of cache. Nice quick find this morning I had the place to myself at 7am.

Thanks for the cache.
