The cache owner is not responding to issues with this geocache, so I must regretfully archive it.

Hi

It appears that this cache has been inactive for quite some time. Is it going to be replaced or should it be archived to make room for possible future caches? If the cache owner does not contact me within Three Weeks, I'll assume the cache needs to be archived.

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,

Regards,
TheCur8or
Geocaching.com Volunteer reviewer

Sorry for the late logging and for adding my name to the list of people who couldn't find this cache.
I had a great day driving around by myself finding caches to get the souvineers and work towards my MGSc, but not so much logging each of them. The plan was to find as many of the remaining Fresh Breath caches that I hadn't got the previous Saturday as well as any extras that I went past before heading into Christchurch for this event. I had a hunt for this cache on the way home as I had a few more finds needed to achieve what I wanted for the day.
I'll keep a watch on this cache to see if anyone else can do any better.
 
23-Apr-18
No joy

If it was in the tree then it was beyond me.

East is East and West is West but couldn't find the cache none the less.

I have decided to fall in love with Christchurch. After waiting for the city to come up with ways I could embrace it, I realised it was time for me to take some steps instead. And what better way to do that than finding a few caches and exploring the area! To that effect, I left the house nice and early while the temperature was still well below zero, and set off to find some in town before continuing on a walk or two of some sort. Second closest to home, this was the first one on the hit list. I think I was aiming too high in the dark, but got there at the end Wink TFTC!!
 
21-May-17
Just moping up a few of the local caches. Nice easy one. TFTC
 
16-May-17

On the last day in Christchurch and NZ I went out to find some caches. This one could be found pretty quick.
 
26-Dec-16
After visiting family in New Brighton, we had time to pick up some caches en route back home.
StreetWalker had DNFed this a month or two ago and had notice that it had been replaced. This was a quick find, luckily, as GZ is pretty exposed. SW retrieved, but decided to leave the paperwork for another day. TFTC.
 
26-Dec-16
Zigzag our way back through chch back to the highway to head back home quick find here tftc
 
22-Dec-16
Replaced couple weeks ago and forgot to enable.
 
02-Oct-16
Temporarily disabled until I get a chance to check .... but it sounds like it has been muggled. If so, I will replace. Cheers, Chocochunk.
 
01-Oct-16
Jess.daphne and I had a search of the obvious place and scanned around at GZ. Looks like this ones been muggled.
 
30-Sep-16
No luck for me today. The roadside tree seemed like the most likely place, but I didn't see any sign of the cache.
 
28-Sep-16
This is my second time here and no luck. Sad

[green] Day two out and about Christchurch. Yesterday I let my GPS rule- Find Next Closest was all I did. Today I controlled that a bit. Find next closest to set the direction, but then make sure I cache out the area. But first I had to drop my car in for repair - I drove from Blenheim to Christchurch on just three cylinders. That, a wherigo, and stopping in a bicycle shop for some running repairs meant that I only found 40 caches today, down from the 50 yesterday. Still, 40 was my objective, so that's all good.
 
28-Sep-15
Easy find
 
30-Aug-15
Nice, easy find. Thanks

Quick find, no muggles here today. Tftc.

Weird I helped my daughter move out of the flat 5 days ago didn't realise a cache was outside her flat TFTC
 
29-Jun-15
This was easy, I pulled up on my bike, turned my head and there it was.
The same thing happened at the next cache I found today
Cheers and thanks,
S.t.

Gps playing up a bit as was pointing us into a neighbours lounge. But thought like a cache rand the log was soon signed. Tftc
 
08-Jun-15
Easy find. Construction muggles could care less what I was doing. TFTC. Find #4 of the day
 
18-May-15
Quick find. Not sure about the Kipling reference though? Cheers anyway.
 
01-Apr-15
Late night find to keep our streak going. Nearly forgot one today!
 
31-Mar-15
I was back in the area today and encouraged by the recent find logs decided to make another attempt at finding the cache. The cache was quickly spotted in the place where it wasn't last year. Cheers.
 
06-Mar-15
I came here once before but a muggle was working on his car beside the cache. All clear today. TFTC

I had just finished up at work, and had 20 minutes to kill before I needed to be at the gym. Briefing for competition was gonna start at 6PM! I could either find a quickie before, or take more time after to find something maybe a little trickier... hmmm... may as well find it now I decided, then I can go straight home after!

So came here, and felt very exposed to the nearby house - but managed a very very quick find, and yay! so signed and raced to the gym.

It's a good thing I did find that cache before the gym in the end though - broken arm ended up being the result!! And a trip to A & E, and being told I can't drive while in plaster, and my car still stuck at the gym days later... great... lol...

Consec caching day # 845

TFTC!! Smile

Had to be a little discrete with this one as there was a muggle very close by packing up his house to move. Had to have a wee hunt around but manage to locate it in the end. TFTC. Cheers Bo
 
13-Feb-15
I began to look around GZ, but a dark haired bespectacled Muggle wearing a dark and white hooped top didn't appear to be too pleased. So I disappeared!
 
04-Feb-15
Found it with my sister TFTC Smile
 
29-Jan-15
No problems here at 10:20pm, no muggles around and easy to grab. Cheers

Got dropped off at Princess Margeret's Hospital and on a pleasant 13 km walk that took me to Riccarton Road I found a handful of caches. This was a bit of a stretch but I made it. West is West was a DNF

Found this one last weekend but was not able to sign the log. Returned early today to do some climbing and sign this one off. tftc
 
15-Jan-15
Tried the West is West but just too many muggles out of doors and driving by for us to feel safe so came here as our daily cache. Nobody obvious here and a quick grab and sign. TFTC
 
15-Jan-15
Found with Sevren tftc

23-Dec-14
I was in the neighbourhood placing a cache and noticed that this one was back on track, thanks CC! I spotted the wee fellah and hoisted myself up like an early morning ninja and I don't even think anyone new I was there, the way of the ninja [^]
Quick sign and now for a walk up Worsleys Spur.

Thanks for the cache.

No luck today! GPSr kept pointing to a tree on the berm but I couldn't snag the prize. The tree has been recently pruned. I hope it wasn't in the tree.

Quick find.
 
28-Nov-14
Made several attempts to find it. First couldn't figure out where the coords were pointing to and got a hint from the CO, next time the area was busy with workers digging up the street, and third time lucky found it within two seconds. Glad to finally tick it off the list! TFTC (and for the hint).
 
26-Nov-14

No luck for me here. Searched in 10m radius from GZ due to notes about coords being out but no luck.
