By Just Mad, adopted by RollyRocket on 30-Jul-14. Waypoint GC59WNQ

After checking the cache site I realised it had been removed due to excavation for a new housing development in this area and it is no longer available.

New entrance way may have affected? Can somebody check this cache

Couldn't find it

Second cache found in one day cute little toy

Quick easy find on my way past for work. Thanks for the effort that goes in to placing and maintaining the cache. Lucky I was her at 2:45 any later on a school day and I think I would have had an issue.

Quick find a few muggles about

Good and easy find with some muggles around

Another great find for Team Propax & Bonbon. Sl. Tftc

Bags full with water after rainy days... Logbook dry.

One & only for the morning. Lots of muggles out. TFTC

TFTC quick find today

In Christchurch with BCD doing an airport dropoff. Time to head back to Geraldine with a stop in Rolleston along the way. Nice quick find here TFTC

Thanks for the cache. I'm sure it will stay dry this winter! Found with Tomato

Found in 10 seconds. Lots of swaps - none taken as had none to put back

Found after a short hunt. Nice quiet spot. Friendly muggles. Thanks to all cache owners for taking the time to place and maintain your caches. Team Broadbent (signed TB on micros). Find # 2071

Was easier to access from Fairhurst Place but then the cache name wouldnt really work. Quick easy find with master 13 on a day off from school.

Stayed in the area last nite and decided to do this cache on a quiet street, notice their is no footpaths on this street, so had a bit of a rural feel, found very quickly, tftc Just Mad

11:40
Well, I actually parked on Fairhurst Place - much closer to GZ than Manor Drive.
A 285 sq.m is for sale just adjacent to GZ, btw! Get in while it's there!

TFTC!

No luck for me today

When GeoYoungling #3 pipes up and says he wants to go night caching, you have to jump at the chance! So, we headed out into the Rolleston darkness to seek our fortune.
We walked to this one on our way around the loop. Nice and dark, and the cache was soon at hand. We tried to hide it better than we found it -- it was out in the open. Should be good now!
SL/TFTC!!

Quick find with grandson Henry after checking out the local playgrounds

No rain, no work, perfect reason to go on a caching adventure! A lot of fun except one cut on the finger ad one poke into the eye. 200km in the car, which involved a slight backtrack for an unexpected errand, and 20k steps. Overall a very nice day! Thanks to all the CO's for placing and maintaining the caches!!
Walked to GZ from the other end of the path to avoid too much suspicion. Almost missed the container and mistook it for something else.

A quick find before visiting a friend

Parked in Fairhurst place which put me very close to the cache. Fairly busy nearby so had to quickly grab it before muggles got suspicious. All dry and in good condition. TFTC

I used to watch that show along time ago. I didn't quite get it then but having bwatch a couplenof reruns recently I had a few wee chuckle's.
A nice little wander with the dogs and a short search. And a nice cache was found.

Only one place it could be really, so waited until the coast was clear then shot in for a quick find tftc

not a fan of the urban caches on dead end roads so didn't hang around long quick find tftc

I've been here before and not found it but today I could see it as I pulled up. Full of water but log ok. Not really sure where it was meant to be... Thanks for the cache.

Quick find. Only one cache away to finding my hundreth cache. TFTC

Stopped the night in Rolleston and today we are winding our way back to Christchurch. A glorious day and ready for some quick and easy finds to boost numbers. We hoping to get to CHCH to do some Wherigos but having looked them us we decided they would eat up time too much on this trip. Gonna grab the Virtual in central CHCH though. Thanks to all who placed these caches along the way. Love the fact its easy to pull off and park. Surprised the country roads are as busy as they are. Wish we could have stay a couple of weeks and not just four days. We will return!
Another quick find. TFTC

This morning we decided to get out of the house pretty early to find a cache or two nearish to home. We needed to don our jackets, but we were wrapped up well and didn't let the few spits and cold wind put us off.

This was out last find for the day, and didn't take us long at all. I had suggested I just jump out and make a quick find, but MKI protested "Dad this is a family cache, we need to find it as a family", alright, fair enough! Out we all got from car seats, to hit the ground and start the search.

the kids were pleased to see a little swag (amazing how many caches have none at all) and they both traded items. MKI had detected the container so MKII returned it to its hiding place.

Found it

We had had a couple of DNFs in the Rolleston area on our last caching raid, so this afternoon we returned to hopefully turn some into , and also to look for some more in both the Crusader and AB series.
Like team_macdonald, we made this a drive by rather than taking the advertised stroll! I had managed to mess up my settings (again!) on the Oregon and was wrestling with it while SW made the find. He also sorted out my GPSr. That's why I like geocaching with him . TFTC.

#13431. We parked within metres of the cache, and with the coast clear made a quick find. TFTC.

7475. Found our way here from memory. Searched for a while before spotting something - no it was not rubbish! Well set up cache. Thanks. Rodney and Iris.

Another great find thanks to co

Came in from the other end and made this almost a just lean out the car door and grab this one while trying to dodge the neighbours. nice find tftc found with rayzr2 and chiko1

Found all safe and secure with team_macdonald and Chiko1 tftc

Took a few minutes and was very wet but the logbook is nice and dry. TFTH

Cache was very wet inside but log is dry, dried cache with a towel and put some swaps inside as it was empty, tftc

We were muggled on this one, I was waiting for the usual question "what are you looking for?", but they were actually new locals out for a walk and had lost their way home. Out on a caching mission today with Nanzie with the aim of a new personal best each, were both successful. A technical issue with the selected area not covered in the pocket query on my GPS meant we had to revert to cell phone for traditional and multis but if my calculations are correct we both finished with a total of 110. More than half of these were puzzles. Thanks to all CO's for the effort gone into placing them all.

Spent a fun day caching with Paddle Chick, found lots of awesome caches, thanks to all the CO's

I spent the morning finding a mixture of Trads and Puzzles in Rolleston. I found pretty much everyone I looked for, but the odd one eluded me. TFTC

Thanks for the find

Found while on a 29th Feb geocaching run with Mrs TwoSharpe. Glad to get a few caches today as I don't want to have to wait 4 years to get this one again! Last dot day completed as well. TFTC

Nice quick easy find, which is great as the weather was freezing today TFTC and left TB

Quick find tftc

Just pull up and a number of cars pull out from the drive beside me all giving suspicious looks about why I was stopping there but would have been worse a few minutes later when I was bum up searching. TFTC Just Mad

Tftc

Easy tucked away find. found with Geomum and Geo Jessie. TFTC

Out caching with busy paws and Geo Jessie (my Mum and my daughter) - love it when we can meet up and spend some time caching together. Easy find. TFTC.

Nice quick find

Last stop on a bike caching run, now having got rid of a few calories, time to put some more on.

TFTC

A simple cache alright, it just took ten minutes of walking back and forth to find a muggle free slot. The bag, cache and inner bag were wet so dried those out but the log itself is fine still. Cheers

This is my last day in Rolleston so I just had to sign off a few more caches.

Cheers for the cache.

Quick find on a caching day in Rolleston. We wanted to do one of the nearby trails and decided to use the bicycles. So today it was cycling in Rolleston and after that the trail. Thanks for placing all the caches.

Another great find with Just-Lookin.
Thanks for adding to the enjoyment of our MEGA trip.

Making my way to the Christchurch Mega with tmann421.

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.

Found on 5/6 tftc

Found on a damp night. Tftc

Well hidden, thanks

A nice road with some nice houses, not usually our scene but all quiet so cache quickly found and we were the first to sign the replacement log book. We took the travel bug.

Replaced the container and added further protection. Moved it back to where it was meant to be, out of sight! Dropped off a TB.

Cache is very wet and log book dripping so hard to write in.

Nice quiet area. Cache very wet and book dripping. Will need maintenance

Second time round for this one. Last time here felt exposed but dusk was ok.

A nice quick find,but unfortuantely it was full of water, I have no idea how as it was tucked away nicely and still sealed, but still managed to sign the wet log. TFTC. Cheers Bo

Quick find.

Nice quick find. Loved the TV series of the same name. Container had evidence of water but the log book is OK

Having arrived in Chch last night along with grabbing a few caches this morning it was time to cache again but this time with my good friend Sonia26642, talk and catch up on the gossip about life, the MEGA & geocaching. I will admit that I am purely working on the numbers required to meet the requirements of the MGSc Challenge currently.

I apologise in advance for the cut and paste logs but what can i say, "the caches were obviously located, the company and conversation were both excellent, and it was a chance once again to see more local roads around Christchurch"

thanks for the placements

Cats&Dragons was in town again, and so of course we caught up for a caching expedition!! I hadn't had time to come out this way huge caching in over a year, so there were plenty of new ones to find!! Woo Hoo for finally getting the numbers up a bit again!

This was number 24 for me of the day.

Another quick one, which is always good when doing these sorts of power runs
