Anudder bewdy morning in ChCh to get some in. Kindly neighbor Kent me a set of steroids to retrieve it. Cheers!
Spotted this one reasonably quickly and, yes, it was quite a stretch to reach it! The logbook is saturated. Didn’t even bother trying to sign it. Photographed it instead, as shown. #4517. TFTC.
Came to Christchurch for work today and had the opportunity to go caching except I hurt my knee and can't hobble far much to my disgust. Had anticipated logging a pile of finds, instead had to settle for just one find but it was less than 100m from my brother-in-law's house where we are staying. Will not be another opportunity before heading home tomorrow. Having read some logs we knew where not to look and GAR had it in hand fairly fast (although thought we might have to pass when a large dog started barking at us and the owner came out to see what all the fuss was about). Thanks for the hide!
That was a bit hard but we managed eventually! Stealth is almost impossible! Great cache, thanks!
The temperature is starting to drop bowl glad to have knotobsessed with me to reach for the cache. I definitely cannot reach it, although the neighbours have left some chairs out.
By the looks of the logs this 1 was going to be a challenge...turns out I'm enough of an average height that it wasn't any problem for me...good thing YC5809 had me along for the ride as she wouldn't have reached it at all!!
TFTC...might've had an audience but couldn't help it really...

Found it now! Love Doctor Who, didn't know that much about the Exterminators. A bit hard to reach but after a bit of a climb we found it. TFTC!
Another good cache, amongst the public, but still hidden enough. Thanks for the cache!
Last time it was just out of my reach, I even felt it but could not retrieve. Returned today with some taller people related to me, and it was a piece of cake! TFTC!!
Had to give the missus a boost to reach it.... Was a stealthy as we could be
Nice hiding place though only a giant can reach that on their on.

This was a bit of fun. Recommend you come in pairs, unless your super tall or good at climbing. Luckily I'm light but not as easy to be so stealthy with this one. TFTC
Too short to reach haha couldnt find anything to step on without making it too obvious
Was helpful reading other's comments. My son had to have a step up on me to reach it.
Passing thru on the way to visit Grandson. Easy to retrieve height, not a problem. TFTC
Daughter was playing basketball at the nearby high school, so I went for a walk during the warm up period.
Was glad I had son with me as he had the required height to retrieve the cache. TFTC.

I was too short! Did not expect this for a T1.5 as I am pretty average height. I will need to return with a tool or reinforcements.
I had some spare time this morning so went out to find a few caches. Last cache for me this morning. Time to head off for some work calls. I'm a sucker for Dr Who themed caches so just had to have ago at this one. Parked around the corner and walked back towards GZ. Cache was not quite where I expected it to be but I did spot something a little out of place on approach and there it was. TFTC, Biggles.
Found by graemey(UK) gps played up a bit but managed to spot it-just about could reach it.TFTC -Nice Hide.
Our first cache!!! Introduced to this hobby by Busypaws and we are going to love this.
Happy we found it, all safe and dry. TFTC Aslan*

Found this one on a day out caching with jess.daphne. I've been here before and couldn't get to it. This time we got it with a little team work. Tftc from team Jeje.
Found today with Injeanious, the CO is obviously quite a bit taller than both of us. We tried reaching it through several methods but in the end I had to stand on Injeanious' knee to reach the cache. It was a bit of an adventure, TFTC!
Our Magellan led us to the wrong side, but we spotted the cache from there and crossed. TFTC
How did I DNF it last time eh? A quick park and grab after wandering under the nearby river bridge. Cheers
A lot of strange antics required to get this one so luckily there were no dals or thals around today. My junior assistant was asleep in the car so I tried unsuccessfully on my own to retrieve but luckily he woke up eventually and I could hoist him up to do the tricky bit. Phew! Tftc!
Today I did a big Geocaching tour to earn some smileys and souveniers.
I took my bike, it was quite fast and a good idea in the city.
This one was a fast find, also if a muggel car was in front of the tree and hard to reach the box.

Quick find, and no muggles, which was a bonus. TFTC Aslan. Last of the day for us today.
Gummies weren't going to cut it today, it was sandals and shorts rolled up as far as I could. Cache happened to be in the deepest spot, and took some retrieving. But all good, newish log signed and replaced as found, although the log is not attached to the cache very well. TFTC TheWanglers.
Christmas Eve today, and after a few hours shopping in the morning for presents and food - it was surprisingly quiet at the mall, as it turned out - we decided to spend the middle of day doing a spot of caching. Joining Jo and I was my mum, who got a basic rundown of what it was all about and then off we went. They had to be park and grabs cos of time limitations, but we had no real targets - just anything close to our temporary base for the next week (Barrington). Thanks to all the COs, we had few issues today and a good day exploring.

Managed to reach up just high enough! Nice find, had to be subtle... kids riding around on bikes!
Thought I found a spot but only a stone in it and nothing behind it. Hmm, I'll be back for a better look. Cheers
Found it but cound not reach it so I waited for someone to walk passed and I got them to get it for me
Tftc!!! Fun find... lovely street... your our 3rd aiming for 10 today... thanks
12 April 2017 17:44. Got well and truly muggled by a car load of primary school aged boys pulling up thinking I was on an Easter egg hunt! Had to wait until they gave up. Spotted likely place while waiting. I should have known better when Aslan* tells you to reach up and you are only 5'3" 
. Tried an extension tool first but it didn't work. Luckily I have purchased a fold up height adjustor to stay in the boot of my Geomobile. It only gives me another foot but that enabled me to reach the cache easily and finally retreat out of the rain. TFTC Aslan*

I have a work trip to Christchurch so after the meetings were over today, I had time to head out and pick up a few geocaches before returning to stay at my sisters place. This is my first geocaching trip in Christchurch so have a nice full map worth of options. Stopped nearby and had a wander around checking out several objects of interest near the street corner. No cache seen. So read a few logs, looked up and saw it immediately. Just within reach. Signed the log and replaced the cache as found. Thanks for hiding it here.
Such a beautiful day I couldn't help but pick up a couple caches while out running errands. I spotted it from across the street. Alas too short! But a friendly stick came to the rescue. TFTC
I took one look and just knew that I couldn't reach it, did stretch up my arm but no I am just too short. Started walking away hoping I can talk my very tall non-geocaching son in coming out with me one day. Was busy looking at my phone to see where the next cache would be when a voice said"you young things and your smart phones not looking where you are going" It was a local man walking his dogs and luckily he knew all about geocaching because his wife used to do it. Even better he was tall enough to reach it for me so that I could sign the logbook. He was amused because it is usually younger people looking at their phones and not looking where they are going rather than a almost pension age woman.
Was looking on the wrong side of the road initially but had a quick glance accross the road and spotted it right away
Spotted this one when walking past on the other side of the road. The challenge for me was reaching up to get it but I managed to do so and happily signed the log. Tftc
This was a nice surprise find today. I decided to check my GPSr for any local caches and saw this 79m away from our Christmas Day family lunch we were attending. My son eagerly volunteered and off we set to find this cache. He made the retrieve and replace while I did the intervening log signing. Thanks Aslan*.
