This cache has unfortunately been muggled within a week of our other cache in Rolleston. Not a good trend to see.
Had a good look around in-between dodging dogs and their owners. Not for me today...
A lot more dog lovers around than chocolate lovers. I had a good look at the hint objects but obviously not good enough.
Took us a while and had to be careful as many muggles about. Did give a smile and satisfaction. Thank you.
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!
Loved this one. We need a place like this in the Manawatu. It took quite a bit of looking. Dah! Right there! Giving it a favourite. TFTC

Much quieter here now that the road layout has been changed! We made a quick grab this evening, there was no one in the nearby exercise yard at all, all inmates must be back inside for the night. Thanks for the effort that has gone into the container, always great to see something more interesting than just another snap lock or an out of place rusting eclipse container!

#13137. My first find of the day (it was a long time coming). This nicely constructed hide was soon spotted. The fog park was a popular spot today, but all of the doggles were some distance away. TFTC.
Found on an expedition to Rolleston with StreetWalker, with the main objective of finding all the WPs of the mighty Rolleston Pump Station Trail, plus finding any other caches that were in the vicinity.
I trailed behind SW as I had stopped to read the interesting nearby signboard, and he had already found the cache by the time I caught up. Nicely done!
Pretty busy in the nearby dog park at the time, but no one was taking any notice of us. Thanks for bringing me here and TFTC.

After attempting this one a few months back and getting muggled by dogs today was the day. made a quick find before the dogs came down this end of the park. Nice way to hide it. tftc found with rayzr2
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
One 2 legged occupant in the park and 2 of the four legged varity. One of the 4 legged came over and baked a chocolate log quite close to GZ. Mum had already spotted the hide so while the owner was distracted on her phone we quickly grabbed the cache and signed the log. Nice bit of camo. Thanks for the cache
That is mean and horrible... imagine putting the love of chocolate so close to all those dogs who can't have it! Nice cache and yes I do love chocolate... probably a little too much! TFTC Sabas
Very busy place! had to time it right. See why it would be easier at night. but log signed

TregearP and I were out to Farringdon for dinner tonight and took the opportunity for a quick find on the drive in.
A quick find. All in good order, TNLNSL, TFTC.

Yes, I love them too (Chocolates!) Inventive hidey place, very clever. Found with my fav. people Geomum and Geo Jessie. TFTC
Yum - made me want to go get some! Out caching with busy paws and Geo Jessie, nice hide. TFTC.
The first on my post-lunch caches whilst attempting to clear Rolleston of my unfound caches. This nice hide gets a fav from me. Cheers
This is my last day in Rolleston so I just had to sign off a few more caches.
I had to wait until one of the K9 muggle owners moved on before going for this one.
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.
We took the geo Huskies to the dog park here this evening, and I spotted the likely hide spot through the fence. After their run around we called past and grabbed the cache. A nice hide. TFTC
Day 5 of the Awesome Mega Adventure and Guwapo, Mama and Papa have joined the DCC crew for a days caching. Salamat!
Clever construction, love it! Love the dog park, our pooch would love that!
Labour day and the Christchurch Mega is finished so I out and about getting a few more as part of a team DCC2 before I go home tomorrow. TFTC ☺
On our way to the NZ Mega in Christchurch and this was one of our stops. Found with Aoraki Sheep.
Cool camo.

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.
Finally a nice easy find after five DNF's in a row. Hopefully we have broken the trend.
Found on our 25 day New Zealand South Island holiday.
Apologies for the late log but with little or no internet as we travelled and only super slow WiFi in van parks I decided to log all finds on my return home.
A quick find while geowife was swimming at the nearby aquatic centre. I didn't know what a hebe was but I liked "the container" anyway

6965. Out on a geocaching trip in the Rolleston area today. We did five before lunch and six after lunch. A very relaxed pleasant day. This was cache number five and yet another very easy one. We parked on the road and had it in hand within about 30 seconds. This is a very familiar area to geocachers. We love these clever caches.Thanks for the cache. Now off to Coffee Culture for lunch. Rodney and Iris.
A nicely hidden cache. The dog lovers across the fence were too busy to noticed me. TFTC
After a couple of months of solving puzzles, decided to head down to Christchurch and tackle a "few" caches in the Rolleston area.
This cache formed part of a series of quick finds as we made our way to the start of the Metal Mania series (or at least the ones that we had solved!). A great container!

Have driven past before and not even bothered - too many muggles. This time everyone was down the other end so no worries. TFTC (1704)
We weren't sure if we were going to be able to get this one today. We have been muggled a couple of other times and I have been ready to get a smiley on this cache. Today was the day- minimal traffic and a break in doggie visitors gave us just enough time to snatch the cache. Thanks!
A big mission was accomplished - Sonia and Menzo's wedding in Nydia Bay. Considering the number of cachers in the family, it is not surprising that we turned the trip there and back into a semi-caching road trip! We signed most logbooks as team polak to save space and time. We are grateful to all CO's who made our travels so much more fun.
Chocolate would get me any day! We stopped here on the homeward bound journey, and while the boys went to get it, they needed a bit of help with the botany TFTC!!

On a FTF mission with TG and I needed to mop up Rolleston before heading home. This was one of the stops on the 'way home'.
Quick stop and a fun hide, good work I liked the effort for these M&Ms. Fav from me.
Thanks for the cache.

Nice bit of camo work, it should last a while. A very popular park with the four and two legged ones. Cheers.
Lots of muggles about, sat in the car waiting for an opportunity, got out and looked around while on my phone (not). Spotted it quickly. Well done tftc
Spotted it pretty quickly. Waited for the cars to go past, then, muggles in the dig park. UUURRRGGGHH. waited for them to go and then a quick sign. TFTC.
Bonnie our Westie Geodoggie thought she was going to have a romp the Playground with other Dogs.

Needed my cache for the day - and with it being so late, and 2 DNF already, I was not impressed. Very not impressed.
Took a look at this one as my next attempt. Looked easy enough, so came to give it a go.
Spent a bit of time looking around, getting frustrated at myself, but woo hoo!!
Found it after not too long - so that was pretty exciting! And then bed time. Lol.

A wonderful container, and almost difficult to find in that relatively easy spot, so well done. We now understand the title. Had to look innocent while a dog made itself known through the fence. Thank you.
In the area(ish) at night. Quick find and sign with everyone tucked away from the cold.
Nice wee hide. Cheers.

We are unable to resist chocolate. Nothing like a quick cache find on the way home. Awesome hide. Definitely a favorite on this one. Tftc
Flicked the computer on and saw another cache had been published, and less than 1km from home! Hopped on my bike and headed out to see if I could be the first to it. The dog park was surprisingly quiet so I made the find quickly and was greeted with an empty log! Yay!! FTF @ 15.40.
Good camo so hopefully it will have a long life where it is. TFTC.

Needed a cache for the day and saw this one published around lunch time. Decided I would leave till Chelzea finished work rather than making two trips. Just starting to get dark when we arrived and with only one distant vague figure still walking dogs and a car or two passing by it was a quick find and sign. Great camo. TFTC
