As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving this to keep it from continually showing up in search lists. Just contact us when you have the cache repaired, and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive 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,

No luck in the morning gloom.

It wasn't nice weather so we didn't hunt for long!

We were only staying a block away from this hide so we took the chance to shoot out this afternoon and grab it which we did after a gap in the juggles appeared. TFTC [^]

Thanks

Taking advantage of the nice long summer evening to go and find a few caches after work. This was the first one I came to. Parked right at GZ and found the cache in the second place I checked. TFTC, Biggles.

Our very first find! Thanks so much!

Only two days before we leave this beautiful country of New Zealand, so again we cache along our route to complement our site seeing. We also toke the time to walk a bin along an old train track. We had some bull looking at us and they followed us to the end of there field.

Tried two other caches today but couldn't find them so as a comfort went to have an easy one after shopping at P'n'S.
Easy and boring, and "nothing special".
Thinking green and not doing any money **laundering**.

Here in ChCh for a quick visit... while Miss 17 is still fast asleep I headed out on a coolish sat morn for a walk around the neighbourhood near the Motel.
This was no. 4 and the streets around here are just getting busy - so some real stealth was involved it grabbing this one. Took up the road and signed before wandering back and replacing.

Hooray! After seeing Absolutely Fabulous nearby it was absolutely fabulous to find this to get my daily cache in! Tftc

Nice quick find, clever spot that is well hidden but not too hard. Tftc!

Quick find, local to my flat! Tftc

Thank you for a fun quick cache before work!

Quick find this morning while out and about. Down from Hastings for a few days and grabbing a few local caches. Thanks.

Got it!!

Our first find in NZ!

Found! Cache in good condition. Tftc

I managed to park too far up the street so took a short stroll back to GZ. Just as I was about to retrieve the cache a neighbour chose the moment to roll the wheelie bin out to the kerb. Wait... a quick grab, sign the log and put back in place.

Thank you! I've been so frustrated with my poor geocaching abilities lately that I was starting to lose hope. Awesome find on our way back home

TFTC.

Easy Park and grab

A quick walk by and grab failed with some young guys hanging round their car nearby. So walked back to car and did a drive by. Gz was clear so signed and on my way. Tftc

Thank you, really easy to find

Nice easy find. Thanks

Quick find. Had to wait for ages for a girl sitting in her car with her headlights pointing right at the cache. Got it in the end tftc

Found it.

A quick easy find. TFTC

Late night caching tonight. Tftc, hint is good

This weekend saw us travel down to Christchurch from Auckland to tackle some caches towards our GIO Licence Challenge on Rangitoto Island. We needed to find 125 caches at least 500km from home, which also consisted of at least 50 different owners. Some cheap flights made Christchurch seem like the perfect opportunity to fulfil these requirements. It was a jam packed caching filled weekend, and a bit of a whirlwind visit, but we got to see some cool things during this time.

Waited for a muggle to finish delivering her circulars before making the grab. We replaced it just in time before another couple out for a stroll appeared from around the corner! Thanks for the hide.

A very late log, found this entry in our cache field notes today, and noted they had not been entered!

Radionut had a couple of day's work in Christchurch at the start of April, so we were staying close by. A walk to the Mall went very close to this, so we found this hide on the way.

Signed one of the many loose bits of paper.

Found it

While walking through the city of Christchurch this was one of our finds.
It was superb to watch the city, the people and to find some interesting caches.

We enjoyed that day very much.

TFTC found while biking

After lunch at the mall I left the family to shop while I escaped with my umbrella for a walk and a couple of caches. This one was a nice easy find.
Thanks alft for the cache.

A quick find in a quiet side street by a vey busy mall.

[green]Find #606 [/green]

First find of the day!
We were out today in Christchurch picking up some local caches. This was the first cache we found. We found the best point of entry to the street from our accomodation.
After parking the car nearby, we headed off to GZ. A quick search resulted in a find with spot on coordinates. I stealthily retrieved the cache, signed the logbook and replaced it as I found it.
Thanks for the nice easy cache.
Took: Photo
Left: Nothing
Coordinates were perfect and contents and cache were in good condition.
Well done alft.

Thanks

Some interesting architecture near here. The kids found a colourful brooch they liked so they swapped it for something. TFTC!

Quick stop on the way to Kmart. No one around so an easy find. Tftc

Found on a short caching trip en route to the movies. I am slightly too young to remember the "Who shot J.R?" pop culture touchstone, but I only just missed it! TFTC

Quick find. TFTC

Found. Bring your own pen.

A quick and easy find after a night at the Robbie. Tftc.

Easy find, tftc!

Quick find while on an early morning raid before heading to the airport. TFTC AlfT & Co, #8220

Easy find. Tftc

I happened to be in town for a conference at the University and this was the closest cache to our accomodation, so once we had finished for the day I went for a late evening walk to find this cache. A nice quick find thanks to the hint. Thanks for placing it.

Had to get some liquid brown stuff nearby rather than the black stuff.

Fairly quick and easy - nice!!

Nice easy find. We will treat ourselves to a cheese burger. TFTC

Found it #8 streak

# 939 - While in Christchurch for the Mega we try to pick up a few smileys around the area where we are staying as well. Done our shopping so walk around the building to find this nearby cache (with Rhyssa6 and Triciac2).

Found it, but container was open with logbook in clear view. No pencil, but we carry our own, so no problem. Found the lid and made sure it was well screwed on before we placed it back.

TFTC alft

Out on a caching day with Dutchie1950 and Rhyssa6. Enjoyed our shopping at Westfield. Great day. TFTC.

In New Zealand to attend the mega with Dutchie1950 and Triciac2.
After spending the morning working on puzzles due to weather being too wet and miserable for caching we headed out for a bit of shopping in the afternoon. When we came out of the shops it wasn't raining so we took the opportunity to grab this nearby cache.
The lid was off and the cache out on the ground so after signing the log we put it back together and tucked it back a little further into its hiding spot.

Found during the Christchurch MEGA as part of the South East Auckland Crew (SEAC). Thanks for your cache.

Who did shot JR anyway? Then again who cares.... Nice wee cache on a holiday Monday TFTC Hi from Wellies

Day three of the ChCh Mega weekend and today's goal was to make finds on as many different cache types in 24hrs... this was another type for the day.
Just not able to drive past perfectly good cache placements.

Signed as 'SEAC' South East Auckland Crew to save logbook space and time.

TFTC.

Came down to Christchurch for the 2015 MEGA with a group of caching buddies for the weekend. My first MEGA, and it was fantastic- loved every minute, the caching, the events, meeting other like-minded crazies (sorry, I mean cachers!!!). Our group found 283 caches throughout the course of the of the weekend, so apologies for the cut and paste logs- but it's going to take me hours to log them all!!!! All logs were signed as SEAC (South East Auckland Crew), to reflect our home caching base!
HUGE thanks to all involved in putting on the MEGA event, and also to all of the Chch CO's for the effort gone to in their hides- we found some awesome caches, including fantastic hides, and cleverly done camo.... well done Christchurch, you're an awesome bunch!

Third day today, our mission being to find as many different kind of caches we could. This was a quick find on the way back from the webcam. TFTC!

Third day of our mega trip and today was all about the different types of caches.

Thanks for the cache - signed as SEAC (South East Auckland Crew)

Finally logging my Mega caches. Found with Haydnseek and Stardust.

Here for the mega. Thanks
