A cache (Canterbury) Rangiora, South Island, New Zealand
By FastFrames on 26-Jan-15. Waypoint GC5KVT5

I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

Hi FastFrames

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Regards

Nothing here

Many DNFs,

Sadly a DNF for us!

Come here with a friend who had previously done this, had a look but no lock here. Not many leafy green shrubs to look under, but some ground work has been done here.

Unable to locate this one. Flax bushes not being one of my favourite search areas I didn't get terribly keen.

Vegetation at the point is gone but found cache despite no green shrub. Just took a while but I didnt want 2 dnfs in a row! Thanks for the cache.

Nice easy find as per hint.. TFTC

With Joojoo57 out and about in the area to do the Horses series as a number one goal but found a few of these random trads as well along the way.

After a quiet day of caching the day before I headed out today with KCN and were later joined by macpacmum. Weather was great for caching and a great day was had. Collected mostly Horses 101 plus various traditionals along the way. Thank you to all the COs for placing and maintaining the caches.

Had to visit A Cache - one of many today. Cheers

Its Thursday - day two - Rangiora - Lyttleton today. K2R cycle is in the bag. So lets go exploring in Toby and see where the Geotrail takes us today.

Its Waitangi Day - day one of a five day weekend exploring the amazing Canterbury, with The Seagnoid, Zara, Toby, Jack and Jill. Two days Rangiora, a day in Lyttleton and 2 days in Banks Peninsula. I got call from The Seagnoid, hes taking a long weekend. Lets go to the West Coast! Lets Go!! but maybe not the West Coast - rain on the way. So lets go to Canterbury. We leave for Christchurch Tuesday evening after picking up The Seagnoid after work. We make camp for the night at Amberly. Today its off to Rangiora for a cycle trip.

Woah! A stunningly good name for this cache!

Down to Christchurch with Taybeedragon, Zara and Toby for a five day weekend starting Waitangi Day (which this year fell on a Wednesday. I reckon half the country would have been taking 5 day weekends!). Three days in Rangiora. We did two cycle trails there - having two vehicles makes it so easy. One of those cycle trails was fifty caches. Fifty caches in one day on a bicycle! Then a couple of days exploring the back roads around Akaroa. Darn close to two hundred caches in all. Dropped off a lot of path tags along the way, especially if the cache was nice and dry.

Nice

Easy find with my nephew. Thanks for the hide.

TFTC. Out hunting down the name series with kotukuSI and then onto pickup a few caches in Rangiora.
So a great day out with all names accounted for and a few others found along the way.
Thanks FastFrames for placing the cache.

Sunday, now afternoon, caching in N Canty with purdiepurdie - had tackled a new series nearby & stopped in Rangiora for a few caches on the way home.
Thanks for this cache, FastFrames.

Out having a geocaching day in North Canterbury TFTC

It wasn't until I headed back to the car that I worked out how this cache was named. Well done
A nice quick find to keep my streak alive.

On holiday for week visiting family in hometown so while in the area made a quick stop. A quick find here signed log and replaced as found. The very first cache for 2018. Tftc an

Oh yeah a cache - what a treat. I thought this was missing after checking both sides but then found it in the last possible place as you do. Pleased to see it sitting there. TFTC # 11,780

A quick find on the way out of Rangiora to claim some Horse series. All good here, TFTC Fast Frames

Today was the first day of a 5 day trip to Chch to catch up with family and friends. After an early start on the roads (about 5.20am) to beat the stop/go setups on the inland road south of Blenheim, we soon found ourselves in Nth Canterbury around lunchtime and with a good 4-5 hours to spare. Nothing for it then but to indulge in a bit of caching.
The targets included another canter (the third so far) around the Horses series, and a stab at the forks along the bank of the Waimakariri. And as the day progressed another goal presented itself - 51 caches for the day, a record for us and way more than we would dare to indulge in back home.
Thanks to all the COs for the caches, and apologies for the cut and paste of this log. Where we could maintain the logs we dipped into our ready supply of RITR paper to refresh them, but generally encountered few other issues.

A day dedicated to as many finds as possible. TFTC

Feeling like pros. We went straight to it

I went out for a day of caching, with no specific plans, just picking the next one off the map. I realised that I did not include many going north in the PQ, so heading west would be my best bet. And a cache along the way! Would you look at that! As I was standing there with the GPS, a guy pulled up and asked me if I was looking for glasses - apparently he fund some nearby a few days ago. They are now at the local police station if anyone is looking! TFTC!!

On a very wet and cold July day

Wow what a day, started at 7.30 just as daylight was arriving and the misty rain had me worried, turned out to be a great day with a total of 120 caches not the goal I had set myself (next time we are here we will try the 270 in a day again) but still a great goal at 120, thank you for placing and maintaining the caches we found, sorry for the copy and paste logs we had many to find and only recorded if damage or logs replaced.

Found it

Took a few minutes before locating!
Thanks

Today Injeanious and I started early and left home at 7am aiming to complete our biggest geocaching day ever. We started in Templeton before heading to Thompson Track and Rangiora. Altogether we found 126 caches in 14 hours. We had maybe 3 DNFs all day so felt very successful, although very tired.
Thanks to all the cache owners for helping us with our great day!
Sorry for the cut and paste logs but there were too many caches to log individually.
We signed our logs as JeJe to save time and space.

We were just about to give up when this one was spotted by Injeanious.

Jess.daphne and I decided to beat our personal best caching day of 51 finds and try to get 120. We did better than that coming home with 127 finds! We started our mission at 7 am heading to Thompson's Track, then we went up to Rangiora before getting home just before 9 pm. An epic day. Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining the caches. We signed our logs as JeJe (and JeJeBu when The Burnsey joined us). Sorry for the cut and paste logs.

One more cache? Why not? This was our last one for the day, lucky number 126. We looked in all the wrong places and then I spotted it. We signed and called it a day. Tftc.

My target today was to find 14 caches to bring my total finds for the 3rd Dec to a nice round 20.
After a slow and lazy start to the day, we headed to Rangiora for lunch with my mother and made a short detour for this cache. StreetWalker had already found it earlier in the year, so one would have thought it would be an easy find but it took a bit of fossick in the undergrowth to hit pay dirt. A very busy and exposed area, so hopefully we didn't attract too much attention. One down, 13 to go! TFTC.

A nice easy find here. On a 11 day caching trip around the south island. Log signed as b&p.Tftc FastFrames. Find # 3424

A quick find with the 3yr. Thanks.

Tftc nice quick find! Was out in the open so replaced it a little more tucked in.

TFTC ''really'' quick find!

Quick find, TFTC

#12112. I need a cache of the day, and this one fitted the bill well (an almost drive by on the way to work). It was still dark when I arrived at GZ, but the trusty walking pole hit plastic on the first prod. TFTC.

A surprisingly quick find, given the hiding place, of this underwhelmingly titled cache. TFTC

Third one

Found a another cache with minionsinnz on our kid/scooter mission

Quick find on our way home from shopping. Thanks.

Nice easy find on a great day out. TFTH

Another quick find. TFTC.

I am in Christchurch for the mega as there will be to many caches to log I am logging standard caches for everyone. Thanks to everyone for placing their caches. tftc

It was a cache

Found after about 3 looks at that spot Caching with Nanzie over the time of the mega so most logs have been signed as PC & N or something similar TFTC

In town for a “Mega” weekend of caching. I joined up with Yeetrees and gonefishing to form Team YGB. I really enjoyed exploring the country roads of Canterbury. We travelled a fair few Kilometres in the 4 days we were here, and had a great time, with a lot of laughs along the way. Good weather, and good company. It doesn’t get much better than that does it.


Monday. Day Four, Area 4. Today we ventured north up towards Amberley. A change of scene from the long straight roads on the plains that we had experienced in the previous days. We then headed back to Pegasus and Rangiora to round out the day with a bit of urban caching.


Thanks to all the CO’s for all the caches we found.


Cheers and TFTC

Found during the Mega weekend on bit of a tiki-tour around the Canterbury back blocks. Great weather, great caches, great fun! Thanks to all the cache owners for putting out and maintaining caches for us to find. All in all, a fun road trip with Boxhill and Yeetrees, we signed many of the logsheets as YGB to save both time and logsheet spaces.

An easy find - - - as they are when the log is handed to you . I'm sure I just looked there . TFTC .

All in all, a fun road trip with Granville86a, Mrs Hazzer and KiwiGeoswami, we signed the log as a Team under the name P.E.G.S to save both time and logsheet spaces. Thank you for the cache!

Here for the CHCH Mega. Called by after the Picnic event nearby. Quick find. Liked the camo cover. SL. TFTC.

Nice quick find. Had visited the area 18 months ago, so was good to see how the area was looking since then.

TFTC!

Having been to the Rangiora Twighlight Market for the event we were heading back for dinner, picking up a few caches on the way. After a few nights of just snack type dinners, we had decided to head back to Kaiapoi for a decent resturant dinner (Can recommend the Roast Beef at Jaggers). TFTC

Caching with PEGS ! Thanks for the cache ! Great fun at the Mega !

A quick find on the way to a birthday party. Tftc.

Tftc.nice and easy. O found this cache while doing a big geocaching adventure.

Found straight away after a failed walk by a while ago. TFTC (2467)

Thanks for the cache.

Due to the rain our FFT walk was cancelled and we took shelter at warfi's house instead. After a good chatup/warmup we were back out into the still cold but no longer rainy day. A nice quick no hassle find here. Thanks for placing the cache and adding to our smilies

Quick find, took tb, tftc

Needed a cache today, and I knew it would be a tough day to get one, so decided that the earlier the better!!

We were off to mitre 10 to go get some building supplies, and thus it seemed like a good time. With a long day planned ahead of us, did a quick decision of what I had unfound nearby, and just picked the closest trad. Unfortunately that park had a bunch of little kids with parents in it, so find would be tough... off to this one instead!!

No little kids here, so parked on up, read the hint, and made the quick find in an empty spot

Consec caching day #979

TFTC!!

Easy find at night

Dropped a travel bug.

Nice day to be out caching, but had to be easy to get too. My legs are a tad sore after power walking the half marathon yesterday. Who new you used all those muscles. Hmm hunted for awhile before spotting it. Damm you camo. Cheers for the cache.

I like a cache so this one was definitely for me Needed the hint.

TFTC

A chilly day out with Karma Reprint, finding the little boxes. Picking up a bunch of puzzles around town, be rude not to stop and get this one as we drive past. Cheers

Found with the hint tftc

A nice one for kids if we had any. Tftc

Had planned to grab one of the Horses series when I was out and about this morning- but discovered as I approached the road I wanted- that I had forgotten my "puzzle book". Very frustrating- so popped round and ticked this one off instead. tftc

I thought this cache was going to be trouble ,, But easly enough found. TFTC. Cheers Bo

A quick find and the cache was a reasonable but only had a logbook in it so I put a few small swaps into it.

Thanks for the cache.

I had some spare time between work commitments so decided to head off and find a few caches. It certainly is, and a quickly found one too. TFTC, Biggles.

Found quickly on way home tonight. Not subtle caching in uniform, but that's why I have mini cacher, so I can hide in the car. Picked up gorgeous camel TB

All quiet in the park today so a quick find. Thanks

No wonder there is a chill in the air this morning. There is snow on the foothills and mountains!
You get a good view of the mountains from this spot. The container was big enough for a travel bug I have been carrying around since a trip to Auckland a few weeks ago.

A nice quick find, all quiet at GZ.

Found on a sunny afternoon's drive around Rangiora.

Thanks for the hide.

6702. With both of us free today and a fine weather forecast, we decided to take the bikes for a ride out to Rangiora. We did the first half of the FFT bike trail, a new track for us, before going for lunch at the nice coffee shop in town. After lunch we decided to spend the afternoon doing caches around the town and complete the bike trail another day. This meant we found eleven caches in the morning and eleven caches in the afternoon. A very pleasant day overall. This was the twentieth cache of the day and a nice easy find. Thanks for the cache. Rodney and Iris.

Back in town for a couple of nights (and one in Nelson in between) for my father's 80th. Despite flying in in the early hours, I woke early even for NZ time. Not being able to get back to sleep, I headed out for some caching. Another easy find here, thanks to the hint. TFTC.

Out and about in the evening with TheWanglers on a Rangiora caching adventure...After successfully finishing off the FFT along the Ashley on our bikes we headed into 'town' to fid a few more. Quick find and sign using the hint as GPS was circling!.....Cheers....
