The cache owner is not responding to issues with this geocache, so I must regretfully archive it.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

Disabled for over 6 months

Needs maintenance.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Another visit, another DNF. I knew what container I was looking for, and that it would be higher up, and I checked all possible locations I could think of, but nothing. Can it please be checked? Also, if it is no longer reachable, maybe the D/T rating needs to be updated? Or the cache moved by the CO?

No luck here for me today

No luck for me today in spite of a tall friend.

No luck for us here today

After taking the webcam picture I was here as well. Thanks for the cache!

All I found was a tree

DNF
So, couldn't find UL V, and that said that it will be easier if you get Number1. But we couldn't get I either. I was here before during day as well, no luck.

Found it

After being away overseas, I came onto campus this morning and checked on the cache. It is ready to be found but might need a tall friend or a broom to reach it now! Happy caching!

Our first time in NZ, second day.
It was not difficult here.

This cache is unfortunately unable to be accessed due to maintenance to the nearby building. Hopefully this cache will be enabled soon!

Once we were in the right place it was a nice quick find! Lucky meow is a lot taller than me! Haha tftc

TFTC

Went past this cache this morning on my way to my office. Looks all good...I can't exactly reach. This cache was originally placed at the base of the pole...now it's all the way up there....

Long person on hand TFTC.

Thanks. Had a tall person with me luckily

Not found it (yet). to much people around to search properly

Quick easy find. Not so easy for the others that arrived and started looking for it while we had taken it to sit down and write in the log

Found it thanks to the help of another pair of cachers who were in the process of logging when we arrived to look! Good cold winter afternoon, hardly anyone around.

Attending the uni open day, I wanted to find a cache on campus to say I had been here. I walked over here in the morning and assumed the container was what I saw, hmmmmmm how to?? Anyway made a beeline for this in the afternoon and with the assistance of my not-so-trusty-umbrella-in-the-canterbury-conditions cache was soon in hand

#14287. I thought I'd find a cache today to get up to 20 for July 7 (and 7/7/17 seemed like a nice date to write into a log). I'd sussed out the cache location a week or two back, and decided a pre 7AM raid would be in order (on a slightly scenic route to work). There were a few construction muggles around, but non close to GZ. I had a stretch a little to reach the cache, and then quickly signed the log (it was too chilly to linger). Liked the hide (good to see an in-plain-sight hide in such a busy location). TFTC.

Quick find.
Tftc!!

Signed as PKWW with pygmymenace. Thanks for the cache!

We were monkeys that had learned how to use tools, so we got it down relatively quickly. What a nice location. We signed log as PKWW for PygmyMenace, Kimothy92, Wings108, and Willbotski.

Glad we bought the kids and in particular one who is part monkey. TFTC

Thank goodness we had monkeys with us. I could not have done that on my own.
Great cache. Few muggles as holiday time. Would be hard in yerm time.
Tftc.

Needed stilts to retrieve. But a little spit on ands as an aid managed to get it. Tftc

PS. on walk back to car missed a turn and realized I'm in a spot I have not seen before... I'm lost... oh well retrace my trail on the GPS. Success.

Thanks nice one it was funny seeing my five foot six friend get this one!

Might need a tall person with you, got it in the end. Thanks!

Challenging retrieval given the terrain rating is only a 1.5. We tried one tool then another with no success. Looked around for something else to assist and eventually managed to retrieve using a combination of tools. Luckily no-one was around to observe our antics on a Saturday afternoon! Placed a bit more accessible for next finder. TFTC!

Enjoying a long and sunny weekend in Christchurch and this morning in Riccarton for the market and some geocaching. Glad I had some extensions with me . TFTC

Nice and easy tftc!

Luckily my geocaching partner was over 6 feet.

Found with some help from a tall friend. Nice!

Evening ride with kiwifruitsnz.

Out for a post dinner ride with my sister and collecting a couple of caches.

GPS was bouncing around but we finally got it to settle, right on where we started!

#6011

Just as well we found the stick!

Second visit and 9-15pm on the Christmas break meant a good study of the beastie could be made in consultation with Geo jessie. This required a degree of planning! Back to the car and a handy helper obtained and replaced the cache after happily signing the log. This is stretching the 1.5 D/T but technically it is!!! I wonder what the cameras around the area show?! TFTC and the fun. Happy Christmas.

GPS refused to settle on this one but Busy Paws and I continued coming back to the same spot where we thought it was. A guy who might live on campus just began to hover around and so even though we looked around for a little while longer we became slightly un comfortable. We headed back to the car (which we'd parked WAY too far away) and grabbed a tool which just might do the job. Thank heavens that guy wasn't there as we would've looked super dodgy! Cache was signed and put back. Hope those cameras didn't see too much of us, even so if they watched the footage I just about guarantee they'd be having a good laugh at us.
TFTC!

Walked around like a headless chicken with geegeefromfiji and hughdg... then when staring into space, hughdg said "oh, you reckon that's it?" How's your vertical jump?

So obvious once you have found it. Found with odgersaj and geegeefromfiji. Bring a buddy for ease

Found on a geo mission with odgersaj and hughdg, clever hide TFTC

What a jump
TFTC

Tftf!

Mrs All7ofusNZ had attempted this one while on campus for a block course but was unable to retrieve the cache so we returned today with the required equipment (actually just a Jr. Cacher ) All quiet on a Saturday in the early evening and soon had the cache in hand. TFTC.

Found this cool little cache in no time! TFTC

Oh! There it is...TFTC!

easy on on a saturday morning

Today was my second visit to this GZ . My earlier visit was during a University term over a year ago and I arrived at lunchtime, with munching students all around so I immediately turned around and cycled away. As I had been seeking other caches in the vicinity today I decided to have another look. I arrived at GZ with no one else around, so the cache was a quick find this time. Thanks for the cache stephanie..

How did we miss that last time.. Tftc

funny one for me as gem found but was placed a little too high, just out of reach. Watching her jump and down trying to get it, well I have to get my laughs somewhere, after me getting the cache down, signed and returned, TFTC

Cache 67. I have had many classes in this block over the years and walked passed this pole many times. TFTC

Definitely couldn't have found by myself! Wonder how many I've walked past in my life like this and just never seen!

Luckily i wasn't alone when this one was found -definitely a 2 man job for us! Tftc!

Friendly security guard dropped by. TFTC.

Night time caching seemed a good time to nab this baby so as of to be muggled. Was almost out of my league but at a stretch it was in hand. TFTC SL

?

Very easy to spot

We did it!

Found it this mornin TFTC

Tftc!

Found it, was reasonably discrete! Ttfc

Pleased I spotted this quickly after two dnf on other locations. Seemed to get a gap between student mobs so hopefully got this logged and returned before the two ladies having coffee and a chat noticed. Lovely sunny autunm afternoon. Tftc now time to get to the airport.

Found it! tftc

Thanks

Great to finally grab this!! Much easier during holiday time!! TFTC:-)

Quick find on a early morning wander around the university. Redevelopment seems to be progressing well. TFTC

A quick find with TregearP.

Always great to be back in the Mainland, and pick a few caches where able.

At the cache, all in good order. TNLNSL, TFTC.

Bugger hopefully next time.

Second times a charm

Gotta love A block. The places buzzes weekdays but weekends it's dead

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.

No problems with retrieval here on a quiet Saturday morning. Thanks for the hide.

Sadly dnf. Had a good look around too.

We searched and searched feel lame as lots found easy

Nice and easy

I found it!

Found it

Found it!

Found it! First round for geocaching done

Finally had a chance to replace the logbook for this cache - at 8:00am! Not many muggles and no one was blocking the cache which was excellent. Pencil has somehow gone missing so please BYOP. Thank you and happy caching!

Thanks for the NM log. I've been trying to replace this logbook for a while but muggles have been around or Facilities Mangement have been near GZ. I will do my best to replace it ASAP.

easy find

Found thanks.

Log is full both sides

found it eventually TFTC

Found while visiting campus with Perlid. She did a study-abroad in 2010 and wanted to share some memories. TFTC

Found and intrigued uni security guard who saw some others the other day looking in same spot. We have a convert!

Another one ticked off before the students return. Quick easy find in the early am.

I shall replace the logbook this week.

We are the last name in the Log Book it needs attention ASAP
Cheers Barbara & Terry..

We had to wait until a Muggle had walked past,then it was quickly found.TFTH

Once we found the correct hint item- we realized that we could see it. Tried to leave it a bit more covered- but I'm afraid the gardeners might come across it sometime. tftc

Could see it as we walked to it so covered it as bit.
