As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

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

No attention from owner, who has not logged on since 11/2017.

Can we please have an update on this one? Will it be replaced?

The cache has been muggled.

No luck today

Couldn't find it but there has been very recent clean up and replanting at the GPS site

DNF
Rain and wetness all around, couldn't spot the cache. Hugged a couple of tussocks around what seemed a small dead tree but no luck.

Easy find nice walk on the beach

The container is leaking... so log book is a bit damp! But we enjoyed the sounds of the ocean whilst hunting!!

Good hiding spot

Sad face

Very late logging ... Found with Mporokosa. TFTC.

Found with geomutt Truffles on a lovely afternoon. TFTC.

Found it! It took us a while but we found it!

Good spot near the beach and clever hide! TFTC!

Found without any problems before it started to rain.
TFTC!!

Left this one, didn't want to add to the damage on the dunes

Guess I should come back in daylight for another go...

Our last find for the day before heading to a nearby cafe for a well-earned coffee. We searched for a while and then Monson.clan spotted it- but nothing to do with the clue! Several very wet logs in there- so I added another new one in a little baggie- hopefully it will stay dry. tftc

Spotted from plantings..now to get to it. Yeah for warf'si able body.

Tftc!! Fun find on a beautiful afternoon

Went to find this cache for the third time but its gone

Couldn't find it

Finally found it but it's not under a dead tree...
awesome find though to see people have been doing this for years!

Old location dug up now in tree

Found

Awesome find took a while, more of a dead brand than a tree!

Found it but left then pen in the car so we couldn't sign the book. This was our first ever geocache

7533. Our church walking group walked right past here this morning so it would have been rude of me not to find the cache. It was a very quick find even without a GPS, map or instructions ! Memory is a wonderful thing when coupled with instinct!! Thanks. Rodney.

Bit tougher but persistence paid off

Found based on previous finders' photos. GPS off by several metres

We found that one during our holidays in nz. TFTC

Very prickly flax bushes to get there, easy to find but may not look hard enough

Good find though!

Up early this morning for a walk and a cache, this one was our first for the day, nice and easy find thanks for the cache!

First one for me and the boys

StreetWalker and I had been visiting family on this side of town, so took the opportunity to pick up a few caches afterwards .
On a blustery norwest day, the muggle factor was low. We weren't too sure where the well worn goat track was, so I went one way and SW another. I went the wrong way and had to do a bit of long grass wading to get to GZ, while SW found the easy way. We immediately consulted the hint and after searching in a few places, I spotted the glimpse of a blue pen and then the cache. TFTC.

#13407. I found the better route to GZ, and Troodles located the cache. TFTC.

This cache has been our nemesis for too long. Injeanious and I have searched here several times and have never been able to find it.
Today I needed my cache for the day and we had just finished eating ice-creams at the beach, this cache seemed like the logical choice. Well today it was found within minutes of arriving at GZ. I don't know how this had eluded us for so long!

This cache has been nemesis number one for such a long time. JD and I actually dubbed it 'Wai-poo' on account of all the poo bags nearby and our previous feelings of defeat.

We were at the beach and we decided to give it another go. This time we approached from a different angle (away from poo-bag central) and I looked in a new place and voila! Cache! Wow, why did that take so long in the past? Soooo happy to cross this one off the list. Tftc.

Quick find duribg work. Found a pen didnt go. Put it with the cache. Tftc.

Nice easy find

Forgot a pen but took a photo for evidence

First time I've been caching in while, went with rhewig, we must be out of touch as we forgot a pen, rhewig took a photo instead, tftc

Found our first ever cache!!! Took awhile but finally found

Tftf

Quick find TFTC

Cache number 110. I came here in shorts which isn't always the best idea but found the cache. TFTC

Took a while but found it in the end

Clever wee hide

Great fun finding this one!

Took an absolute age to find but we got it in the end. TFTC.

A fun road trip with tmann421 enjoying the sights and collecting some caches.

A quick find here at night, but a cold wind. TFTC

Another good cache found with just-Lookin.
Enjoying the drive / walk around.
Soon located. SL TFTC

Easy find with Holly and Gabby TFTC

Cut my hand a couple of times trying to find it so gave up.

Last one on my walk. Tftc

Yay

Our second one!

Dead tree is more of a dead branch not too hard to find

Very late log. Found this cache with my hubby Sevren.tftc

Found it with the hint. I think we would have spent quite some time here without that hint.

Got it

In CHCH for the weekend visiting friends. After a busy day we arrived back home for some cold drinks. Afterwards I was able to convince Team CeeZeeWees to go for a little walk and geocache. TFTC

got A80 here who convinced us to go for a little hunt around the place. Success 1 - found by the wee one ...

Needed a cache for the day, and this looked like just the perfect one to grab on the way home!!

Some slight wind today, and meant the entire area was nicely deserted - yay!

So a quick rock on up, and a quick grab, then off home.

Consec caching day # 1227

TFTC!!

Found it, a little off from the coords though.

Quickly and easily found, thanks.

While Amalin is still in the Czech Republic, his geogirlfriend Aya already hunts hidden caches in New Zealand successfully.

Thank owner very much for this cache!

After following the tracks in the tussock easily found it! No rubbish here today and no muggles around! Love this section of beach area one of my favourites in Christchurch!

Found while visiting family in Christchurch this weekend. Enjoyed checking out the Margaret Mahy playground then as it was so hot we all headed out to the beach for a swim. Good times. TFTC

Quick find tftc

Today was our last day on NZ. We spent it around Christchurch and on the beach on a wonderful Sunday with lots of sunshine. On our way we found some caches.
Thanks for many amazing experiences on both islands.
Greetings from Denmark.

4th of 5 finds today, and number 2300 in total! I discovered that shorts and jandals are not appropriate for this cache - too many brambles. I soon found the large container as mentioned by Gray Whanau. Clearly not a grey pill bottle though so I kept hunting. Eventually I found it, tucked away about 6m from the posted coords (using my phone GPS - a Galaxy S5). I signed the log then removed the large container to save confusion. The book inside appears to be a school book and there are two smaller containers inside it containing ex-food (now mould). Bleugh! That was all the CITO I could manage today, there's plenty more to be done, including what appears to be a bin full of doggy doo bags.
Anyway, TFTC

Found it after a bit of searching.

Was just about to give up after 20 min of fossicking under a lot of different small dead trees when I found it

Fun find...shame about the bags of rubbish people have dumped nearby. Couldn't sign log book as we forgot pen

Found on a cool day in Chch

First place we looked but found it after searching other areas. Maybe someone can bring a bag and CITO the large container that had gone wrong.
Chris & Renate from Ontario, Canada

Reasonably straightforward find on a sunny afternoon with a slightly cool sea breeze. #939. TFTC.

Found large container not sure if this was the correct one. Didn't sign log as it was wet.

Found grey pill bottle no trouble and log dry! Beautiful sunny windless morning. Now for cafe visit. Tftc

No luck for me.

Followed the trail in the grass to get to GZ for this cache. Found after a short search. Thanks for the cache.

Went round a few of the hint items looking,. Came back to the obvious one and found the little blighter tucked away.

Thanks for the hide.

#1980 We managed to find both the lunchbox AND (thankfully) the cache. It was very well hidden but where the hint suggested. TFTC!

Found with Skaga during the Mega.
Again perserverance paid off. We found a large lunchbox and then widened our search a little and soon found the correct cache.
TFTC

A short beach stroll and climb over the dunes had me at GZ.

A likely spot was found and searched.
No caches found

There was a large soft drink bottle full of a mysterious blue liquid, (not yellow thankfully), at GZ and other signs of somebody having been here !!

Other than that !!

I have no reasons for thinking the cache might be missing.
I probably just missed seeing it

Quick find on evening walk.

Found it! Tricky clue this one, lots of dead trees and tussock around here

Walked here from a dnf at Aston Reserve and it was a quick find after following the hint. Log is nice and dry despite other logs (I don't think they found the correct cache container). I've never been to this area before, thanks for bringing me here and tftc.

Lots of small dead trees and lots of tussocks. It was a bit too vague for me given the icky rubbish around the trees.

Found it

Had no trouble finding this one,after a Muggle has disappeared out of sight.TFTH

All wet inside so not able to sign the log. Great day. TFTH

Very wet log great day
