Sorry but at GZ I had not the foggiest what the hint item meant.. it is quite a busy road isn't it.

#0360Quick find. Friends wanna some coffee so we stopped by the BP, saw the cache, went to the coods, immediately know what to look. In 5 sec cache in hand and all good. Logs dry and clean but the cache is missing a cap. TFTC

I was pleased for a great hint here that led me straight to the cache and saved me from looking too dodgy searching in this busy spot. I just had to wait a bit for a change in the lights before replacing. TFTC!

Well done, was a great clue. Some kind person has added paper to container to sign. Thanks all

My first cache! Unfortunately it was empty, but hopefully the start of finding many more!

Quick, easy find for the kids on a 30 degree day

I had a work meeting not too far from here so stopped on my way to find this cache. Found it in the second place I checked. TFTC, Biggles.

Awesome clues and hiding. Thanks

Tftc! Didn't bring a pen unfortunately so couldn't sign log book.

Our family moved to Christchurch a few months back, and since then we have had the privilege of hosting some of my Wellington Puzzlers group members for caching weekends. This weekend was TwigNZ's turn.Since we were in the area having just chased a FTF, we decided to get this and a few other caches in the immediate proximity. All good here. A quick easy find thanks to the good hint. Thanks for the cache.

I very much love getting to visit the South Island. Until recently it wasn't something I got to do very often, but in the last year I've managed a series of mini-trips for geocaching, and here we are at the start of 2024 with another one. Just like my first SI trip in 2023, I've come to Christchurch to target a few specific caches to help with my Jasmer Grid, and qualification for a few challenges I'm currently working on.This is Day 4, my last day before catching my flight back to Wellington this evening. I wasn't sure what my plans actually were for today, but whatever they may have been was soon forgotten with the publication of a new cache. ThatDarnBear, who has kindly been hosting me for my visit, and I sat down and tried to solve it. We did well, but not quite well enough for a quick solve. A few discussions with friends soon had it sorted out and then we jumped into the car...We missed out on that FTF, but whilst we were in this area we took the opportunity to do some other caches including this one.As we had been in such a rush to leave the house this morning, we were by now feeling much in need of some urgent caffeination so decided to stop at a BP. That meant we looked at our maps and spotted this cache close by. A brief walk and we were at GZ, and the find was pretty much immediate. The lid is missing from the container, but otherwise no other issues to report here, so once we had signed the log it was all replaced as found.Thanks for setting this one up.

Down in the Christchurch area with woolwood9. Day 4 - another very nice day out.SL *tm/ww NZ*Thank you for the reason to visit this cache and location *Good find here.*

Haha! A creative spot. Previous comments helped a bunch!

We looked in the drain with my friends phone and didn’t see anything we looked up and down and we were going to go back home but then my friend thought what if it’s in the cover for the drain she reached her hand all the way up and found it

Nice easy find today with IceBerguson after his attempt the first time, must have been too high up the first time
Tftc

i was down in Chch for about a week staying with an olden days friend living in Halswell, and we went out to locate a few caches in the area and as we travelled along this road she said have a look and see if we are passing any.. i hadn't even thought about these as i only expected to get the few specific caches so these caches along here were a real bonus to my numbers etc
many thanks for this cache and another smiley face.

Such a cute little cache and loved the hint haha. Cool to see when someone has found it earlier that day! tftc

Out and about finding a few caches.

TFTC

Easily found this evening, dodging the ever-present muggles as best as possible. TFTC!

Yay no spiders but did find the cache

Yay no spiders but did find the cache

Good job we know our nursery rhymes. Quick, easy find. Even though we've come out quite late it's still a very busy area, so had to be aware of muggles. TFTC

Couldn’t sign log book bc I didn’t have a pen will sign logbook eventually tftc

Checked today and the cache is still intact but was almost out of reach. Aslan

Looks like it’s been a while moved.

No luck today. Thought the clue made it simple, maybe it’s gone?

Good spot!

Thank you - great hiding space, has given us some ideas to create our own xxx

Cool spot.

Had to stand around waiting trying to look all nonchalant until the lights had changed and the traffic gone till I could grab it. Signed it off and then played the waiting game again to return it. TFTC # 14,460

Nice and dry. On a mission for Mystery at the Museum.

Nice clue! We had almost given up.....but then we got it. Our first cache thanks heaps

Great hide. Difficult being stealth but I think we managed it!

A busy intersection made worse as school had just got out. However, the hint was excellent and we soon found the cache while I stood strategically to hide what M was doing.
