I was able to keep myself hidden by all the Pokemon go players but still cannot find it
Another dnf, not looking likely that its here, three sets of eyes couldn't find it
The muggle factor was higher here (and the hint was equally unhelpful) but we still had a reasonable look. No luck here either.
We had no luck with any of the Friends from NC caches. Perhaps it wasn't our day.
A lovely day today for a stroll in Sumner, hard to believe it is May as the weather is still so warm. Great spot for a cache, thanks for placing it here.
Found with odgersaj back when I first started and didn't understand the app/have a prem account - now I do though! Signed the log back then but didn't do the online bit so logging now. Thank you!!
Enjoyed our evening stroll here-patted a few dogs and smiled at their owners. Watched the gulls opening their tea. Plenty of choices here but got lucky-thanks.
Great to see so many people out enjoying the area. I am loving a day at the seaside thanks
Taking a walk along the foreshore from Cave Rock, geocaching as I go. A nice quick find.
Looked like rain was coming (and it was), so dashed out on the bike to grab this wee series - not so many muggles as usual
The Surf was huge and we got wet with the Seaspray,but it was nice and cooling..A couple of Muggles must have wondered what on earth we were doing scavenging around at GZ with our Butt's in the air..TFTH
Found a little before todays earthquake. Was having a picnic lunch by the beach and watched the cliff collapses!
Mid 30s heat today... Perfect day for the beach... Obviously I wasn't the only one to think so... Plenty of people around... None of them looking in my direction though... So an easy find. TFTC (2702)
The cache was out in the open so we spotted it immediately. Tucked it away a little better. Not sure that the hint is terribly helpful though. TFTC.
Found @ 8:43am
In New Zealand on a 2 week holiday with sedgwickDave. Staying in Christchurch for a couple of days before heading to Hokitika on the West Coast. Enjoyed the morning stroll along the Esplanade on this cool morning. Not too many muggles around at this time of day.

After arriving in New Zealand yesterday and with our accommodation close by myself and the wife before heading out for the day. Decided to take a walk up to the large rock on the beach. Having checked that out on our way back to the car we passed this one for a quick find. Nice.

After a number of failed attempts around Christchurch, we finally managed to find one on our holiday! A great spot even on a grey moody day.
Decided to take the baby out for a stroll on the Esplanade - and we were lucky as the weather gods were kind to us and it didn't rain for the forty minutes we spent in Sumner and I found this cache (muggle hubby was annoyed about me trying to get every single cache on my way, so managed only two today, and will be back again - hopefully with the geo-daughter). TFTC!
I was on my way to Evans Pass and the Summit Road for some caching and stopped to make another attempt at this cache - last time lunching workers sitting on the adjacent seat caused me to stroll on by. Today there was a lady sitting there talking on her phone but she moved off when I stood directly in front of her and gazed out to sea. With the muggle gone it took but a few seconds to locate and retrieve the cache. [^] My first find for 2016. TFTC Nosynel.
Took us a good 20 minutes to locate. Unfortunately the clue wasn't much use either. Got there in the end though. Tftc.
Had a look for this one but there were so many stones to choose from. Decided to go away and get the other caches and try again on the walk back. Sure enough found it in a minute. Nice hide, had to feel around to find it. Tftc.
Our favourite beach - good to have a couple of caches to find too. This took us much longer than it should have done as we were thinking too deeply. Tftc
TFTC, Lovely evening for a family stroll and dinner at the beach. Followed by a cache.
Thanks Nosynel for placing the mini series and the cache.

Out and about in the mid afternoons sunshine. A few out and about enjoying the day but easy enough to search between passing muggles and make the find and sign. Cheers.
On Tour together with Sabe73 as Team "TheBros" around South Island to visit some nice spots.
We also visited this location and could find the box almost quickly.
Thank you for showing us this place and of course for the Cache.

This was one of many caches found while over here to attend the Christchurch Mega Event. Just took some time to log it. SL TFTC.

Geotooter and I travelled across the ditch to attend the Christchurch Mega Event. One of the things I really enjoy about Mega Events is meeting so many wonderful people. It is a chance to catch up with those I already know and to make a whole bunch of new friends. I even managed to catch up with Renelm, a cacher I met while in Copenhagen earlier this year. Fantastic! We also enjoyed tripping around discovering new locations and finding some caches along the way and this was one of them. Thanks to the CO for placing this hide and adding to my global geocaching experience. Cheers.

Nice walk along the beach and a quick find. TFTC. Caching with Nanzie over the time of the mega so most logs have been signed as PC & N or something similar TFTC

Today was a trip to Sumner which I really enjoyed as we has a most beautiful day for it. Armed with sun hats etc we walked along the beach to the Cave. And as it was low tide we could walk through the cave which my Chch friend had never done. We collected the caches along the way and then walked the other way to collect the Thank you cache. I was very interested in the North Carolina caches as I have a cousin there who I have visited at Raleigh and even swam in the Atlantic ocean! Out by Wilmington I think it is called. Many thanks for these caches and the opportunity to find them all on such a warm 'summer' day. There were even children swimming... as well as the wet suit cad surfers out in the waves.
After a nice hike we decided to get some icecream and walked eating and caching along the shore. TFTC
Ahhhh, always approach these "rock" types with trepidation. Had to wait for a few muggles to pass by, but cache was soon to hand!
NZ Mega road trip.

It was very cold this afternoon. Not many muggles around so we had an easy find. TFTC
Well protected by doggie doos. Not one for a dark night. Quite quickly found and just as well with all the young muggles around. Thanks N.
A Sunday drive to Sumner for a few new caches. Hint is a little vague though.
Thanks to all the CO's for their hides.

The girls were out at swimming and I headed out with Cachelet #3 to grab this one. We parked by cave rock and walked along the espalanade and kept an eye out over the hills to the ominous looking dark clouds. We arrived after a short walk and I popped C #3 on the rocks and I had a bit of a look. Netted the cache quickly and found us an empty log book just after 9am for a {FTF}. We headed to the nearby sister cache but aborted as it started raining and we weren't dress for it so we left it for another day.
Thanks for the cache.
