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.

Last find a year ago, and disabled for nearly 9 months; replacement is appears unlikely.

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

No where to be seen

Seems to have disappeared. Need to replace.

No luck looks like it might have gone.

No gate post. No cache.

Couldn't find a gate post or similar. Looked in all likely places.

There exists nothing matching the description of the "clue"...

Given that it says you don't go into the school I ran out of places to search pretty quickly. I can't see anything I would describe as a gatepost.

Found it on the 19/10/16 with Carruem1

Good catch thanks

Based on description, hint and coords I think this cache may be missing, or has fallen out of place and is now buried under all the leaf litter. If the CO could check and confirm cache is still there that would be super

Didn't find it.

Glad school is out today. Quick find in the rain. On our final days of an 11 day caching trip around the south island. Log signed as b&p.Tftc burgessfamilynz. Find # 4052

A quick find on a walk home from visiting the inlaws, TFTC

A quick find after my appointment at Breastcare for my annual squash.

Last find of the day before heading back to camp

nice quick drive in...

Quick easy find on my way past to a meeting. Cleverly hidden. Our temporary post EQ office was just down the road and I had cleaned this area out whilst we were here so nice to get a new cache to bring me back to the area. Thanks for the hide.

An easy find but the logbook could do with a little TLC. Thanks for the cache

Easy find but forgot my pen

Walking from motel to conference at St Andrew's College so a quick detour for a cache. Quick find. TFTC.

Found this one on our way to the Antarctic centre for a visit. Sneaky hide TFTC

I went to school here 60 years ago and lived at 158. TFTC

Nice hiding spot.

Great little spot.

Quick find during work. Tftc

First stop on a geotour of the Merivale area, here for a few days for family. Good to see geocaching becoming a part of a school programme!

Returned after many months and there it was!! Log book is almost past the point of no return!! Managed a squiggle!! Thanks.

Found quickly after taking Jessie our Westie Puppy on a walk around Hagley Park..TFTH

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 school on a weekend, and once we figured out where we were meant to be looking, we were signing the log and on our way. Thanks for the hide.

Was in the area after dark so thought it was a pretty good time to get this one. It was a quick find using the torchlight on my phone. TFTC.

A nice place to visit after dinner, many thanks

TFTC

Thanks for the find

First find yay

A nice quick find during school hours. The log book appears to have taken a hammering with all three sheets separated, screwed up, and jammed back in. Smoothed them out as best I could and folded before replacing. Took a bit of rubbish away when I left (someone doesn't like ready salted chips).

Visiting at St Georges- so it seemed sensible to nip over the road and find a cache. Thanks- nice sneaky little hide. tftc

Thanks and hard to find

Nice easy find and a break from our mountain biking. TFTC

TFTC

Tftc just where we thought. Wonder if canty boy done this one?

No need to go into Heaton well hidden

This could be an awkward spot at certain times of the day, especially for a guy I made it more difficult for myself than need be, wondering whether I need to grow longer arms, but it ended up being much simpler than that TFTC!!

On the way home from work - had been at Friday after work drinks, and needed to get my cache for the day.

So I decided to get this one - figured that by this time all the school parents would be gone, and so there would be plenty of parking space for an easy grab!

Sure enough, I was right, and so came along to make the find.

Nice and easy here, no issues, and was soon off on my way home.

Consec caching day # 1209

TFTC!!

After my work meetings were done for the day I had some time to find a few caches before heading to the airport. Took a bit longer to spot than it should have done but all good in the end. TFTC, Biggles.

Good Hide

Found it this time had been muggled last time but we were driving past so checked it and it had been replaced. Tftc

Cool little find on way past. Tftc

No luck

A nice fine day. Just right for a cyclocache ride from Redwood into the city for some caching. This was the first stop. Nice quick find. Thanks burgessfamilynz.

Quick find as still school holidays

Out for a morning walk from my motel near Bealey Ave. A busy work day and lots of people off to work. Makes being on holiday just a little bit sweeter. A quick find of the cache and then continued on to loop back towards breakfast.
Thanks burgessfamilynz for the cache.

I needed a cache for a dot day. This was it! Tftc

A bit of a grey old day. It was also a dash day. A day on my calendar with just one find. This find brightened up the day. I have looked for this one unsuccessfully before. This time I found it.

In merrivale so called by.

Nice and easy

Nice quick find, thanks for our first cache

On the way home quick find after s previous DNF. Tftc

A quick find with the family after McD's.

A nice easy find with no one around, Thank goodness for school holidays. TFTC

Easy find TFTC

After the DNF last year we were glad to see that the container had been replaced. As it was still on our watchlist we got the DNF log from another cacher this morning. Should we try again? Well, we decided to give it a go and found the container. So now we can remove it from the watchlist, have another smiley and can continue the journey. TFTC

Just got back from a big 5 days caching trip in Central Otago. Was in the way home. Got it this time. Tftc

Not there today

School's out, tftc

On my way home from an appointment nearby, this cache was a nice easy find, with no one around to watch me and plenty of parking, too. TFTC.

replaced cache as it appears to have been muggled

No find

We had a good search in the obvious places, but DNF

Difficulty 1 and Terrain 1 - should have been an easy find. It was not to be...

Couldn't find a D1!!!!! Will never raise my head again. Some obvious places, but no cigar.

Nice easy find to start the day. TFTC

Out on a Mad Monday Mission with TG on this lovely Summers' evening. We decided to head out and collect some smurfs and grab what we can on the way. After mopping up nearly all of the smurfs (only one left for me). We changed plan and headed home via South Eyre Road. Quick find on this one the last one for the evening.

Thanks for the cache burgessfamilynz.

Quick grab while out on a lunchtime run. Tftc

Tftc. Pencil broken, if someone wants to bring a sharpener.

Nice easy find on a lovely evening out. TFTH

Heading out for dinner when we spotted this cache we hadn't seen before ... Nice easy find. Tftc!

A nice quick find on the way to quiz night. Tftc.

Sneaky grab while cars were passing after getting an xray. Getting it back proved more troublesome with the traffic about. Tftc

Out and about at night & heading for home. Passing by so rude not to stop. Easy enough to make the find and sign between the sporadic traffic. Cheers.

I thought I had logged this on Saturday when it was disabled, however log gone.
Thanks, burgessfamilyNZ; although the co-ords were well out, the hint was all good - and the new co-ords are what I had found.
