Mega Cycle 1 (Canterbury) Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand
By Nosynel on 02-Dec-15. Waypoint GC67N88

Time to archive this one. I'm pretty sure it is missing. I will either replace it with a new one or someone else will.

No luck for me this morning. Even two ladies who apparently found some caches around Cashmere a couple of years ago took a quick look, but nope, just rocks. Given that the cache has not been found for some time, a quick check by the CO would be most appreciated, thanks!

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

We are at level 2 so geocaching is permitted.

======== NZ Mega 2021 ========
Planning for the NZ Mega 2021 event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, October 2021

Due to the government ordered Covid-19 lockdown, I will be doing my bit to #slowthespread. From 11.59pm on Wednesday 25 March 2020.

The virus can survive on plastic and paper for longer than three days

If you would like a geocaching related activity to do while you are observing the lockdown, I welcome messages about how to solve my puzzle caches - I am happy to give hints and tutorials so you have lots of new caches to find when this is over.

Couldn't find

Thought i would go out to do some caches and found this one forgot my pen so know i know where it is i can come back and sign it tomorrow

Spent a good 30 mins with kids looking for this one. No luck for us today.

This was found very quickly. TFTC!

Too many rocks and no luck.

TTFC! Found as part of Bunny and Lion

Had a few strange looks while trying to look inconspicuous. Got there in the end. TFTC

Must have turned over every nearby rock until we found it! Log is a bit damp and mouldy, but nevertheless a good find. Thanks

Easy find out for a ride. Tftc

Found out riding with kids and ecfam.

That was a very lucky rock pick first time. Container a little rusty and log damp but writable

Took a while to find. Very windy today. A lot of rocks which made it hard. Geo dog with us having fun.tftc

Off to Sumner as ages since we were last there......warm sunny afternoon and cache soon found and logged. Geodog enjoyed the estuary smells. Tftc

We were surprised how quickly we found this cache. Just the first place we looked and we had the cache in our hands. A lucky day for us, TFTC

??

22:11
We parked on The Brae (what an interesting street name!) and ran across the road. It was already dark, and we realized how many rocks there are around GZ. We let out a contemplative sigh, and then the unexpected happened - we found the cache very quickly!
Cache of the day - check, now we could go to bed

#5746

Heading home from getting indian in sumner and we braved the rain in order to get a smiley. Tftc.

Found with injeanious after a visit to Sumner for Indian. A bit wet outside but the cache was nice and dry. Tftc!

Quick find thank goodness after being thwarted at The Pipe and a dnf on a solved puzzle. Cache in good Nick. Great time to sign. No one much about. Tftc

Out on my bike today. Quick find at the GZ following the hint. Log book dry and in good condition. Thanks to all cache owners for taking the time to place and maintain your caches. BJ25. Find# 1425

Nope

Lots of traffic going past - makes it tricky to be discreet around the muggles! Haha! But great find on a Sunday morning!

Quick find on a winter's day.

TFTC!!! Beautiful afternoon walk

#900th actual cache found. Found by Graemey and Mrs Graemey (UK) whilst doing a bit of birdwatching around the Estuary. TFTC-Nice hide.

Found this after emerging from Mt Pleasant. We had an epic bike trip up Dyers Pass Rd - up to the sign of the Kiwi (which was shut today - sad!) and along the Summit Rd, then ripping down Mt Pleasant Road. Unfortunately there was a very cold wind up on the Summit Road, but once we were back on the flat it was another beautiful day. TFTC - thought it might be a difficult one amongst the rocks but it was pleasantly simple

Parked near this one with the intention of cycling to Sumner picking up caches as we went. Made it as far as this one (all of 140m) before Mr6 declared the headwind too much. Change of route to the opposite direction up the river where it was much more sheltered but no caches that hadn't been found already. Never mind. This was a nice easy one but there are lots of rocks. Tftc.

Wasn't really a one rock lift to find it but got there in the end. 150'th find tftc

Visiting summer and could not resist

Found with Mporokosa. TFTC.

Bike riding out to Sumner and picking up a few caches along the way. Dressed for cooler weather, but it turned really nice while we were out. In fact, a fantastic day weather-wise. Found the cache no problem just before a walking muggle got too close. Thanks for placing Nosynel.

Brr! What happened to summer? A bit of a hunt but the coords were accurate and it's cold enough to keep most runners away. TFTC

Nice easy find on a great day out. TFTH

Out for a walk. Tftc

Found with Sevren.tftc

Rather open area for a search but manged to grab between the muggles cycling, skating, walking and scooting along the path.

7447. Out on an 11km bike ride to Scarborough so stopped off at some geocaches on the way. This was found after a reasonable search, even though the coordinates were pretty accurate. So many rocks, such a small eclipse! Thanks. Rodney and Iris.

Cords accurate but it was still a needle in a haystack!

#12701. An enjoyable walk to GZ and a quick find. TFTC.

Found on a nice bike ride / walk along this path. It is a great walkway and thanks for placing a cache here.

After a bit of a chilly start, the temperatures climbed until it seemed almost spring like weather, especially out of the wind. We hadn't been to the Redcliffs / Sumner area since last year so we took advantage of the good weather to head there to clean up some caches in the area - with mixed results.
This was cache #1 for the day and we parked in the nearby parking area and had a pleasant walk to GZ. With spot on co-ordinates, the cache didn't take long to find. The walk back to the car was not quite as pleasant as we were facing into brisk wind. What a great cycle path / walkway and it looks like it is well used too. TFTC.

Out and about with tmann421 enjoying the sights and collecting some caches along the way.

A nice quick find for us here. TFTC

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

Took a bit of rummaging around but it was spotted in the end. TFTC.

Out and about with Karma Reprint picking up a few more D/T's and decided a trip to Sumner was in order. Parked over the road and spent a few minutes watching the birds out in the estuary while waiting for muggles to depart. A bit of fossicking and success. Cheers

PArked over the road, got over at a breal in the traffic, I looked and KM found where I had already looked. Doh.

A quiet Sunday drive with Ms KR turned into an adventure when Kiwi Moose scored a leave pass. The aim was to find some more of the D/T grid, and anything else along the way. Great way to spend a Sunday.

Thanks to the CO's for the hides. Cheers.

After a lovely Lunch of Fish n Chips on Sumner Beach,then finding another Cache on the Summit Road,we were determind to turn our DNF into a Smillie..Lots of People Walking,Jogging and Cycling went past,but thankfully no one stopped to asked us what we were looking for..Pleased to have it off our List..TFTH

Well thats another one off my list. Had a look when these ones first came out but had no luck then but no problems this time. Tftc. Cheers Bo

Someone has to be a First to not Find.Looked up and down,while the heavy flowing traffic roared past..Found a Dead Gull though..Might be back...

Nice easy find just before that awful quake, was looking for Cycle mega 2 when it struck. Went home !! funny that. Will go back and get it later. TFTC

Out for a Sunday walk. TFTC

Headed out for a bike ride and playground this afternoon/evening. We parked up just off the motorway and headed down this track. Didn't know it went all the way to Ferrymead Heritage Park. We ended up doing a 8.5km bike ride grabbing a few caches and having a play in Mt Pleasant. Good fun.
We were dissapointed that the park by the Ferrymead Heriatage park was only a soccer grounds and not play facilities. We headed this way to go to the Mt Pleasant park. We stoppped by here for a quick find. Had a giggle as the other day cachelet #2 crashed 130m away and we were celebrating going further than the other day. It's great when they are so young and bouncy and falls don't hurt them too much.

Thanks for the cache Nosynel.
#4203

Easy find today. Thanks for the cache.

Easy find TFTC

Summers day Max said he wanted to take a friend geocaching and who am I to say no. Completed the Sallies series across the other side of the estuary then the Kids said let's do more....again I'm not going to say no, so hi ho hi ho a geocaching we go....signed the log. Thanks for bringing me here to this place, TFTC Nosynel, from Mr Cuddly Brick, 30 December 2015, cache number #1149!

Found surprisingly quickly considering the number of possible hiding places around... enjoyed the walk along the estuary in the setting sun. TFTC (2644)

Found whilst cyclocaching from Lancaster Park (remember where that was?) to Sumner Beach and back. This is the 5th cache found so far. Only lifted 2 rocks previous to the find.[^] TFTC

Great to see that the cycle pathway has been repaired so well since we were here a year ago. Tftc

Haven't been on my bike for a couple of months and so thought that if I was to get this cache it should be in the spirit of it. A quick find and a great view.

TFTC. It was such a pleasant evening that we had family dinner at the beach and then decided to gather a couple of close by caches.
Thanks Nosynel for placing the cache.

Wow, first rock our grandson picked up! Great walkway TFTC

Apologies to nosynel as after signing the log and readying the cache to be returned to its hiding place, grandson dropped it and it disappeared in the rocks!! We searched for ages to no avail. Drove home and made a replacement cache which is now hidden. It is a camoed eclipse container, with a new log book. Thanks for placing your caches and we look forward to finding (not losing) more of them.

Oh my brother, become a believer in the great and all encompassing co-ordinates. So many places, but it is right there!!! A huge sigh and on we went. A very pleasant walk on another hot day. Thanks N.

Plenty of spots to hide in but we soon sighted it and enjoyed watching the birds while we signed the log. TFTC

FTF
Juggling work and the wee dudes today with Mrs TG spending the day in wellington....lovely sunny day and saw these were still unlogged in the early arvo. Decided a wee adventure was required before picking the boys up from school.
Parked up at the yacht club and a nice wee wander to gz......all the better for it being high tide and not at all wiffy. Nice. Bit of a breeze but rather nice. Decided to carry on walking to the next. Cheers.

Had my work do today. ANd needed to find some caches after. Preferrably two. Not aiming to fill my calendar in 6 times over by next year, but yes to aiming to doing it at some point. So may as well try get closer now.

Easy find. Tide and this cache may not cooperate if we have bad weather though...

Consec Caching day # 1125

TFTC!!
