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.

No point logging a needs maintenance, the CO has been inactive since 2016.

No luck for me either. Council has laid new mulch so it's either buried or gone.

DNF (maybe)? Turned up zip loc bag with faded/rain damaged papers within. Is this the cache? Unsure. Brownies, if you read this, my 1, 4, and 7 year old kids enjoyed the hunt and we found a birds nest while scanning the canopy

Think it might need to be checked

Needs to be checked, can't find it. Not much coverage left for a big container

Not found.

Stopped off in Templeton after staying a night at the motor home park down the road. Time for a coffee and some caches we thought! Lovely peaceful spot here this morning so spotted the cache, quite exposed so have left it covered up a little bit more. Thanks Brownies!

Residential area YET again

Thanks Brownies for the caches Easy finds

Nice hide

Cache log found on the ground so signed it and placed it in a replacement screw top container. Tftc

This is a lovely park for children to play in, another one not visited before. Not sure what we'd find - looked like a recent garden tidy up around the flax but we didn't find a cache nor the logbook previous cachers mentioned they'd found. Maybe we were looking in all the wrong places.

TFTC again like others found log and bag out in open

Like others could only find the bag. It seems as if the owner is no longer in the game, so not quite sure whether there will be any maintenance

Quick find on the ground. No container. Just in plastic bag. Desparetly need attention

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Headed down for th elong weekend with harisree on a mission to find some old caches and have a bit of a roadtrip. This was the first find after finally getting our rental car moving (picked it up with a stuffed battery and then had to wait hours for the AA to replace it - thanks Jucy). Got here and found remains of the cache - the log book in a bag, but no container. Put it back in the nearest tree, but CO needs to check. TFTC

We are on a mission to collect few old caches and do a road trip. This was our first find,hours after landing. We had no trouble in finding this one as it was lying down all open. The container is missing but log book was all good. tftc.

What a fantastic spot. Nice work

A bit of a search turned up the gods. Thanks Templeton Brownies, hope you all got your badges.

I was here!!

A quick find today while driving past. Great park thanks for bringing me here.

25 June 2017 17:40. I was a Snowy Owl Brownie Leader a looooooooooooong time ago when Brownies wore brown uniforms and started a meeting by dancing around a toadstool with a wise old owl sitting on top of it. We didnt do anything like geocaching - if we did secret messages it was with semphore flags! Today I was dancing around looking for a cache. All the trees here had been trimmed recently and I was afraid your cache had gone. I looked a bit more and found a cleverly concealed cache still snuggly hidden. TFTC TBrownies

Nice cache. Found after a few minutes checking out various likely hiding places. The mutt begins the fence got a bit excited. Container and log sheet in good condition. Thanks to all cache owners for taking the time to place and maintain your caches. BJ25.

Quick find.

Thank you for placing this cache. A nice little stroll across the park. TFTC.

We wouldn't have known this Park was here but for coming to find a Cache.It didn't take long to track down..Now on to the next ones..Love the Name of this one...TFTH

Thought this one might have gone with all the freshly cut branches wasn't in the first place I looked.
Scored a couple of golf balls as a bonus tftc

Had driven from Nelson to Christchurch and decided we needed to pick up another couple of caches before finishing the day. Was a bit chilly as sun starting to go down but Mr 11 yr old and I soon found the cache. TFTC

Found it!! Very sneaky hide I'm going to set some up myself so keep an eye out around the area. Thank you for the fun lunch time activity!!

No problems here this morning.

Cheers and TFTC

Two kids went for the playground while one stuck with Dad and helped make the find. A bit of searching and he came up victorious. Good on ya mate, sign the log then off to the playground. Cheers

Ignored the silly dog and found the cache.

Heading towards Halswell for a day of caching and this was on the way past so it would be rude not to grab it. a nice quick find and a great place to have a stop. tftc Found with Rayzr2

On a geo adventure with team_macdonald found nice new easy tftc

Today Injeanious and I started early and left home at 7am aiming to complete our biggest geocaching day ever. We started in Templeton before heading to Thompson Track and Rangiora. Altogether we found 126 caches in 14 hours. We had maybe 3 DNFs all day so felt very successful, although very tired.
Thanks to all the cache owners for helping us with our great day!
Sorry for the cut and paste logs but there were too many caches to log individually.

JD and I were out on a mission to have our biggest caching day so far and we accomplished it by finding 126 caches in a day! We signed the log as Jeje. We grabbed this one on our way out of town. We ran across the park and soon found the cache after we figured out where to look. The neighbours dog had just started to bark at us, so our timing was pretty good. Tftc.

Yes found this one and dnf'd the other 3 whats with that?? Great challenge on a summer Sunday Thank you for bringing me to this area and for placing and maintaining Templeton Brownies - Honeybee (Canterbury) geocache, from Mr Cuddly Brick Found on this awesome day the 12 February 2017, sweet cache number # 1672

A fairly quick find and I added a few small plastic toys to the cache. I will confess that I was also playing Pokemon on my walk around Templeton.

I was out smurfing with purdiepurdie yesterday - decided I should return to the scene of the crime to pick up some which she had already collected.
Got to the end of today's plan - and there's always "just one more" - which was this cache.
Thanks very much, TBrownies, for placing and maintaining this cache - from a former Knox, Dunedin, Brownie & Guide.

Nice hide -great to see kids getting into the sport of Geocashing TFTC

Thanks Brownies another good cache

Nice hide and awesome cache in a lovely park, I got to walk my dog and my brother loved the swaps! Thanks!!

Took a wee while to work out which one. But found. Nice park. Tftc

Awesome find. Thank you! A quick trip to stretch the legs after travelling from Palmy. Miss 2 and Miss 4 loved looking for the treasure!

Headed over this side of town for a caching mission. No one around so an enjoyable fine. Took tb. Tftc

Hey Hey!!! A FTF - well for this year anyway. I didn't have a lot of time, and there were plenty of likely spots, but luckily saw something a bit wierd and there it was. Cheers

Visiting from the UK to spend Christmas with my daughters family. Today we were looking for a cache to leave a friends trackable in. After a short search it was the Dad of Sherbetweb that found the cache. Thanks to Templeton Brownies for placing this cache. TFTC.

In Christchurch on a work visit. I had a bit of spare time to myself today so headed off to find some caches.

Many thanks to the Brownies for setting up these caches - although I did have mixed results in my searches.

This one was nicely hidden but quickly found. TFTC, Biggles.

A clever cache.
Thank you.

7479. A good find. Didn't even take the GPS out of the car! Thanks for the cache. Rodney and Iris.

A nice cache to find while scoping out fishing spots

TFTC

Yay first cash of the day!! SOOOOO HYPE

Thanks, Templeton brownies! I used to be a brownie, then a guide, ranger , ranger leader and a Duke of Edinburgh advisor. Great to see you having a go at this. Thank you!

very nice box. loved. great hide, very basic and classic cache. loving it

Found it,
GPS (iPhone) was about 4m out but found in the junction of a tree/branch, well hidden

Whenever we are in Christchurch, or passing through, we stop off at the Cookie Time factory to buy bags of broken cookies. After visiting the factory we decided to look for nearby caches and this was one of the closest. It didn't take too long to spot the container after checking a few possible hiding locations. We have found quite a few of these containers and it was good to see the selection of swaps inside. Thanks for the cache TBrownies.

#13133. Our first TB (Templeton Brownies) find of the evening, and my favourite hide of the four (nice placement and covering, and good coords). Thanks for the series (giving this one a Favourite Point on behalf of the series).

StreetWalker and I set off after dinner to find some caches in Templeton. We had cached out this area a few months back, but there were now 4 new TBrownies' caches to find.
This was the first stop, and all was quiet on this chilly Friday evening. It didn't take long for StreetWalker to find the cache, nicely nestled in this secluded wee corner of the park. Well done, Templeton Brownies. TFTC.

It was pretty tricky but found

Another cool find. We started to have problems with our APP- but fortunately, we were able to use geo-sense to complete the tast. Thanks

Glad no Honeybees around today. Found with Warfi on a grey wet day. Well done for hiding some caches.

Hi templeton brownies thankyou for a great hide. We have enjoyed finding the caches you have hidden.

Hi Templeton Brownies., thank you placing this cache. I think this was a tricky hide. I am glad you didn't hide it in the flax bushes. I hate flax bush hides. Off now to find some more of your caches. Signed BaldEd

TFTC. Plan to go and look for a few newish Brownie caches. Nice wander in the park to GZ.
Thanks to the Templeton Brownies for placing this cache for others to enjoy.

Daughter twisted my arm, and I decided to ditch work for the day and go caching with her instead! Unfortunately I could not disappear for the whole day, as there was a night class to be taught, but we had an amazing day and found heaps of caches before I had to head back. I climbed under so many hedges that even halfway through class, I was removing vegetation from myself. Still better than when I brought a spider into the yoga room and cause a small upheaval... One of the funniest experiences of the day? When I managed to climb out of the hedge well before the muggle walked past, but I was sitting there on the ground by the path, with an open semi-ripe plastic tomato, pretending like it was just another day Thank you to all the CO's for the placements!!

Planned to go out with mum for a whole bunch of caching for the day - try clear out a bit of the south side of town to help with the kind of sky high goal of getting my caches within 80km of home down to within 1 pocket query - required about 231 more finds as of this morning, but looks like the final find count for today was 53!! And that was over the course of about 7 hours. So made a bit of a dent in that number!! Good to clear the map and some more of the solved & unfound puzzles out!

After clearing almost all of old Tai Tap Rd out, mum & I had some solved and unfound caches on the list between us that were semi nearby, so we decided to make a dent in them, finding other caches in the area while we were at it - but letting the solved & unfound dictate our route!!

These 4 new caches were so close together, and sounded like a good thing to do after finding a puzzle in Templeton! All were pretty quickly and easily spotted - thanks heaps!

Consec caching day # 1408

TFTC!!

Took a bit of looking. We really pleased that the cache was not in the flax!!

A lovely day for a drive into the countryside and for lunch and a cache or 15. A nice birthday present for me!!!

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

What a lovely park and an excellent hide. I put some swaps in and took one of yours. TFTC

It was very dark in there and quite spooky, so it was quite hard to see. We looked and looked and there it was slightly disguised. Thank you for a fun cache. What a big park.

Monday Mad Mission was postponed by a day as I had non caching duties to perform last night. So it was a Tuesday Terrestrial Tirade with TG. We headed out in this blustery evening with stars blazing and by the time we headed home some 4.5 hours later and some 180km+ later it was overcast, smokey and drizzly. Ah Spring, I think tomorrow they are forecasting snow! Good times were had and mental faculties were stimulated and rejuvenated. Plus a fair few caches under my belt as TG had found the bulk of tonight's finds.
In the area, quick walk and find.

Thanks for the cache TBrownies.

Yay I found it. Well actually JDScout found it. This was just one of 2 finds out this way today. Thanks for the series.

I found it with my wife on Fathers Day.

Found just as two of the neighbours dogs starting barking at me... Got away just in time. Took TB. TFTC (3153)

Nice easy find on a great day out. TFTH

**FTF**
If I'd spotted these earlier I would have detoured on the way in to work...as it was; morning tea adventure was good enough. Lovely sunny morning. After being a suspicious dude and DNFing the cache at Royden Drive I popped around here. Nice big reserve! My delay at Royden gave the young mum with pushchair that I had said Hi to at Trip Trap a chance to walk her way around to this reserve....oh dear....ah oh - I think I got the 'weirdo' tag?! LOL....ooooh well. She parked up on a seat halfway along in the sun to do motherly things and I snuck in the end and sat in the shade....and ducked in for a quick find and sign. Nice one! Thanks for the wee series. Most fun.

The young Brownies must be having fun setting up these caches. We managed to find this one out of the 3 listed this morning. Thanks Brownies you are keeping a couple of oldies on their toes. TFTC
