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.

Another in the brownie series that appears to be gone. Sadly it seems the CO is gone too.

I think the brownies might need to check their caches.

Sorry Brownies no luck here either! Had a good sear h but then a lady came over and asked if we had lost something so we decided it was time to go.. .

Thanks Brownies for the caches Easy finds

Good find. Loved the cache decoration

Jeepers, a hot day with a hot wind blowing from the north west. Only a few places to hide a container around here once the obvious bush was discard so gave it a systemic hunt and there it was. Quite a big container for a small, so easier than I expected. Well done on hiding them around here, the town needed a few more caches. Cheers

TFTC a quick find today

Did not expect this size, but glad to have a decent container. TFTC

Quick find in the the flaxes grrrr

Great work templeton brownies

Have a bit of time on my hands at the moment with the family being away so decided to spend the afternoon ut and about.

I WAS ******* HERE!!

THERE'S SHIT IN IT

A quick find. I teally like the size of it. Thanks.

Nice quiet location
Tftc.

How did it take me so long to find such a big container?! Great cache in my least favourite type of hiding spot! Tftc!

No luck with this. Had to explain to local muggle what we were up to but stil found nothing except dog poo. Don't seem to have much luck in Templeton!

Loved this one

Quick find.

Found nice and quickly. Had to move on quickly as a man was watching us. TFTC.

It was nice to see a B I G Container after all the many wee Micros we've found.TFTH

Found it!! Man was it a treasure trove inside or what thank you for the fun lunch time outing!

No worries. Despite the last log being a DNF this was a QEF.

Had a good look around, retreated to the car and read logs and re read the description.... nope not for me today.... thats for the challenge Templeton Brownies

Yep took awhile nice hide girls - TFTC

Great cache lots of swaps dog loved a walk too

Took longer than it should of, large container! Love it and lots of great swaps ! Awesome cache thanks!!

Another nice location. Tftc

Over this side of town for a caching mission. No neighbours watching so a fun find. Took a tb. 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 took me a little while to find - which is strange as it's a nice big container. Swapped trackables. TFTC, Biggles.

Have been out caching all day in good weather ...... on arrival here it has started to rain big spots! Took longer to find as not where we thought it would be. glad to be back on the car away from the rain and thunder!! Nice sized container. On a 11 day caching trip around the south island. Log signed as b&p.Tftc TBrownies. Find # 3475

Tb drop.

Cool cache!
Really well hidden.
GREAT camoflauge.
TFTC

7481. What a great container! Thanks for the nice and easy cache. We found all but one of the Brownie caches today and will return soon for the one just around the corner (Trip Trap). Rodney and Iris.

Amazing Cache! Really well hidden and great camouflage. lol

3rd cache of the day and by far the hardest.

TFTC

A quick find after work. It was quite nicely hidden despite its size. Well done, Templeton Brownies. I left a ladybird as well. Tftc

Awesome hide, daugther loved all the great stuff. Logged and swapped

We had just done the Honeybee cache and decided that this should be the next cache to do. The container was a lot bigger than expected from the cache details and, despite the great effort made on the camouflage, was quickly spotted in the hiding location. Tried to tuck the cache a little further out of sight and leave it less exposed. TFTC TBrownies.

#13134. Good to find a decent-sized cache. Not sure if the cache was hidden as intended, as it was visible from some way off. TFTC.

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 second find, and it was an easy one - just a wee bit too easy, so I decided not to leave a biggish TB I had in case the cache is muggled. What a nice big cache size - and great decoration too. Think the size of this would be better described as a "regular" not a small, while the Honeybee one would definitely be rated a small (not regular). TFTC.

Found straight away. Thanks for hiding

Decided to make one of the brownie caches today's cache of the day, so I came out here after work, arrived at GZ and starting having a snoop around. Not long after arriving I noticed a man walking his dog approaching, unfortunately I hadn't noticed him quick enough so he was now quite suspicious of me... "What have you lost?" he yelled... luckily, after explaining geocaching he was quite interested, and even helped me look for the cache! Very soon after I had the log signed, and the cache replaced. Had a great chat - a very good outcome . TFTC (3212)

Out and about on a cold grey old day- and we soon discovered this cool cache. Thanks for placing it

Thanks for the awesome cache. Well done for geocaching.

Got it nice large geocache good job

Hi Templeton Brownies., thank you placing this large cache, stacked full of goodies. That would the largest cache I have found for quite a while. I really enjoy finding caches I can easily see. 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 around the park before heading to GZ and finding the cache.
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!!

A nice big cache, easy to spot. Was able to hide pretty well from the houses behind the shrubbery while I signed the log. A good effort, thanks.

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 HUGE cache container, just loved it and really well decorated. Put some swaps in. A Favourite from me. TFTC

Just doing a maintenance on behalf of owner, hidden as should be.

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.
Quick find, what a park.

Thanks for the cache TBrownies.

Really like these large caches, TFTC

Yay I found it. Well actually JDScout found it. This was just one of 2 finds out this way today. The weather was starting to turn so we decided to head home. This was a nice big cache container.

I found it with my wife on Fathers Day.

Nice easy find on a great day out. TFTH

Today I went to grab some bargains from a fruit&veggie shop near Prebbleton and decided that I could make a wee detour to grab this cache. Have never been to this new subdivision before and didn't even know it existed. The cache was a very easy find (hard to miss!), and I was almost sorry that my geodaughter wasn't caching with me, as she would have been very excited about discovering this cache.
TFTC!

Stopped off on a detour to pick up the boys from school. A randomly large park! Nice. Sweet first hide, nice big container. Lovely day for a 'drive by' Cache. Thanks for placing. Cheers.

easy drive in. quite a good size box. like that.....

A nice big cache beside a huge field. Can hide behind the bush which is nice. No one around. Thanks for placing this cache

The Brownies have changed a lot since I was one. All the activities were indoors, knitting Peggy squares, stamp collecting , cleaning shoes and ironing hankies and such like. Hope you all had as much fun hiding the cache as we had finding it. TFTC

We loved finding this cache. That park is huge and we had not been there before;-- and then we found a huge cache!! Yeh!! We love these big ones and it was so well presented, we didn't have to stand on garden and it was lovely and sunny. A fav from us, and looking forward to the others.

FTF
I just had breakfast when I received the publish e-mail this morning. So I decided to get out in the rain and take a look.
It didn't take long to find this huge box (compared to containers in Europe I would say it is more a regular than a small ) with lots of nice toys in it. Then I discovered the logbook and ... yes, it is empty really liked the handwritten style and the butterflys in it.
Thank you for this nice adventure today!

Cache number 152. pipped by half an hour. Got up this morning planning on spending a full day caching but held off by the rain. Checked my emails and saw this published so decided to have a look at metservice. I live on the east side of town so took a small journey but a nice easy cache to find. I only started caching a month ago so it was nice to find a brand new cache that has not suffered from the environment yet. TFTC

Took the dog for a walk found cashe on route
