Drainage Hole #2 Rolleston, South Island, New Zealand
By Troodles and StreetWalkerNZ on 04-Dec-16. Waypoint GC6XR4K

Unfortunately, the container is no longer watertight, as well as other problems, so have removed the container.
Thanks to the previous finder for the maintenance.

Logbook was completely wet and box full with water. Replaced logbook with new one in plastic zip bag.

Searched & searched but no luck with this one

TFTC like previous logs cache very wet also hard to open even with tool bUT can be done. I do like this cache well thought out

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

In Christchurch with BCD doing an airport dropoff. Time to head back to Geraldine with a stop in Rolleston along the way. Armed with some TOTT soon located cache and with the right tool had log in hand very soon after. Managed to dry log out enough to get name on it but log was totally saturated! TFTC

I think we found where it should be but could not for the life of me undo the screws

Container isn’t waterproof so logbook is wet.

Haha, very good! Can understand the other logs now

The log book is too wet to sign but didn’t have a waterproof log sheet with me to replace it so may some maintenance by the owner.

TFTC.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Very clever, thanks for the cache. Log was wet so didn’t sign. Still well stocked with wee swaps which was nice to see!

The nephew was not too sure if that was the cache, well I hope it was, could not open it, have sent a photo as evidence, gets a fav point from me, tftc Troodles and StreetWalkerNZ

Well, I did actually check the drainage hole the first thing I arrived. And it wasn't īt! A drainage hole is what the outer container needs actually, as it seems to accumulate and hold a bit of water over time.

TFTC!

Make sure you have a screwdriver
Look wee find

A lot of thought has gone into making this cache. Great cache

Heute folgt der erste von 2 Transfertagen. Von Christchurch nach Dunedin, morgen dann nach Te Anau. Viele schöne Orte und einige Dosen konnten gefunden werden.

Greets from Switzerland

Day 2 in Newzealand. Today we drove from Christchurch to Dunedin.
A very beautiful Country with lovely places. We were able to find nice Caches and See Lots of interesting places.
Thank you for showing us this place.

Found it but now to get into it!! Very clever container. We enjoy these ones, had to think about it....TFTC

Good Cache

Found for the second time, nice find across the road from home, log wet, tftc

Had to be brave to open this cache, didn't sign as we forgot a pen but a good find. Tftc

Took a bit to find but realised after we saw, thanks!

Happy New Year! Time to catch up on the last five days' logging.
The container didn't seem to relate to the cache name, but given some of the information in the cache listing it was obvious what was required. Surprisingly wet inside, sadly.

Super

Great container. Managed to improvise a tool to open it. Tftc.

The description didn’t match but it’s intuitive

Heading south for work meetings today. I had time to find a few caches along the way. Hmm. This had me going for a bit. After a short search in the wrong spots I spotted something of interest. But... OK, all clear once I checked the attributes. Hopefully the rental car would have an appropriate TOTT. Yes! Accessed log, signed and returned as found. TFTC, Biggles.

Very clever!!!

Wow! Very cool hide. Took a while to work out because it looked like it was supposed to be where it was. TFTC

We found a number of caches on this trip - thanks to all the hiders for there hides. Trying to get these all logged.

Rather hard to open to be honest

TFTC

What a great container! I suspect a few people are not using the right equipment and the recepticles are getting worse for wear so the lid isn't being closed properly which allows water in. Took it in the car to my site meeting and left on the dash to dry out added a new log and sealed up nice and tight. Thanks for the effort that goes into placing and maintaining the cache.

Yay found it

Great find! TFTC.

Unplanned geocaching mission. Visiting a friend and had a few minutes to kill. Didn't have a replacement log on me. Cool hide. TBs were missing. Tftc

Clever! Nice one!

Quick find, lucky i had what was needed. Unfortunately unsignable as wet.

Found on a nice sunny day. TFTC

Easy find TFTC

Lucky I had a screwdriver!

Loved the cache.
Felt like James Bond with my nailfile lol
Lots of travels bugs. Just took 1.

Dropped off Mrs TW at the Tannery and we had a plan to head to the fancy pancy playground in Rollytown. Had a great play at the new playground and decided to head home a wiggly woggly way via a few caches in Rolleston, Lincoln and Wigram. Stopped by here to revisit. Dropped of a few TBs.

Thanks for the cache Troodles.

Tftc #teamawesome. Log is very wet but love this one!

Found it. Excellent cache. Have a favourite point for this one. Tftc

Love the container was prepared with the right tools to open.

Great one needs little repair though thanks to the co

Great creative hide

Easy find. A few muggles around, but no problem at all. Had the right tool in the car to open the box. TFTC

Couldn't find it had a good look didn't need a tool as it the thing hadn't been put back properly

Thanks to Troodles and StreetWalkerNZ for keeping this cache up and running. This one gets a FP from me. TFTC

The nearby tree has some serious infestation making everything gross and sticky.

Pulled up a family members house and this we 34m away so I had to get it. I like the container just my type of hide. TFTC

Stepped in after theroamingreliever had trouble accessing the cache. Luckily I’m handy on the tools! Tftc

Found it. Again. Great again. Tftc

7713. On our way home from Oamaru Geofest so stopped to find this cache. We had enjoyed the previous incarnation so much. Cache container not in place, in fact it had come totally unstuck!! So may need some attention or it may disappear. Thanks Iris and Rodney

Easy peasy when you have the right tool! I found the exact one I needed at another cache once so it lives in my caching pack now. Thanks for the clever hide!

Caching my way towards Geofest. Having read I needed a tool I wondered and thought I'd see, I was right. Great hide thanks Troodles and StreetWalkerNZ

Second time logging this one thanks for the hide

Gppd quick easy find as we had found it a few years ago so knew exactly what we needed to do. Thanks Troodes

Quick familiar find. GLB1719 TFTC (3829)

Earlier this month (the day of the Canada Event) I gave this cache a miss because I had mistaken the cache for that of a similar, earlier cache that I didn't much like. So, whilst I was heading toward the final of the Rolleston Pump Station cache, I found myself driving past this GZ. Oh hullo, this GZ was not that of the hated location. [B)] So after passing through the STOP sign I pulled over and walked back armed with a helpful tool that I took from cycle toolbag.[^] Thanks for the cache.

Our 1st geocache

1st one found

TFTC. Out with kotukuSI for a little fun after the Canada Day Event.
Sorry for the late logging - catching up.
Thanks StreetwalkerNZ for placing the cache.

found all safe and secure for the second time nice easy find this time on our way to the rent just up the road tftc

Out and about with abxt350 before the local event quick find and retrieve tftc

I like it... I like it. Cheers

2 July 2017 15:04. Had to walk back to car at the event down the road for the tools. Had to use quite a few tools in the kit as attachment a bit knackered from using tools like keys! Still nice cache a favourite from us. TFTC Troodles and StreetWalkerNZ

Second time lucky thanks to a big hint at the event today, nice one

A bit of a grey day but am out celebrating Canada Day. So why not find some geocaches and attend an event with my good friend Bbear44. Luckily I had some tools. A clever hide rounding off an enjoyable afternoon.

Find out more about New Zealand's next big event [Oamaru Geofest](http://oamarugeofest2017.wixsite.com/geocachingevent)

Thanks. Troodles and StreetWalkerNZ for putting in the effort to hide this geocache. This was find 4938 for me.

After attending the nearby event, purdiepurdie & I set off to claim a few caches.
Thanks, Troodles & StreetWalkerNZ, for your efforts with this cache.

Was a very easy find as there were two other geocachers there. Quickly signed the logbook.

JD and I grabbed this one on our way to lunch after the event. Nice work. I love these sort of caches. We signed the log as Jeje. Tftc.

Walked up to this one after being at the nearby event. Found with Nosynel who had a tool that would work. Cheers for the smile.

Very clever hide! Found after the nearby Canada Day event. With Injeanious we signed the log as JeJe to save time and space. TFTC!

#2,775: Sinkhole Smiley!
I came to this one after the Blame Canada! event down the road. As I was looking with GeoYoungling #3, a car pulled up, and I knew it was another cacher. He had gone to get a hint, and knew where to look, so we just piggy backed off of him. Noice one!
SL/TFTC!!

Such an awesome hide, took a while

A great morning caching with daughter! We set off rather early and so had a good taste of the frost. As the day went on, the weather progressively warmed up to comfortable temperatures; however, we did not measure the day in degrees but number of finds instead Thank you to all CO's for keeping us busy!! Very cool cache

On this cold, frosty morning, the stars were aligned perfectly... Husband would look after the baby, and mum and I could go out geocaching for the morning! Wahooooooo!!! Perfect, as I need to get the find rate up, but the baby hates being in the car... not very good for caching at all!!!! So a cold early morning start of waking up at 5.30am in order to find as many as possible before the clock hit 12 noon!

Found the previous edition - with keys - so just did the same trick again

TFTC!!

Had found the original so had the required equipment. Great to see this iconic cache being revived . TFTC

Very clever. TFTC.

Hard one

Good hide. Look for signs of use.

Having shifted to the town of the future and having a day off work to recover from the afore mentioned shifting process. It was time to head out and explore and grab a cache. Saw something suspicious and confirmed quickly. I saw what was needed and had the right tool to complete the find. Signed the log quickly. And replaced fast az. Favorite point from me. A great cache. Thank you for bringing me to this area and for placing and maintaining Drainage Hole #2 geocache, from Mr Cuddly Brick Found on this awesome day the 16 April 2017, sweet cache number # 1689

We found out where it was a couple of months ago but didn't have the necessary tool. This time we had the tool so we were able to get into the cache to sign the log. Thank you for a great hide!

Had the right Tool,and of course we love finding these caches that are a wee bit different..Very clever..
Thanks for the Fun and getting another Smillie..

I'd looked for #1 here last year and although I was pretty certain Id found it didn't have the right gear with me. This time I was prepared and I was soon signing the logbook. Cheers and TFTC

I had a tool that did the trick and made for a nice easy find on a great day out. TFTH

No problems here on round two, the tool is always on the belt. Cheers

This was a fun cache after we had the right tool. A definite favourite. Thanks

Came back again today determined to crack this one- only to realize that I had forgotten to pack the right tool!! So stopped and purchased something- and in a very short space of time- we had it sorted. Great fun- thanks for that.

We never managed to find the original- but today we were pretty sure we discovered it's location- but we lacked the necessary tool to complete the task. (It looked to me, that some people have possibly used less than ideal tools!). We may try to come back with the necessary! good fun

Today was my last dot day so I was saving this one as it is within walking distance of home. As we had visited the previous incarnation os this cache, we knew what we needed to take with us. Thanks for keeping this cache alive. TFTC. Took TB.

We think we found it, will email you a photo to see if you can confirm.

Using my phone as the real GPS is away getting some waterproofing. A wee bit of a challenge, but managed to find the hide all the same.

Quickly found and replaced, especially as I knew what I was looking for.

Cheers and thanks for the hide.

Good

Found it & dropped a trackable in as well

Had done the original of this one so knew exactly what to do and as I had given the original a favourite point I will do the same again. Tftc

Thought I had been here before but it came up on the GPS regarless.....?? And my log isn't here nor is the people's logs of whom I found it with. Oh well we went there anyway and luckily had the right tools on hand to sign the log.
TFTC!

I feel that I've been here before, have I? Good hide though and TFTC
