Troll Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand

I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

Hi nacnud78

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Regards

Definitely not there

Definitely not in place today. I checked it out as our church walking group started its walk right here! Avalanche Pass trackable accompanied me in my search.

Highly unlikely this one would ever last past any flood events - she’s a goner

Should have looked at the previous logs before coming. No luck for me either

???????

Trolled around and even used my phone camera as a height adjuster to look on top of things. With the run of DNFs now it looks like it might have been confused with the Trolls toll box and spirited away.

Found nothing here

No log

Not even a lid now

Nothing to find

Could not even find the lid

Not really a find as found lid on the ground. Some much needed TLC is needed here.

Great hint but still only the lid remains

Found lid only

Terrible hint...no help

All that is left from this cache... Muggled?

TFTC anyway.

Found only the lid. Great spot for a cache though. TFTC #120

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

As per previous finder, only the lid remains TFTC. #625

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Sadly only found the lid

Girls' Brigade girls had fun cracking the code and enjoyed the wee rhyme - great find!

Thanks creator. Great hint

Me and my friend found it straight away!

Troll still asleep- close call though whitebaiters out today.

Hard to reach but fun to find.

Nice hiding spot took a while and not muggle free hard find but good fun

Very fun. We love this one. Thanks! My mum nearly fell in.

A quick grab on the travels around this part of town, glad the river wasn't up. Cheers

Found with the heathcote x hunters and racing rhinos i was too short to reach it though- isla

Easy find on a sunny day on a new bike!

Thanks for a quick find. No troll or billy goats in sight but lots of traffic above. TFTC

Good hint

Good clues!

This was pretty hard to find if you look up next to the pipe on your left you might see it on the pipe

Quick find. TFTC

Quick and easy find although the co-ords are abit out

TFTC . The coordinates are slight off.

Great cache! Make sure you don’t get wet!

#3,246: Dirty Water Smiley!
What to do while waiting for your new tyres to be installed? Take a walk and find some nearby caches! Stopped by here on the walk, and made the find. Reached up to make the find. All good. Muddy waters nearby.
SL/TFTC!!

????????

I found it

Not too muddy.

Out geocaching with David (Nodo) and Poppa (Sallies). Zach.

Bit hard to find but got it after a few minutes.
Thank you. David.

At first we were deterred by the mud about here and some workers nearby clearing the river, but fortunately the hint led us right to it without mess or much trouble. TFTC!

We bussed to Beckenham and started our afternoon caching leisurely ambling along the Heathcote to end with a stiff climb up Huntsbury Hill before taking the steep walking path down to the bus home. Here we were pleasantly surprised to find the sneaky spy trackable which appeared here unannounced! TFTC

Nicely hidden, missed on the first pass. Milestone cache #12,000 TFTC

On a big Geocachinground to get my 999th Cache, I was searching this Cache.
I`m lucky, but just want to warn you. The last days weren`t quite rainy, but the water was almost so high I couldn`t reach the Cache. So you need to be at rainy days tall or need to go into the water
TFTC

A nice easy find. Tftc

A quick find and very happy that the feet remained dry while retrieving the cache. Tftc.

Came from the wrong end, but managed to find it without too much problems. TFTC

Out for an afternoon stroll with a friend, walking the dog and picking up a few caches. TFTC

This is my first nz cache thanks

Quick find on a Friday afternoon, thanks. The morning's heavy rain had left a large puddle, only just managed to avoid getting my feet wet

Another nice quick find out on this day after a big storm but wet under foot but still manage to keep dry and reach to the case didn't disturb any trolls so I'm the find and put it on back.

Quick find today as I was driving by. Nice to see a friendly face as I was walking back to my car, at least I was only spotted by another cacher, Tftc!

Found this evening. Tried to do it earlier but the water was too high. Tftc

Nice easy find out for a walk with kids.

Easy find but good fun. Tftc

First stop on today's cyclocache ride from Opawa to Halswell and back. Nice to start off with a quick find. TFTC.

Troll, check.
River, check.
Dead hooker, not to be seen.

This one was way down my planned list for today but here I was obviously off route but another ticked off. TFTC # 11,742

Cricket was rained off so went caching. Cleaned up some caches close to home.

Out doing some last minute caches before Christmas TFTC

A nice wee walk along the river and the cache was a quick find.

Sorry Troll for waking you.

Out for a walk and some caching. This cache was a quick find. TFTC.

Nice warm evening - don't want to read or work on the computer = bike ride = cache find = Thanks

In Christchurch for the weekend with my partner and while she is doing a 2 day course I came up with her as it isvthe perfect time to log lots of caches and try to log 2000 before next year. TFTC

7716. A quick find while waiting for our church walking group to start. This was our starting and finishing point today! Thanks. Rodney and Iris.

Nice one!

TFTC. What to do when you have to wait for takeaway dinner?? So annoying, yeah right!! Perfect time for a quick cache.
I love trolls.
Thanks for placing this X he for others to enjoy.

Luckily, this troll doesn't like to get his feet wet and I was able to find it maintaining dry fet as well.

The nearby whitebaiter didn't notice me slip down the bank to find and sign the cache. Glad it was where it was and not 2m further away. Bit wet and muddy there to say the least! Thanks for placing this cache.

Luckily for me, this was in the first place I investigated !
Quite watery nearby, but I managed fine .
Thanks for placement !
First find on my day of holiday caching !

TFTC. Bit muddy, but no troubles.

Like other Cachers we also have scrambled down the otherside of the Riverbank for a Cache,but this side was much more easier.But how do little Wombles get a Cache like this..Well..where there's a will there's always a way..and we found a way to retrieve it and put back..TFTH

A quick find when I decided where I needed to be. Cheers.

Found on a lovely Sunday afternoon drive around Christchurch.

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

Dark morning but not raining. Work calls but not before a walk with the poochand a little geocacching. Tftc

Easy find while in this area. Thanks nacnud78 for the cache.

Today is a calendar day, and I wanted to find 5 caches but with family coming for lunch, had to squeeze in the finds later in the afternoon. No great hardship, as it meant that conditions had dried out a bit by then.
As we pulled up to GZ, it looked familiar, so sure I have found a cache here in the past, but on the other side of the river. This cache was easier to access, too Nice hiding place. TFTC.

GLB1719 TFTC (3804)

Had found a cache very close by a few years ago (got FTF on it I believe) so I knew what I should be looking for. On this side of town today, so couldn't resist in making the find. Thanks for the cache.

Last find of two today. I didn't spot any trolls or muggles. Now to go do the groceries. Ugg

Thanks. nacnud78 for putting in the effort to hide this geocache. This was find 4934 for me.

#14279. Troll-type caches can involve a bit of muddy grovelling, but there was plenty of room under this bridge, and the cache was quickly found. TFTC.

After finding a few caches during the day and feeding the troupes, we still had the go and decided to head out for a few more local ones! Much easier without muggles around! TFTC!!

Very late logging ... Found with Mporokosa. TFTC.

IMum and I wanted to go find some quick and easy caches near her place after dinner - so we left hubby & my brother at her place, with the baby, and went off to see if we could find a few before we were missed.

We ended up with 5 finds over about 45 minutes - not too shabby, esp given I've already found most the caches in town!!

A pretty easy one - but goo d thing mum was with as I wouldn't have been able to reach!!

TFTC!!

Found quickly. Nice dry cache and logbook. TFTC.

Cool little spot! I think the trolls were hiding from the cold today...
