Luckily found in the first place I looked; TFTC

Was walking past when I saw this lovely wee corner reserve and thought that this would be a likely spot for a geocache - looked it up and I was apparently on top of it. A nice quick find, tftc

Down in Christchurch for a few days and finding some caches. Great spot here and didn’t take too long thankfully TFTC

Nice one to end my day on Bridle with. And I love this song!

We all get that feeling when we approach GZ and see heaps of rocks. How many hidey holes am I going to have to stick my hand in? Not the case here! Very intuitive hide.

Lovely wee area. I wonder how long the neighboring building has been shuttered.

Nice night for a bike ride TFTC!!

Nice quick find on this cool calm evening

After a bit of a search we found it. TFTC.

A nice quick find by Beeba.

Hot day to be out but quick find

Had to look under a few but in under 5 min I found it. Thanks.

Jumped out of car and grabbed this while LittleTan was waiting but forgot pen so took photo. Tftc.

Quick find and nice location, coming out here with the dogs.

A nice easy find after a couple of failed attempts nearby.

Another lovely spot- the daffodils are out in the area which makes it extra nice
TFTC

Lovely spot, thanks!

Has some spare time with one of the wee wombles at a birthday party nearby. Deserted in the area today. Thanks for the cache.

Cache number 4580

Jeebers...ANOTHER great ChCh day to get some in and keep the numbers ticking over .. Cheers

A lot of choice, if you go by the title. I was just lucky to look in the right place and found it. Thanks for placing. Found with Debsnz.

A lovely quiet park like area with multiple hiding places. Found with Spoonz2

Found it after looking in a couple of wrong spots. TFTC

Quick find tftc

Found it!

level 2 all safe to cache now.

Lockdown. No caching at the current level!

After two DNF in the area, we were happy to put our hand on this one. The log was wet, but still able to write on it. Easy find, thanks for taking us to this nice little place. Not sure if it was a house or a park before the quake, but the landscaping is nicely done.

Warm up hike over the Bridle Path for an upcoming trip to the Ōrongorongo Valley. TFTC and it filled in a gap on my 43 south challenge - bonus!!

Checked the cache, holding out well! Have removed full log.

Came past and stopped for this cache as doing a daily challenge. Read this description and for some reason the song was singing in my head the whole time. Love the hide and awesome front door. A fav from us, such a lovely wee spot. Thanks for this cache busy paws.

Quickly found on a short caching tour of the slopes of the Heathcote Valley. TFTC!

A quick find. Thanks

Took slightly longer than expected TFTC

All good to be found again now that restrictions have been lifted.

Until the viral lockdown is lifted, my geocaches are disabled. Any logs will be deleted. DO NOT Geocache currently.

Thanks

I found this on the way down from finding GCKDAR Morgan’s Valley with NosyNel and Jude_E. We had a great adventure. TFTC.

A nice wee walk on a good day.
Thanks

Had a great day out and about caching in Canterbury, many thanks to all the cache placer's.Thanks Bitsprayer

Found on a caching journey into Mid Canterbury today with Bitsprayer and Erninz. All caches found in good condition. Really enjoyed the challenge and the many hours spent on the puzzles caches to unravel the coordinates. Also great to travel along the many roads in the area. Many thanks to the various cache owners for placing and maintaining their caches. TFTC

GeoFoxy has arrived and staying with me so took her out today for some caches - this was one on our way back home. Had to wait for two muggles to walk past before heading up to get it. Almost had an accident after finding and signing as one of the tiles on the steps was loose and I managed to control myself enough not to face plant.

Oh the evil webs we weave. So many choices. Where do start. Thank you for a fun fund.

Easy find on a muggle-free circuit of Morgans Track. Thanks and cheers from Grandalf(2556)

Just had to find the right one. TFTC

Too nice an afternoon, nearly muggled but lovely spot!

Another clue to the mystery. Nice steps to sit n sign on tftc

Don't know the answer but definitely a nice peaceful place. TFTC

I know this song. I guess ABBA could do no wrong at the time so many of the B sides were gems as well. A quick find once the GPS settled down for me and I worked out which way to walk. Very quiet here. TFTC busy paws.

Another cold and wet day, I had a couple of hours up my sleeve before meeting up with my sister in town so decided on a few caches in Kaiapoi before heading to Ferrymead for a look at some in that general area. No major problems. 13 found for the day, a couple of multis thrown in. Thanks to all COs.

Saw the lid at the very back in the dark with a torch

Easy stop and grab after getting myself lost in the mountains. Tftc from the !

Found after a great day on Quail island

I focused on the wrong side for a while but found eventually after widening search area. Tftc, a nice reserve.

Spotted the colour coming down. Great find with my 8 yr old. Lost our pen - so here is the photo. Thanks

Easy find TFTC

7877. Out geocaching this afternoon with three grandchildren - Reuben (10), Genevieve (7) and Joel (5). We knew where to go as I have geocached in the area before. Genevieve was the lucky one who found it this time. Thanks for the good cache. Rodney.

A quick find and thanks to the previous finder even a logbook. TFTC

Sorry for the late logging. I had a great day driving around by myself finding caches to get the souvineers and work towards my MGSc, but not so much logging each of them. The plan was to find as many of the remaining Fresh Breath caches that I hadn't got the previous Saturday as well as any extras that I went past before heading into Christchurch for this event.

After the event I still wanted to find a few caches before heading home. As I don't get over this side of town I had a look to see what I could find in the dark. I thought this one was perfect as I listened to an Abba cd in the car on the way here. Almost didn't find it but was feeling rather stuborn and had another look and found it.

Thanks for the cache.

Found in the great Wall of Morgan. Log sheet was full so I did the honours by adding a sheet of waterproof paper. Thanks to all cache owners for taking the time to place and maintain your caches. Team Broadbent aka TB (prev known as BJ25). Find # 1755

Nice cache. Love the area. Tftc

TFTC. A new spot for me to cache in. That is one of the reasons I love caching. Such a grand set of steps for this little park.
Thanks buzy paws for placing the cache.

Had a plan to knock off a few caches in the area. Needed to clear the head too. Lovely wee jaunt and knocked off a few.

Thanks for the cache busy paws.
#5506

Easy find, many thanks

Returning from walking the bridal path I picked up a few caches on the way home Tftc!

#15755. We often struggle with rock wall caches, but this one turned out to be easy to spot. TFTC.

Found with StreetWalker on a dismal Saturday afternoon. We both needed some finds for statistical reasons and quite a few caches had popped up in the Heathcote area since our last time here.
I stopped and looked at a few spots while waiting for the numbers to countdown, while SW stopped, reached down and found it in the first place he looked. Doesn't always happen like this with rocky hides. TFTC.

I stopped earlier and was about to go searching when the heavens opened and it poured down, there was no way I was going to get out in that so I drove up the road. I hadn't got far and it stopped so did a couple of other caches and came back. I always seem to have trouble with rock wall caches so I'd expected it to be hard but found it quickly. TFTC busy paws

#7705

A nighttime walk for the dog and myself. Yes, it was a reserve before the quakes, but not that long, as it was put in with the subdivision. TFTC.

Found on a dog walk. There's always that sigh when you near a GZ and see many rocks whilst reading that the hint is something 'rocky' as well
Anyway, this one was found in a jiffy.

I had not heard about the Rock Me song by ABBA though. I would not call it well-known. In fact, according to the music tracking site I use "Rock Me" is in 50th place, sorted by how many times the songs have been played. And I don't think they had more than 90-100 or so songs released in total.

TFTC!

Mum & I decided to have a day out together - and it ended up being a rather productive day!! A whole bunch of caches, some op shopping, some foraging, excellent!

Cache number two. And baby had just fallen asleep - perfect time to try get a whole bunch in! They were luckily all pretty straight forward, and with more wild sweet fennel about also!

Haven't been able to go caching with baby in car in forever as she usually gets upset in the car! So this was a nice change - although she did then scream on the way home! Haha.

TFTC!!

Great day with daughter and granddaughter caching and op-shopping! We managed ti find more we hoped for, which is always a good thing! And we even collected some fennel around gz here. TFTC!!

Thankfully the sun is out and the ground isn't too soggy. Once again I have no paid work. So I decided to go geocaching.
I parked the car near gz and walked along to the geocache. I have never been in this area before.
