Very Handy Toilet Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand
By flanell11 on 22-May-18. Waypoint GC7Q3G8

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 flanell11

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. 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.

The joys of the young. Mr 15yrs seen this cache & wanted it it wasn't till we had searched for abit when he then saw how many DNF it has

No luck today

Yeah, tried the obvious and whilst it was a nice little hidey spot, it came up blank. Cheers

I am sure we found the hiding place but the cupboard was bare.....
Will watch this one.

After 3 visits I found it. Some tutoring from kama reprint. The hint is accurate. Thanks

Awesome, thanks!

Container , logbook ... Going next...

With some extra help from one previous cacher...
Smart hide...

Found with some help. TFTC.

Down in Christchurch for a few days to visit my elderly mother and I'm able to pick up a few caches at times. Today my muggle hubbie and I went for a walk up Victoria Park for the exercise (oh and for a few caches!!) and we stopped here to pick this one up. Good spot, TFTC

Gave it a quick search before moving on toward "lunch". Hadn't recorded the clue so wasted most of my time in the wrong area.

Very nice thanks.

Bit of a hunt for us to find but got there in the end! Great cache, thanks!

A fairly quick find after reading some previous logs to give us confidence. A favourite from us for a nicely concealed cache. TFTC

What a clever hide
TFTC

Took a wee while. Had to step back and think and really, only one option remained in the end, after a sistamatic search. So braved it and, yup, there was the cache. Neat hide. TFTC

Used the facilities just not seeing it today

Out for the morning with two grandchildren, Stella and Zach, geocaching in the St Martins area. This was our second find of the trip - a quick find by Zach. A clever hide, as we expected. Thanks for the cache. Rodney and Iris.

Spent over 20 mins looking couldn’t find anything on the wall but pipes feel like a nob looking at all the piping

Thanks. First one of the day

Back in action !!!! Will update difficulty and such a bit laterZ same location, different hint. But pretty much in the same place

Replacement in progress

As per previous log, construction has taken place on this toilet and it looks like the cache is gone. If hint was correct, a repaint and new piping may be the reason this cache is gone

Fenced off and repainted. Has it gone because of this work

Is ounder construction, hope it is ok, that we make a foto log? We start our NZ holiday in Christchurch. Between a sight seeing tour we took some caches. This is one of them. Tftc!

28 February 2019 4:42 PM. Needed 7 more caches in Feburary to qualify for a N.I. challenge I am working on. Have come to the other side of town to have more unfound traditionals available and therefore make it easier on myself. Was very handy and facilities made use of after cache was found. Almost there...6/7 done TFTC flanell11

An interesting cache not seen one like this before and we struggled to grab it initially but got there in the end.Found by Graemey (UK) and richbritty on an evening of caching.TFTC-Nice Hide.

Couldn’t see it then could get it then got it then replaced with new log paper as none in there. Tftc

Found it. Tftc

Cute! Log is gone though

Nice quick find. Log paper is full. Tftc

Handy indeed after a day's caching! TFTC

Nice easy find with the kids out biking. Finally cache #1000. Took a long time to make it, about 10 years.

It was a bright idea!

Great find in bright sun..... no log and forgot to grab some paper for the just encase ones. Miss 9 left something in it. TFTC

Daughter and I desperate for toilet. So lucky find this one. No pen. Thanks. A real fav.

Very cool container. Nice find on a lovely day tftc

Found pretty quickly, and (lucky I have small hands) quickly extracted, while I was searching for the log a group of women walkers came to use the toilets. Log not found but I did take a picture of the cache before escaping which I can show the CO if required. Tftc!

Up to Christchurch to support the kids who are doing the Ultra Crater Rim Race. I was trying to extract this and at the same time keep and eye out for the runners. Luckily my son and I spotted each other so after signing and replacing a hoofed it to see him in the distance finishing the race.

Went for a walk after dinner. Haven't swapped any books for a bit.

On this side of town today on a bit of a secret mission so decided to have a short detour to find a couple of cache. No problems locating this cache today. Thanks for the cache.

The cache was a quick find. I was going to hide a cache a couple of years ago nearby at the book fridge but I was too close to a puzzle final.

To keep up with my personal challenge of achieving a minimum of 10 caches finds per day I needed to find 2.caches today. A viewing of my unfound caches in Christchurch revealed that I should be able to easily achieve my task by first visiting Supernanny's event cache in St Martins followed by a trad just up the road.

After a convival meetng with some of the local 'regulars' over a coffee, Supernanny & I headed up the road and SN soon located the cache. It took us a few moments to fashion a tool and extract the cache. Hope we didn't raise too many eyebrows from the passersby. That complete's my 2 cache target for the day. Time to head back home. TFTC flannell11

Staying with Rellies at Wilson's Rd.
Pleased to see some new local caches since I was down in April for a 21st!
After my Event at Fava Cafe I was lucky enough to get a lift with BaldEd to this cache!
Unexpected container!
Required a natural TOTT!
Cheers!

#16111. After a tougher than expected walk in the hills, we were after a couple of caches on the way home. The cache was soon spotted, and with the aid of a natural tool (presumably the one left by BE and SN) we soon had the cache in hand. Nicely done! TFTC.

Found with StreetWalker after a walk on the Port Hills. After attending the event in St Martins this morning, we needed to walk off our calorific breakfast, it was a bit more challenging than expected, so it was good to get an easy drive by afterwards.
It was drizzling a little so all was quiet at GZ. Cache quickly located by SW (while my GPSr was taking me to a different spot). But how to retrieve? Aah, just the thing was located nearby and soon we were signing the log book. Great use of an object that would otherwise have been thrown out. TFTC.

Very handy toilet indeed, in quite a random spot. A quick find here and loved the cache container! We also discovered a cool community fridge library in the bus stop down on the corner on Centaurus where we borrowed a book. Tftc!

Very handy. TFTC.

It took a few minutes to extract the container,but having small fingers helped.Thanks for the Pit Stop.TFTH

Unique hide

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.

Still needed a few more caches before heading home so I decided to do a quick detour to grab this one. It was dark so I did not make use of the facilities though it is always useful knowing where some are when out for a big day caching.

Very quick find, hard to write on, I tried to hide it better than I found it. Thanks for the cache.

TFTC!

Out for a bike ride. Needed a cache for today and grabbed this one as I went past. Very handy. Thanks to all cache owners for taking the time to place and maintain your caches. Team Broadbent aka TB aka BJ25. Find # 1741

Way home from work = a quick sneaky caching stop with mum on the way!
Not exactly on the way, but we still detoured round here - the stop was handy in more ways than one

TFTC!!

A handy stop on the way home! TFTC!

At least one more find as it would be otherwise a success rate below 50%.. But with this cache we could do 2 tasks at once - one of them not really worth to mention. But for both tasks it was a relief. TFTC

A little behind in the logging, but was on a caching adventure with a group of Westies: rebel98, rustynz and gorby.

Thanks for the hides, another caching adventure

With a group of Westies, made the detour to this cache, loved the hide, very sneaky.

Thanks flanell11 for the hide, and bringing us here

Rustynz, Rebel98 and myself Gorby are Westies from Auckland. We regularly head away on cheap flights to here and there, this time we have flown to Christchurch for a another 3 day adventure of fun and caching.

Me and rusty have just done a big walk and were in need of 'relief', this handy spot proved very handy! Rebel and Ivss_xx wait for us in the car. Looking at this cache and I'm wondering how it hasn't been muggled yet! I guess people are too busy relieving themselves....

Log later

A nice quick find. Tftc

Very handy indeed! Unaware of this loo, and one day, I shall need to know about it I'm sure! my pen was unhappy with the paper so the log is a bit messy. TFTH

Nice new hide. Tftc

Very handy toilet and a very handy cache when you don't want to go ages away from home in the evening to get the daily cache fix
Nice touch with the container, thematic for the time of day I came.

TFTC!

A good excuse to come and see the progress on a friend's house being built just behind the loos on Rapaki Rd. Thanks for the cache. A good container for hiding a cache. #2850

Such a great quick easy find in the dark after a port hills mtb night ride. Fantastic

Today is a low number calendar day. A good excuse to find a few geocaches. This was the first and the last find today. I had 2 dnfs and need to be at work soon.

Thanks. flanell11 for putting in the effort to hide this geocache. This was find 5842 for me.

A very handy cache - after a DNF and a did not attempt (due to construction fences) I was in need of a cache I knew was still there to keep my streak going. Thankfully this fit the bill and was close to home. Found between showers.

Find # 3290

Now this was a strange little placement, but when we got there it wasn't strange at all!!! And it was quite popular so we had to just keep our distance at times. A nice little bit of recycling too. Thanks. Enjoyed the chase.

TFTC. A speedy find as I drove to visit a family member living near by.
How had I missed the public loo?
Thanks flanell11 for the cool container

A quick and easy find. Yes a very handy toilet, have needed this place on occaision, during my biking days. Thanks

Thanks to the CO's for placing and maintaining these caches. Cheers.

Nice to have another new cache in our side of town. Quickly found and signed as '2S'. Clever hide.

Out on a Friday Finding Frenzy with TG and we were coming home from a FTF and make a quick stop for the new cache. Thanks for pointind out these dunnies!

Thanks for the cache flanell11.

Out and about in the evening on a FTF mission with TheWanglers. Heading home flush with success we stopped by for a quick find and sign - nice one!

Gunning for my first FTF, but alas, beaten by 20 mins. Should have left my pj’s on and just rushed out the door. Tftc

FTF at 8.30 am and was lucky to be out this way for my first job. This is handy to know about and I took advantage of them whilst I was here. It seem quiet a random location for these facilities. I had a little trouble getting my pen to right on the paper but got there. TFTH

Out on our daily bike ride. TFTC

Very handy especially on a cold day. An easy find. TFTC

Thanks for this cache, flanell11.
A cold day, but quite sunny & sheltered here. Good to be out & about.
