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 a prior reviewer note.

Hi Kiwi864

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.

Regards

As noted above we did still have a look but couldn’t find anyway. There are lots of trees knocked over so wondering if it’s been misplaced?

And same from us….. nowhere to be seen

Felling has occurred

not there anymore!

We didn't try too hard tbh but Forest gas been logged and guessing it may longer be here.

I wasn't able to find this one. This whole section of forest has been cut down recently so I'm not sure if the cache is still there.

Nice quick find. TFTC.

Caching with Little Horrible and found a nice big container for a change and we've signed all the Log Books as 'Little Wombles' for this series..TFTH

Cool

Nice find ... With a little help from a fantail... Cheers

Good find by M B

Nicely hidden and found in good order. Good to have this place to myself today. Thanks Kiwi864.

Out walking with the kids. Nice cache. Tftc

Out with the kids on a hot, northwest day. Found all 10 caches in this area so a good haul.

My phone finally went flat on me, so had to rely on Partner in Caching's phone for this one.....Found it rather easily....TFTC

Nice cache

In 1996 I was in early days of school and had no idea of what rock music was yet

Found on a dog walk.
Pretty sure somebody once said there can never be enough pinecones to disguise a cache

Kia ora! Paldies!

Found with Mporokosa. TFTC

We came over to the forest after spending a night at The Willows. I appreciate the info in the description about dogs as we have our geomutts with us and wanted to find a place to walk with them. Only a few horse riders here and there on this pleasant day. Found this cache with ease. TFTC.

Love these small containers.

Great find with Demainiac TFTC

Another great find with lolliequeen

Enjoying our walk on such a beautiful winter's day. GPS took us right to it

Struggled with phone GPS in the trees but found it after a bit of hunting. Tftc

Just a short walk on a warm winters day.

Three caches for the day & 4 bags of pine cones.TFTC

Out walking with family and various animals today. Didn't know where we'd end up & had not expected to be caching so didn't have a pen with me to sign the log. Will email photo of log to CO in lieu of signing log. TFTC

Hello, my TB is dropped in this cache but it hasn't moved since 19-03-2020.
Can someone who logs this cache please let me know if the TB809BW is still in it?
Thank you very much and have a good day!

Thanks for the hide

Found it, tftc

Found while out caching at McLeans Island with Kiwimykl, refer to his log for details.

TFTC Kiwi864

Found with NZDi. We were down here in Canterbury for the third time since September for follow-up treatment on NZDi's ongoing health issues. The specialist appointment was yesterday and after some big city retail therapy this morning, we allocated some time for a bit of geocaching this afternoon.

We chose the McLeans Island horse riding area as it had a good looking circuit which would not tax NZDi too much. Funnily enough the only horse we saw was being put into it's float at the end of a ride. Other than ourselves, the predominant users of the track appeared to be women walking their dogs or pushing their babies in buggies, and in a couple of case doing both.

This was our ninth find of the afternoon and was a QEF for NZDi. Another themed song I hate to admit I am unfamiliar with as I like Pearl Jam's music. However another regular size cache, so another opportunity to divest myself of one of the TBs we've been carrying around for far too long.

Logs were signed with the date and our caching names in full where the space allowed or the date and KM & ND where space was limited.

Lovely day to get out & about - TFTC

Don't leave rubbish or you'll anger the centaurs

Good find

Nice quick find on the last day of our school holidays, tftc

After a lot of driving, doing some cache maintenance, I needed to go for a walk. To keep my exercise streek going.. Thanks Kiwi864 for placing this geocache it is find 8138 for me.

Sadly there was no large event in New Zealand in 2019 but there are a few Mega events planned in Australia. New Zealand will have another large event in 2020 in Auckland. 
======== NZ Mega 2020 ========
Planning for the NZ Mega 2020 event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, 23 to 26 October 2020. Thanks for hiding this geocache.

Cheers guys taken alittle longer on this 1 but found in the end!!

GPS led us around a bit for this one and when we finally found it got a bit of a fright, lol.
4th find on our quest for 24 caches in 24hrs.
TFTC

Yay, found a trackable, didn't realise it was a challenge one until I got home and started logging things - Challenge accepted.
So, GPS had us on a bit of a merry-go-round initial but back-tracking I soon found the cache. Got a bit of a fright when I opened the cache though - Big bugs!!! Lol TFTC
No. 4 in our 24 caches in 24hrs.

Cheers

Found on New Years' Day with Trifolia Argentea. Thanks for the cache!

Quickly found on a New Year's Day caching walk in West Melton Forest with Ilmari_the_Red. We had a TB which wants to visit caches beginning with _I,_ so left it here. TFTC!

Happy 2020. TFTC.

Another quick find, TFTC Kiwi864.

Today I was at McLeans island, mainly because there are a series of dog walk friendly caches here and my main job while here is keeping my sister’s dog with me at all times.
So Jed the reluctant geo-terrier was along for the ride, and I think he appreciated the flat nature of the terrain today. It took us almost 2 hours to saunter through the caches in the area by which time my other sister gave me a call, on cue, and my priorities for the day changed.
But a very successful walk, in that all caches were found and in good condition, so thanks all COs, especially Kiwi864.

This took longer than it should have to find. Submitted via Garmin Live Geocaching

Found it- beware of the creepy crawlers!!! TFTC

I took my bike for a ride in this forest area mid-afternoon with the hope of picking up at least six caches. As it turned out, I located 15 of the 16 I looked for. This one took a couple of minutes. I was barking up the wrong tree (so to speak) initially.

#2908. Thanks, Kiwi864, for all these caches. It’s a great setting here, providing a very enjoyable and rewarding outing!

Another quick find. Thanks.

Big spider!!

found on the bike
thanks

Onwards, nice under the shade from the sun above. Cheers

I needed 3 cache finds today for a calendar challenge I have set myself, so decided another trip to the McLeans Island area was in order, to find some caches that StreetWalkerNZ has found on a solo visit.
I'm pleased SW accompanied me because the Oregon struggled here. It was pointing 40m to the left of the track while SW headed into the trees on the opposite side . Well, I'd better follow him, then. After investigating a location that didn't harbour the cache, I read the notes that he had made about the hide, and backtracked a little towards the track. I spotted a flash of a gecko disappearing into hole - obviously it was one of the cache guardians as the cache was found here . A nice big container, should have brought the TB I picked up yesterday.

TFTC

Tftc. Another easy find

??

Great day in Christchruch Area grabbing a few caches, started out wet, but day was not to bad in the end.Thanks Bitsprayer

Nice hide TFTC

Found it, nice spider

Nice cache. Cool spider. Tftc

Great hide, the huge spider guarding the cache was a bit scary!

A lovely day to be out looking for caches with busy paws. Have had lot's of fun in this area and another first for us. Nice big cache, log signed. Thanks for this cache Kiwi864.

Found as per hint, Coconuts3 and I having a really successful day caching here. Cache is dry and in good condition. TFTH

This took a bit of hunting but found eventually. TFTC

A quick find, very quiet today, TFTC

Sunday afternoon walk. Thanks for the hide.

I took the bike around the forest to grab some caches out this way. Mostly straightforward finds and no DNF. Good fun. Weather building for a storm.
Thanks to all cache owners for taking the time to place and maintain your caches. Team Broadbent (signed TB on micros). Find # 2126

We went out here again with mum - slowly chugging away at these caches around here on the days I need more caches on my calendar.
So today we returned, and found a whole bunch more. Along with my mum & my 2 year old.

Thanks for the fun!


TFTC!!

Back to collect a few more in the area and enjoy a nice walk on a sunny afternoon! TFTC!!

Nice quick find TFTC. #680

Had been far too long since I had a full day of caching, so contacted Mr Cuddly Brick and sorted ourselves out for a day on the bikes.

Thanks for the cache

#16837. Took a couple of goes to locate the right set of roots. TFTC.

To continue with my personal challenge of having found a minimum of 10 caches for every day of the year I needed to find 8 caches today to bring my total finds for the 27th February up to 10 caches.

After finding one cache during a tramp near Lake Coleridge earlier in the day I knew that with a cyclocache ride later in the day in the West Melton Forest I should be able to complete my caching task. So after returning back home from the tramp and having a quick dinner I headed out to the forest with my bike. The helmet light was needed to locate this cache. Thanks for this cache series Kiwi864.

3rd cache of the day out with gonghi. TFTC

Nice large cache container, quick find; TFTC

Another great find

TFTC another nice find on our walk around the forest

I added a few small toys and wish that I had my other bag with me as it had my larger swaps in it

For my personal challenge of working towards getting my calendar on GC.COM to be at least the same shade of green or darker I need to sign off at least 11 caches today for the fourth day in a row. I won't grumble if I find one or two more. I decided to have a rest from the Ahhh! Fresh Breath caches and have a 9 km bike ride in amongst some pine trees.

Cheers for the cache.

#3,384: Forest Smiley 3!
I was looking for a place to collect some caches before the end of the year, and this beautiful area fit the bill. I knew rain was on the way, so I came prepared. I had a very nice ride around, and found all the nicely hidden caches. All in good shape!
SL/TFTC!!

Good find

Back in Christchurch for a day or two work type things. I had a coupke of hours free this morning so went for a walk in the forest to find some caches. It was a very enjoyable trail with a nice mix of containers and hides. Another good sized cache here. TFTC, Biggles.

Went for a ride around the McLeans tracks with Shannonp1. We decided to go for a wander and look for a few recent caches. Thanks for the effort that goes into placing and maintaining these caches.

Went for a ride around McLeans with Surveybase. Decided to go for a walk around the West Melton forest to clean up a few recently released caches. Not a sole around today, (should have taken the pushbike). TFTC.

Quick find.

Time for a short morning stroll - and this series of caches looked perfect for it. Quick find here, TFTC

Few hours to kill while waiting to pick up my muggle nephew from the airport... Took a while to locate but got it eventually tftc

Nice big cache for storing loot. A quick find but oh I wish I'd brought a bag for the great big cones lying around here. Thanks for the hide. #3352
