Found it ages ago but I didn't log my visit Smile
 
28-Apr-08
This cache seems to have finished its life. It has gone missing twice now and has been muggled in between so we have decided to archive it.
 
26-Apr-08
Hmmm... the obvious place was empty. Had a quick look elsewhere, no luck.
 
26-Apr-08
We are pretty sure it isn't there.
This was our number 9 for the day and our first DNF.
You probably need to check it out Twisted
 
13-Apr-08
A quick find as it was a little exposed PB covered it better. Gorgeously sunny day and all quite on a Sunday, so a rather nice spot to sit..... if we'd had time! But a couple more caches call before the homeward journey.
+ polar bear - nil
 
06-Apr-08
A lovely sunday morning for caching had to wait for muggle with well behaved pair of dogs to exit before replacing took nothing left giraffe thanks for the cache

Very scenic cache, went with One-Fang. TFTC
 
13-Jan-08
Found it with visiting geofriend Tio Bobby. Excited to see "replacement cache" in the log, thought it was a FTF, guess it's just the book. Oh well, we are first to write in it!
 
11-Jan-08
Found the cache but was in view, and full of water. Log book and all contents soaking wet. Put it back in place and hid it better. Have not written in log because of this, but will log find on this site. Needs maintenance
 
11-Jan-08
Shame about not being able to write log (see note). Lovely walk tho'
 
11-Jan-08
Went out tonight and replaced the log book and wiped the cache out.

Checked up on the cache this evening and it did appear to be missing. However we had a new container with us so it has been replaced and is there now waiting to be found!
 
02-Dec-07
Went for a walk, and checked on it. Looks like rambullers might be right, cause no sign of it despite having previously found it easily.
 
27-Nov-07
Had a real hunt and used the clue, but no success. Think the cache might have been Muggled, but it was a nice place to strecth our legs after driving/caching all day. Thanks.
 
09-Sep-07

and put a Travel bug in your stash!

14-Jul-07
Cache is perfectly in place and in good condition!

We brought a handful of Travel Bugs and coins back with us after a short trip south so we have been out today placing them in some of our nearby caches.

+ CITO (Signal) Geocoin

In the country from the states for a wedding. Hunted this cache with wife, kids, and brother-in-law (Bear-Bait). We looked and looked and couldn't find it. Pretty sure it's been muggled. We decrypted the clue, found what we think was the spot. It looked like there had been a cache there--even found a moved log that looks like it was used for concealment and found a toy nearby lying by itself. You may want to check to make sure this cache hasn't been raided.
 
24-Jun-07
Found easily the second time round. Much easier in the day.
 
20-May-07
Quick find on dusk

A quick find. TNLN

Enjoyed watching the blue heron nearby before approaching the cache. Groaned at first, due to my initial thought of where the cache might be. Grateful that it was not in that spot, but an easier find. Thanks
 
22-Apr-07
A very quick find. Some nice views to be had from here. We were assisted by a very friendly cat as we were here.
TNLN, TFTC.
 
08-Apr-07
A quick find on my way home from some other caches.
TFTC!

Found by Mrs ST. we did note the council are trimming the trees at the other end, it might be a good idea to keep an eye on this cache incase the works compromise it.
Thanks sallies,

After making a birthday lunch for my partner's mother's birthday, we took a quick wander to this lovely park. Found the cache relatively easily Smile

Took: Geocoin
Left: Nothing (sorry, was a spontaneous cache!)

TFTC though - my partner, a local who was dragged up in 'them there 'ills' was not familiar with the area!

Found with no problems. Left a really cool geocoin "Tiki's Spinny" which traveled here from Hawaii.
Neat park, will have to visit again.

2nd look for this one, GPS put me in the middle of the estary. Had to use the clue to find the correct place. S43' 33.463 E172' 43.691 puts you right on the Cache.
Cheers

A quick find at dusk.No swaps
 
15-Jul-06
7:25pm, #17 of day 6 of our week in Chch (that's 102 to date). Found fairly quickly in the dark. Lots of noise coming from a house on the hill.
 
13-Jul-06
A beautiful sunny winters day was just begging for a picnic lunch and a spot of cache hunting. Found this one very quickly driving past. Took TB and left a (boule)marble.
 
10-Jul-06
My first find. Just 200 meters from my house! Can even see the site from our living room.
 
20-Jun-06
Easy find, I parked here and walked a big circuit up the hill and around bays doing 4 geocaches in the rain. Nice and dry here under the tree. Dropped off Keywi Travel Bug here (586351)
 
11-Jun-06
Our 3.5-year-old boy selected a blue balloon from this cache. We left something in return. Nice bench.

NB: cache initially found by harvless, now known as KiwiHarvs. Old log deleted and this one substituted.

Lovely spot, dropped off a Travel Bug.

Nice spot when the tide is in. Cheers, TNLN
 
23-Feb-06
My heart sank as we pulled in here and I saw a 10 ton (OK maybe it was only 6 ton) digger sitting close by and signs of major landscaping going on. But the cache is doing OK and it proved an easy find.

Thanks nice cache. Did this with my mum and dad and my friend Liam.
 
27-Jan-06
Popped in to get this one on our way home from Taylors Mistake. They are digging a HUGE ditch nearby. Hope it doesn't spoil the site. TNLN. TFTC - a lovely view point.
 
12-Jan-06
Decided to take a drive out to sumner & found cache on the way.
 
03-Jan-06
Thankyou for this. My second find yesterday. An easy one with a nice view but was buffeted by the NW wind. TNLN. This was #38. Hatas
 
02-Jan-06
cheers for the cache. TNLN.
 
10-Dec-05
Checked this out as part of an early morning bike ride. Did nine of our caches in two hours. Not many muggles around at this time on a Saturday morning!! Everything okay still.
 
Quick and easy find. Caching our way through NZ and stopped off to grab this one. Visiting from Richfield, Utah. Thanks for the fun! Bean Stompers
 
06-Nov-05
Kiwisean and Dyl tracked this one down - right next to where Dyl plays soccer
 
06-Nov-05
good little cache thanks
 
24-Oct-05
Really good spot. No one around...or at least not very close, anyway.
TNLN
 
28-Sep-05
Heading out to Sumner for a work job - and realised the closeness of this Cache (and smoko time). Easy find - although the cold wind wasn't friendly.
TNLN
 
26-Sep-05
Dang, double dang,..ahh donkey butter! Found the right spot, confirmed with a quick check of the clue, but a couple of muggles were dug in at Ground Zero having their lunch and weren't going to be moving for some time. Sad We'll have to leave this one for another time
Cheers,
G.
 
10-Sep-05
A great day for a walk in the park -- this time I was looking strait at it but the boss found it -- we had lunch while people were sitting on the bench, they took awhile to leave. no swaps
 
05-Jul-05
Found when I decided to look where the clue said, not where I (incorrectly) remembered it saying to look... Could have been quicker! TNLN Thanks
 
05-Jul-05
Beautiful view by night! TNLN, Jane
 
04-Jun-05
veay wet today,nice spot
 
14-May-05
There is a great spot to sit here and a great clue that accompanies it. I have played soccer for Bays United for many years. This park is one of our home grounds along with Barnett Park. Bays United is now the biggest soccer club in ChCh. Nio swaps. Cheers Sallies.
 
04-Apr-05
Nice easy find - I went "petanque" right to it. One still has to be careful of muggles and their dogs that come rushing around the bushes to discover you down on your knees in the shrubbery!! Such embarrassment!! View is OK - but the Estuary can smell a bit ripe at times. No swaps.
 
01-Mar-05
Nice easy find. TNLN.
 
20-Feb-05
Called in on the way back from another Sallies multicache. GPS was right on - I love it when that happens Smile
 
14-Feb-05
Very quick find, using a bit of guesswork more so than the GPS. Went at tea time on a wet evening and the place was deserted. A bit stinky. TNLN.
 
13-Feb-05
Found it, no one around today, which made things a little easier. Thanks.
 
03-Feb-05
last of the day
nil trade
 
08-Jan-05
Another day, another cache. They were all starting to blur together after two weeks of caching in NZ. JM found it first again.
 
08-Jan-05
A nice little spot with lots of people fishing nearby. The gps was taking us to a spot in the middle of the bare grass so needed to use some intuition to find this one. TNLN.
 
04-Jan-05
Another pleasant Christchurch park. This one was found without difficulty. Took marble and left Antelope
Thanks for the cache.

04-Jan-05
The first of 3 Sallies today!!
Quick easy find - Big buckoboy and buckomama enjoyed the view while the small buckoboys enjoyed a run around on the expansive park.
+ Shiny marboule & Thunderbird character
- balloon & yellow citroen
 
03-Jan-05
Popped by on our way home, needed the clue though as my eTrex was having troubles locking in. TNLN.
 
03-Jan-05
Our easliest Sallies cache to date! Phew. Thank goodness after some of the Sallies caches we have attempted and found today!
No swaps as we had nothing French.
