Please send me a link to the cache in question, or at least provide its GC number, so I will know which cache you are writing about.

Will need to decide what to do about this one...

One of the pitfalls of paperless caching is that you can miss very recent logs. We can also confirm the cache and the tree are no longer there.

Passed this one with sez&jon this afternoon whilst doing another multicache in the area. The tree had been cut down recently (there was chainsaw swarf still lying around although the area had been cleared) and there was no sign of the cache. Sez&jon had found it previously and knew where to look, so we could confirm that it was no longer where it should have been. This one should be checked out.

Nice easy one to start the day off TFTF

Reasonably quick find. TNLN TFTH

A quick find as the weather was getting colder in the late afternoon

Quick Find and 1 of 3 found successfully on a bright, geocaching day. #181 for me and quick log and were off! TFTH. ClownyCacher

quick find. a bit of rubbish in the street here. TFTC! TNLNSL. cheers, kiwicachers

the first find of the day with tardischick and gsvnofixedabode. Tardischick was on the money and found this in a short time.
Tnln. Thanks!

#456 (7/7 on a SE Chch day). Reception not great, but not too hard to find. All quiet on the neighbouring house front. TFTC.

We had just found McCombs, so decided we'd have a pleasant stroll by the river to find this one as well.
Reception wasn't great and there had obviously been recent caching activity, covering a large area, so was pleased when StreetWalkerNZ came up trumps. Area around GZ not terrain 1, though!
TFTC.

TNLN Cheers

Nice Little Walkway

TB -

nice quick find, noone to spy on us at 3am all sound asleep. TFTH, dropped in a TB

Somehow had wrong coords loaded in GPS so had a longer than needed walk. Yukky, rubbish everywhere but cache was safe. TFTC

Found it just from the coordinates given by a fellow cacher met earlier in the day. Quite pleased with ourselves for finding it quickly without needing clues or reading previous logs Thanks Warbut, and TFTC

Couldn't look for this one as the nearby house had muggles in the window and they were all looking at me - didn't help that 5 minutes erlier I had inadvertly followed my gps down their driveway on my bike - oooppps. Found the right entrance to walkway but didn't want to push my luck with a search.

About time I got this off my list.
Nice easy find, the nearby houses keep you on edge.
TNLN,
TFTC

Found on way home by bike. Added a bit more camouflage as it was a little visible.

A bit of a damp walk but an enthusiastic one for Stretch0 as this was his #300th find !!! You sure get to see a lot of walkways with geocaching thanks for the cache took nothing left nothing

Nice little walk along the river and rewarded with #300 find Thanks for the cache

A nice and quick find. There were no muggles in the sight when the cache was found. It was very pleasant walking along the river from the bridge. Thanks for the cache.

Easy find with Wilson#41. Nice quiet afternoon.
TNLN

Nice easy find with Kwaka40. Our first weekend away caching together!
The river was a bit murky today.
TFTC!

The river looked lovely. It was high tide. Easy find. Took car left smilie badge. TFTC

6 pm - 2nd cache of out evening out (we are so lucky with the weather at the moment). TFTC TNLN SL

Finally got this one done. Had it on our list so long we had deleted it from the GPS.

TFTC

Second cache of the day and we have a TB. Went to the wrong side of the river at first. Didn't fancy doing a swim across, so back tracked, went round the block. -elastigirl TB +$2

This was only 120 mtr from motel we stayed in.
up for the Bon Jovi concert.
Early morning find. what a disgusting river, I know it comes from an estuary but the amount of rubbish floating past disgusting.
Was intending on doing more caches but lost the enjoyment with the amount of Tagging, vandalism, and burn outs all over the place.

A quick find without falling into the river.
+ Elastigirl TB and elephant
- Sunshine Geocoin and Forever Friends TB
TFTC - The Royal 3

Quick find as cache was exposed.

Replaced with extra cover.

In: Atlanta girls Team Sunshine Geocoin.
For Ever friends TB

T4TC.

Parked nearby for a quick visit. The cache location is nicely hidden from the neighbouring houses. SL. TFTC.

Also logging in and out our England Geocoin.

nice cool shady trees on a VERY hot day. TFTC TNLN

tried to come in from the wrong side at first, need a topo map. Walked back around, slight drizzle, which added to the fun, found cache, was squatting down signing logbook when a jogger jogged past, probally wonder what I was doing.

TFTC and the fun!

Started this walk off on the wrong side of the river, so got twice the walk, for half the price! Used this location to launch Jnr B's first TB.

A nice hide, I wouldn't want to be in that part of the city after dark though, cheers.

Yes a bit exposed so had to be quick
-coin

Pretty public spot. I assume no one was about.

Moving finds from my alter ego

Dropped off coin

FOund

Walked around the area a few times but we got it in the end, takes a good set of eyes!!

The find was easy the muggles were not easy.

Very easy Find. Only one wierd guy hanging round with a beer and a golf club. Quite a dodgy area.

The people next door were all outside...After hanging around the tree looking into the river for about 10 minutes, I decided to call it quits....another time maybe.....

Easy find, wet weather so the nearby has had fogged up windows. Unfortunately also meant I got soaked, but at least muggles weren't an issue.
TFTC

Quick find of a good hide. Couldn't see anyone home next door, good thing.
TNLN, many thanks.

Down in Chch on business.. I took a lunch break and came here as the nearest cache to client.
Easy enough find once the GPSr settled on a particular tree.!!!
Signed the log and left calling card.
TFTC #361

Quick find in a spot with a cool breeze. Only a duck to come and say hello, no one home behind. TNLN Thanks.

An easy find with Scott(3), William(5), Tiffany and Stuart.

No sign of muggles at home, but a few other track users around.

Cache in good condition.

TFTC!

Like Lyttletonwitch, I started on the wrong side of the river.
An easy find but very close to muggles habitat.
Cheers

--(2007-02-13, 16:12:45)---
A quick find. The muggles left their home as we were in the middle of logging. The baby muggle proceeded to home in on us. Nevermind. Mission completed. Not quite sure why this hiding spot was chosen. We passed what seemed to be a multitude of secluded locations along our walk.

An easy find. Muggles must have been out. Nice spot!

walked around the river.

Moving finds from my alter ego

Easy enough find-watching those muggles watching TV in their unit across the way
TFTC

Was on the wrong side of the river at first.Found the cache fairly quickly once I had figured not to go the muddy way.Then had to wait for the people in the house to disappear before re-surfacing.They gave me a huge fright when they opened and then closed their garage door.

Had to dodge the drunks still celebrating from last night. Thought the cache site was quite close to the neighbours and felt a bit exposed. TFTC

A nice quick find. Nice spot
Cheers
TNLN

Nice easy find, thanks. No swaps.

A couple of trips through here today
Cheers KiwiLegend et al - M@

Quick and easy finf here today.
18th of 85

cat's are getting good at this thx satchmo cat

Found this cach today,not really a great spot unless your a secret spy or something,as there were people wondering all around the house well within veiw,so it took a while until the coast was clear,cheers and thanks,

We were on the wrong side of the river to begin with, but once we corrected that , the cache find was no problem. TNLN Thanks

Luckily when I got to GZ a noticed the local muggle child peering out the window, he watched me for a while then lost interest. The cache was quickly retreived, taken down the track, log and swaps made then a check to make sure no eyes were watching and the cache was replaced. TFTC

8:20pm, #17 of day 4 of our week in Chch (that's 65 to date). A bit of waiting for the large front window to be vacated and then in behind the tree and out!

We were out looking for Bollards and Bridges when this one came up on my GPS as the closest WP when we were heading back to our car. Without any info to guide us found the cache in record time. Took a coin and left some ballast (stone)

Do you live in the house with the large window looking straight at the tree which the cache must be behind. If not why not go 100m ether way or across the river to place your cache .Just gave up even tring to find this just to puplic.

Went for a late afernoon walk to get out of the house. A nice sunny day but still cold, took some nice shots. Didnt take too long to find the cache which was good as the grass was still wet. The cache is in good condition, took nothing, left nothing.

Easy find this afternoon, but very hard to be discreet, with a muggles front window look straight at us... but then realised those cats on the window sill were not alive - just statues. Grabbed the TB Red Musican for a trip north. Thanks for bringing us here.

Out tonight with Nodo.
Have left the Kokopelli TB
Rodney

A bit tricky in the dark with the houses so close. Still an easy find.
Thanks
NODO

Tricky to do without being watched. Had to make a stealth grab and restash. Easy find, though. Took coin as it does look good. We will have to find it a fun new home.TFTC. Linleye.

Had to pretend I was going to look at the river as there were watchers around. Easy find. Took the geocoin as it looks great, even though it isn't trackable. TFTC.

The river Avon looks somewhat different here. Not so clean and inviting as in the centre of the city. At this time of the day no muggles – except a cat which was watching us. TFTC. No Trade
Albatross1901 and Florian from Germany

An easy find with little sign of the locals ( other than ducks that is )
TNLNSL T4TC

Very tricky people saying goodbye... so we walked past and then got it.

Thanks Ryrager & Amethyst

Dropped in the Greenman Geocoin, as we were doing Bollards and Bridges. Sorry, but this coin isn't trackable, but it is kind of cool looking.

Easy find in an odd spot.

Nice day for a bike ride, was on wrong side of river to start but got there in the end. Cheers.

Nice hide.
Simple but clever.

Nice One!!!!!! Easy find. Had to be VERY VERY discreet as the neighbours would have wondered what idiots would be in the area on such a rainy afternoon. In the end no problem. TNLN Thanks

Found on my second attempt, the river wasn't quite so high this time. Only slid in the mud once! TNLN

Second nice and easy one, which made my day. Only went looking for two and found both. Cheers KiwiLegend and crew!!
TNLN

Easy find.
TNLN

easy walk and find - thanks

nice walk along the river and good find -thanks

I had to avoid work crew in the area as well as neighbors eyes. One of 20 for the day on my last day in NZ. Thanks.

Found the cache under cover of darkness due to muggles. Took out hair scrunchie - put in fridge magnet taken from Stairway to Heaven (BOP).

Quick find for this one, and no curtain twitching in evidence (too early?). All these walking tracks by the rivers in Christchurch are brilliant - lucky people!
Cheers,

We must have been one of the few people who went to the right side of the river first - it just looked more likely. Found easily. - purse, + hairclip.

Like a lot of others found it this morning after first going to the wrong side of the river. I soon realized it with the arrow pointing 30 metres across the river.
Don't think I saw any curtains twitching. TNLN
Hatas

Hmmm been past here before doing a cache, quick find..

Cheers Bitsprayer

Found quickley, once we were on the right side of the river.
No exchange made.
Thanks, Greg Tiff Jordan & Akiko.

Parked at the wrong spot, and had a long walk, but got there eventually. Took nothing, left nothing.

Found it! Started looking on the wrong side of the river and realised we were in the wrong place.

Thanks for the find. We initially looked on the wrong side of the river as we don't have a gps

easy find
