Spent some time looking for it, but with no luck here. Better luck next time.

Not many people about so had a pretty good look but no luck.

Failed to find, but there were many muggles about at the time, so sadly, we couldn't have a good search for the cache. We think that we know where, but perhaps onm another trip . Thanks anyway for the cache.

Had a good search around all the places the hint suggested it would involve, but no luck at all. Is it still there? Or do my contacts need improving?

Gentle little drive/stroll. Kept looking up.
Thanks

Out on a beautiful Sunday afternoon to introduce my brother and sister-in-law to geocaching. First one of the afternoon and the GPS took us straight to it.

No problem. Our GPS put us a few metres out but the clue made it easy. Thanks

11:30am. The first of our week caching in Chch. A nice easy find to start with.

Gps led us astray initially. Greatest challenge returning everything inside the cache.

A quick find once we figured GPS was trying to lead us in the wrong direction.

I'm late logging this but finally found it. Can't believe we searched so hard and missed it.

10:00 am - Easy peasy. Parked right by it. In and out in minutes. TFTC.

10:00 am - Cache 16 of 18 for the weekend. As we pulled up I knew where it would be. Tucked it back nicely. TFTC.

Found this one really easy, as it had rolled out of it's hidey hole. A quick log and replacement as the rain was bitterly cold. Propped back in with a few twigs to prevent future rolling at the wrong time. Thanks

Cache replaced for the second time.
Cheers

I searched for this one first but couldn't find it. Then called in BaldEd who was with me to assist (as he had already done it) and said that it has been muggled.
Nice area anyway.

[:o] we thought we just realy sucked lol we were looking 4 like 2hr 1 day then like 1hr another its nice to no that it wasnt there lol

Here with Mrs Mac. too many muggles around, came back later, searched hard but couldn't find it. Is it missing?

Nice easy find in pleasant area. GPS took us straight there.

An easy find as the GPS took us straight to it. No muggles in sight

Nice One!!!!!! Easy find, as the GPS was spot on. Unique hiding spot. Pouring with rain,so we had no trouble with muggles. TNLN Thanks

Out and about with Flatrabbit again. Very crafty hiding place, had to walk around the Domain a bit till the muggles departed, and the GPS was pointing to the wrong tree for a start, but we got there.

Thanks,

ST.

Second time lucky for this one. Thanks.

Found it right where it belonged. One of 20 for the day on my last day in NZ. Thanks.

Easy find. No-one much around at the time

Quick find with no-one around to notice. TNLN

Excellent hiding place. Found it straight off. Good one!
TNLN, obviously!!

Second find for the day,easy with clue. found and replaced just before a huge wave of people came to some function.

Used the clue to minimise the hunt time - as there was a large group of kids playing cricket nearby.
It was very well hidden - I'd had a quick look there before looking at the clue! TNLN, Thanks.

Dad the park to our selfs today.. did nor to long to find..


Many Thanks Bitsprayer

First cache of the day and an easy start. There were a few muggles at the nearby playground, but not close enough to be a problem. No exchange made. Cheers Gav [557]

Nice easy find, no one around today.

Cool little cache - thanks for the find! First one for a while.

Too many muggles to look for cache first time so came back later and found easily. Brought some travel bugs for a visit.

I arrived here for Master's soccer game, but I'm the only one here. Alas 'twas cancelled. But, what's this a blip not even 100m away. No probs finding and no Muggles.
Mordor&Andre

My wife is the best at spotting just were the caches could be hidden (even from a distance). And with everyone being so interested in the nearby rugby game - I could move in and out of the cache location with ease.

Another lovely morning for caching. Wandered in to make the easy find - and no muggles in sight at all. Cute hiding place.

Used the clue since it was dark, I didn't have a torch and there were several cars very close by. Those rubgy playing owners of the cars might have been the "ask questions later" type.

We drove in, and I was thinking about finding a park, then I figured I'd just drive until I got as close as possible. Well - in the end the GPS was saying 1m to go at the parking spot! "Drive-in cache"! - I love it! I was about to start climbing when my better half spotted it. Thanks

Lots of muggles around, accurate coords.

After a leisurely childless breakfast across the road (thanks to Grandparents), we dropped in for a quick find. Thanks again.

ABOUT TIME WE STARTED CACHING AGAIN!! WAS PLEASED THAT i FOUND IT RATHER THAN THE MASCULINE HALF!

An easy find on a nice Sunday morning. There weren't very many people about, but the seagulls were looking a bit suspicious. The cache was left well hidden. Thanks conton

Had a look at Key to learning, but there were way too many Muggles around, so came into town.
Just a footy team training here - I can handle that number of Muggles.

Found this while the footy club were having their BBQ. Had to use the car headlights in order to see the cache. Great hiding place Conton.
Thanks for the cache.

2nd cache find on today's cycle caching odessey. Surprisingly no muggles around. All that is left to do now is bike into the headwind until I reach the mothership at Russley.

Went looking about 8pm. A couple of muggles we had to watch a bit, but they were not too interested in us...This is our 2nd cache, and we learned an important geocaching lesson, look at the difficulty rating!! We were looking everywhere but the obvious. Great fun thanks for the cache!

What a good cache in a great sporting park that we had never ventured into before! There were people everywhere but noone took any notice of us!
Thanks Conton
Iris & Rodney

2nd to find!!!, thought I saw ridders leaving as I arrived, went there this morning but there was a dog control van parked right at the spot, grrrrrr, had to come back later , just to get beaten !!!! oh well, great spot here in the weekends, thanks guys, Mat and Rachael
Matd

FTF in log book. The park was quiet when we arrived. Only a couple of muggles playing tennis nearby and a couple of folks walking dogs and maybe one geocacher. Knocked off work 15 minutes early which was just as well for us but not for Matd, sorry mate that you had to abort a search earlier. Thanks for the new cache.
