Rabbit and Macrocarpa (Canterbury) Hillmorton, South Island, New Zealand
By Sandfly tucker on 19-Feb-06. Waypoint GCTEH7

Kaput

Broken again

Unable to find first waypoint is it still there? Thanks

Come to GZ for first waypoint not to find it in what should have been easy. Can this be checked please.

It has taken us a while to get round to doing this one. I dont know why we didnt do it sooner. It was an interesting afternoons walk without any muggles around. TFTC

Been on my close to home list for a while. Did WP1 ages ago, so decide to knock it off today. WP and Final easily found thankfully, felt a bit exposed walking the line from WP2! Thanks for the nice walk on a sunny day.

Nice multi. Fortunately I was tall enough.

Found WPs back in April but not the final.....recent logs suggested I should have another try. Found quickly in a spot I had checked previously (but clearly not hard enough)....Thanks for the fun multi...

TFTC. I started this several months ago, but needed to wait for WP3 to be replaced. Thanks for the repair. I found GZ too be more of a caching guess than a navigated location.

I did the first WPs a few weeks ago but got stumped on the final. Found it today nice and simple. TFTC (#206, 3.03pm)

Started this cache a couple of weeks ago. Found WP1 & WP2 ok, but left instructions for WP3 in the car. I was in a hurry so tried from memory, but got it wrong and wasted more time than it would have taken to go and get my note! Today arrived at WP2 with the instructions and found WP3 easily. Then the batteries ran out. Back to the car for new batteries and then a relatively easy find, (I couldn't find the cache at the final co-ords but spotted the likely hiding place nearby). TFTC.

Now back into life. The Final is now a film canister

Seems I have to fix this every time someone wants to find it. Part 3 and the final both missing

Last cache on our cyclocache tour today. We found the first part 2 years ago as it's not far from home but it has taken this long to get the other details. From virtual WP2, found WP3 but couldn't find the cache. On the list for next time I'm over that way.

Finally after our 3rd visit we can finally sign off for a smilie on this cache. TFTC

Hold everything.... Big booboo

Booboo fixed

Missing bit replaced

There is a bit missing.

We believe we did all the hard work and got to GZ but could not put our hands on the cache.!!

Did WP1 yesterday, found the virtual WP2 today and soon walked the right distance to the 3rd area. Quite a search there. TFTC

This was our first multi were you leave the area.A man and a young lad were playing with a remote car [Shouldn't he be at school ??]We found it to high to get,but Wombles always have something handy in the Cachmobile,like a camp chair to stand on.The man across the road was underneath his car,so he didn't notice us.Then off we went to the next Waypoint.Been here before hunting another cache.Found the next one easily and also the third.Didn't see any Rabbits in the Warren today.TFTCaches

Liked the idea of a virtual in the middle of a hunt.TFTC.

Didn't see any rabbits, they were probably staying out of the rain TNLN, TFTC

Loved this cache.
I don't know why no one finds it1

Needed muggle-ish Marks help to get the first waypoint. We had a play on the flying fox then headed home. Finished it off today on the way to the supermarket. A wonderful day for a wander TFTC

Interesting little multi-nice to have finished it off.

This cache was a bonus today because although I had accompanied StreetWalkerNZ when he did the cache ages ago, I couldn't remember where the final was, but do remember the WPs were a stretch, so resigned myself to not even attempting it.
Anyway, was caching in the area when I had an ah-ah moment, and trotted off in the general direction I thought it may be and there it was!
TFTC.

We began this some months ago so it was satisfying to complete it today.
TFTC

Good challenge. All information spot on so found with ease.

Nice run forwards and backwards. One dog owner looked a bit surprised, but found cache after they all left.

Nice little multi,Final cache not too far from home so as it was getting cooler called it a day.TNLNSL

Kids enjoyed both locations, WPs quite a vertical challenge, thank goodness our Super Seeker is lightweight.

The only trouble I had with this multi was the height of the WP's, lucky I am nimble so managed to secure the clues. Not to much trouble at the end.

Found! A couple of nice parks!

Seemed to pick a good time to do this one, it's trying to rain and no muggles anywhere.
TFTC.

This was an enjoyable cache. The muggles walking around and sitting in cars were a challenge at times. Covers quite a distance luckily it was "sort of" on my way home. TFTC

A second find for this cache today it would seem. Not at all on the way home, but thought we would try it. Quite fun, and inventive waypoints. Enjoyed the break in the day. TFTC took diabetes coin. Thanks for this.

Started this cache months ago but ran out of time after the first WP. Finally got round to finishing it. Found it with Sticky the Cat. TNLN. TFTC

Started and finished this one with Expor. Had to dodge some kids flying kites and playing cricket as well as a soccer game. All exactly in our path to WP2. +All black. TFTC

many thanks "ST" for a very enjoyable "multi"
+Geocoin: UNKDXD & -6 clubs

Got a little distracted after getting WP1 and rather than finishing it off stopped at a few others before eventually nailing it. Liked the way WP3 was derived!
Many thanks

That was one wide area game! Quite a tour. Lots of muggles at WP2 & final, but they were quite absorbed in their own form of sport to take any notice of us.
Thanks

#241 (4/4 in a Warren Cres area sweep). Found with Troodles. I was tall enough to get WP1 and WP3 without too much trouble. Liked the instructions to get to WP3; nice multi.

Log book is getting pretty full.

Did this cache today while out caching with my son, we did enjoy this one it really had me thinking at waypoint two,I just didnt read it right, then the penny dropped and it was easy after that little DER moment,cheers and thanks for a neat cache.Bo

Found, but not without great difficulty. Both WPs 1 and 3 were too high to simply be reached, tree climbing was involved. And we are both 5'7". Final cache, however, was an easy find.

TNLNSL.

A good afternoon for a wander / drive around the place. WP1 was a bit out, but expanded the search area and found it quickly. A good use of gps for the next lot of questions, WP3 was very well hidden. It didn't take long to find the cache thanks, it looks in good condition - not quite the sistema I was looking for TNLN Thanks.

Is there any possibility "a little higher than I'd like" means completely out of reach to the non-bicycled? Could not find a danged thing at WP1 indication, and couldn't see how anything could possibly be hidden there except well and truly out of reach.

Got it this time!
I failed to find wpt2 a few months ago. This time I took along my compass for more accuracy. I had searched in the right spot last time, but missed it because it was well hidden. The cache was an easy find.
TFTC!

Enjoyable cache. A huge park we hadn't found before.
+ rat & 6 of clubs

Great walk. Ironic that I parked within a few metres of the find. I did find that my co-ordinates at the first waypoint indicated a spot of interest a few metres from where it should have been.Thankyou.

#150 yay! This was easier than I expected, found the cache in the second 'place' I looked, after waiting for jogging muggles to vacate the area. TF a fun 150th cache.

Did a bit of a round of the wpts and final, all well.

Did a bit of driving and walking around to get this cache during a lazy afternoon caching. Luckily, the final cache ended up being very close to where I parked my car Cheers Gav [1067]

Went out this evening after B made it into town. It has been sitting near the top of our list for awhile so was nice to finally do it. Found all waypoints and final cache with no probs. TNLN Cheers!

839 I'm not quite sure what the name of this cache means but it was fun to do. Did the first part on my way over to Iambic Intrigue (more about that later) and the latter part after Nicely Native. I spent a while searching for the cache under the wrong tree even though the GPS pointed to the right place. Sometimes, the obvious is not correct. TNLN DS8300

There was a big party happening near GZ, so we had to be sneaky. A pleasant chase on a rainy afternoon. Thanks.

Finally found it,had found waypoint one ages ago and never got around to finishing this geocache.Went out with HelloMrs last week and we just couldn't find the 2nd waypoint.On our way home today we stopped off and the waypoint was in the spot I had already searched but because of my height (short)got a taller person to search as well.Today went straight for it and it was easily found and I could just reach.Last week got side tracked by the ball that was in the same spot.After that the cache was a piece of cake.

Was not expecting to be this way again so soon. Decided to give it another go as owner had confirmed all was in place. Found WP exactly where the ball had been found on our last visit. The cache was easy to find after that although my GPS was way off GZ which was not surprising as it had been all day.

Quite a long walk for our elderly friends (91 & 87), and all easy to find (one a bit hard for some to get). TFTC

Found WP1 & WP2 ok but where oh where was the final cache. Three of us could not find it in the most likely places although we did find a small ball where we think the cache might have been.

hello

a easy find.
my gps at the first way point,
was pointing me to the wrong hiding place.
so i just tryed the next likely one, and there it was.

the 3rd wp, well people playing rughby,
sort off.
but i just went up to the spot and reached in.
and there it was.
they never noticed.

a park i had never been to before.
nice spot.
but far to many people walking there dogs.

Now that the website has caught up, I can drop off the 2006 kiwi geocoin to the cache page.

Enjoyed this one (not quite expecting the distance between stages). Used a projection which worked out well.

This one has been nearby my house for months and I have just never got round to it. I also learnt a valuable lesson. Object have more than one side... (Sigh)

Thanks Sallies for the hint.

Thanks

100th cache and 9th birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was here with Bushblys TFTC TNLN

Nice to see this up and running again. Understand the name now. Out with our very own Claw of the Forest and the BushBlys on a 7 cache raid. TFTC TNLN

GOOD CACH AROUND THE RABBIT WARREN

Lots of muggles , dogs & kids playing football.

Back in business with a new cache, a black plastic jar, and the waypoints have been weighted with lead to ensure they dont blow away. All co-ordinates and placements are the same.

Had a quick check today and found WPT 3 missing. It will be replaced in about 15 minutes.

This is a bit odd, as I went out to replace wpt 3 I stopped in to check the cache and it was gone as well. I will replace it soon

Wpt 1 replaced with a camo film container, weighted so it wont blow out of the tree.

Linelye was correct wpt 1 is missing. I will replace it soon

Read details, logs and hint carefully. Couldn't find WP1 even when we cast our net quite wide.

The trek from WP2 to WP3 was a bit hard due to dozens of Beckham muggles, thank goodness for the compass and some intuitive searching. The cache itself was easily found. TNLN

Brilliant little cache and so close to home. Thanks Samdfly Tucker. No swaps.
Conton

After heavy snowfall on Monday we delayed finishing this one until today. A beautiful afternoon for a stroll in the park. Saw the remains of some rather big snowmen that ,ust have been built when the snow stopped.
TNLN

Walking home from "I think that I shall never see" we decided to have a go at this one. Found canister for WP1 on ground at base of tree without its lid but with clue intact. Discovered it would be easier to continue if we had wheels so walked on home to complete another day. Did pop back to replace old canister with a lidded one.

A walk in the park. Very enjoyable cache. For a change, no prob's finding WPs or cache. No swaps. cheers.

Had a little trouble with the 1st waypoint but read previous logs and widened my search. Breezy day for a walk in the park to the final cache. Easy find, as the greenery left by Bitsprayer was a bit of a giveaway. (I have changed it to a better camo colour )TNLN. Thanks Sandfly Tucker. Nice to see a new "player" on the scene. Cheers.

Nice wee cache found without any problems.

Cheers Bitsprayer

A nice way to start off a days Caching.
TNLN.

WP1 was definitely out a bit - I zeroed closer to the location closer to the playground ( where it wasn't )
WP2 - groundhog day!!!
WP3 - container was very open, so I buried it a bit more.
The cache coords were all over the place. I first looked in front of the seat - but then realised it must be behind - due to the 'other' clue. A process of elimination finally netted it. TNLN.
A nice bit of variety, Thanks.

went out on my bike prepared to spend some time on this, but too many muggles at the playground.
Will try another day.

Well, I just didn't search wide enough for the first WP - but got it next time after some prompting by Sandfly Tucker. The rest was easy enough. But today, the wind swept across that open area, and made me tighten my parka hood. At least I got there between showers.
No swaps, thanks and cheers from Grandalf.

It was only as we walked back to the car that we worked out how this became a 4 part multi - that had us puzzled for a while. Arriving at WP3 we found Bucko Boys there before us so we joined forces as we tried to get our bearings and track down the clue. It took a bit of searching but persistence paid off and we all set out for the final cache. There were muggles close by so stealth was called for as Rodney stretched out his hand and clasped the prize. Luckily there was a seat nearby so we could all sit down to log our finds and have a good chat as well.
Thanks for a good walk-out.
Iris & Rodney [1033]

Not absorbing all of the instructions, necessitated a return visit from somewhere between WP2 & WP3, to WP1 to reread. Oh - don't be in such a hurry!!!!!
Knowing just what to do, we were at WP3 when the Sallies arrived.
Another good chat was had after Rodney retrieved the cache and we signed the log book.
Thanks for the interesting cache.
