Geocache Description:

Located at Otaihanga Domain. Accessible from both Waikanae & Paraparaumu - just walk over the bridge if necessary.


Go to the co-ordinates above, this is your first waypoint. It is a monument with some writing on it. Using this writing, you will have to decipher the co-ordinates as follows.

The monument has a name on its plaque (a dedication). This name consists of three words. The middle word is in brackets.

Use this key:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M
0/9/0 9 1 7 5/4 8 3 4 6 0 2 7 4

N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
2 8 3 5 4/7/7 7 1 5/6 6 4 8 0 3

(the second time a letter is used, the next number after the forward slash (/) is used. For example, the first time R is used, it is 4, however the second time it is used, it is 7)

The first word of the full name is the South Co-ord's e.g. if the word was PLUNGER the South Co-ord's would be
S: 37º52.354

And the first letter of the word in brackets PLUS the last word in full is the Eastern Co-ord's. So, if the word in brackets was BANANA and the last word was DIGITAL, the combined would be BDIGITAL. Decipher as you did with the southern Co-ord's.

These co-ord's will lead you directly to the cache, which is roughly 500m from this waypoint.

The cache is a painted grey bucket that is clearly marked.




Logging Etiquette:
As a geocache owner I have put a great deal of thought and effort in placing this cache. As a geocache finder, you have made an effort to join in with geocaching, you have made an effort to go out of your way to find the cache, so please make an effort into logging your find. Cache owners do not welcome single words, acronyms, or "copy and paste" logs as they don't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
