Geocache Description:

Welcome to The University of Groundspeak

The University of Groundspeak is offering a new degree here in Auckland!
A BSc in Geocaching!
A BSc in Geocaching will equip you for the world of caching out there.


Points: 15
Prerequisites: Geocaching 250
Credit: Climbing = 90% Final Cache = 10%
Equipment Required: GPSr, a pen/pencil, and possibly some climbing equipment.

This course is the follow on from Geocaching 250, but unlike its prerequisite, is a much harder course. You may attempt this course without all the climbing equipment extra, (I placed it without) but if you forget to take a pen, you may end up regretting it.
This course is definitely not one where you wish to hurry. Slow and steady wins the race here, and manages to get down without any harm. Be aware of the caution needed! A signed safety waiver is a must!
Please do not take down the cache. Keep it as is tied to the tree.
Course advice is to spot the cache from ground level (V pocket rocket, tied with string) and then plan your route of attack.
Good Luck!



And if you are doing these courses as part of your degree, as oppose to general interest, make sure to note the code in the lid of the container, to be able to gain entry into the final course!
If you have logged this, or any other cache in the series as found, prior to the 12th January 2012, you can either return to the cache to collect the number, or email the CO with the caches you have found, requesting the numbers.
