This pool was renamed Madam Rachel, after Madam Rachel, a London cosmetician who claimed "to make the plain pretty, to make beautiful exquisite, and to make the age of golden youth eternal" needless to say she was jailed for fraud. However the name has stuck and many Rachel pools abound today. Do not be tempted by the pool it is boiling!
This spring has been used to supply many baths over the years,early on the Blue Bath and Ward Baths, and now the 'Poly' Pools near by. This is a multi-cache and should be accessed via the formed paths (the longer route) ...
The co-ordinates above will lead you to the decimal part of this:
S 38 08.XYZ
E 176 15.XYZ
To find the cache you need call The Cook Islands less 505, and Ireland plus 216 to get these decimal portions.
S 38 08.XYZ (Cook Is)
E 176 15.XYZ (Ireland)
Which will take you to the cache site ... look for a path starting to your right.
