Canterbury Tales (Canterbury) Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

BaldEd: Due to the damage to some of the waypoints caused by the Canterbury Earthquake and that the central city area is now contained within a 'no go' cordon that is expected to last for months I have sadly come to the conclusion that this cache should now be archived.

Geocache Description:

The above coordinate serves only to give a general idea of the whereabouts of this multi-cache. (It is the Garmin South Pacific database coordinate for Christchurch City).

To discover the actual location of the cache you will have to visit many historic sites in the central city area to obtain the coordinate values for the cache, which is located near another historic site.

  • Note 1: The additional waypoints listed below are not in any particular order so you would be wise to plan your route before beginning your search.
  • Note 2: A little bit of simple maths will be required. Take a pen and paper to record your answers.
  • Note 3: Whilst all the historic sites can be visited on foot within a couple of hours a vehicle will be of benefit to help reach the cache location as this is a few kilometres (as a seagull flies) from the central city area.

Cache Location: The 2-litre camo-painted cache location is given in the following formula S43 AB.CDE, E172 FG.HJK
