Geocache Description:

Cache is in the middle of nowhere, along the Old Dunstan Road. Altitude 904m! Terrain and difficulty vary depending on weather conditions, time of year and if you cheat with 4WD!

This cache is about 25km from the end of the seal when coming from either direction. It is well worth the ride up for the ride down into Paerau. We averaged 10kph over this section in reasonable but windy conditions. This might make a good ski mission in winter but please take a shovel

WARNING/S:
Weather here can be *Extreme*. Please research conditions and route before you go for this cache.
Inform others of your plans. Terrain includes steep steep hills and lots of muddy mud. 'Road' is closed for lambing (Aug and Sept).

The cache is a 1L plastic container. It contains a disposable camera, log book and other assorted goodies. Not much room for swaps. Please take a photo of yourselves (or the view!). Please let me know when film is used up, I'll post photos.
