This cache has been archived.

GenCuster: Visited on 24 May and cache has definitely been taken. Apologies to those who had TB's in the cache. I am archiving this with regret, so as to open the area for another cache to be placed. Feel free to do this...

Cheers, GC.

Geocache Description:

This cache is hidden at Wrights Hill Reserve in Wellington, near the lookout.

You should be able to drive up to the carpark and then walk up to the lookout - either up the steep steps or the long gentle slope walkways. Watch out for MT bikers.

Wonderful views from here on clear days. You can see the Karori Sanctuary, the Brooklyn Windmill, the Hutt Valley, the Cook straight... On foggy days (pretty common in winter)it is very weird closed in feeling!

Cache is in a green 2litre systema container (changed from original wee red container on 18 Sept 2006). GPS coordinates are spot on.

For more info on Wrights Hill (eg open days, the fortifications etc..) check out the Wrights Hill Fortress Restoration Society. They have open days about 4 times a year where you can go under the ground and into the tunnels.

This cache was originally placed by Chaucey

Placed and now maintained by a member of the Kiwicaching Association of New Zealand
