Geocache Description:

Access the cache site from Blueskin Road. You can approach from either Port Chalmers or Waitati.

Mt Mopanui is the hill that dominates the skyline in this area. Don't panic! You don't have to climb it. There's a road straight to the cache site. It's of reasonably maintained gravel. Fine in a 2WD car with the usual care.

The cache container is a half litre translucent tupperware type. Initial contents were logbook/pen/pencil, Bear figure and a "How to..." pamphlet on choosing a digital camera.

The cache is at shin height and is invisible from 0 metres. Get down on the right angle and you should just be able to catch a glimpse of it. Accuracy when placed was 4 metres.

Please respect the rock wall. If the cache location isn't immediately obvious please use the hint rather than dismantle the wall!

Choose a fine day if possible as the view from here is excellent but prone to fog.
