Caching To The Power Of "10" (Nelson/Marlborough) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Captain_S: I am archiving the entire Power of 10 series due to some misunderstandings with both cachers and landowners as to the placement of some of the caches in cemetaries.
When I first put this series out, I was very careful to approach the various people responsible for the locations, and was granted permission in all cases. It seems that either these people have moved on and not passed this information on, or reneged on the original permission.
The other reason for archiving is the number of cachers who have a problem with caches located in cemetaries, my response to that is that you don't have to find them, the choice is yours. My choice was to place them there for specific reasons and I was able to do so at the time.
If you have not finished this series and wish to find the final location (not in a cemetary) I will be happy to provide you with the co-ords.
Thanks for understanding

Geocache Description:


This is the final cache of a series of 10. It will require plenty of preparation and travel to complete.



WARNING The Above Co-Ordinates are not the final cache site.

To find this cache you need to visit the 10 caches of mine listed below. Each cache has its own number from 0-9 and I have not listed them in any particular order. As you visit each cache note down its number, and when you have done all 10, use the numbers in the formula below to find the final cache.
The number of each cache is clearly marked on its lid, under the lid, on the front of the log book, in the bottom of the cache and on the bags, so you should not miss them!
For those who complete this, I guess you can call yourselves "Dedicated" Geocachers (or mad) and the FTF gets a genuine Geocacher Patch that they can wear with pride.

OK the 10 caches are as follows (in no particular order)
I logged them on different days and not in sequence either!

A = GCPNZ1 Too Many Olive Trees
B = GCPNZ2 First Womble To Fall
C = GCPNYJ Kaituna - Place Of Final Rest
D = GCPNZ4 Port Motueka Fun Field
E = GCPNYK Raupaura Cemetary
F = GCPNYF A Step Back nto History
G = GCPNYG Onamalutu
H = GCPNZ3 A First In The Dale Of The Doves
I = GPCNYX Grovetown Lagoon And Olive Grove?
J = GCPNYZ Waterfalls and Scerenety

Final Cache Site is at

South IG GD.FEC East GHE G(J-G).BDA

I certainly enjoyed preparing this and learned a lot too in the process, I hope you get as much out of it as I did
Good luck and enjoy :-)
