4 stage multi-cache located on Petone foreshore
Petone foreshore is a beautful spot for a stroll. The beach, boardwalks, grassy picnic areas and interesting objects make it a place of stark beauty.
WPs 1 & 2 hold half the co-ords each for the 3rd WP. WP 3 holds the co-ords for the final cache.
Park at the waypoint and wander east-west, obtaining the following clues (in no particular order) as you go...
A = Number of "Oary" Starfish?
B = Number of Holes on Auroras gunwhale?
C = Number of Museum Lighting Standards?
D = Year that Heretaunga Boating Club was established?
E = Year that public worship first took place near the "Cross of Iona"?
F = Number of spikes on pergola of convenience?
G = Total number of paua breathing holes on the fishy windvane?
When you've found the answers, take a load off to do your sums...
*** checksum: add A~G and you should get 3795 ***
WP 1's co-ords are:
S 41-13.700, E174-52.XYZ
X = A - 1
Y = C - 2
Z = B + (B/2)
