Initial Cache Contents:
Directions:
The cache (accuracy 15 m; elevation 122 m) is hidden in a 1.3
litre translucent plastic snap-lock container in dense undergrowth.
It is safest to park a few hunded metres up the road in the car
park (S 46°04.022' E 169°49.508'; elevation 159 m), then follow the
gravel track to the cache.
Warning! You may also park at the
nearest point to the cache, near the beginning of the slow vehicle
bay on the immediate western side of the Manuka Stream No 5 bridge,
but you will need to climb the locked gate and you will also run
the risk of being hit by oncoming traffic, be careful.
You may get there by either following State Highway 8 west from
Milton or south from Alexandra. Turn off at the Tunnel Hill
signpost and park in the car park. After you find the cache or
otherwise, you may like to walk to the other end of the tunnel
(bring a torch if you don't like the dark).
Free Hint: The cache is 11-12 m from an informational
sign.
Either before or after finding this cache, you may like to
search for U.N.C.L.E.s
Manuka Gorge Tunnel cache, it's near the gravel track and about
160 m north-west of this cache.
