Located in the lovely seaside village of Plimmerton, this mystery multicache contains a geometric puzzle. While following the clues, you must first determine the nature of the puzzle then its solution (where both the cache and glory reside). The whole thing should take around an hour??? Cache container is a 200ml sistema with a camo cover.
Waypoints:
First S 41 04.930 / E 174 52.027
Note the colour under your feet.
Second S 41 04.880 / E 174 52.107
Two signs are visible 60m NNE of here. Note the colour of the circles and use this sign to find your next waypoint.
AAA= 871 + the time in the PM
BBB= 942 + the time in the AM
Third S 41 04.AAA / E 174 51.BBB
10m SW of this waypoint is a yellow sign with arrows. The colour of these arrows is of significance, and their number will lead you onwards.
CCC= 547 + (number of arrows x 111)
DDD= CCC - 93
Fourth S 41 04.CCC / E 174 51.DDD
This is your final waypoint. Your colour clue here is everything W of the waypoint and above you (on a fine day). Use these waypoints and clues to find the cache location.
Notes:
Pen and paper will be very useful.
As the area is fairly small, (and for the sake of simplicity) all relationships between waypoints are based on Latitude and Longitude. Conversions to NZGrid coordinates are NOT required.
GZ is best approached from the W on a track behind the ‘ladies’.
(hints 1 and 2 refer to the puzzle, hint 3 refers to the cache location)
