A three part cache. The final cache contains half of the coordinates to the puzzle cache, Christchurch Conundrum. The total distance you will need to travel from start to finish will be approximately 2km as the crow flies. There are schools located nearby each of the caches, so additional stealth will be required at certain times of the day to avoid the young muggles. Please be sure to return the caches so that they are in the same state as when you found them.
Update on 12/11/26
Waypoint 2 has taken several different forms over the years and each time the cache was muggled. The last iteration was muggled before anyone found it. So, I am making the second waypoint a virtual cache. You will need to go to the coordinates for WP2 that you find at WP1 and then solve the following to find the final coordinates.
|
A
|
Number of basketball Hoops |
|
B
|
2*W-V |
|
C
|
Number of benches on the edge of the playground surface |
|
D

|
E

|

|
W*2+S |
|
G
|
0*Q+5*A |
|
H
|
Number of drinking fountains |
|
Q
|
Number of people playing basketball |
|
S
|
Number of slides |
|
V
|
Number of springs under the seesaw |
|
W

Checksum: A+C+D+E+H+S+V+W+Y = 20
For the final, calculate: S 43° 3A.BCD E 172° 3E.FGH
Then subtract 0.005 from the South minutes and 0.011 from the East minutes
Please remember to bring a pen or pencil to sign the log.
A big thank you to trifolia argentea for keeping this cache going by replacing the container!
