Geocache Description:


This is a family friendly cache near Nelson that is quick to complete and has a place the kids will enjoy. We wouldn't recommend a ride on the "Spinning Thingy" for adults - you will just make yourself feel sick. That's done it, hasn't it? - you will have to try it now!

The cache is a 400ml sistema container in camo colours.

Park at the published co-ordinates and answer the following questions related to the name of the cache. Some simple questions and maths so that the kids can help the adults. The final cache is a short walk away.

Questions:

1. Number of spirals = A
2. Number of chromed nuts (all of them) = B
3. Number of hand holes = C
4. Number of circles = D

Final cache is at S41 18.C(A+2)(B-C) E173 14.(C+3)A(D/2)

Note: The original cache went missing Aug 08 - the plants that provide natural cover have been cut back a lot so please replace the leaves that are covering the cache so that it cannot be seen.
