Geocache Description:

This multi covers a wonderful walking track from Taylor's Mistake up to Godley Head. If you have time, take in the entire track and the military installation remains at Godley Head, where there are a number of other caches to hunt down.

At no point on this multi will you be asked to leave reasonably well formed tracks.

However, as it is a hill walk, some parts of paths used are steep, rocky, unfenced, and have a steep drop off on the side. If you bring children keep a very close eye on them.

The path to the final is quite steep - be careful, and don't try this in the wet.


Starting at the beach, take a look up the hill in the direction of the posted coordinates. Your walking track is off to the right and takes you up to this bench to start this multi.


You will need to answer questions at each WP to determine the final cache location, which you can retrieve on your way back to your starting point.


WP1 (posted co-ords) Note the very cute facilities for dogs here! :) Question - how many letters in his first name? - A

WP2 There are wooden supports of two heights for different purposes here. How many wooden support posts are of the higher height? - B

WP3 Standing here and viewing the stairs down the hill, how many steps up is it from ground to the first landing (including the landing)? - C (If you have difficulty seeing them from here, the stairs are accessed by a small path you've already passed. You can go down there and pick up this number on the way back.)

WP4 This wee collection of holiday baches is worth a visit. From here, how many window panes are in the side facing the sea of the furthest away bach (not counting doors)? - DAfter enjoying the walk down to Boulder Bay and up to Godley Head, you can find the cache on your return to the beach at: South 43 35.BDA East 172 47.BBC


Cache is a one litre snaplock . Please place cache back exactly where found and try to 'wedge it in'.
