Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed coordinates. What you will find at the listed coordinates is a similar feature that I think of as “Flat Wall”. If you follow the contour lines along the western side of the mountain there a quite a lot of these similar geological features.


To find the location of the GZ you will need to print out the below pictures and assemble the cubes, unless of course you can visualise it.

The easiest way to get to the cache is to start at S35.16.439 E149.05.806 and follow the path downhill. Veer left onto the concrete path and continue downhill.
At S35.16.279 E149.05.839, turn left and follow the path past similar geological features and great views to west until the cache is about 75m straight down hill.

The round trip is about 2.2km and will take about 40 minutes.

Alternatively you could take the direct route (about 200m) straight down from the road, but I must warn you. It’s quite steep and you’ll miss a pleasant walk past similar geological features.

On the way to the GZ from here please be careful as the area is very steep, and when retrieving the cache container there is about a 4m drop nearby
No rock climbing is required to retrieve the cache, though I wouldn't recommend wearing high heels.

The cache is a 400ml Sistema container

As a side note cachers who also rock climb, might find some interesting bouldering problems here and at some of the other Tors on this side of the mountain.

*** First to find honours go to Winglen***
