Tankengine: On a maintenance run today, and seeing the recent high water, decided to check on this one...
Yep - it was missing! AGAIN! I can only see this happening more, so time to archive and set up a new one nearby [:)]

Geocache Description:


Ever since planting the Gibraltar Glory cache, I have been thinking of planting one here! After all, Gibraltar Glory is great, but the experience is not completed until one has been to the bottom! OK, so I can’t plant a cache directly at the bottom – it’s too close to the original! So this one is a little ways away! But it is still worth coming up here, so a multi-cache is the solution!

At the start you will find a phone number. Let it be represented by ABCDEFGHIJ. From here walk to the trailhead, and then follow the path up the river! A very most lovely path, but alas, it eventually disappears. But that’s OK – rock hopping up the river from there is heaps of fun!

The second waypoint (Which could be referred to as a Winglen Lounge) can be found at
S35 29.E(F+G)J E148 56.DJ(B+F).

Once there, have a close look at the lounge top – let K equals the number of large gashes in the lounge top. And, just to confirm, K also equals the number of other large boulders almost touching the lounge!

Now the cache can be found at S35 29.EK8 E148 56.EKD.

You will now need to head back the way you came to find the cache, but before you do, make sure you head upstream another 50m to discover the base of the waterfall! After all, that is what this cache is all about! (Take a photo from there and paste it with your log!). I realise there are umpteen baby water falls on the way here, but this is definitely the highlight!

Please note, although this cache is not too hard to access, you need to be a proficient rock hopper! Keep in mind that wet rocks are slippery and therefore dangerous! For these reasons, this cache is not recommended at night, and not recommended for geokiddies either! Finally - this cache would be extremely dangerous after heavy rain, so give it a couple of days if that unlikely event occurs!
