Geocache Description:

A night-cache near the edges of Christchurch. The darker the night, the easier the hunt will be. You will need a good torch, a good friend and keen observation skills!



The cache is located at Avonhead Park Cemetery - it's a very new cemetery, still pretty spooky at night. You will not need to walk over 'anybody' during the hunt. The gates are closed from 5.30pm to 8am (8.30pm to 8am daylight savings time). Pedestrian access 24 hours

The coordinates will take you to the first fire tac. You will be able to see it as you enter the cemetery gates. From this point start hunting for the next tac. Each tac is attached to a tree - flashes of light from other places could be... a ghost??
To see a fire tac you will need to hold your torch at eye level. The light is reflected back to its source, so if you hold your torch at waist level they'll be almost invisible.
Stand as close to each tree as possible and pan 360° until you see the next tac. You are looking for orange tacs or silver tacs. Follow the trail to the way-point, which is marked by a pair of tacs. Here you will need to search for a micro that contains the co-ordinates for the final cache.

A short walk within the cemetery grounds will take you to the final location.You do not have to open any gates to get to the cache - going through gates will take you on to private land. The cache is a large green container that is able to hold quite large items. When placed it help several night cache themed swaps (scary/creepy/monsters and a key-chain light). Please take the time to recover the cache well.

Happy Hunting


Standing in a different spot (but still close to the tree) can illuminate a tac that was hidden.
After rain the area can get very wet, please be careful. Terrain would be a '2' during the day.
