Geocache Description:

Based in the Seton Nossiter Park is the Porirua Stream Flood Protection Scheme.


At the given co-ordinates you will be taken to a sign post that will give you information on this scheme. The way this system works is that the capacity under the motorway has been substantially reduced by inserting a smaller culvert inside. The space between the two pipes has been filled with concrete. This work limits the amount of water which can flow through the culvert during heavy rainfall. Excess water will build up behind the motorway embankment and drain away when the water eases. The action reduces peak flood flows downstream in Tawa and Porirua, should the inlet structure block, the auxiliary inlet provides an alternative entry into the culvert.

To solve this puzzle it is very simple

The higher you get the closer you get

You will find some marked points that are obvious when you get there, to work out where the final is use the following metres; in no specific order, you will need to work out which one goes where. The first one is the nearest one to the sign then the rest are going closer to the final, there is no need to use the one at the bottom of the track nor the one closest to the road.
