Geocache Description:

This cache starts with a pleasant walk through a well developed walkway, and finishes with your best spider monkey impersonation. (Accuracy of GZ coordinates +/- 4m).

Whitby has a large number of well developed walkways; this is in the middle of one of them. The majority of this path is surrounded by trees and foliage, you quickly forget that you are in the middle of suburbia.

The path to the coordinates can be entered from three locations, two of which are in Whitby and the third being in Paremata. Once you reach the specified coordinates, it is at this point you need to employ those spider monkey skills of yours to find the prize you seek.



The cache is a 400ml sistema container and contains a logbook, pencil and the usual trinkets. It is sitting in a camo bag and should be very visible if you are in the right position. You may find that GZ is not the ideal location to sign the log or peruse the cache, so use some due diligence as to where and how you wish to do this. You may find it easier to retrace your steps back to the starting coords to sign, and make a return trip to put the cache back in place.

Do NOT attempt this cache at night, or when it is windy, or after rain, as the final path to the cache is not easy in these conditions.
