Geocache Description:

Have you ever wondered where this pipeline goes? Now's your chance to take a hike and find out what's on the other side...
This climb will get rid of any cobwebs!

Park in the Bridle Path carpark (coordinates given).
Walk up Bridle Path to gate (S 43° 35.350 E 172° 42.495) This is where the pipeline starts, it is exposed and easy to follow.
Follow pipeline up and over to the Lyttelton side and collect the following information on the way. With this information you'll be able to work out the coordinates for the cache.
Once you get to the bottom of the pipeline on the Lyttelton side (coordinates given), there is an interesting wee track named Stan Helms Walkway, which will take you back up to the Summit Road near to the Bridle Path. You can then follow this easy path back to the car park.

NB This cache is unsuitable for small children as it is steep and can be slippery. Take usual precautions for the weather which can be changeable and the area is exposed. As an added challenge, record your time up to the cache and let's see who is the fastest!
