Geocache Description:

Should be a relatively easy drive-by, just keep a watch out for the neighbours. They might be watching you.

Because of the tree cover the GPSr reception will be poor. The clues are good though.

Heriot is a small settlement in West Otago, in the South Island of New Zealand. It is located 20 kilometres southwest of Raes Junction and 15 kilometres north of Tapanui.

Contrary to popular belief, the township is likely not to have been named after the Scottish border town of the same name (unlike other local towns named after Borders places, such as Kelso and Roxburgh), but may have come from the maiden name of the wife of early settler William Pinkerton.

The main economic activities in Heriot are related to the farming of livestock.

The cache container is a 200ml Systema KlipIt with a logbook, pencil & sharpener and a stash note.
