Geocache Description:


This multi-cache takes you on and about a small section of the Manawatu River walkway, from Fitzherbert Ave bridge east. This is a great place to walk, but every muggle and his or her dog thinks likewise - so PLEASE BE STEALTHY.

The cache contains a log sheet only. BYO pen. There is parking at S 40 22.339; E 175 37.482. There are 3 stages. The given co-ords take you to Stage 1. At the first two stages you will need to obtain information to take you to the next waypoint.

 

1. Start here, S 40 22.383; E 175 37. 477. Use the Historic River Control Works Notice to complete these coordinates: S 40 22.4ab; E 175 37. 6cd. For ab take the last 2 digits of the year given in Rank 2. For cd take the 2nd & 3rd digits of the year given in Rank 4. Use these completed coordinates to find the next stage.

 

2.' Now take the steps up, just right here,

And find co-ordinates hidden near.'

MAKE YOUR OWN COPY OF THESE AND HIDE THE ORIGINAL AWAY AGAIN. Use these new coordiinates to take you to the final.

 

3.' Here stands a being of some might

Wherein you may the cache sight.

Here a poke, and here a dig,

Eventually you're sure to twig,

As you search for the cache 

Now you're at the final place.'

 

PLEASE BE SURE TO PLACE THE CACHE CAREFULLY BACK AND COVER WITH A LITTLE LOCAL MATERIAL Thanks.
