Kaitoke hill track (Wellington) Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

BarnabysTravels: As this had only been found twice in 18 months I was going to archive it soon, then a few more people logged finds! Went out today to check it, and with the size that the manuka, gorse and toetoe have got to it won't be easy to get to pain-free for a lot longer, so confirmed my decision and have removed the cache from its hiding spot.

Geocache Description:



Easy to locate cache on the Kaitoke hill track.




Kaitoke Regional Park covers 2860 hectares in the foothills of the Tararua Ranges. Steep, bush-clad hills, the Hutt River gorge and centuries-old rata, rimu and beech forest feature in this magnificent natural setting.
Swim in tranquil river pools, or explore beautiful bush clad tracks, some suitable for wheelchairs. Walk the Ridge Track for wonderful views of the Upper Hutt valley, or visit the magical spot used as a set for Rivendell in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Nearly half of Wellington's water is drawn from the Hutt River within Kaitoke Regional Park



Do not try and attempt this from SH2. The start to the track is in Kaitoke Loop Road at coordinates S 41° 05.211 E 175° 09.579



 The cache is a 2 litre Sistema container.



 PLEASE replace the cache carefully so that it is there for others to enjoy after you- thank you!
