Geocache Description:

A real scramble to this traditional. T4.5 when ground wet.

Jane's Place


When placing this cache the trip up was a hands, feet and -at times- knees scramble. And that's before you get to the small cave. Bring a torch if you like to explore - it's small and safe as houses. I looked for the extremely rare and officially protected Nelson Cave Spider (Spelungula cavernicola)as well as any Cave Weta (Gymnoplectron acanthocerum), but found nobody home. Until I looked at some of the photos and I caught one weta in the flash. Poor thing must still be trying to get its night vision back.

Going down may prove even more fun - make sure you have good tread on the shoes and clothes you don't mind getting dirty - especially if you explore all of the cave. Please make sure the cache can't fall from its spot when you have put it back.
