Details
This event is designed to allow geocachers to give a little back to
the environment and community. Between 11am and 1pm on 17th Oct
2010, we will be clearing away accumulated rubbish from the Sea
Wall at Orpheus Drive, off Hillsborough. The timing of the event
coincides with low tide.
This is quite an intriguing location but there is also a lot of
litter so there is lots to do. There is a nice grassed area with
picnic tables, boat ramp, and stone beach. There is also nearby a
brand new foot bridge of some architectural merit across to
Onehunga Bay Reserve.
There is plenty of car parking at the above coordinates. There is
also an opportunity to hunt for two great nearby caches:
To log this cache you will need to arrive on the day and sign the
log. We are unable to accept any advanced logging of attendance on
the cache.
We will meet at 11am in the car park for coordination and
instructions. Rubbish bags and gloves will be provided and the
rubbish bags will be taken away by a contractor at the end of the
event so you don't need to worry about that.
You may want to bring the following. Please also be aware that
the rocks can be loose or slippery and care should be taken at all
times:
- What to wear: Gumboots or Sturdy boots or shoes, Long
pants, long-sleeved shirt, sun hat, Waterproof jacket.
- What else to bring: Drinking water - we will give you a
bottle (while stocks last) but you may want to bring your own.
