Geocache Description:

This has been set as a mountain biking cache suitable for persons of moderate fitness aged 8 years and above. It utilises a MTB track in the McLeans Forest portion of the Waimakariri River Regional Park.


Tour Information:
The Waimakariri River Regional Park is open between the hours of 7:00 am and 7:00 pm daily (closes 10:00 pm during daylight saving).

This 'tour' to the cache has been designed to utilise the extra Coringa Loop MTB track. This will add an extra 5km loop to your tour. Although the MTB has been signposted as "NOT AVAILABLE FOR WALKERS" the forest is very open and there is nothing to stop footbound geocachers walking through the trees adjacent to the MTB tracks, or along the many forest roads, or raised stopbanks.

You will need to do the Tour de McLeans Multicache (GCZ31A) first, for the coordinates of this cache are written on the cover of that cache's logbook.

The car park handy to the start and end of the Tour de McLeans and the Tour de McLeans - Bonus caches is situated at S 43° 27.936 E 172° 28.097.

The cache is a 1.2 litre camo container containing logbook, pencil and swap items.
