Geocache Description:

The third in the "Curse of the FTF (Wellington)" series of caches.



The rules are really simple ...
Guidelines for this Series:
  1. FTF'er should place the next cache in the series (in this case, Curse of the FTF #4 (Wellington) .... ) within 1 month. Please note only the FTF'er should place the next cache and not every person that finds the cache.
  2. You can only be the FTF for this series once, and no joint FTFs will be accepted on these caches. This spreads the FTF love around, and gives others a chance to play along. (This is at least until everyone who wants to has had ago at FTF).
  3. Cache can be any size or type (Puzzle, Multi, Trad, etc.), but I do ask that you set it within the Greater Wellington Area (Wellington, Hutt Valley, Wainuiomata, and Kapiti Coast up to Waikanae), and if it is a puzzle then it cannot be too hard, as it should be easy enough for everyone to find.
  4. You must include this set of guidelines in your listing for the series. I will be happy to answer any questions concerning the guidelines or about the placing of caches to those who have not placed a cache before.

There is no requirement besides the standard signing of the cache log to prevent you from logging this cache when found. Everyone should log their find, and hopefully the FTF person will play along and place another cache, but it is in no way a requirement for logging your find. But if you don't intend to carry on the series, please do not claim the FTF, and leave it for someone else.

Getting to the Cache

This cache replaces one that was destroyed by a deliberately lit fire in 2010. The area has started to grow back, it seems like a good time to bring people back to a location that has great views of the Porirua basin.

Park at the designated coordinates and follow the path up to the trailhead coords. From here you need to follow (or make your own) goat trail to reach the cache. Head towards the trig station up there.

You are looking for a 2 litre sistema container with an assortment of treasures, as well as the usual logbook and pen.

Remember - No joint FTFs accepted on these caches!!

Thanks to Boxhill for initiating the Curse of the FTF (Wellington) Series.
