Sounds Short Sign Stop (Havelock@Nsn/Marlborough) Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

beltfamily: If Agazo can't find it, then it confirms my view it was dead a while ago, and the single "find" was ... well, you know. It always was a nothing-cache with poor parking. The only reason I placed it was because I challenged another cacher to go up and place one there for me :)

Geocache Description:

Drive-by traditional to highlight the track entry point to Mahakipawa Hill. Take care with parking - there isn't much room.

Sounds Short Sign Stop

 

Mahakipawa Hill track is part of Te Araroa Route, more specifically, part of the Linkwater to Havelock section. The track follows the power line maintenance track for 3.5 km up and over the Hill. The track climbs steeply to gain about 380 m altitude after the first km and the lower portions have a bare clay surface. Higher up the track has reasonable grass cover and offers good views.

I've been thinking of putting a cache at the trig on top (420 m), but this is as far as I got this time! Perhaps someone else will beat me to it. I imagine the views will be awesome on the right day.
