What does one do with a cache that had to be archived because of risk of rockfall caused by an earthquake? Answer: One puts on a hard hat, grabs it and sticks it somewhere else.
First, a warning. This cache needs to be found with a GPS that works well under the canopy, hence the difficulty rating. Look at the photo before you go.
Secondly, you need to be reasonably fit to return safely from this cache as it is a 200m drop over a distance of 1 KM from the carpark. You will also need to cope with the odd slippery bit and a couple of short sections of slimy rocks underfoot. People who regularly wander around the port Hills won’t be troubled by this one.
On the positive side, there is much pretty bush to wander through, and lots of bird song when I placed the cache. This is the one of the largest bush remnants on the Port Hills, with small areas of original forest remaining containing Matai and Totara trees
This is the cache from “As tough as old Boots”, even the log book is the same. I have left it there for the finders of ATOB to reminisce over. I have also left the old camouflage in place as it will answer a question raised by some finders of another cache of mine.
Please do not interfere with the green buckets lying about. I am not sure why there are there, but someone put them there for a purpose, perhaps to gather seed from the magnificent Totora and Matai trees present in the area. Please return the rocks in a similar manner to that found, ie mossy side up.
