Geocache Description:

Pick up this cache on the beautiful scenic walk around the Mount.....but bring a pen. And be prepared to wait for a break in the stream of walkers. Please don't let yourself be seen as you stealthily reach for this cache from the path. It is at ground level.

This cache is in a very muggly area and this is the challenge! It is on the track around the base of Mauao (the Mount) which is an historic reserve, owned by Maori and managed by Tauranga City Council. There are stunning ocean and harbour views most of the way, on a track which is suitable for strollers and wheelchairs but please take care. There are plenty of cafes and icecream shops on Adams Ave which is the part of the walk between ocean and harbour. Toilets are available whether starting at harbour or ocean. Please place cache back exactly as found where it cannot be spotted, under branches beside the path.. First to Find honours go to Kennyclan!!!
