Geocache Description:

Glowworm Grotto


Glowworm is the common name for various groups of insect larvae and adult larviform females that glow through bioluminescence. They may sometimes resemble worms, but all are insects. The little Ohiwa Reserve harbours a great glowworm grotto, complete with bushwalk, cliff-face and waterfall with lots of epiphytes hanging above your head. Simply beautiful and well worth the night-time visit!

This is a night cache only, don't even try this during the day; you won't find it...

Park your car at the trail head (see 'Parking' coordinates). There's a sign with some general information and a track overview. Follow the path and make a right when you hit the T-junction (see 'Track T-junction' coordinates and don't forget to make a left here on your way back). Follow the track until you reach the cliff-face and the waterfall flowing over (an easy 15 minute walk). Sit on the bench, enjoy the glowworm spectacle and try to locate the cache...

Bad GPS reception here so no use for the cache coordinates. You'll have to use another tool to locate the cache...
 
WARNING: The cache is difficult to reach and only accesible to lean, fit people. No specialized gear required, just make sure to hold on!
 
Please take note of the exact spot you take the cache from and put it back in the exact same place. Make sure to close the cache again firmly by pushing the top in completely and please make sure to place the cache so that it is not visible in daylight. Before you leave, also make sure you can locate the cache again (but not too easy!) so that the next geocacher has a chance to find it too.
 
TIP: Combine this cache with GC18N5M & GC4B8V4. Get those ones just before dark, then move on to this one when it's fully dark.


To really enjoy this cache's coolness make sure it's fully dark. It's a waste to go and try this in daylight!
