South Hagley Park Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Rincewind3: GZ is a lot more built up now, and it's pretty hard to be stealthy without looking dodgy. Time to go (I was surprised the cache was in such good condition - easily reusable)

Geocache Description:

I was searching for something entirely different (info on a cipher) when I came across a tool that will help you locate this cache.  As soon as I saw it I knew I could use it to create a cache somewhere around the location of this cache.

Very busy on weekends, may be best on a weekday.  Also, there is water nearby so not ideal for geo-kiddies unless you can keep a close eye on them.

I think there is enough on the cache page to make this an easy puzzle, but there is a hint in need (it will make it a difficulty 1 I believe).

Update: 18 August 2023 (tomorrow is 10 years since this was published) - the original hiding spot is gone.  If you have previously solved this you'll need to do it again to get the new coords.  There has been a LOT of construction in the area, stealth will be important getting to GZ.

You shouldn't need it, but just in case:
