The cache is not at the published coords;
Start at S 35° 41.760 E 174° 15.913 , where you will find parking at the end of Amalin Drive & the start of the track
Rather than spreading clues across the forest, with risk of DNF's which could spoil a puzzle, I've decided to make this easy.
All you need to do is take a walk to complete the coords S35 42.___E1174 15.___ by finding either Taraire Ridge Cafe or Just One More... . Both have the numbers required to fill in the blanks above, + a hint.
You will need to walk the Taraire Ridge Track which is part of the Pukenui Long Loop, an 8.9km hike; moderate fitness required. 3-5 hours return.
I find these walks & scenery are rewarding on their own & seem to find something new every time! but caches are fun, so this is just an extra little bonus for y'all Hope you enjoy your walk/s.
Sorry for all the multiple layers of protection, but please take time to rewrap, replace & hide cache well. Thanks!
