Geocache Description:

A series of four caches on the West side of Wainui Hill. Not enough for a power trail, perhaps, but as they are next to tracks created to maintain power lines, and can be done on a loop walk, let's call them a "Power Circuit".


Series blurb

As a street walker, it's important to walk all streets, paths, tracks, etc in the local area. There was a bit of unfinished business on Wainui Hill that looked like it would make a nice circuit: straight up a steep, direct route, down the road a bit, then turn left to descend a 4WD track that provides access to two power pylons, then finally a link track that sidles back to the bottom of the steep track. I thought I'd leave a few caches behind to share the circuit with fellow cachers.

All of the caches are berocca tubes covered in black tape. Each one is at the base of some sort of planty thing. The whole circuit won't be to everyone's taste. However, all except number 2 can be reached on pretty reasonable tracks from a couple of different entry points.

This cache

The final cache on the power circuit. If you've done the circuit you will get here by carrying on down the 4WD track from #3. Or maybe you have sidled your way across from #1. The coords should take you to a slightly overgrown walking track that skirts the uphill side of the pylon. You need to take a step or two off the track, but you should be able to reach the cache without climbing the bank. Note: it's not the planty thing with the ribbon and bait station.
