Geocache Description:

Let's celebrate the autumn equinox - and try a dawn event during the week!!


Friday 21 March 2014 at 7.20am sharp!!

We will meet at the given coordinates at 7.20am - feel free to come earlier, especially if you want to set up for a good photo of the rising sun - even though previous events in the series have not given us much reason to pull out the cameras...

The logbook will be out only until the sunrise at 7.41am, make sure that you turn up on time and sign it - additionally, there may be a clue about fourth event in the series in the logbook, so don't forget to note it down.

Hot tea, coffee, milo and some home baking will be provided yes  please bring your own mug.

An equinox is a period in the orbit of a planet in which the planet's orbit and position cause the Sun to pass directly over the equator and it marks a shift in seasons. When the equinox occurs, the Sun is directly over the celestial equator, which means that someone standing at the equator would be able to see the Sun immediately overhead. It also means that half of the planet is fully illuminated, and that day and night are of roughly equal length.

The exact time for the equinox in Dunedin this year is 21 March at 5.57am, so feel free to get up early and start the celebrations at the actual equinox time.

Event going ahead in any weather, so come prepared as there is not much shelter.

The difficulty rating reflects the time of day - could be easier than on a weekday for some?
