Pinetops: Gully bottom Traditional Cache

Pinetops Trail

Pinetops is a bush track that runs from Haywards Stream (substation), along the upper reaches of Keith George Memorial Park, to join the Loop Track in Silverstream Scenic Reserve. From GZ the Pine Gully track leads up onto Pinetops. At time of publication there is no official map of the tracks and signage is of a temporary nature.

Parking

If you are starting at the southern end of Pinetops, park at either Haywards Substation or at the 'Welcome to Upper Hutt' information area on SH2. If you choose to park on SH2, the track starts on the right hand side of the stream halfway between the information area and the fantail sculpture (each of these has an associated cache).

The Cache

This camouflaged 400ml Systema sits at the bottom of the Pine Gully trail, a bush track that climbs up to the Pinetops trail where the Pinetops: Mossy Corner cache is hidden. Pine Gully has borderline GPS coverage so be prepared if you venture up. The cache has room for small trackables and swag. Please make sure the cache is hidden as found before you leave, thanks.

Acknowledgements

As I've mentioned elsewhere, these bush tracks have been created by Brian Melbye, a dedicated volunteer who spends many hours working on this project. Brian is keen to see as many people on the trails as possible, so Council will continue to maintain them.
