Pinetops: Melbye Creek 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. GZ is situated at the top of the Melbye Creek Zig Zag track which links to the lower Main Track.

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).

If you are starting at the northern end of Pinetops, park at the Silverstream entrance, immediately north of the Fergusson Drive lights on SH2.

The Cache

This 400ml camouflaged Systema clip-top contains a log and pencil, with room for small trackables and swag. Please make sure the cache is hidden as found before you leave, thanks.

Acknowledgements

These bush tracks have been created by Brian Melbye, a dedicated volunteer who spends many hours working on this project. As you may have guessed, Melbye Creek is named after Brian. Admire his handiwork as you enjoy the bush walk.
