Waitahinga trails Traditional Cache

Cache is a small container with a log book and a few bits of swag. Please supply own writing instrument and peturn cache in such a way it will not be seen accidentally by muggles.

This is a  park and grab

I have intentions of adding more caches along the entire walkway over the summer months.

Waitahinga trails are found 12 km past Bushy Park, inland from Kai Iwi on land owned by the Wanganui Council. Over 2012 and 2013 the Wanganui Tramping Club has done a wonderful job cutting and clearly marking a number of trails catering for various fitness levels. These trails pass through bush with a large diversity of species and some impressively big rimu and rata trees including the "hug tree" and the "nail tree".

NOTE: Unfortunately these trails are CLOSED in July and August to allow for goat culling ( Note cache can be accessed from main gate at all times)

Take Rangititau Rd at Kai Iwi and follow it until Junction road goes off to the left. Take Junction road for maybe a kilometre and park at the well signed Quarry carpark. There is a good view from this road, but even better views from the Mt Egmont and Mt Ruapehu lookouts on the "Chicken run" trail
