This cache is in the Belmont Regional Park in the northwestern area quite close to the Cannons Creek Reserve. Indeed the easiest way to get to it is through the Cannons Creek Reserve. Note that while this cache does not require going near the farmed areas of the park where dogs are strictly prohibitied it is recommended not to take dogs into the park at all.
There is an ongoing restoration project in this area and you will find numerous young trees resulting from that effort. In addition, a seat of an unusual triangle design has been placed at a high point overlooking the valley.
Getting there
Assuming you're starting from Cannon's Creek, follow the route to Takapu Road. The track is pretty well formed but parts are quite steep - hence the terrain rating. You'll reach a 3-way junction with a sign that informs you that the Hill Road route is left and the Takapu Road route is right. Go right. Not far along this route you'll reach a kind of clearing (clear of trees but the grass can be pretty long) with a sign simply saying "Track" pointing to the right. This is waypoint J1.
The route to Takapu Road heads down the hill right of the sign (straight ahead in the picture) but there is another reasonably obvious gravel path heading off further to the right (where the sign is actually pointing as it happens). Follow this for 50m or so.
Note that you cannot presently get here from Takapu Road due to the Transmission Gully works.
The cache
Some effort was made to find a suitable hide for a small-sized cache but that turned out to be impractical in this location. So a camouflaged micro was chosen instead.
