Geocache Description:

Just a short walk along the Rangiwahia track before the climb over the old slip starts.


                                                                                              ABOUT THE TRACK

 

A well maintained & easy to follow track climbs over an old slip, through beech forest and up to the tussock covered, open tops to Rangiwahia Hut (Rangi hut). It could take anywhere between 1-3hrs to reach the hut, depending on your fitness, but 1.5hrs is probably a fair estimate. You can also continue on to complete the Rangiwahia-Deadmans loop which is estimated at about 7-9hrs to complete.

Alternatively, you could make it a 2 day tramp & stay over night at the hut.

The cache is placed just a short walk along the track, & you will be fairly exposed to passing muggles. Please keep an eye/ear open for anyone approaching. And re-hide exactly as found. A detailed discription has been given in the clue to help for a quick & easy find & to help with any questionable GPS signals in the bush.
