A Cache of Ice and Fire #12 - Aegon V Targaryen.
One of a series of caches that will take you on an adventure into the Gollans Stream area between Wainuiomata and Eastbourne. The series is designed to be accessed via Rata Ridge Track - I recommend accessing it from the end of Lees Grove in Wainuiomata. These caches are based on established Bait Lines through the reserve area. Please respect the hard work of the volunteers who work in this area - do not touch, alter, or damage any of the pest control traps. None of the caches are located near a trap - there is no need for you to come into contact with them. GPS reception in this area can be patchy - almost all of these caches are therefore hidden directly on or beside the Bait Line.
This series is named after some of the many characters from the A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels (later adapted into the successful television show "Game of Thrones"). This particular cache celebrates Aegon V Targaryen.
Aegon V Targaryen was a Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and the fifteenth Targaryen king to sit the Iron Throne. In his youth, he went by the nickname Egg and squired for Ser Duncan the Tall. Aegon became king after a Great Council bypassed a number of candidates earlier in the line of succession, and after his elder brother, Maester Aemon, refused the throne. As the fourth son of Maekar I, himself a fourth son, Aegon was called Aegon the Unlikely.
