Geocache Description:


Formely:  https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC34VK6_tf1-grimlock-needs-a-bath-north-shore-auckalnd

In December 2015 we found this cache in a terrible state. We took it home and cleaned it up. To help keep this cache in good working order we also changed the nature of its hide (still in keeping with the hint) which then increased the difficulty rating from 1 to a 2.5. Over the last couple of years we have tried to contact Grimlocks cache owner in regards to changing the difficulty rating or changing ownership with no response. As we have continued to maintain this cache we made the decision to request it be archived with the intention of us re-submitting and continuing to actively maintain it as we have done for the last 2 years.

 

The cache is hidden on a footbridge along the coastal walkway in Oruamo or Hellyers Creek Reserve.

Great place for a relaxing walk or even a run if you are feeling energetic.

And what do you know...... you could even collect a geocache or two. 

You are looking for a small sistema container with room for small swaps and trackables. No need to leave the bridge (unless you want too get muddy). Happy hunting smiley

 

9.2.12 Shepherds Park to Beach Haven Road (North Shore City Coastal Esplanade Reserves Guideline 2002)

This entire section of shoreline, which extends for some 2km along the southern side of Hellyers Creek and the western side of Kaipatiki Creek fronts onto existing esplanade reserves having an average width of approximately 20m. Access to the shoreline and a small boat ramp and small muddy beach is available from the end of Paragon Avenue. Pedestrian access along the cliff top overlooking Hellyers Creek is possible along a well developed walkway through the Paragon Avenue reserve with a link across a pipeline to the Lancaster Road esplanade reserve with the formed track terminating at Packham Place. From Packham Place the reserve continues along the western side of Kaipatiki Creek to Beach Haven Road. This section of reserve provides an excellent buffer zone between extensive areas of mangrove in the Kaipatiki Creek and the adjoining residential development.
