Hammerhead (Wellington) Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

trancer96: I been waiting for a break in the weather to check this out but I don't think I'll replace the cache as it was as it was a bit of an underwhelming hide with a slightly pricey container that I didn't expect to go missing up there. But thanks for the FPs that I didn't really expect for a cache like that.

I had an idea for what to replace it with and because it will be a different type of hide with different D rating and size and it makes no sense as a continuation of this cache. The relentless rain at least has provided an opportunity to weather test some new caches before deployment!

Geocache Description:


A cache on the Cannons Head loop track.

This cache is near a junction on the Dress Circle Track in between Cannons Head and Round Knob. The adjoining track is an alternative route down to Takapu Road (as opposed to the Takapu Ridge route). For some reason the appearance of the junction on maps always makes me think of a hammerhead and so this cache is named for that.

The area around this junction does not immediately lend itself to cache hides but this hide is inspired by a near identical hide elsewhere in the same park where a cache is hidden in an apparently barren area. And yet one thing provides a possibilty. The hint is there in case the cache goes missing and you need to know your're looking in the right place. You should not need it otherwise.
