Around the Mountains Cycle Trail:
Cyclists can follow the route of the Kingston Flyer railway and ride from the historic settlement of Kingston, at the southernmost tip of Lake Wakatipu, alongside the Eyre Mountains, through the towns of Garston, Athol and Lumsden to Mossburn via a wide and smooth trail.
Passing through the heart of Southland, this section of the trail is 85km long and can take two to three days.
This cache is on the cycle trail but can be accessed from the road. Please take care if crossing the road as it is really busy!
To access the cache you need to go to the first destination and find the answers to the questions to fill in the coordinates.
The cache is an eclipse tin that was placed on Easter Sunday with a small bunny, log book, pencil and a couple of swaps.
