Geocache Description:


New Zealand Government Security Classification System[1]

A structured system that identifies official information that requires extra protection against unauthorised or accidental disclosure and limits access to that information and equipment through procedural and/or physical barriers.

TOP SECRET security classification should be used when, the compromise of information would damage national interest in an exceptionally grave manner.

Other security classifications for material that should be protected because of public interest or personal privacy are: IN CONFIDENCE and SENSITIVE.

Security classifications for material that should be protected because of national security are: RESTRICED, CONFIDENTIAL, SECRET and TOP SECRET.

If you grew up in the 60’s & 70’s you may have enjoyed a range of television series such as Department S, The Saint, Joe90, The Man from Uncle, Mission Impossible, The Avengers and those of a more spoof style such as Get Smart and Top Secret. Here’s a link to the theme tune if anyone remembers it https://youtu.be/EPEmSk6Rxbg

This cache is best done on bike as the GZ is on a unmaintained road and muggles are wary of strangers. Please hide cache well and cover with natural camouflage. As it is a letterbox cache please leave stamp with cache .
