This cache continues what was intended to be a series of caches that get you to visit and see the community artwork that has been applied to some roadside network infrastructure cabinets, The first of those was "Fantail" which was a traditional cache but now archived due to revised placement rules around these cabinets. Subsequent caches are all multi-caches which allows the cabinets to be used as waypoints without placing caches on them or being bound by separation rules. Click on the banner above or use the sidebar bookmark to see the series in bookmark form.
Layout of the multi-cache
This multi-cache comprises 3 virtual stages and a physical final. The 3 virtual waypoints are each the location of a communication cabinet situated around the loop road that circumnavigates the hospital grounds in central Porirua. Technically they are not all in Kenepuru but for the purposes of this cache they are close enough. The waypoints are listed in the suggested order but you can visit them in any order you like to collect the information you will need to compute the location of the final. The distance from the first waypoint to the third is about 2.4 km.
There is every expectation that this will be a drive-by mission but you can, of course, walk, bike, scoot or whatever.
The virtual way points
In the following, if the information is a letter, use its position in the alphabet as the number (eg K=11).
When asked for the "cabinet code" it refers to the one or two letters at the upper left corner of the cabinet underneath the "PRO" prefix. Convert to a number as above.
You only need to use what you can see on the front of the cabinet.
| WP1 |
 |
S41°08.030 E174°49.840 |
A = The number of islands depicted
B = Second letter in the cabinet code (see above) |
| WP2 |
 |
S41°08.775 E174°49.752 |
C = Second letter in the main image
D = Third letter in the main image
E = The cabinet code (see above) |
| WP3 |
 |
S41° 08.918 E174°50.290 |
F = Number of green leaves
G = Number of headlamps |
The checksum for A+B+C+D+E+F+G=32.
The final location
S41 08.(F)(A-D)(E-F) E174 50.(B)(C)(G)
It's not too far away from one of the cabinets. Please take care to cover the cache well when replacing.
