Barking up the wrong tree (Horowhenua) Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

TwigNZ: After a couple of visits to the old GZ, it is clear that access to this area is now radically different to when I created this cache, and will constantly be under threat from flooding.
With the original tree now having been toppled, it's time to put this one to rest and look around for a new location for another tree climb cache :)

Do not waste your time going there looking for an archived find as I have physically removed the cache. Any further logs WILL be deleted.

Geocache Description:


A new cache from my Canine Cache Capers themed series that might challenge you a little.

This is a quiet and unassuming little park on the banks of the Ohau River. It is popular with locals for the relatively easy access to the river for kids to play in the water holes and for dogs to get to have a swim. I certainly used to love coming here with my own dogs when they were alive.

Access to the cache is best achieved by starting at the suggested parking co-ords and making your way towards the swimming holes. From there, work your way towards the cache following the most obvious pathways.

There is no hiding the fact that this is a tree climb cache. As per the guidelines regarding Difficulty and Terrain 6.13. Ratings for difficulty and terrain (D/T) the Difficulty rating reflects the fact that it is a Micro (bison tube) up a tree and the Terrain rating reflects the physical effort to get to the co-ordinates.

Please take care when climbing, and don't go too far out of your comfort zone. It's only a cache, not worth injuring yourself over. Just a suggestion but it might be more ideal to bring along your own younger tree climbing TOTT for the retrieval, and don't wear nice clothes for this cache. Oh, and make sure that you're not barking up the wrong tree!
