The cache is not hidden at the published coordinates.
You can start your search for this geocache anywhere in the world. You will need a GPS enabled smartphone, tablet or GPSr device, which is capable of playing a Wherigo cartridge.
This Wherigo cache is inspired by one that I found in Nelson - https://coord.info/GC6GHRF
This cache was in turn inspired by the original reverse Wherigo cache - https://coord.info/GC357G1
The creator of the original Reverse Wherigo cache is -Waldmeister-
The Wherigo cartridge that you will need to play this Wherigo can be downloaded from here
Once you have downloaded the cartridge you will be the proud the owner of a "Reverse-Cache-Box", which will tell you the distance to the final cache, but not the direction.
To play this Wherigo cartridge, it is your task to find the cache only with the information about your distance to the final location. All the instructions and information you need to complete this cartridge is contained within it. This Wherigo cartridge can be played in English, German, Polish, Spanish, Danish, or Dutch.
To start playing the Wherigo you will have to type the codes unique to this Wherigo geocache into your Reverse-Cache-Box player.
However, I haven't made it that simple.
This code is actually 3 sets of 6 numbers so you'll need to go to the listed waypoints to collect the missing numbers:
8A523B
E37C19
DF8787
Taste of Marlborough Wherigo.
To complete this Wherigo you are going to have to visit 3 locations.
This can be completed easily by motor vehicle, or with a little more effort by bike. I would not recommend walking it.
The final is no more than 13 km from any of the waypoints. But it's not at an attraction. It is at (hopefully) a quieter spot.
These waypoints have been chosen as 3 good examples of Marlborough attractions.
The first is a winery with a cellar door and a well regarded restaurant, a good example of some of the wineries in the region.
Here you will need to check out the display of grape varieties outside the building. Some of these are commercially produced in the area, while others are examples of grapes that may work their way in in the future.
The second is a conglomeration of complementary artisan busineses.
Here you will find, amongst other things, tasting rooms, craft shops and places to eat. You will need to get your information from the roadside outside the facility.
The third is an aviation museum.
The 'Knights of the Sky' WWI exhibition is world-class, and the 'Dangerous Skies' WWII exhibition is also very good.
Here you will find a replica train station that will help with the numbers.
You do not have to pay for anything to access this information. While you can visit at anytime, it is strongly recommended though that you visit during normal business hours.
At Waypoint 1. A = number of letters in the variety that states 'The wines typically have wildflower and herbal tea aromas.'
At Waypoint 1. B = number of letters in second word of name, minus number of letters in first word of name of the variety with aromas and flavours including 'earth, mint, cedar, cigar box and chocolate.'
At Waypoint 2. On the roadside power box. C = First number in the serial number (XB_ _ _ _).
At Waypoint 2. On the roadside power box. D = Third number in the serial number (XB_ _ _ _).
At Waypoint 3. E = number of letters in the third christian name of the Corlett family on the plaque.
At Waypoint 3. F = number of letters in the fourth christian name of the Corlett family on the plaque.
Checksum - A + B + C + D + E + F = 27
Take the code with you on your quest, you might need it if there is a problem with your player.
Please visit the cache in daylight hours, and use stealth.
When you reach the final location, you will be given some statistics.
You may copy an image of the information or write the details into your log.
Additionally, you will be given, in your inventory, a personal password which you can enter into the wherigo cartridge and you can select "create" instead of "play" at the start of the cartridge. Save this password. Then if you want to, you can build your own reverse cache wherever you want in the world.
Please bring your own pen or pencil to sign the log in the cache. The cache is a micro, underneath.
The GPS is +/- 5 metres or so. When you are really close you can select the 'final coordinates' from the inventory.
Please do not write any hints into your log about how and where you found the cache or post photos that might give the final location away.
