Geocache Description:


Runninggirl1972 and I walked this track and really enjoyed it. So much so that we decided the track needed another cache placed along it, just to further tempt those mulling over this walk as a day trip opportunity.

Read the information boards at the bottom before heading up, if you can. The history here is quite interesting. What you are looking at, at the cache location, is the penstock which channels the water from the race down to the hydro station. The penstock is a 450mm pipe that drops water 107 metres down to the powerhouse, creating 152 pounds per square inch (psi) of water pressure to turn the turbine.

We hope you enjoy the walk and the view, but firstly a few apologies.

Sorry to those that have already done this walk, but if you needed another reason for a return visit, maybe this is it.

The reading was taken using a phone in overcast conditions, so sorry if it is not 100% accurate. If you have a better reading, and it is corroborated by other cachers, I will update it. Please use the detailed hint as well as the rest of this description.

Also, this is a nano in the wild. Yep, I know.

 

Happy hunting. Use stealth, even when you think the coast is clear.

Cache is magnetic, under and up. Tweezers may be required.
