Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coords. If you go there you'll likely finish up lost and miserable.

I was awarded the opportunity of placing an Adventure Lab cache and decided to create it at Pelorus within easy reach of both long and short term visitors to the area. There are also more than 20 other caches to be found without the need for any other transportation than your feet.

To find the necessary information and be able to assemble the final coords you will be taken along an area of largely unmodified bush on the terraces of the Pelorus River, ground out between 70,000-130,000 years ago. The forest at Pelorus Bridge was established as a scenic reserve in 1912.


Pelorus River

Visitors will be introduced to some named native tree species and spectacular examples on the way to finding this cache.

The cache is secured by rocks about 10m off the edge of the walkway uphill side, under a single root formed like a portal (spoil photo) between two similar very tall trees.

It is recommended to have finished the AdLab "Chalinolobus Tuberculatus" (but not the Bonus) before starting the Tawa AdLab cache.

This Adventure Lab cache can be participated in by downloading the Adventure Labs app.

Tawa Walk AdLab Cache

Log-on with your Geocaching log-in, then search in the vicinity of Pelorus Bridge and you can then begin your adventure.

When you stop at each Lab Adventure stage you need to gather some details to be able to find this cache. As you correctly answer each question you will be awarded one point against your logged in geo-account username.
The final is a short distance away and can be found at S 41° 18.ABC E 173° 34.ADE.
Your tasks as per the Adventure Lab cache will disclose the values for A to E.

DO TAKE NOTE and GOOD LUCK
