Geocache Description:


Jigidi puzzle to solve: Click here

*** NOTE*** the original field puzzle cache mentioned below has unfortunately been muggled, a standard cache container is now in its place at the solved jigidi puzzle coordinates. Should this replacement cache "survive" for a period of time in its location a revised version of the original field puzzle cache will be reinstalled :)

-‐--------------------------------------------- 

About the "original" cache:  When you have completed the Jigidi there is a field puzzle to solve. The cache has space for the Log only, anything that looks like a swappable is purposely there. Gentle fingers, no force needed at anytime.

NB:  Please leave cache exactly as found - do not take anything, it's there for a reason.

  • Allow time - as you need to solve a field puzzle, then gain entry, and return cache as found. There is a fast and long way to gain entry
  • Be observant - will help you solve and easily gain entry to cache, if not you have a long road ahead of you, lol
  • Reinstate cache - please leave everything exactly as found
  • No force required –  keep adjusting until things work, if everything is in its place no force is needed,
  • Come prepared - pen and paper as well as the usual TOTT will defintely come in handy. Also reading glasses if use them, lol.
  • Parking - a little tricky, there is a small grassy spot paralell to the roadside (back into it with rear of car next to the to roadside marker).
  • Time your search - the road can sometimes have high volume in weekends, suggest doing this in quieter time to help you be able to park, e.g. not on a Toast Martinborough weekend etc

--- Good luck and have fun ---

 

The Nifty Swifty series back story:

These caches were created by a group of (mostly Wellington) cachers to give another Wellingtonian (who has relocated to the Wairarapa) something new to find ‘in their own back yard’.  We hope everyone enjoys them!

The Cache:  There is a certain person who is a master at playing the infamous "Yellow Car" game while out geocaching in their blue Nifty Swifty. They can be chatting away then suddenly shout out "Yellow Car"! - then immediately return to their conversation to start exactly where they had just left off, without even a pause! Passengers in the car can be left with their mouths open as they may not have even seen the yellow car approaching - lots of laughter had on those trips. No doubt more to come!
