This cache has been archived.

TwigNZ: Whilst there are several people still to log their attendance, I think it's time to take these off the map.

Thank you to everyone who came along this year and chose to spend time with me at Kimberley Reserve. I hope you enjoyed your time and can join me again next year for the 5th running of the Cannonball Run :)

So what's this particular event all about?

A "tidy up before we leave" event to finish off the geocaching camping weekend for those who are staying at the Kimberley Reserve, and any others who may not be able to attend the whole weekend but can come along to this. Everyone is welcome.

Council rubbish bags have been provided, and I'll bring along suitable containers to put recycling into.

Let's leave the place better than we found it! laugh

You'll even earn a souvenir for your efforts (CITO 2024 Season 1)

Please Note: FTF logs will not be allowed on this event. Events are 'attended' rather than 'found'.

 

The mainstay of the weekend will be based at the Kimberley Reserve, on the outskirts of Levin. This reserve allows Motor Homes and Camping (for a maximum of 2 nights) that is completely free of charge. You can learn more from the council website Kimberley-Reserve-Levin.

Camping is by permit only. You can sort out your own (free) permit using their online booking form on the link above or else there is a security guard that goes around the campground at about 7pm each evening, and they can issue permits on the spot. They are still free to do it this way.

 

The facilities there are rudimentary but more than adequate. There are toilets and changing rooms available, drinking water, and good mobile reception here.

Nestled right by the Ohau river, the reserve is no more than 8km max (driving distance) from all the facilities of Levin such as supermarkets, cafes and takeaways, fuel, shops etc.

For anyone who wants to attend the weekend but would prefer a tad more luxury than available at Kimberley, there is a Motor Camp in Levin, as well as plenty of Motels etc to choose from.
