Lake Kainui (also known as Lake D) is located within the Kainui peat bog in the Horsham Downs area, north of Hamilton. It is a shallow peat lake which has important ecological values. Due to its locality, the lake is highly peat-influenced, giving the water a brown/tea-coloured appearance. It suffers from regular cyanobacterial blooms, and contains invasive species catfish, rudd and gambusia (www.lernz.co.nz). Lake Kainui has been managed by the Lake Kainui Landcare Group since 1966. Fencing off from grazing animals and plantings around the perimeter aim to reduce sedimentation and improve overall water quality
A nice walk around Lake D. It is about 2km round trip and is used by a number of people so becareful when accessing the cache as they can appear at any time.
The Cache is not at the posted coordinates. In order to get the final coordinates you will need to go to the waypoint where you will find a 3 digit number on the fence and then do the maths.
Cache is at S 37 40.ABC E 175 13.DEF
Where:
A =2nd number minus 1
B = 1st number plus 3rd number minus 2nd number
C = 1st number plus 2nd number minus 3rd number
D = 2nd number
E = 3rd number
F = 2nd number divided by 2
Checksum for all digits 34
