Geocache Description:

Located around the greater area of Christchurch, this cache covers a reasonable area, a car would be the recomended means of transport.


A cache to celebrate travel in all (okay most) of its forms. Located at each of the 3 waypoints is a small piece of infomation required to obtain the final cache location.

Waypoint Planes S 43° 29.546 E 172° 32.961
Find the model number. (TE).

Waypoint Trains S 43° 32.366 E 172° 36.475
Obtain the year of construction of the tall object.
You may want to visit this site during the hours of daylight to avoid suspicion.

Waypoint Automobiles S 43° 33.956 E 172° 40.828
Note the large red numbers nearby.

To locate the cache:
add Planes and Automobiles to S 43° 35.996
add Planes and Trains to E 172° 40.395

Ignore the points and treat the coordinate as a single number when doing the addition. ie. S 43° 21.541 + 2005 = 43° 23.546

The cache itself is located nearby a site critical to these forms of transport. It is a 1 litre snaplock container. When placed, it contained stashnote, logbook, pencil, eraser, and sharpener. It also contained a buzzy bee keyring, sellotape dispenser, and Prudhoe Bear TB.

Note: This is quite a long ride on a bike if you pedal.
