"Partial opening only is proposed between Pararaha Track and Zion Hill Track. The remainder of the track between Zion Hill and Lone Kauri Rd will not be included."

Geocache Description:

Think of a 3 digit number. Any 3 digit number will do, as long as the first and last digits are not the same. (Zero fill numbers less than 100, eg '006').
The above coordinates are for the car park.

  1. Now reverse that number, and subtract the smaller number from the larger.
  2. Then to this new 3 digit number (again, zero fill numbers less than 100), add its reverse.
  3. Finally, reverse this result.

You should now have a 4 digit number, nnnn, which you replace into the given latitude and longitude each (S 36 5n.nnn, E 174 2n.nnn)

Now go find it! The cache is a 900ml Prestige container. The track can be slippery after rain, so take good footwear and consider taking a longer walk while you're here.
