Albany's Scenic Surprise (Auckland) Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Growly Bear: As there's been no cache to find for some time, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

A fairly simple cache in Albany Scenic Reserve, but there are some steep ups and downs to get there.

Due to poor coverage at the cache site the above coordinates are only a guide, so use the clue for a more detailed description.

The cache can be approached from 2 directions. Park at Parking A for a short but steep walk or Parking B for a longer up and down walk. In either case, follow the orange trail markers. There is a safe walkway parallel to the road most of the way if you want a loop walk.

The cache is suitable for children. Our 4 year old managed the shorter walk with just a little assistance.

The path is much less muddy than when we hid the cache thanks to this man: (visit link)

The cache is a camouflaged 1 litre container containing:
Logbook
Stickers
Toy Alien
Pink poodle keyring
Mini surfboard
TB Skater Bug beginning his journey
