Initial Cache Contents:
* A 0.5 m length of number-eight wire
* A tin of vegeterian mock duck (past its use by date)
* A set of four spark plugs (NKG BP6ES; only slightly used)
* A 10 by 5 mm Neodymium-Iron-Boron (NIB) rare earth super
magnet
* An aviation Visual Terminal Chart showing the Queenstown and
Milford areas
Directions:
The cache (Accuracy 10 m Elevation 239 m) is hidden in a 2 litre
plastic bucket within a crevice in one of the many schist tors (the
crevice has been covered with schist also)
To get there, turn west off Sate Highway 87 at a sharp 90° turn
in the road (S 45°30.440' E 170°07.159' Elevation 230 m) about 6 km
south of Middlemarch (S 45°33.796' E 170°07.052' Elevation 204 m)
onto Kidds Road (a gravel road). After going about 2.5 km, stop at
the set of gates on left (S 45°33.798' E 170°05.138' Elevation 229
m). Carefully drive through these gates (open them first :) and
park in the car park (S 45°33.854' E 170°05.200' Elevation 228 m),
the stash is about 200 m to the south.
After you find the cache (or not ;-), you may like to follow the
mown track to the left for about 30 minutes to Sutton Salt Lake
(one of few in New Zealand; bring plenty of drinking water if it is
a hot day). Continue the circuit and you will arrive back at the
beginning (You will get a spectacular view of the Rock and Pillar
Range to the west).
