How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

The listed coordinates will take you to a board containing a quick history lesson that will point you in the direction of the final location. This should be a nice and easy multi in the glorious Waitakere Ranges however you should always be aware of the conditions - the path can be slippery in places after heavy rain.

You can either do this cache as you head off into the hills and explore the many different trails that the Waitaks have to offer or you can just do the Karamatura Loop Walk and be back in the car in less than an hour.

Once you get to the sign then just answer the questions for the final location.

You're looking for a 200ml container and you won't need to leave the path to retrieve it (even if the GPS says otherwise). Please re-hide well etc once you're done.
