At the published coordinates you will find a small container
with details of a fairly short offset. Use this offset to locate
the final cache. It's not very far away. Note that the bearing
given is true, not magnetic.
The cache is located in the proximity of an unfenced pond so
please be careful and watch young ones near the water.
There are houses nearby that overlook this spot so please be
discrete and mindful of possible window-lurking muggles. Also
please rehide the cache and waypoint securely.

Auckland Mega Jigsaw
Challenge
This is one of the caches in the
Auckland Mega Jigsaw Challenge series. The challenge is to find a
series of caches and retrieve jigsaw pieces, and then race to find
the
final cache. To find the final cache you
will first need to find all of the jigsaw pieces and assemble
them together to reveal its coordinates.
The jigsaw pieces are all
located in geocaches placed in the greater Auckland area and may be
found in three ways:
| 1. All caches
placed by funkymunkyzone and/or mm1968 with the prefix AMJC, and a
number, in the cache title will include 2 pieces of the jigsaw
permanently affixed to the inside of the cache container, along
with a plastic bag containing a number of copies of these pieces.
You can find these caches and take one copy of the pieces, or
photograph them if the supply of copies has run out. All jigsaw
pieces required to complete the puzzle, including pieces that
appear as FTF bonus pieces, will appear as one of these standard
pieces in an AMJC cache. |
| 2. All of the
caches mentioned in number 1, above, will also include an extra
jigsaw puzzle piece that should be taken away by the first finder
of the cache (the FTF) as a special FTF bonus. The more you FTF,
the more bonus pieces you will collect and the quicker you might be
able to get the jigsaw completed. These pieces give a temporary
advantage only as all pieces will be included as standard pieces in
one of the AMJC series caches. |
| 3. One copy of
each jigsaw puzzle piece will also be located in an entirely random
cache in the greater Auckland area. The locations of these pieces
will not be published anywhere. If you find one of these, please
photograph it and leave it where it is. These pieces will be moved
randomly and will be removed from play when those pieces appear in
the caches mentioned in number 1 (as those caches are placed and
published). This third option is largely included to ensure that
this final cache is solvable (albeit in an almost impossible
fashion) upon publication. |
