Geocache Description:

The original K2O Tour Final is no longer available so this is the new Final.

Do not go to the listed co-ordinates. The cache is not there.
They are the best place to leave the motorway to start the tour (if approaching from the south).


To find this cache it is necessary to find the 10 caches in this series. They are on a Kaiapoi to Ohoka and back 20km bike ride I do now and again. The caches can be done in any order, but are designed as a pleaseant rural bike ride. The ride out is on gravel roads or tracks and the ride back mostly on sealed roads. All except one can be done by car. The other requires a walk/bike of a few hundred metres. There are other caches on or near the route as well.

Somewhere in each of the caches is a letter and number needed to calculate the location of this cache. Remember to look for and record these.
