Wellington City Council, like many councils around the country, has invested a lot of time and money in new mountain bike and walking tracks in the last five to ten years.
One area that has received a lot of attention is Waimaphihi Polhill Reserve. Three new tracks include Highbury Fling, Transient and Serendipity; since this cache was published Clinical and Ikigai have been added.
The Highbury Fling track is an well-formed and easy 1.7km track that connects Transient and Ashton Fitchett Drive to the top of Highbury Road, the Zealandia fenceline, and George Denton Park. The track is two-way dual-use (mountain bike and pedestrian), and can be busy at times, particularly early in the morning and in the evening with dog walkers, and at lunchtimes and weekends with runners and mountain bikers. Mountain bikes should give way to pedestrians but in reality this doesn't always work, so be alert.
This cache is the third in a series of four. The first is Serendipity, the second is Transient and the fourth is Planet Ride. The first three contain codes required to solve the location of the fourth. If you are doing all four at once, start at Aro Street and ascend via Transient, doing each cache in order.
Note that due to changes to the track configuration when Ikigai and a new overbridge were opened in late 2020/early 2021, this cache is now on Transient!
Please ensure that the cache is re-hidden exactly as you found it. Please bring your own pen, and don't forget to retrieve the codes (c and x) required for Planet Ride.
