Small Tree Big Cache GC1HGQD

What you’re looking for is a camouflaged ammo can, no bush whacking is required or needed.

A nice little spot that leads you down to the coast line, it’s also the logical launching pad if you’re venturing out to GC187B8 Jurassic Park but unlike Jurassic Pack this cache isn’t tide dependant and you don’t need to get your feet wet, it is brain dependant though so keep your wits about you as Small Tree Big Cache it’s the little sister cache of her big brother GC1CZ89 Big Tree Small Cache (geocache.geek.nz: Big Tree Small Cache)

This is a lovely little spot with an amazing view and you don’t need to be a goat to get there!

Please take care when you’re foraging around, you’re approx 2-3 meters from the cliff edge which runs along the coast The ground is stable, secure and well walked.

The first and only waypoint will take you directly to the final location where you can sit and admire the view while signing the log sheet. Final cache is a small camo container (large enough for coin / small swag exchange.

When placed it contained the geocoin: Destination Sweden, to Xrim (visit link)

This is an amazing Geocoin on it’s way for a race to Sweden!

(Please take care when replacing the coverings for the final as it’s a popular hang out for the local kids at night)
