"The Art of Language"

The cache is not at the given location, you are welcome to go there however you may get wet

Throughout the History of Literature it is always interesting to see who were friends and contemporaries of whom. Here we have two sets of literary greats from different ages who were either friends or had influence in their respective works during their time.

S 37° 40. ((A3 x D3) x (B4 +E4)) - ((E1 +C3) x C2)

E 175° 14. ((Y3 x V3) x (Z4 x U3)) + X1

Please Note:

  • You are on Private land, and we have been granted permission to enter. Please show respect at all times as the property is also used for conservation education and DOC scientific research into “Peat Lake waterways”.
  • Entry to the property is between 8.00 am and 5.00 pm (8.00PM During Daylight Savings).
  • Only enter the land at S 37° 40.772 E 175° 15.044. We are able to park in the paddock as there is a hard area within 40 meters of the gateway. If it is very wet park at the roadside staying well off the road.
  • Please leave all gates as you find them.
  • Please do not approach the birds as they may be nesting, or enter any area where research is being carried out.
  • Bring good footwear as the ground can get a little spongy after rain.
  • If you see the owner’s (Andrew & Jenny Hayes) or family please wave and say thanks for allowing us to use their farm.

I hope that you enjoy your walk around a Living Peat Lake (they are very few remaining), and yet even fewer that can support life in them.

Logging Etiquette: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning to place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or emoticon logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
