Morice Settlement Reserve
Exploring Morice Settlement Reserve.
(This was bit of a random explore I did using a app called OsmAnd. I searched for abandoned objects on the app and one showed up in Morice Settlement Reserve. I had no idea what it was or if it was still there so I pinned its location and went for a explore and I'm so glad I did as there was a creepy old shed in the forest and on the way back out I spotted a waterfall that I went off track and down the side of a hill to get to.
Morice Settlement Reserve, abandoned shed and walk tracks don't show on Google Maps and only the reserve shows on NZ Topo Maps. OsmAnd has the tracks and everything. Is only really parking space for 1-2 cars. I will have to do some more abandoned object and historic ruins explores using OsmAnd as it was lots of fun.
OsmAnd (OpenStreetMap Automated Navigation Directions) is a map and navigation app for Android and iOS. It uses the OpenStreetMap (OSM) map database for its primary displays, but is an independent app not endorsed by the OpenStreetMap Foundation. It is available in both free and paid versions; the latter unlocks the download limit for offline maps and provides access to Wikipedia points of interest (POIs) and their descriptions from within the app. Map data can be stored on the device for offline use. Using the device's GPS capabilities, OsmAnd offers routing, with visual and voice guidance, for car, bike, and pedestrian. All of the main functionalities work both online and offline.)
