It was one of these nice beautiful sunny mornings at our new place, when the doorbell rang. Curiously I opened the door thinking that one of the new neighbours had come to say hallo.
Guess what? - Who was there (again)?
Standard face, standard suit, standard dark glasses, standard smile (probably because I was looking puzzled – as usual).
I must have been a bit impolite when I was just bursting out at him on how on earth he knew where we had moved too? He smiled (you know this smile that shows that he knows it all, but is kind enough to explain this to me little stupid human guy) and said that the most recent pictures of our home are already available on Google.
I nearly fainted – not because that it was obvious where to look for this kind of information, but when I started to suspect who was the driving force behind Google …
Being a bit pale around my nose I was leaning against the door when the stranger produced a piece of paper and put it in front of my face (with a definite wicked smile).
You are doomed he said, not only are you eating too much and consequently you get gravitationally challenged, no - even better - your brain deteriorates too!
I was thinking that this was really going to ruin my day. The stranger was about to turn around and leave me behind with all the mess he just had created, when I really got upset with him!
I shouted at him that this was all totally unfair and that he will see that we are definitely fit enough to overcome any gravitational and brain challenge.
He just continued to turn away from me and looking over his shoulder he said: "Then proof it to us!"
He went down the street and gone he was. I noticed this black poodle that was going in the same direction and it seems no human was following - strange.
So this is a call to arms to demonstrate that the sub-species of Geocachers is definitely capable of overcoming our fate and that we proof our fitness to the Man in Dark.
Please follow the instructions and the parcours laid out for you. Please return all items nicely back where they belong to.
You may want to document your fitness with some pictures in your logs.
You will have to go through several stages showing your mental and physical fitness and defying gravity ;-).
Be careful! Don’t take any risks if you are unsure. Do not try Stage 3 when it is wet. Maybe have someone coming along to assist, etc.
The Final is pretty high, a bit heavy, and a standard 6m fishing rod might not be enough to get it (it is a D4.5 after all).
