GSS12: Remote! - Geolympix Solar System Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Simply Paul: Since I was in the area today... <Throat-slit emoji>
I shot some failed timelapse video for GIFF here - the battery went flat before the narrowboat came through the lock - while digging this cache out. Thanks for finding it folks - I hope you had fun! Cache removed.

For those wondering, this cache represented 'One Light Day' from the sun. Or one 365.2422th of a Light Year. So now you know!

Geocache Description:

The Geolympix Solar System Series was inspired by a visit to Zürich in 2010, where I saw a 1:1bn scale solar system. GSS caches are hidden at scale distances from the 'sun'; the golden globe atop West Wycombe church.

Remote! The co-ords given for this cache are wrong. They'll put you in the right general area (within 2 miles) but they need to be corrected using the numbers you'll find in Eris. The exact nature of this location will become clear when you read the log book in the cache. It represents something our solar system - and every solar system - has and will help you visualise the true scale of both our local solar system and how it relates to our nearest neighbours in space.
