… it can be the starting
point for an international cooperation as well: This cache is just
one cache of a set of 24 caches named "IMC No. 2 …" (IMC =
International Multi-Cache). These caches are hidden in 12 Countries
worldwide: AU = Australia, CA = Canada, DK = Denmark, FR = France,
DE = Germany, JP = Japan, LU = Luxembourg, MX = Mexico, NL =
Netherlands, PT = Portugal, ZA = South Africa, ES = Spain. In each
country there is a "primary cache" like this one and a "secondary
cache" that can only be found with "hints" distributed to all
primary caches. The 12 primary caches are named "IMC No. 2
P-x - yyy" and the 12 secondary caches "IMC No. 2 S-x
- zzz" where x is the country code given above and yyy and zzz can
be any additional name. The hints for the secondary caches are
printed on "lists of hints" that are inside the primary caches. As
the primary caches are scattered all over the world it will either
require a lot of travelling or - and that is the intention of the
IMC No. 2 - international cooperation: If you want to find the
secondary cache as well, you should contact finders of other
primary IMC No. 2 caches and exchange the hints. And please
don't be a poor sport! Never publish these hints anywhere! Not
in a log report or on any web side. The hints shall only be
exchanged / traded between geocachers that found the primary caches
and want to search the secondary caches.
The IMC No. 2 team wish you good luck!

Sintra
“This is a
place of some mystery. Place of magical and contemplation quality.
There’s evidence of human presence and influence since the
Neolithic Period. Inhabited since prehistory times, known as
“Cyntia” (Moon) to the Celts. “Mons Lunae” (Moon’s Mount) to the
Romans. “Xentra” to the Arabs and later the medieval “Sentria” or
“Suntria” (Shinning
Star”).
Peninha
From the top,
in a clear, sunny day it can be seen at south, Cape Espichel
and Arrabida Mountain and at north, Cape Carvoeiro
and Berlengas Islands. One can also comtemplate the whole
range of Sintra Mountain while feeling the wind.
