… 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!

you search for this cache: You'll have your experience greatly
enhanced. ;-)
"Feel The
Wind"
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.
