WWC - WORLD WIDE
CACHE
This's an amazing cache
formed by five physical caches around the world.
Each cache contains the
coordinates to the next one. The first continent is America,
followed by Africa, Oceania/Australia, Asia and Europe.
You have two ways of
getting this cache by doing a trip around the world (this is the
best way, I would love to do it) or gathering a world wide team of
friends to help with the search.
RULES
- In Each
cache around the world, the finder must log the found it and write
the team members so far. This way we can confirm that a real
world wide team his working together.
Example:
In America Cache, the local
finder must write in the found it log the name of the Europe team
member.
In South Africa Cache, the local
finder must write the in the found it log the names of Europe and
Americas team members.
And so on...
In the last cache, the local
finder must write in the found it log the names of all team
members.
- To show that
they are a real team. All team members must write notes on all the
steps around the world.
- The five
teams working together must be unique, one team must only
participate in one group. If one of the teams participate in
another group, that group findings will be deleted.
- You can
write notes saying you are available to participate, and when you
find a team mate, please delete your previous log.
- All finding
logs will be verified in cache log book, if there is a found it log
without the log in logbook the all series will be deleted.
- Only after
the last cache is found, the all series will be validated, so if
after a long time no one finish the last cache, all other findings
in that serie will be deleted.

VERY IMPORTANT
ALL LOGS AND NOTES MUST BE WRITTEN IN
ENGLISH.
Geocaching rules says that only the one that finds and
signs the log book can register the found
it.
The
others must only write notes.

[SPY_Team]
Now you pass all your
steps, now it's time to go to the last cache is placed in Gerês

It connects Bracara Augusta to Asturica Augusta.
Information:
Geira is the popular
name given to the part of the roman road XVIII - the Antonino
itinerary - in the Gerês Mountain, inside the Peneda-Gerês National
Park (PNPG).
PNPG in collaboration
with the Archaeology Unit at Universidade do Minho and with the
support of the Archaeology Institute at Universidade de Coimbra,
has been promoting its study and valuation, producing new knowledge
on this so important and well preserved road, and ensuring a
systematic update of its epigraphy.
This introductory road
guide to Geira aims to inform the park visitors on the visible
remaining's of the roman times, on several places on the water
reservoir borders - next to the dam of Vilarinho das Furnas - and
between Albergaria and Portela do Homem, along the valley of river
Homem.
The data being supplied
here is based on the available bibliography and the studies carried
out in 1979 and 1985-87 (by the Archaeology Unit at Universidade do
Minho) and later in 1992, more thoroughly, with the co-operation of
Archaeology department at the Peneda-Gerês National Park (PNPG).
This guide also includes the parts of the roman road XVIII that
cross the Natural Park of Baixa Limia - Mountain of Xurés, in
Galiza, Spain (these two parks are combined into an European
National Park). Thanks are due the excellent relationship between
the staff in these two institutions; there is a sincere hope that
this co-operation will be fruitful in the near future, as a
contribution to the history research of a common past of two
country brothers.
This guide also joins
the celebration of the centenarian of the works of Martins Capella
on the Milestones of the Conventus Bracaraugustanus in
Portugal.
