"The sword in the stone" V.2.0

This cache has been modified a little bit difficult due to the terrain and how I have hidden the treasure.


* - A new log book and pencil.
* - Scissors for kids.
* - GASHAPON.
* - Little beautiful stickers.
* - Linux sticker.
* - One SDRAM.
* - Video 80' CD (from GCGP2G - tnx to G.E. Nicogiorgi).
* - Linux live CD, Knoppix 6.3 (www.knoppix.org).
* - A cyalume lightstick (cut off and look).
* - VF insigna.


The terrain in the final part of the hike is more exacting, better if you have a good pair of shoes and a walking stick, be patient with your GPRs probably the signal won't so good.

Now, you can see the sword, go straight on along the path and enjoy.
Please, this is a place of cult so have respect.

The old "The sword in the stone" was:
The cache is a small rectangular plastic box.
You can park the car nearby, first go and see the abbey [N43 08.966 E11 09.275] and than take the path upwards on the left.
The cache is hidden in a niche under two big stones into the ground.
Some leaves are hiding it.

The original cache is:
  • Log book and a pencil
  • One new sun-glasses
  • A spider
  • Wacko's cards
  • a piece of mountain rope
  • some gadgets

Nonostante la giornataccia io e guarnelluccia siamo partiti alla ricerca, essendo il posto non lontano da casa. Abbiamo cercato un pò, era nascosta bene, e alla fine l'ha scovata guarnelluccia.
Manca il lapis, così abbiamo scritto sul logbook con un evidenziatore rosa, che abbiamo lasciato lì.
Grazie per il divertimento!!!
