Zootastical Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

The Silver Snitch: This cache was placed many, many years ago when our Seeker was a kid who loved rolling down hills and mounds. The gardens have some great spots for this. It has seen both he and his Elf brother travel through senior school in the school up the Rd.
The cache is missing in action and nowhere I can see. As the Seeker is about to finish Uni now and The Golden Elf is finishing High school perhaps it is a sign that it is time to retire this cache and open it up to someone else.

Geocache Description:


THIS CACHE IS BY A KID FOR KIDS!
THE CHALLENGE BY THE SEEKER of THE SILVER SNITCH is:
WHICH TEAM CAN GET THIS AS A FTF USING THEIR KIDS???


(Adults are allowed to HELP but KIDS ARE IN CHARGE OF THE GPS!

Once the challenge is over adults can do it too....BUT if you have kids you still should let them be in charge.

The Zoo is nearby so the cache has an ANIMAL THEME. Please stick to it.

It is a great spot to spend the day or have a break. It has lots and lots of places to hide. Well, we saw lots of muggles playing hide and seek. But YOU might need a few minutes to hide because THERE'S TOO MANY good places to hide. There's lots of room to run as well, and even hills to roll down.

(***2017 UPDATE: The cache is somewhat smaller now and no longer has room for swaps.......but due to the fact that the Seeker, was only a little boy when he wrote this, chose the spot and rolled down the hills......(He is now in UNI.) ...I am leaving the original description in place. Caches by little people, for little people...are I believe very special.)It is a regular cache in a square lunch box covered in black plastic tape with lots and lots of animals inside.
Please make sure you cover it well, so rain and wind can not wash away the covering.
