Geocache Description:


This cache is all that remains of the Bonus cache from GITG2 event (all the beer has gone - sorry!)

It involved a customised jigsaw which had pieces spread throughout the caches set for the event - some in easy to get to caches and some in caches that involved long or strenuous walks. The hope was that after 2 days caching enough pieces would have been found that there wouldn't be too many gaps and the hidden numbers would be revealed (or could be guessed). What was really amazing was that out of the 60 pieces, a massive 57 of them made it back to the event on the Saturday night (The last 3 pieces were found on the Sunday morning)

The completed jigsaw looked like this with the final co-ords superimposed on the top

All you have to do now is find the first cache box with the jigsaw pieces in it, complete the jigsaw and read off the co-ordinates to the final box (Its a lot easier now we have given you the picture to work with :-) There are plenty of picnic benches nearby where you can get to work on the puzzle!)

Please replace the jigsaw box where you found it after you have completed the puzzle!

 

Thanks to McKryton for the original idea for this cache and the means to make this cache possible.

Come cachers and puzzlers
Who search high and low
So keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the arrow's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to find
For the times they are a-changin'

The times they are a changin' by Bob Dylan
