This is a NIGHT Cache and as such can only be attempted after sunset!
This NIGHT only cache is set along a public bridleway in the Lamorna Valley. The co-ordinates take you to the start of the trail. Unlike normal cache hunts which are done by GPS location, night caching uses the guidance of waymarkers that are only visible at night. The published set of GPS co-ordinates will give the starting point for a night cache trail. The waymarkers will then only reveal themselves when struck by torch light, becoming visible as a very bright dot. The stronger the source light, the brighter they will glow. Start at the PUBLIC BRIDELEWAY sign and the 1st of 12 way markers will reveal it’s self, follow the trail of markers to the cache, which is hidden under the 12th double marker (If they move it might not be the cache!).
Once found there are markers to guide to back along the trail.
1. Most important, bring a geocaching partner!
2. Take everything you need to stay warm and safe when finding a cache at night. This includes a powerful torch/flashlight plus a spare and spare batteries, warm clothes, mobile phone, printed cache details (a useful alibi proof in case of muggle questioning), a watch, map of the local area and bag with strong fastenings to avoid items being lost.
3. Have plenty of time to find the cache. Do not underestimate how much more difficult it can be to find a cache in the dark.
4. It is useful to set your GPSR to track your route in case you need to rely on it to get you back out of the area.
5. Look above AND below your eye level when travelling in the dark so you do not walk into low branches or fall into ditches.
6. When you are looking for the next reflective waymarker, hold the torch/flashlight beside your head at the same level as your eyes. Light reflects back from the Nightcaching Waymarkers at exactly the same angle as they are received. Holding the light source as close to your eyes as possible will give the brightest reflected light.
7. Always check the ground carefully before you leave a cache site in case you have dropped anything.
8. Remember, there are many animals that like to venture out at night. So if you see a pair of reflected light dots, check they do not belong to something first before heading towards it! :)
