Cryptikal Massacre - Night Cache Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

Graculus: This cache has been disabled for some time and as the owner has not repaired/replaced I am archiving it.

Guidelines:[i] "You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time - normally a few weeks - in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing."[/i]

Geocache Description:


***PLEASE NOTE***

***The co-ords for this cache are for parking only and are not the final location***

Hello, and welcome to Cryptikal Massacre. We've organised this cache so that it's only available at night. ATTEMPTING THIS CACHE DURING THE DAY IS IMPOSSIBLE!

WHAT WILL YOU NEED?

  • Reasonably powerful torch (essential)

  • Sense of Humour (also essential)

THE PLOT

This cache is in two parts;

  • A video on You Tube

  • A Fire Tack trail which has to be done in the dark

THE VIDEO

First off, please excuse the rather bad acting - we did our best!

To get the co-ords for the start point you need to watch the video at the link below:-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFNI_ep6M4w

Once you have the info from the video, head for the co-ords for this listing, which is the car park for Wokefield Common, Burghfield.

THE TRACK

The co-ords from the video are for the start point. The cache isn't here! Once you reach the start point, use your torch to find the first fire tag. It'll be in a tree nearby and should stand out quite nicely in the dark when lit up. Fire tacks are much more visible if you search with your torch at eye level.

When at this tack, find the next one. Continue like this until you find two fire tacks together on one tree. This denotes the cache location. You should stop here and start your searching!

HALLOWEEN NIGHT

This cache will go live on the morning of 31st October 2007. That night, and that night only, there will be some festivities going on in the woods between the hours of 20:30 and 22:00. If you want to get the most out of this cache, we suggest that you pitch up on this night - it's gonna be ace! If you can't make it though, don't worry. The cache will be available for the foreseeable future!
