Scooby Doo and the Ghostly Goring Gadabout Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

redirected male: More things have gone missing. Although this is a nice place to walk, a lot of muggles come here and a lot of kids play here. The cache doesn't get done enough now, to warrant laying out more money on it. Regrettably this has to go. [:(]

Geocache Description:


There have been some ghastly ghoulish goings on down at Goring Gap. Scooby Doo and his friends need rescuing and need your help to do it. They have been captured by a ghost, but it left three vital clues to solve the mystery. It's up to you to find them.

The listed co-ordinates are for your starting point. There is parking there.

  • CLUE 1 - Go to N50 48.505 W000 25.884 - Here you will find a large tree with four trunks. Round the back of the tree there is a stick. Pull out the stick very gently and you will find the "ghost" has left a watch. Note down the time and convert it to digital time. In other words if the watch says quarter to seven write this down as 6.45. This will give you ABC. Got it? Well done you are well on your way to solving the mystery.
  • CLUE 2 - Go to N50 48.438 W000 25.887 - Here you'll find a horizontal ivy covered tree trunk. Look for a bracelet. How many coloured beads are there? This will give you D. Excellent, well done, just one more part of the mystery to solve.
  • CLUE 3 - Go to N50 48.386 W000 25.887 - Here you will find a fence. Down the bottom of one of the short uprights you will find a slip of paper. In the triangle there is a number written down. This number is EF. Fantastic! Now it's time to go rescue our chums.

Assemble the clues so that you have N50 48.ABC W000 25.DEF Got it? Then what are you waiting for?

You are looking for a small ammo box. In it there are lots and lots of Scooby Doo goodies. Good luck and happy hunting. There is extensive tree cover so you may find your gps reception is a little iffy!

This is intended as a bit of fun for the kids to do during the summer holidays, but adults are more than welcome to join in the fun too. Please leave the swapsies for the kids though eh!

You don't have to swap Scooby stuff but if you can that will be great. I will try to top it up from time to time.

Please carefully replace the clues as you found them.
