Night Cache Nightmare!!!!
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
As the name suggests this is a night cache! It must can only be done at night, it uses TACS pinned to trees which will reflect back when a torch is shone on them. There are also 1 micro caches hidden along the route which will take you straight to a gps position.
We got all the bits and pieces together to put out this cache ages ago, we even knew where to put it out, we just had not got around to it. Then after doing a normal multi cache by night we decided it was time we got our bums in gear and put it out!
The cache is a circular walk around Budock Woods, a great area to explore in daylight, but it can be a nightmare to be in at night!!!!
The distance between the TACS varies, so dont worry if you have not seen one for a few minutes, but make sure you are always looking, even if you have only just passed a TAC.
Please insure you take plenty of batteries for your torch as being stuch in the woods in the dark would not be fun!
Not all of the cache is in the woods so if you end up looking up at the stars dont worry keep on going and look out for those TACS!!
The paths are a bit bumpy and can get muddy when wet, but that just adds to the fun, there is a short scramble to the end location but only a few feet.
The gps may be a little out at times due to tree cover, but that should not be to much of a problem.
To get the cache follow the instructions below
Park on the main street in Budock and walk up the public footpath that starts at
N50-08.790
W005-06.217
You will come to a small road, cross the road and take the public footpath infront of you.
Carry on up the path untill you get to
(The co-ords at the top of the page)
N50-08.754
W005-06.308
here look for TAC 1 to find out which way to go.
Walk past TAC 1 and keep an eye out for TAC 2, walk straight past TAC2 as well.
At TAC 3 turn right.
At TAC 4 turn right.
At TAC 5 cross the style, turn left and follow the edge of the field, until you find a new enterance into the woods down stone steps. Re enter the woods and you should see TAC 6
Walk past TAC 6
Walk down the path to TAC 7, Stand at it and look for TAC 8 when you see it walk past it on the path.
Walk straight past TAC 9
Turn left at TAC 10 (TAC 10 is 2 TACs above each other)
At TAC 11 take the right hand path.
At TAC 12 take a break go on, you have earned it and you know you want to, have a play on the swing!! When youre done swinging carry on down the path you were on to TAC 13.
Go straight past TAC 13.
At TAC 14 turn stand still and look for TAC 15.
At TAC 15 you need to find a micro with co-ords in.
Go to the given co-ords and look 360 degrees for two TACS above each other (If they are next to each other its an animal!!!)
Climb to those TACS and follow the clue to the cache.
When you have the cache, carry on down the path you were on untill you get to a road, follow this road untill you get back to the main street in Budock and your car!!
