Geocache Description:

My first attempt at writing a Wherigo Cartridge! Please note that the actual cache is not hidden at this location - To find it, you will need to download the cartridge Treskilling Trek and play it on a compatible device.

This Wherigo has been written in the style of an interactive multi-cache. It requires you to visit zones and interact with the items you see within the zones before it will supply you with the location for the actual cache. The zones are all situated along the Treskilling Downs section of the Clay Country Cycle Trail between Bugle and The Eden Project.

Although it is envisaged that you will complete the cartridge in one trip (on foot or a bike) from the starting coords, it is advisable to save the cartridge after completing each stage to avoid having to repeat the game in the event of a crash.
Although this trail is quiet and mostly flat, there are some hilly bits and members of Roche Angling Club are allowed to drive their cars along the trail so do take care, particularly if you have young cachers or geohounds with you.
As Wherigo's seem to have so many device-specific bugs, I have tried to write this cartridge using only simple scripts avoiding the commonly known problems. It has been succesfully tested on a Pocket PC and an Oregon 550t, but should play on any compatible device, including some mobile phones!
If cachers go so far as to say that they 'enjoy' playing this Wherigo, I may write another one with a few more fancy bits included! But for now, you'll (hopefully) find this cartridge straightforward to play and bug-free!
Please contact me through my profile if you have any feedback on how the cartridge worked (or didn't!) for you.

Many thanks to Master Mariner for his help in creating this cartridge.
