Master Mariner: As a finder, for another of my Wherigos, has admitted to solving this before leaving home I do not feel that the spirit of Wherigos is being upheld.

Geocache Description:


  This Wherigo uses the Isle of Dogs as its playground. The starting point is towards the south of the Isle of Dogs, near Island Gardens, and finishes towards the north near the business area.


You will first be taken to a large open area where your GPS should quickly get a good fix. From there, you will be directed to a crossroads and, once there, you decide whether you wish to go north, east, south or west. When you arrive at your chosen compass point a set of zones will be chosen for you at random. Passing through the zones will, eventually, reveal the location of the cache.


The cache is only available from sunrise to sunset and the area may not be accessed before 0800hrs or after 2100hrs.


The cache container is a 35mm film container with log book. Once you are in the Cache Zone a spoiler picture will be added to your inventory that also shows the co-ordinates. There is also a phone-a-friend item in the inventory should you get stuck or have problems. I hope you don't have to use it!


There is a lot of water on the Isle of Dogs so remember that getting from "A" to "B" may not be as simple as following the arrow. A map of the Isle of Dogs could be a big help to you!


The "zones" have been made extra large to give you a sporting chance of getting in to them if you are near high rise buildings. You only have to enter a zone to allow the next one to become visible. There are no questions to be answered.
 

 
  To download the Wherigo cartridge you'll need to go here. If you have no idea what a Wherigo cartridge is then go here and have a read.
 
 
  When you arrive in the Cache Zone, you should be presented with an un-lock code and the time it has taken you to complete the Wherigo. It would be appreciated if you could include the duration in your cache find log. Could I also ask that you do not include in your Geocache log or Wherigo log mention of the zones you passed through nor include any photos or text that may give away the cache location.
 
 
  Parking can be very difficult from Monday through Friday but is a lot easier at weekends. The DLR or a bus is probably the best way to get to the starting point during business hours.
