Geocache Description:

!...This cache is only available during the hours of Darkness...!

This challenge should not be attempted alone or during the day


To solve this you should know what "Camouflage FireTacks" are.

Also a compatible Garmin GPS or an Android phone in order to receive instructions from a Wireless Beacon or from The aEther would be an advantage ,(Ethercache App availble free to download online)

However an alternative start location is available if you do not have a suitable device.

The cache itself is not at the above co-ordinates, they are however, the start of your search for it...

SPRING 2015

GEO-CRIME is on the increase, Government osterity measures are in full force...Worldwide economic pressure & mass civil unrest combined with an unprecedented number of natural diasasters has led to the emergence of organised GEO-Criminal syndicates. Reports of GEOCACHES being snatched in broad daylight bagged up,& bundled into the backs of vehicles & GAME PIECES being kidnapped with ransoms demanded have escalated. Black Market racketeers have forced the price of a Fully signed LOG BOOK to an all time high as share values fall.The scrap value alone of a NANO has risen tenfold in a month.Union Members have voted for national strikes calling for TRAVELBUG's to refuse to travel as the cost of fuel spirals out of control. CACHE OWNERS protesting around the world have called for an international response demanding that action be taken to combat this growing global epidemic.

A State of Alert has been declared

This problem is no longer in someone elses backyard


The Head of the i-spy Special Operations Department has asked for YOU in particular to undertake this task ...................................

It seems that one of their chaps has been rather clumsy & has misplaced some sort of " Top Secret Geo-Container ",, dont ask me how........?, anyway we have evidence to suggest that a network of devilishly clever Geo-Container Disposal Operatives (dont laugh these Crooks mean business) headed by the "The Hangman" are now in possession of the missing Container

Retrieve that Container & its Contents.....ASAP

The Geo-Crime Team have discovered a serious breach in our security system & have uncovered a mole operating within our Organization who we believe to be on Hangman's payroll. The mole, code named "The Jackpot" is transmitting vital information concerning whereabouts of the Container.

Assist one of our Field Operatives who has the mole tracked down & under close observation in a Safe House at the Published Co-ordinates.You will receive the digital transmission here. To ensure the identity of the Field Op & the Mission are not compromised the Field Operative will remain out of sight

Intel suggests that The mole has left this information at another nearby location, move to this area if you cannot accquire it digitally.(See Additional Waypoints).

Otherwise get close enough to eavesdrop in on "The Jackpot" in order to intercept the Super Secret Broadcasting.

NOTE:The JACKPOT is password-protected and can only be used by the Programmer, The JACKPOT is used only to transmit digital information & is of no monetary value

The Latest Intel reports have revealed that if Hangman is involved he will always leave his tell tale trademark footprints the "FIRETACK" they will ultimately lead you to his Lair..!

.......Hurry...Time Is Running Out...Dont Hang About ........

Once contact has been established with "The Jackpot" & the 2 pieces of highly Classified Data has been obtained this will lead you to a Marker Trail, indicated by a solo Amber Orange FireTack

Follow the markers.!

They will lead you to the cache area.They are NOT deployed in uniform distances apart & may be found at different heights , .

Firetacks work best when a Flashlight is held at the same height as your eyeballs --Think... Head Lamp....FireTacks are less visible when the torch is held at waist level..Intermediate stages are marked with Diamond White & the Start/Finish with single Amber Orange . .

You will need to use a Tiny Bit of GEO-Sense to figure this cache out when you touch down at GZ

Please take the time to replace the cache back properly before you leave , after all it is dark ...so double double check check...!

Don't waste your time coming to check this out during the hours of daylight, as there are no suprises for you in the terrain, .

It would be a wise move to bring some equipment with you - this may include a mobile phone, Spare batteries, Torch & maybe some spare underwear too...!

GPS units must be enabled to accquire the Data and/or your Mobile Phone Internet connections activated,a suitable Data plan may also be required for some phone users.

YOUR MISSION

Obtain the Co-ordinates for the Marker Trail, Follow the Markers to Locate the Cache...!


Goodluck and Godspeed to YOU


No Trees were harmed in the making of this cache. ...!

When logging your find could you please state which way you started the search either the Chirp or the Cheap way ..!

Thanks & Well done to Mr & Mrs Wydffa for being First To Find
