This cache is the sixth of a series of micros that take you on a walk around the Harrington Waters Estate. In keeping with the power consumption of micro-circuits it is best described as a low power trail.
The trail consists of 12 caches on a route that starts and ends near the Harrigan's Hotel carpark. All caches in the series are micros of varying sizes from nano to nearly small. Three of them have been around for a while and incorporated into the Trail; the other 9 are new.
The caches are:
The circuit is around 4 Km in length and can be started at any cache and followed around and back to the starting point. If started at cache #1 then a convenient parking place it at the listed parking waypoint. The circuit is suitable for both walking and cycling and never exceeds terrain 1.5.
It would be a good idea to have a log rolling tool. It will reduce the level of frustration in replacing the logs and certainly help preserve them. A toothpick, whilst not ideal, will serve the purpose.
Cache is listed as micro but it's a very small micro. I have great difficulty finding "nano" caches and swore I would never place one. But I just could not resist this container. So here I go again.
The original placement was in a tree beside the river but it disappeared regularly. My belief is that it was just too realistic to the Avian population so I am trying it in a different - less likely to be muggled - location.
Here are my vital statistics.
- In real life I am a living creature.
- My name derives from Greek and Latin origins.
- There are about 4,500 species of my genus.
- Some describe me as sociable.
- I am found all around the world in temperate and tropic latitudes.
- I am often referred to in literature and folk tales.
- I like the dark.
- I am a survivor.
- Obviously I am a preferred food for birds.
But where am I?
Please replace the cache as you find it.
As with all nanos the cache contains only a mini log. Bring a sharp pencil!
Congrats to Browngang for the FTF in its original incarnation. That was a record time for a FTF in Harrington - published at 1545 found at 1619.
So lets see how this new one goes.
Cache has now been moved off the boat. The wreck was being damaged by searching. In some places it is extremely rotten.
9 - Jan -2013: Cache replaced with a magnetic version of the same container.
