Geocache Description:


The cache is at the stated co-ordinates but is a CHALLENGE CACHE so please read the description below for logging requirements:-

All you have to do to complete this challenge is find 7 caches, which is easy right ???

The slightly challenging part is that each ONE of those SEVEN caches must start with a DIFFERENT letter, the letters must make up the Word DAWLISH.

For e.g

D - DRIFTWOOD - Found on 09/06/12
A - A GATEWAY TO... - Found on 10/06/12
W - WWFM XI - DEN OF INIQUITY - Found on 09/06/12
L - LANGDON HOSPITAL VIEW - Found on 09/06/12
I - ITS NOT A CAR PARK - Found on 09/06/12
S - SMUGGLERS CACHE - Found on 10/06/12
H - HALDON GOLF CLUB - Found on 09/06/12

The slightly MORE challenging part is that you have 48hrs in which to find your qualifying caches.

Any cache type will do:- Trad, Puzz, Multi, EC, Webcam etc

Below are the rules and regs for the challenge:

1. Each cache can only be used once. So if you found Archies Seaside Stroll, you can only use the A not the S.
2. Only the FIRST letter of the cache counts.
3. All previous finds count so if you think you've had a DAWLISH day already then dig it out and claim the cache, but remember that all 7 finds must have been within 48hrs.
4. Event caches count - Regular, Mega, CITO, FlashMob... whatever!
5. You can find any number of caches over those 2 days aslong as you can make the word DAWLISH for the cahllenge.
6. The caches can be found anywhere in the world as long as they are found and logged within the 48hrs time limit.
7. There is no requirement to log you intent to complete the challenge, all you need to do once youve found the cache is write your finds in you found it log as per the example above.
8. Anyone logging this cache as found without displaying there qualifying caches will have their log deleted.
9. Your 48 hr period starts at 0001hrs on the day you start your caching and finishes at 2359hrs the following day. NOT from when you find the first cache, they have to be 2 consecutive days not 3, as per the example above.
10. Caches beginning with symbols i.e '#"!*() and so on DO NOT COUNT.
11. YOU CAN ONLY USE A CACHE ONCE...SO IF YOU ARE ATTEMPTING MULTIPLE CHALLENGES IN THE SAME WEEK YOU CANNOT USE ANY OF THE CACHES FOUND TO SPELL "TEIGNMOUTH" OR "BISHOPSTEIGNTON".

The cache rating is based on the overall ground covered finding the caches and the difficulty of the cache at GZ.

Anything else I will add later and edit as any queries arise...

Enjoy !!
