Dalesman: As this cache seems to have unresolved issues, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Geocache Description:


We saw this type of Puzzle on a recent holiday so thought we would bring it back up North.

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.

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

For example

S - Seven Seas – Found on 01/08/13 (GCxxxx)
K - Knight Knight. - Found on 02/08/13 (GCxxxx)
I - Its Easy Really - Found on 01/08/13 (GCxxxx)
P - Power Lines - Found on 01/08/13 (GCxxxx)
T -   Ten Pins - Found on 02/08/13 (GCxxxx)
O – Off the Rails - Found on 02/08/13 (GCxxxx)
N – New Street - Found on 01/08/13 (GCxxxx)
 

The SEVEN caches which can be any type must be found over 2 consecutive days (within 48hrs)

Below are the rules for the challenge:

1. Only the FIRST letter of the cache counts.
2. All previous finds count so if you think you've had a SKIPTON day already then have a look back to claim the cache, but remember that all 7 finds must have been within 2 consecutive calendar days.
3. Event caches count - Regular, Mega, CITO, FlashMob... whatever!
4. You can find any number of caches over those 2 days as long as you can make the word SKIPTON for the challenge.
5. The caches can be found anywhere in the world as long as they are found and logged within the 48hrs time limit.
6. Anyone logging this cache as found without displaying the qualifying caches including GC code will have their log deleted.
7. The 48hr period is just 2 consecutive calendar days.
8. Caches beginning with symbols i.e '#"!*() or numbers, the first letter after these counts.

The cache rating is based on the overall ground covered finding the caches, the cache itself is a simple hide at GZ.






Wow congratulations to The Gom Squad on a very quick FTF
