Geocache Description:

A rather unusual cache where the final co-ordinates will only be revealed after some team-building.

The number on the image is significant!


This cache should bring you a new caching experience, you will need a smartphone with internet access AND a GPS/device that you can input co-ordinates AND a pen/paper AND some friends!!


Ask anyone from Nottingham who is going for a night out or on a shopping trip where they should meet, and the answer is pretty much always the same, 'See you at the lions'.



Once your team has amassed there follow the instructions, you will be taken on a relatively short walk to the team-building location and, (if you have the required amount of team players) the co-ordinates for the final cache will appear.

These are the directions bulletpointed :

1. Go to the posted coordinates

2. Open http://www.chilehead.us/mob on your phone.

OR follow this link - START

3. Verify that the accuracy displayed is reasonable (hopefully less than 40 feet or so.)

4. When prompted, enter the number 1031

This will open a screen that will navigate you to the "team-building" co-ords.

Once the website verifies you are at that location, the counter bumps up.

When the counter reaches the required team size, the co-ordinates for the cache will be revealed.

Enter the coords into your GPS right away!

YOU HAVE NOW FINISHED WITH THE INTERNET, ADD WAYPOINT TO YOUR SMARTPHONE ON THE GEOCACHING APP OR USE YOUR GPS.


If people leave the team-building area, the page you are looking at may not show the co-ords anymore, (it takes about a minute.)

My thanks goes to the US developer and cacher ChileHead, who went to the trouble of developing this idea and the similar 'Intercache'.

My thanks also to the UK Reviewers and particularly Antheia who decided to allow this rather unusual submission.

I hope that you enjoy the walk, the history and the team-building!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE LIVELEYS ON THEIR ANNIVERSARY AND TO 'TEAM GUINEA PIG' ON THE JOINT FIRST TO FIND!
