Geocache Description:

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

All you have to do to complete this challenge is find seven caches.

The challenging part is that:

1. Each ONE of those SEVEN caches must start with a DIFFERENT letter; and
2. The letters must make up the name SOWERBY; and
3. All seven caches must be found on ONE calendar day.


When you log this cache as found you must list the seven caches in the following format:

S - Sunday Stroll #2 - GC3FXYK - 29 March 2013
O - Old Gimmers CL cache #1 - GC2RNF5 - 29 March 2013
W - Woody #9 - GC46HXF - 29 March 2013
E - Eye Spy with My Little Eye #7 - GC46HW6 - 29 March 2013
R - Round The Bend #1 - GC46HT0 - 29 March 2013
B - 5 Bar #18 - GC46J1E - 29 March 2013
Y - YMS #45: Sutton Park - GC28MPP - 29 March 2013


Rules for the challenge:

1. Only the FIRST letter of the cache counts.
2. For caches beginning with numbers or symbols (for example '#"!*), the first letter after these counts.
3. All previous finds count so if you think you've had a SOWERBY day already then have a look back to claim the cache, but remember that all SEVEN finds must have been during ONE calendar day.
4. All types of caches count - regular, multi, event, earthcache ... whatever!
5. You can find any number of caches over the one day as long as you can make the word SOWERBY for the challenge.
6. Anyone logging this cache as found without displaying the qualifying caches, including the GC codes and the date found, will have their log deleted.


Rule 2 says "For caches beginning with numbers or symbols (for example '#"!*), the first letter after these counts." By way of example this means:
> HWS 5 Smiths Stone starts with a letter H, it doesn't start with a number, so it can't be used.
> YMS #45: Sutton Park starts with a letter Y. so it can be used as a Y but not as a S.
> 5 Bar #18 starts with a number, so ignore the number and use the letter B.


I reserve the right to delete logs if they don't qualify.


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

You must sign the paper log in the cache to be able to log online as "Found". I reserve the right to delete your online log if you haven't signed the paper log in the cache.
