The Road to Rio: Knock-out Round Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Chuffbert: Time to put this series to bed. Unfortunately, a number of the caches have been mugged and two of the sites have become very bad tipping grounds, not the places I'd want people rooting around. The connected nature of these caches means that it's really all or nothing. Likewise, the complexity of the puzzles means resiting is very problematic. Upkeep is proving difficult so it is time to say goodbye to Rio. Does free up a number of sites for new caches!

Geocache Description:

2014 promises to be a great year of sport, with the FIFA Football World Cup smack in the middle.  To celebrate the imminent victory of somebody other than England, I am placing a series of caches that trace the route of the successful team to the final itself.  Read the instructions for each carefully.  Here's hoping you reach your GOAL!


 


The cache is not located at the co-ordinates above, but is not a million miles away. Once you have fought your way out of the tricky group stage, your country faces a crunch knock-out game. Win and you are in the last eight; lose and you are on the plane home. Of course, home advantage always helps!

When you find the cache, don't forget to make a note of the two countries whose flags you find inside - you'll need that information to reach the final. Please re-hide carefully.
