Geocache Description:

Do you look at puzzle caches and despair?  Does clicking on that question mark fill you with dread?  Is your geocaching map looking a bit like a scatter graph of smiley faces and blue punctuation?  Then this is the event for you!


Mystery icon

With more than eighty mystery icons in Milton Keynes alone if you avoid puzzle caches then you're missing out on a great experience. From chirps to bonuses, from night caches to liar caches there really is something for everyone out there.

I suspect the reason why many people fear the mystery icon is because of puzzle caches. In this event I aim to help demystify mysteries, by running through some common types of puzzle that you may find "out there" and providing a check list of things to check on every cache page you open. If we have time (and an Internet connection) I may even show you how to solve one or two of my own active puzzles in order to demonstrate how they work.

  • Date: Thursday 1st October 2015
  • Time: 7.30 to 9.30pm
  • Venue: Queensway Methodist Church Hall, Queensway, Bletchley, MK2 2HB

Bring your own refreshments and please take your rubbish home with you. You may wish to bring a pen and some paper with you too, in order to take notes.

Please note that I have had to pay for the venue out of my own pocket. I would be grateful if you could provide a small donation for attending, and any extra monies collected on top of the booking fee will be donated to charity.

The hall has a capacity of 80 people seated so please log a Will Attend and if it looks like this capacity may be exceeded I will have to put a cap on numbers. So logging a Will Attend earlier rather than later will be to your benefit!

I look forward to seeing you on the night!

Note change of venue and date. This event is strictly limited to 80 attendees due to the capacity of the venue. People who have a place at the event to date are below. Numbers are based on your log or if I know you and thus how many people usually cache under your name. If I have the numbers for your party incorrect, please let me know. Names written in red are cancellations and do not count towards the final tally.
