Geocache Description:

The few Whereigo caches I have done have been really fun. I hope this one offers enough of a challenge to be worth doing and easy enough that it does not become frustrating.  In an effort to tempt more Whereigo caches out here I offer the first in the Country.

I cannot take any credit for the creation of this Wherigo cartridge. This one was made by "espe2310" and is used gratefully with his permission.


A little festive Wherigo! But with a bit of a Germanic twist.

The cartridge can be played anywhere, but the dunes here at Barashi provides plenty of space for it and should leave tracks to see! You could do it anywhere that has enough room and a clear gps signal though.

It is based on the old German children's game of drawing the house of Santa Claus in one stroke without duplicating any lines, but you will be walking it out around the sand dunes!

The cartridge can be downloaded HERE

You will need to install an app to make the cartridge work. Download it, and then open it at the coordinates.  (although this one will play anywhere) It is all pretty easy even I managed it!

It has been run on a number of platforms so there should be no problems there.

The cache can be found at:

N 25° CI.FAB E055° HG.DED

Now I know it is a little early, but before we all get bogged down shopping and leaving the country there is plently of time to grab it this year!

I have tried to find a suitably festive looking hide... You are looking for a snowball!
