This cache has been archived.

K Krackens: We would like to thank all who have taken the time to find our cache. Sadly we have now moved house so the cache is no longer with permission.
There maybe another tales cache at some point so keep your eyes open.
Many thanks the krackens.

Geocache Description:

Are you brave enough to accept the quest, check out the caching logs below. This cache is to encourage fun logs and should contain no truths. In the spirit of the cache please give interesting logs.

This cache is placed with permission of the owner. Please do not search for this cache between 22.00 and 06.00. Please do not trespass on other people’s property. The immediate neighbours are aware of this cache.

We at the Kracken Residence look forward to you tales of woe and hardship.


This is no ordinary 5/5, you will need guile, skill, courage and down right stubbornness to retrieve the cache. This is NOT for the faint of heart, or those with medical conditions. If you think you can complete this cache with ordinary geocaching equipment you are mistaken.

You WILL need a gun ship, a swiss army knife ( i recommend this one, https://www.amazon.com/Wenger-16999-Swiss-Knife-Giant/dp/B001DZTJRQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8) a military fleet, camouflage, night vision goggles, a rifle, a space ship and a time machine.

While traversing through time and space i recommend the electronic guide , DONT PANIC, and a cacher who knows where his towel is, is not only really hip and a well together guy but one who is likely to survive. (See Douglas Adams for merchandise).

BEWARE: of the long short toothed Kwequteryiut.

This cache took me 50 years to place and i only just made it back with the help of a time traveller who kept saying Great Scott!! as an exclamation.

So as you can tell this cache is rated 5/5 for a reason. I've tried to give you a heads up with what to expect by filling in the attributes. I can't tick all the boxes sadly so you may just have to fend for yourselves.

If you are successful at retrieving this cache then you may need a strong cup of tea after to settle your nerves and collect your thoughts and if you so wish you may knock on the door and receive a beverage if we are present in this time and space.

WARNING: BEWARE of the mini Krackens, they bite, and the feline Kracken has a bad feeling about geohounds.

This cache is based upon the pants on fire cache by mankybadger. We loved it so much we thought we would bring one to Cornwall.
