Geocache Description:

This is our first mystery cache in Singapore. With the Singaporean Puzzle Community, I believe it will only be a D1.5. For a starter it will be ok. But let’s see how the feedback is. Please let us know!

A Geochecker will be added after the FTF!

Congrats to colincorgi for the FTF. Geochecker is now active


Polar Bear Plunges are hold all over the globe, but it will be hard to do it in Singapore. Here is your chance to come as close as possible. Polar Bear Plunges are hold normally on New Year’s Day, by creating an ice hole in the middle of a lake or the sea and jumping into the water. The participants will try to come out as quick as possible, but they even sometimes feel the fish on their feet. After mastering it, they can call themselves proudly Polar Bears. The first Polar Bear Plunges go back until the early 20s of the 19th century. It started in the USA and Canada. Nowadays the event has charitable character and money is raised for different purposes.
