Geocache Description:

Another in a series around Norton based on the characters of the Pokemon Series.


The cache is not at the published coordinates! This has been selected as a start point as Zubat's live in caves or dis-used or quiet man-made structures, such as this subway which crosses over the A19. The cache is only a short walk away.

The coordinates (as well as the bonus number) can be found by completing this Wordsearch. The bonus number from the puzzle will be used to find a final cache once the rest of the series has been released. The cache is a small magnetic micro.

Some of the Pokemon have escaped from the PokePark! The next one to find is Zubat, the Poisonous Flying-type Pokemon!

Zubat is a blue, bat-like Pokémon. While it lacks eyes, it has pointed ears with purple insides and a mouth with four pointed teeth. There are two teeth on both the upper and lower jaws, and a male will have larger fangs than the female. It has purple wing membranes support by two, elongated fingers, and two long, thin, tails.

Zubat lives in abundance in caves. It has evolved to have neither eyes nor nostrils, instead navigating through dark environments with echolocation. It will leave its abode at night with a mass of other Zubat in order to seek prey. During the daytime, Zubat sleeps hanging upside down in caves or under the eaves of old buildings, avoiding sunlight at all costs. Daylight causes Zubat to become unhealthy, and prolonged exposure can even burn its skin.
