Geocache Description:


The Red Car and the Blue Car had a race.
All red wants to do is stuff his face.
He eats everything he sees, from nettles to prickly trees

But smart old Blue he took the geocaching way.
He is looking for a cachers’ treat
Fluffy and Light Cause he knows it moves for his appetitie


OH NO! THE BRIDGE HAS GONE!!
OH RED CAN’T CARRY ON!!!!
But smart old Blue he took the geocaching way.

 

So as the story goes the Blue car won the race but what nobody noticed was that as Red gobbled up everything in sight he also ate the cache log.

Blue reached the finish line in one piece and by answering the following questions you can work out where the finish was and find the Blue car.

 

Blue car can be found at
