Geocache Description:

Welcome to my first Wherigo and to Monmouth, the principal town of Monmouthshire, which has a long and interesting history!

This is a tour of just some of the historic buildings of Monmouth and you will of course finish with a final cache hunt!


MonnowStreet

So, to expand, this is a tour Wherigo of just some of the large number of historic buildings in Monmouth, at each stop you will be given a bit of information about the site and there is someone at each location who you will need to talk to get more information and the location of the next building. So it's a bit like an interactive multi really. There are 8 locations plus the final cache and you'll be given the hint for the cache when you get close to it. Should take about 45 minutes in all and is also an ideal cache for Wherigo beginners.

I have enjoyed several very good Wherigo's over the last year or so so I thought, especially as there were none locally, I would try my hand at one (but a non-complicated tour one first of course!!), so I do hope you enjoy it and I welcome any (constructive) feedback.

Some Things to Note:


1) I'm sure you know, but to find the cache you will need a Wherigo compatible device with the relevant software installed such as compatible GPS units and smartphones with the relevant app.

2) I haven't tested it on a Garmin GPS (because I don't have one) but I have tried to make it compatible with them - any feedback welcome with that.

3) You will need to download the cartridge HERE

4) I found the pictures within the Wherigo work better when you do not have 'stretch' or 'large' on in your settings (but that might just be me!)

5) It's a peculiarity of the Wherigo platform that the Completion Code it automatically provides you with only works on Wherigo.com if you just use the the first 15 digits, not the whole code (bizarre I know!)


The cache is a small-sized container.

Have fun.
