Geocache Description:

This is a Wherigo cache, the starting point does not have a physical cache, it's the starting point of your journey.


To find it, you must download a cartridge to a compatible device with the correct Wherigo software (it's free). This will take you on a circular walk which should take 60 - 90 minutes to complete.

Ahoy there shipmates, this is a treasure hunt around Broughton Astley with a physical cache at the end of it, assuming you get all the answers correct!

We've made it a nice circular walk, it's not too difficult to complete and it's all on good surfaces, no need for ropes and axes.

As you go around, you will be picking up clues needed to locate the final cache, make sure you read the screen carefully and bring a note book and pen to make a list of your answers. The cartridge should auto save at each stage, so you do not have to start all over again from the beginning if you have a problem.

This is our first Wherigo cache, we hope you enjoy the walk and look forward to any pointers you can give us about what you liked or didn't like.

If you have young cachers with you, please be careful as some of the route will take you near main roads which can get busy at certain times of the day.

The cache itself is in a high muggle area, plenty of stealth required, see hint too.

Thanks to Hal-an-tow and Ranger Fox at Earwigo for their help and guidance in trying to create this adventure.

Due to the closure of the building used in zone 14, please note that D is 2
