The House of Nicholas Wherigo Cache

This cache has been archived.

ammotuner: I'd forgotten this needed a maintenance visit so I popped over to GZ this evening. It took a while to extract the cache from snail city, although the lid was indeed missing the log was fine but nearly completely full up. Rather than replace it I've decided to archive so nature can be left in peace and perhaps free the area up for something else.

Geolitter removed, many thanks to all who visited 🙂

Geocache Description:



This cache utilises a "Play Anywhere" Wherigo cartridge which means you can do the leg work for it wherever you want but the posted coords are a recommended spot as the cache is hidden close by.  Many thanks to espe2310 over in Germany for creating and allowing me to use their cartridge for this cache.


First of all you will need to visit the Wherigo website and download the Das Haus von Nikolaus cartridge to your device. Then you will need to find a suitable area outside with good GPS coverage and run the cartridge. It is based on the old German children's game of drawing the house of Santa Claus in one stroke without duplicating any lines. The cartridge has been used many times on lots of different devices so you shouldn't have any problems.

When you have successfully completed the task you will be rewarded with a numerical code for ABCDEFGHIJ. Simply substitute the letters in the following equation with the numerical values from the cartridge and you will have the location of the cache.


The cache can be found at:


N 51° 4D.HAC W 000° 4I.DEE



Good luck and happy hunting!
