This cache has been archived.

Aberdeenshire2019: Unfortunately Storm Arwen on 26 November 2021 made safe access to a lot of these caches impossible and this will remain the position for a long time to come. Previously it was announced that the caches were to be archived on 31 December 2021. The caches placed for the Aberdeenshire 2019 Mega recorded an amazing 21,659 found logs on 83 hidden geocaches, by 721 geocachers. Thanks for taking part.

Geocache Description:


Please note that this series of caches will be archived on 31 December 2021 and the containers uplifted. Please complete any site visits before that date.



A group of caching friends are travelling to Aberdeenshire in August 2019 to the UK's Annual large gathering of cachers where they will meet up with other friends. From the information below can you work out how far each cacher has traveled and what is their favourite cache type and what day they arrived for the week long event.

NB. each cacher has a different favourite type of cache, they all arrived on different days and all travelled different distances.

The clues are:

  1. Tupperware Tina didn't travel 232 miles and FTF Fred loves wherigo caches.
  2. The Earthcache lover arrived two days after Geocoin George but a day before the person that travelled 232 miles.
  3. The cacher who travelled 1521 miles arrived on the Monday. Swappable Sue travelled 375 miles.
  4. Muggly Martin didn't travel 760 miles but he arrived the day before the cacher that likes Letterbox Hybrids, who isn't Tupperware Tina.
  5. The Mystery Cache lover arrived on Wednesday.
  6. The local cacher who travelled just 28 miles arrived two days earlier than Swappable Sue, but they don't like Multi-Caches.

Once you have solved the puzzle you can get the coordinates from the cache from the following

The cache is at N 57 3.ABC W 2 30.DEF where:

  • A=What's the first digit of the number of miles the person who arrived on Thursday travelled?
  • B=Which date did Swappable Sue arrive?
  • C=How many letter A's are in the name of the person who arrived on Tuesday?
  • D=Which date did the cacher who travelled 232 miles arrive?
  • E=How many cachers arrived before FTF Fred?
  • F=What's the last digit of the number of miles the Earthcache lover travelled?



Please see the first cache in the series for parking waypoints.
