A little about Gibraltar:
I think Gibraltar is one of the most unique countries in Europe. It has its own airport where you can walk over the landing strip. The road is even closed when an airplane is landing or taking off. A strange fact is: there is no electric and water connection to Spain, most European countries share these facilities.
Also nature is very unique here, lots of tropical plant, trees and flowers. Even the very famous Gibraltar Barbary macaques are a must-see 'attraction'. But always respect nature and animals! So generations after us can also enjoy these experiences.
Shaken not Stirred!!!
Now the cache: I enjoy Gibralatar so much, that I want to place a cache here... a Virtual Cache is the most easy and cool here. You can enjoy the amazing sights and I the beautiful photo's from your visit... when I'm at home working...
As the older population might know one of the opening scenes of the best known and most famous fictional British Secret Service agent, was recorded here. The Secret Service agent I'm referring to is 007 also known as 'Bond.... James Bond'. The movie is called 'The Living Daylights' from 1987.
If you want to see this amazing scene you can view the folowing YouTube clip: 007: The Living Daylights (1987). Try to look at the speed they are driving here and how long they are driving, even when the truck is driven over the cliff... Bond can even use his parachute to land safely on a yacht ship! Really amazing!! Yes, the rock of Gibraltar is high... but not that high
Now how to log this cache?
You have to overcome your fear and shaking knees to do these tasks:
- Visit and get on the Windsor Suspension Bridge, take here (on the bridge) a photo of yourself or a personal (geocache) item and a sheet of paper that shows the date of visiting and your cache team-name, attach this photo to your log. I would realy like it if you get creative and give your photo a little of a James Bond / 007 flair! See our examples... for inspiration!
- If you don't post a correct photo I will contact you and you will have to add it or remove/change your found-log.
- Count the number of vertical steel wires on suspention brigde on the water side, send this answer to the mail-address: Rolo1977.GC8918H.AmountOfWIRES@gmail.com (Example: Rolo1977.GC8918H.212@gmail.com) with the subject: "Your teamname(s)" if your answer is correct you will get a direct response. You can log straight away.
- If I did not receive your (correct) answer, I will contact you and you have to give the answer or change/remove your found-log.
- Make a fun log online, so others and I (while working at home...) will enjoy your experience visiting this unique country and location!
- Don't send any answers by messenger-service, I don't use that function very often.
G®eetz and lots of geocache FUN!
