This cache has been archived.

Boomshanka: Unfortunately, the host for the cache has been permanently removed (thankfully Mrs Boomshanka was walking the dog past the workmen whilst they did their thing and managed to retrieve the cache [:)]). So, it's time for this one to go and free up the spot. Many thanks for visiting.

Geocache Description:


This cache has been set to mark Freshers' week and the start of a new University academic year (which is significant in the Boomshanka household this year!).

This Wherigo converts your player into a virtual version of the β€˜Reverse Cache Box’ which tells you the distance to the cache, but not the bearing. You may begin your search from any spot in the world using your Smartphone or Whereigo compatible GPSr to navigate to the cache, but it's suggested that you start at the posted co-ordinates (with parking nearby).

The cartridge is available to download HERE on the Whereigo.com website.

Your task is to find the cache by periodically querying your Reverse Cache Box for the distance to the final location. Try to use your Reverse Cache Box as few times as possible. All instructions and necessary information needed to complete the cartridge are contained within it. The cartridge is multi-lingual.

To begin, you need to solve the following theme-related puzzle to give three 6-digit codes to type into your player:

(PMARJ)(SWAN)(CANCC)

(CHICH)(SDCOL)(WAKEC)

(BSO)(ERC)(PLYM)

Checksum for the 18 individual digits = 92

It is suggested that you take the codes with you on your journey. They will be needed if it becomes necessary to restart your player for any reason.

Please do not include hints in your log about where and how you found the cache or post photos that would give away the final location.

Have Fun!

Many thanks to -Waldmeister- for creating such a flexible wherigo.
