On the way to Scrabo Tower

 

This Wherigo cache is placed on an alternative trail that leads to Scrabo Tower within Scrabo Country Park.  It is possible to make this a circular walk of about 2 kilometres as there are a number of other caches in the area. There is access to the North & South Quarries as well as to Scrabo Tower.

This type of Wherigo allows you to search for the cache using only distance clues (no directions). The first Reverse Wherigo GC357G1 was created by Waldmeister. The basic idea is to find the final cache while being given only your distance to it. To get the current distance, you can ask the Reverse Wherigo Box in your inventory, but it won't tell you the direction - that's for you to figure out! There's no limit to how many times you can ask, but try to keep your number of guesses as low as possible. All instructions and necessary information needed to complete the cartridge are provided in the cartridge itself, which is multilingual.

When prompted you will have to type an initiation code into your player.

Obtain three six-digit numbers from the numbers below.

 

13,429,321
8,753,981
12,626,069

 

If you are having difficulty with the Wherigo App you may send your three six-digit numbers to the COs via the message the owner link above.

 

Gook luck!
