Geocache Description:


The Golden Snitch

A simple multi-cache that should take around fifteen minutes to complete.

Harry Potter plays Quidditch - a magical sport using flying broomsticks - for his house team, Gryffindor.  In quidditch, the game ends when the Seeker catches The Golden Snitch - a magical winged flying ball, worth 150 points, but it's so small and fast that only the quickest flyers can spot it.   When Harry began playing quidditch, aged 11, he was the youngest Seeker in a century.  

Sadly, Harry's broom is broken and he can't play in today's big game against arch-rivals, Slytherin.  You must take his place as Seeker, find The Golden Snitch and claim 150 points for Gryffindor.  The cache can be found at N51 35.SNI  W000 45.TCH     Visit the virtual stages to discover the values for S, N, I, T, C and H. 

...but will it be enough to win the game?   Just for fun, time yourself from the moment you leave the parking co-ordinates until the moment you touch the cache.  Slytherin will be awarded 10 points for every minute that elapses.  Post your score in the comments, e.g. if you take 12 minutes, the score in your game will be Gryffindor 150 - 120 Slytherin. 

DO NOT PARK ON THE A404

Good luck!
