Geocache Description:


Welcome to the SSF : Something Smells Fishy Series.

This cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.

A series of caches placed in the area just North of Gretna, where you will have to use the C roads between Gretna, Elderslie and Pelham to help 'fish' out where the final location for this cache is.

To find this series of caches you will need to have a now common TOTT (Tool Of The Trade) a fishing pole, these hides will range from simple easy to spot and retrieve ones to almost invisible and devilishly hard to recover ones. Good luck in your searches.

Make sure you download the Wherigo Cartridge before you leave civilisation.

While we have tried to provide parking locations within a short walk of GZ please remember to park safely and as most of these hides are near roads please be aware of your surroundings when retrieving and replacing the cache.

In order to find this Reverse Cache you need to download a Wherigo cartridge made by -Waldmeister-

It is located here.

After starting it you will have to type in these three numbers when asked:

695262
408610
606134

Every time you ask it, the cartridge will tell you your distance from the cache, but not the direction.
Based on this information you should eventually be able to deduce the final location.
Once you get within about 20 metres from the cache, the cartridge will give you exact coordinates.

I would like to acknowledge that this cache is based on the very first Reverse Wherigo GC357G1 created and hidden by -Waldmeister-. GC357G1 is in Regensburg in Germany
