Geocache Description:


Friends and Piers

This is a puzzle cache, but the puzzle requires more coordination of people than that of the GPS kind!

Obtaining the cache coordinates can be done by following the steps below:

 

  • Go to the published coordinates. You’ll need a donation for entry and can only visit during opening hours (11am-4pm at time of publishing, but I believe it extends until 6pm during the summer months).
  • Open https://www.geotrailsw.com/mob/ on your smartphone*.
  • Enter code 4421
  • The cache coordinates will appear when three people, located within 20m of the posted coordinates, do this at the same time.

*You should ensure the website will work before attempting. You may need to download a new browser app to your phone (Google Chrome doesn’t seem to work, however Firefox is what I’ve used to find a cache like this without a problem. Safari should also work fine). Ensure the browser has permission to use your GPS location and you are using mobile data (not WiFi). Once you have opened the website, check the ‘verify your phone is compatible’ section. If the ‘current location’ section reads N0 00.000 E0 00.000 something isn’t working correctly. If your current GPS coordinates are displayed with reasonably accuracy. Everything should work fine!

 

Time to phone some friends (or buy two more smartphones, it’s up to you really…)
