Weird Sport
A series of caches to celebrate the weird, the unusual, the downright odd sports that are played in the UK. You've probably played a few of these at the local village fete, but bet your life there's a world championship for them and an entry in the Guiness Book of Records!
To discover the coordinates for the physical cache location simply answer the questions below. All the answers can be easily found online.
Tin Bath Racing
The World Tinbath Championship takes place annually in Castletown Harbour on the Isle of Man.
The event is sponsored by local breweries, with support from the Isle of Man Department of Tourism. It raises money for local charities. Each year there are over 100 competitors and teams from the Isle of Man and elsewhere. Although the event is run as a fun day, the competition is fierce, and strict rules are in place to ensure a fair and safe event.
Categories in the Championship are: a Men's Race, Ladies' Race, Snake Race (teams), the Rope Slide, and a Flying Competition in which entrants attempt to fly over the harbour with varying degrees of success in homemade flying machines.
To find the coordinates for the physical cache answer the following questions. (There is no cache at the listed coordinates above, do not go there, you will not find anything!)
