Geocache Description:


   This Cache, as indicated by its name is placed in honour of Kealia's Well Rounded Cacher (The Fizzy Challenge) challenge - GC11E8N which was placed to honour the work of FizzyMagic. Most people think that it just involved filling a grid with at least one of every Difficulty Terrain combination for a total of 81, but it also involved finding one of each of the common types at the time, being the following - 

    Kealia did exclude APE and Mega caches as they were few and far between as well as the phased out locationless caches. Another condition was that all of the caches required to qualify had to have been placed prior to this challenge being published. Quite the challenge!

   I have included all the types in the original challenge plus wherigos as they are a standard type now even if they didn't exist when Kealia's challenge was published. No publish date restrictions apply for qualifying finds as per 2016 challenge guidelines.

   The cache is at the posted coordinates. Whilst it isn't a difficult cache to find, it certainly is difficult to qualify for and interstate travel is required to complete your webcam find and this is factored into the Difficulty. Whilst completing the grid requires Terrain 5 finds to have been found, the cache is placed on elevated uneven ground and requires a decent hike over ground where the "path" is certainly washed out in places and seems to be missing in a number of places due to vegetation growth playing a part in a healthy Terrain 4 rating. Care needs to be taken with hidden rocks amongst the grasses you will encounter on the way up.

   To find out if you qualify you can use the following checker. If it gives you a green tick you are free to claim. If not a write note will have to suffice until you have managed to qualify in future.
