The Geocaching Training Grounds is a series of simple caches that explore the various different cache types available in Geocaching, making it ideal for beginners that are new to the hobby. The caches are hidden within the grounds of the ECOS centre which is open to the public. Please remember to follow The Countryside Code, The Highway Code and Geocaching Guidelines when out caching. The caches are achievable in less than 2 hours following the paths but be prepared, the ECOS is a floodplain for the River Braid, and often after heavy rain the paths will be innundated.
Always remember your pen and tweezers!
The series will cover:
Traditional Caches🟢
MultiCaches🟠
Mystery Caches🔵
EarthCaches🌍
Letterbox Caches✉️
What is a MultiCache🟠?
MultiCaches include at least one stage in addition to the physical final container with a logbook. The posted coordinates for a MultiCache are the first stage. At each stage, the geocacher gathers information that leads them to the next stage or to the final container. This inforamtion could be within a container, taken from a noticeboard or making observations in your surrounding area. You must sign the logbook to claim a find!
This MultiCache!
At the given coordinates you will find a noticeboard. Collect the following information for each question, and replace the letters A-F in the formala to find the final location of the cache.
A= How many kilometres of pathways are there? 6 km = 2, 8 km = 9, 10 km = 8
B= What colour are the spots on the butterfly? Red = 4, Black = 2, White = 9
C= Is swimming allowed? YES = 0, NO = 7
D= What colour is the flower in the middle image? Yellow = 3, Blue = 9, Purple = 5
E= The number of "1"s in the phone number
F= The number of people in the photo
Add your answers up and use the checksum to help see if you're right!
Checksum: A+B+C+D+E+F = 29
