Geocache Description:


 

This is the first Reverse Wherigo in the Public Footpath Sign Series. Go to the waypoint to get your information for the codes.

There is nothing to find at the published coordinates only nice views across Dedham Vale. You will need to go to the waypoint coords where you will start and find a 3 finger footpath sign.  Take the mileage to find the missing numbers for the 3 lines of code needed to open the wherigo cartridge. i.e London 5.7 miles would equal A=5 B=7

Dedham = AB,  Flatford on the way to Manningtree = CD, Manningtree =EF, Flatford on its own = G

Then add them to the following 

AA9GGG

58DAAG

64BGDA

To find this cache you need a Wherigo enabled GPS device or a smartphone that has a compatable App.

If you are an Android user and you use c:geo, it has its own wherigo player that works well with Reverse Caches.

Wherigo Reverse Caches were inspired by the original "Reverse Geocache Puzzle Box"

The cartridge for this Wherigo version was developed by -Waldmeister - and has been used in many different caches.

To find this cache, you need to download this Wherigo cartridge, downloaded from here to your device, press PLAY and type in the 3 codes to activate the cartridge.

You will then be the owner of a Reverse-Cache-Box, which will give you coordinates when you have gone in the correct direction and walked the required distance, where you will find the geocache.
