How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:


This cache IS at the posted coordinates. That said, tree cover may mess with your technology. The cache is hidden in plain site. Please bring a pen.....and you will actually need a barge pole (or similar). You may even need tweezers.

A simple challenge. If you don't meet the criteria yet, you will eventually. All you need to do is keep playing the game.

To claim a find you need to have signed the log AND found 100 hundred caches with the 'Special Tool Required' Attribute. Feel free to sign the log before you have found 100 and leave a 'write note'. That can then be swapped to a find once the challenge is later achieved.

The hide type is incredibly common now in the middle of the country and eastern central belt. Very, very rare in the west. This does mean that far travelled cachers may be a bit sick of them but will have a TOTT.

A checker for the challenge can be found here.

Many thanks to GilkerscleughCachers for adapting the checker to our requirments.

PS those who have cached for a while will remember this as the location for Reynard's Glen - GC2AWEV. We haven't seen Reynard in these streets at night for quite a few years!
