Geocache Description:


The aim of this cache is to take you on a scenic walk through some of the less known walkways in Sydney. You will need your GPS to navigate to the start and then to the first waypoint. At the start location you need to answer the below question and put your answer in the checker to find where to go next.

Q. What is the cost to spy on Sydney? Include any special characters and punctuation in your answer.

 

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

 

Certitude will then give you instructions where to go and what to do next once you get to Waypoint one. You will need to 'spy' each photo in the photos in turn from this waypoint location, following a path that will ultimately lead you to the cache location. Start looking at https://heyzine.com/flip-book/30e2981f05.html and find the location nearby that matches photo ISPY01, once you walk to that, then look for where ISPY02 is and so on.

Once you reach the final photo location ISPY73 the cache will be directly below you.

Note:

  • The next location is generally visible from the previous location. You shouldn't have to walk very far to spot it.
  • Each location should be 50-100m apart. 
  • You don't ever go back the way you came
  • Total distance walking may take you 2-3 hours. There are plenty of other caches to grab along the way of interesting historic places to stop at.
  • This is best done on foot

This cache was inspired by TankEngines's GC14BBF - Canberra Capers. JennyFromTheFarm and I had a lot of fun doing that while visiting Canberra and we wanted to do something similar in our own city.
