Geocache Description:

In The Autumn 1944 operation “Market Garden” was conceived to punch a hole through German lines, and clear the way for an all out assault on the German Father land.

A Rough Landing

As part of this daring plan you and your comrades of the 2nd Parachute battalion have been dropped behind enemy lines near the Dutch town of Arnhem. Unfortunately you have missed the drop zone (DZ) and have become separated from your comrades.

Your first task is to make your way to the rendezvous point and try and pick up the trail your comrades have left, and rejoin them at your objective. Part of your kit includes a portable decoder which is vital for the success of your mission, be sure to download it before departing.

The Rendezvous

You have landed at S37º 50.063' E145º 01.469 just under a thousand meters from your designated DZ, follow this path toward your assigned rendezvous at S37º 50.247' E145º 01.950'. Along the way you will come across a clear sign that your comrades have been in this area, but enemy activity has forced them to push on without you. They have left a code that when placed in your decoder will direct you to your next objective. Beware of Dutch collaborators and Gestapo informants as you search for your instructions, the Germans are aware of your presence and under the present circumstances are in no mood to take prisoners.

Sniper Ally

Once again enemy activity has forced your comrades to fall back to a more secure position. They have fallen back to the northern end of the rail bridge across the Rhine that links Arnhem to Nijmegen, this bridge is of strategic significance and must be held in tact, as the Germans have already destroyed the road bridge to Nijmegen.

Arnhem Bridge

You arrive at Arnhem bridge to find that the Germans have managed dislodge your comrades from their tenuous foothold at the northern end of the bridge. The code word they left in snipper ally gives you the location of demolition charges placed on the bridge by German engineers. Locate the demolition charge to complete this cache.
