Do you like adventures? Are you trying hard when you have a mission?
Do you have strong nerves to drive in the roads of Athens where traffic is
pretty heavy?
Do you want to win a 256 MB portable mp3 player?
Then if you are quick you can have this FTF trophy at my latest GPS adventure
here in Athens, by solving the mysteries of the various stages...
Are you ready? Let the fun begin ! ! !
The coordinates of the final stage where I have hidden a plastic container are the following:
N3F AB CD2
E2K GH IJ7
In order to find the exact digits, you have to visit ten different points in the area of Athens,
examine the surroundings and answer to the questions I have for each point.
Sounds easy? Not if you have in mind how much you have to move to reach all these spots!
Just have in mind that it took me two weekend mornings to collect GPS readings at these ten spots
and an evening after work to place the plastic container...
You will almost fall in amnesia with all these different points that are spread throughout my city!

Once you decode the characters and replace them with digits you will have the coordinates
of the point that I have hidden the plastic container.
The first to find the plastic container will get rewarded for his effords!
My FTF prize is a portable MP3 player at its box,with 256 MB RAM, radio and 7 colours backlight display.
At the first page of the log book you will find a verification code.The first who reaches the
plastic container can write down this code and send it to me.
For security reasons, I have not placed the mp3 player at the plastic container.
Please contact me at my e-mail address and I will arrange a meeting with you to give you the prize.
All ten stages to decode the characters do not contain any micro or plastic container.
You just have to visit the places, be careful and answer to my questions.
At the final point I have hidden the cache that contains a pen, a pencil, a log book and a geocaching
declaration in english and in greek.It also contains some items for trading and originally has a
new born travel bug from me.
Once you leave your log, please close the plastic container carefully and hide it exactly as you found it.
Enjoy the view for the spot...
I wish you all the best in this adventure.I chose spots that represent many areas of my city.
I will be happy to see many photographs of this adventure of yours...
Please no spoiler pics that give answers to the questions!
Enjoy ! ! !
