The Haunted Woods Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Jersey Royals: I’m sorry to say that this cache is now been archived due to high maintenance costs and up keep. [:(]

For this we have to thank the local ‘Red squirrels’!!! They seemed to have a great taste for the eyes with over twenty eyes going missing or been gnawed so making them ineffective.[:(!]

A new night cache ‘The Twilight Zone’ is in the pipe line and should be up and running before the end of the month so all you night owls can still have fun wondering around in the dark getting scared.[:D]

Good luck to any who try it. Hopefully this one will be more squirrel proof and be just as entertaining.

Geocache Description:


 

 

 

The Haunted Woods

This is a NIGHT ONLY multi cache and can only be done after dark.

 

Wander along dark mysterious wooded tracks with strange noises all around. Rustling here, screeching there, what was that crack.

 

The further you go the darker it becomes. Strange lights flicker in the trees. Dark foreboding shapes appearing out of the darkness. Dare you carry on with this hunt when your instincts are saying turn back now?

 

Your team gathered close about you asking your advice and opinion. Are we on the right path? Where can we run? Where can we hide? Shall we just give up now while the going is good?

 

Are you feeling brave enough to continue...

 

 

 

 

If so this is a 4 stage multi cache in which you need a strong torch and even tougher nerves.

 

The coordinates above are for the starting point of this nerve rattling cache.

 

Once you arrive at the starting location you will notice two paths leading from it. To choose the right path go the entrance of each and hold your torch at eye level and look high and low until you see a glowing eye. When you have spotted the glowing eye of this ghoulish creature staring at you walk towards it (if your nerves are strong) and look for more of its brethren.

 

In several places along the path you will come across forks in it. The next gruesome eye will be within 75m of the fork on the correct path.

 

Along the trail also look out for pairs of glowing eyes as these horrific creatures are the guardians of 35mm film cases with part of the coordinates to the next waypoint. The canister will be located next to or on the tree (below child head height).

 

Once you have the coordinates to the next waypoint enter them into your GPSr and continue following the path the creatures are leading you along until you stumble across signs of civilization. From there follow your GPSr to the next waypoint.

 

Upon reaching the final waypoint just keep following the monsters eyes until you sense their presence baring down on you. But look out as you don’t know what is out there.... Beware of the unknown!!

 

Recommended items to take with you:-

Spare batteries (for torch and GPSr)
A torch for each member of your team
A pen and paper!
Warm clothing

Something to calm the nerves!!

 

The cache is a regular sized Tupperware container containing various glowing / ghostly swaps, log book and pen. Please could all trades be along the same lines.

Thank you.

 

 

 

 

 

Please take care when walking through the woods, watch out for trips and hidden holes. Please could you also rehide the film canisters and cache as you found them.

 

 

 

 

 

Just one point if you found the cache we hope you can make it back out alive…
