NEVER had a First to Find?
COULDN'T BE BOTHERED to get up at 5am in the morning?
UNABLE to sneak out at lunchtime or early from work?
Technologically INCAPABLE of setting up alerts for new
caches?
Or just plain LAZY and INCOMPETENT?
Then this is the cache for YOU.
Here is your chance to get a First to Find and WIN a host of
exciting goodies from the Kelsborrow Wayfinders caching
bag.
Surely there must be a catch?
What do I have to do to win this exciting prize?
All YOU have to do is find the cache and invent your own
First to Find category. For example:
- First to Find on a rainy Tuesday morning in November.
- First to Find while eating a chocolate bar
- First to find with a dog on a red lead
Then print out the Kelsbrrow Wayfinders exclusive First to
Find Certificate and fill in your First to Find category in the
space provided. You can then either laminate your certificate or
frame it, hang it on your living room wall and be the ENVY of all
your geocaching friends
But there’s more.
Everyone who finds the cache will AUTOMATICALLY be entered
into the Kelsborrow Wayfinders First to Find competition with a
chance to be OFFICIALLY awarded the First to Find on this cache as
well as a selection of exciting prizes including:
- A day’s caching with one of the Kelsborrow Wayfinders and a
special CELEBRITY geocacher
- Three (YES THREE) brand new unused geocoins
- An exclusive Kelsborrow Wayfinders Finger Monster in a colour of
your choice *
- A pen
- A bag of crisps in ANY flavour *
* Dependent on availability
It all sounds too good to be true, but you
still haven’t told me EXACTLY what I need to do.
COMPETITION RULES
1) Find the cache which is located in the beautiful Cheshire
countryside.
2) Empty out any residual water from the bottom of the container
and sign the soggy logbook.
3) Marvel at the extensive choice of expensive gifts and select any
broken item of your choice.
4 a) Well-prepared option
Take a photograph of yourself with the cache container holding your
exclusive Kelsborrow Wayfinders First to Find certificate (which
you will have taken with you). Go home. Complete online log.
Download photograph with humorous caption. Feel smug because you
have done exactly what the Kelsborrow Wayfinders wanted.
b) Forgetful option
Arrive at cache location and realise that you didn’t bring your
camera or print off the certificate. Set off for home. Return to
cache site to pick up your GPS which you left nearby. Go home. Get
member of family to take photograph of you holding the certificate
with embarrassed grin on your face because the Kelsborrow
Wayfinders knew that you would do this.
c) Couldn’t be bothered option
Go home. Try to remember which of the 30 caches you did today this
was. Write brief online note complaining about the undergrowth and
finish log with TFTC. Think what a pointless exercise the cache
was.
IMPORTANT
You must start your online log with your First to Find Claim
to Fame. I reserve the right to delete any logs that don’t abide by
this rule although to be perfectly honest I will probably let it go
as everyone plays by their own rules. I will just think what a
miserable log entry and talk about you behind your back.
COMPETITION WINNER
The competition winner will be the geocacher who, in the
opinion of a specially selected panel of North West Geocachers
comes up with the best First to Find claim and who truly enters
into the spirit of the cache.
CLOSING DATE
The competition will close seven days before the 2009
Cheshire Camping event.
CACHE
A quick note about the cache itself which should be a very
straightforward find. From the parking place on Stoney Lane you are
walking along an old Roman Road. Look out for the tree with the
stone in the crook close to the hiding place. As I was hiding the
cache I got into conversation with a dog walker who told me that
the locals had been aware of the stone for more than 50 years and
apparently it appears in a book about Mysterious Cheshire. Watch
out for the nettles in summer and please re-hide the cache
carefully so it doesn't look obvious.
Good luck and let your imagination run wild.
