Geocache Description:

A Wherigo with a twist.


The Cache...

About Wherigo Reverse Caches:

Wherigo Reverse Caches were inspired by the original Reverse Geocache Puzzle Instead of using that box of tricks to find this reverse Whereigo cache you will use the cartridge which you will have to download and install on your device before you go out to find this reverse cache.

The cartridge for the Wherigo version was developed by Waldmeister and has been re-used in many difference caches.


The three six-digit numbers to activate the cartridge are usually given on the cache pages but I have made this one so cachers have to carry out a trail in the dark to find 3 sets of 6 digit numbers.

About this Geocache:

To find the cache you will need to download thisWherigo cartridge to a compatible device.

This cartridge will tell you how far it is to the final location but not the direction - you will have to work that out for yourself.

So far so good?

In order to activate it you need to enter the 3 sets of 6 digit numbers and you will need to go to the published coordinates where the night trail begins, this is a unique type of night cache. You may need to use a torch or you may not. All will become apparent when you are there.

The posted coordinates are your LOE (Limit Of Explotation), this is a guide for the distance you will be covering. 

Some basic information you may require, you undertake this cache at your own risk, beware of your surroundings at all time.

There is branches, holes, bracken, hawthorn, brambles, nettles, tree trunks/roots, water, bogs, deer and high drops to contend with, so where suitable footwear when attempting this cache.

Some hints, goto the starting point (N 56° 04.041' W 003° 53.142'), look for a spooky tree and find the green arrowhead (no numbers here, this is the start point) from there follow the trail of self generating arrowed markers (they glow greenish), there will also be some reflective rectangles along the trail to assist, at certain arrowed markers (same as the sarting one) you will need to look around (upwards is generally a good place to start looking) and make a note of the numbers you see.

When the trail ends there will be 4 arrowed marks 3 of which are pointing inwards, this is where the final 6 digits will be, then you can start the Wherigo cartridge, enter the 3 sets of 6 digit numbers, in the order that you found them, from here on in you are on your own, be wary of your surroundings.

Look for this tree to start:
