Superb cache. One of the very few wherigos in Northern Ireland and as we have now done over half of them, it has given me the idea to get the rest.

The flow of the story and the characters were all drawn out very well. The only issue I had, like others, was the roaming hit boxes which was due to being surrounded by trees. It was not a show stopper, but I did have to cross the river for the last two areas as they would not appear on the path they should have. None the less it was still an amazing experience that everyone in our family enjoyed.

All credit to our geodaughter, I was about to give up the hunt for the GZ when she piped up that she had found it. It was out in the open a little so we hid it the best we could.

I presume that there's no completion code for this cart? None appeared and the final task would not finish despite retracing our steps.

All in all a great cache and thanks for keeping it alive.

A lovely walk around Downhill forest to compltete the cartridge. My wherigo player on the Oregon worked perfectly getting us to up to the final stage in about 30 mins. Shannagh enjoyed her wee walk but now the searching began!!! We found the obious spot and searched for a good 30 mins with no cache in sight. After some desperite attemps we were forced to give the cache up. We started to walk back up towards the way in only to find another location that fitted the clue. A quick search reviled the cache and the golden fish. A great cache for my 750th. TFTC TNLN SL

Loved this one but thought I was going to come away with a DNF. The clue lead to more than one possible location and I wasted a lot of time in the wrong place. Got it eventually, TFTC.

Started this one yesterday and got to the final but with the rain pelting down and a few places matching the clue I abandoned the search and headed back to the truck.
seeing as it was clear today I went back and found the goldfish after a very brief search.

It's a pity these wheigo's haven't taken of giving the amount of work involved.

took the coin.

TfTc.

Our second Wherigo today and ever.
Had fun.
Thanks for going to the effort.
The final coords need a wee tweak.
