A simple wherigo starting in Jurby. Bring a picnic for the final GZ - it's in a lovely spot. There's ample parking at the two places you'll have to pull in (i.e. the telephone box and the cache itself) - let the cartridge guide you.

About This Cartridge

First you need to go to the box itself - here you will be set a little challenge, which can only be done from the phonebox. If you succeed (it isn't difficult), a new destination will be unlocked - however, it will only pop up under the 'locations' tab once you are within 0.3 miles of it. First you need to head west, then NE - I don't want to give too much away, you can work it all out for yourself when you're there - a map may come in handy. Just from reading the descriptions here and at (visit link) you should get an idea of where it is. When you arrive at the cache itself, the cartridge should guide you straight to it - it's pretty straight forward. Please put in your logs how it worked for you, and what device you used. Good luck! 

Starting Location

Go to the phonebox, then let your GPS take you from there...

A nice game together with TTil and our dog Jolanda. The Box was easy to find. DFDC - TFTC - MPLC!

Played this today as our 27th Wherigo and found the cache, although the cartridge didn't finish as it should. We played using 2 phones, iPhone 6 and Samsung J3, both of which failed at the last stage, failing to give an unlock code!

We set off and despite the phonebox not being there anymore we soon had our next destination appear.
We drove to the next stage. I was playing this on the Oregon and the iphone. the iphone woked much better as we knew straight away where the next zone was, the Oregon didn't show the next zone until we were really close.
The final location was a really beautiful spot

This Wherigo has been on our to-do list since it was published and we finally got the chance to play it today. The cartridge played fine, luckily from the comfort of our car as it was chucking it down with rain.

We’ve not done a whereigo before so we weren’t sure what to expect, we thought there might be more questions to answer and wondered at some points if we were missing some information, but no, as we progressed it became clear we were on the right track.
We are pleased that we could use our normal GPSr etc. and not have to purchase or borrow another. The device we used is an Android 'phone , HTC Desire HD, and an external 'Touch' bluetooth GPS which is very sensitive compared to the GPSr build into the 'phone.
We ran a free app. called 'WhereYouGo' from the Google Play Store. The key to a good GPSr is the maps, and we run an app. called Locus (there is a free version but the Pro version is only a few pounds) with its 'Vector Maps' also from the Play Store (via a menu on the Locus app.). The maps for the whole British Isles are about £1.00 !
We had a few teething problems and may need to adjust some of the many 'settings' in WhereYouGo but the app. performed as it should as we wandered from location to location.
This cache has inspired one of nine to investigate if we too can add another Wherigo cache in the Isle of Man…watch this space!
