About This Cartridge

This Wherigo cache will take you on a 4.5km (3 mile) journey through the solar system...and along the Newcastle river side. Remember to save frequently as you go! It is a 1-to-1 billion scale trip from the sun to Neptune which will show you how close we are to our neighbouring planets just how wide the spread is between the big gas giants on the edge of our solar system. This Wherigo is designed for pedestrians and cyclists. If you walk then the number 22 bus will bring you back to Newcastle from the stop on the other side of the road from Neptune. 

Starting Location

The confluence of the Ouseburn and the Tyne

An interesting walk along the Tyne. Perhaps it's as well that Pluto has been demoted! Thanks for setting this up.
