About This Cartridge

4/3/09: New Cartridge Compiled, tested and guaranteed 100% Garmin compatible.............
A nice simple stroll round the rural parts of Backwell answering a few questions as you go.Do not try to cheat, make sure you walk! I strongly recommend you save the game at each stage/zone as you progress. Having experienced previous problems with some cartridges closing for no apparent reason I have found this the best way of ensuring all your hard work doesn't have to be repeated in the event of a crash. This is no cache and dash, it should take you in the region of an hour and a hal to two hours, unless you go wrong! Additional information will be available to you by clicking on tasks, zones and items so don't forget to do so.Hope you enjoy it. It isn't difficult and you may be able to collect some other caches on the way. **YOU WILL NEED YOUR GPSR TO COMPLETE THIS CACHE** 

Starting Location

I really like wherigo caches and this one has been on the 'To do List' for some time. We set off just as a fine drizzle had started, but we were pleased when our route had been confirmed, it is definitely a good idea to save the game as after a long walk to the top we incurred a penalty, as we didn't fancy the penalty we walked all the way back to where we had last saved the game, and started from there. The next part of the walk made us raise some interesting questions about snakes, which I have since googled and 'yes they do' .

The views from up here were beautiful, if only it was a warm sunny day. We carried on with caution into one of the zones sending in a victim who managed to get the answer wrong but at least they took a hit for the team who then all got their answers right

After following the instructions carefully we managed to walk ALL the way down to the wrong road, before walking all the way back up and then noticing the footpath where we should have come out. But we were all still having fun as there were many things to do to keep you occupied with this cartridge.

We found our second prize and then headed to where we had another question, Mr unowho offered to enter his answer first this time to make sure he was correct, by now trusting nothing and thinking 'outside the box' only to find this was actually a very straightforward easy question. We could only just about make out the co-rds for where we needed to head next due to a few scratches on the screen and a few people with dodgy eyesight.

We set off and then once we arrived we all began to look for the cache...... hmmm we now wondered if we had indeed written the co-ords down wrong so I resumed my game to check... Ahhhhhhhh now it all made sense .. Phew, off we set and were rewarded with a nice big cache and a completion code this time.

Thanks for all your hard work setting up this wherigo for us to enjoy.

In the area today with Unowho67 and [Monki] on the hunt mainly for some wherigos. Our second one and another nice walk. Shame the weather was not brilliant - but this time I did actually manage to see the sea in the distance when the sky cleared, not like the time we came to Cornwall for the weekend and I never saw the sea once.

The wherigo was very entertaining, with lots of twists and turns encountered to get us to GZ (finally). We failed to read the instructions carefully at one point ( well we failed to actually see them really) and were punished but as we had been careful in how we played the game we didn't have to back track too far.

Thanks for setting the wherigo. Great fun as always.

Selected a couple of Wherigos to break our journey on our way back to the Midlands from Cornwall. Pleasant walk and the cache was a nice quick find.
