A short historical walk around Horbury with a cache to find at the end.
This Wherigo is a 2.5 km walk around Horbury which you should be able to complete in under an hour. It is linked with Geocache GC5QBA3 and takes you to some of the more interesting historical locations. There are about 13 locations to visit and a few questions to answer, each of which you will need to get right to continue (but they are easy!!).
This walk best done with an iPhone App as there are some audible alerts, but these are not essential, all the information you need will be shown on your device screen. For Geocachers there is a cache to find at the end and a log book to sign. To find the Geocache you will need your GPSR to input the final coordinates which you will be able to work out from a clue you will be given at the end of the walk.
If you need to refresh a zone just exit and re-enter it. To begin go to the start zone which will be activated when you press the first button. There are a number of locations on the way for refreshments if needed so take your time.
Horbury town centre outside the Co-op. Car parking is available at the published coordinates.

Another after work caching event with the birthday girl Janey tonight and no better way to celebrate her big 50 than a couple of wherigo's and a few caches too. Picking me up as usual, she was on time tonight (I nearly fainted with shock) and we were soon on our way over to this neck of the woods.
This was to be the final cache for tonight knowing it would take a while to complete. Parking up as suggested, it was only a short walk to the start and getting the cartridge working. Following the trail around, it was certainly interesting and educational with buildings I would probably never have noticed otherwise. Getting to the final bit, a bit of grey matter involved to obtain the final co ords and the search began. Failing to find anything on the first sweep, Janey then left me to the search whilst she read the logs. Deciding she had the answer, she sent me in for a look somehwere where I thought it surely can't be there and after a scramble about, it wasn't. Looking at a few other places she was insistant it would be, we still came up blank so nothing for it but to PAF, who tonight could actually remember in great detail where the very well secreted cache was stashed. Going in for the retrieve, I can't believe I had touched this on my very first sweep, but had failed to investigate it properly. With the cache in hand, the paperwork was completed with a combination of our initals, before replacing all as found. Thanks for another great wherigo with some great history within it. Another FP in here for taking the time out for this creation, tftc

Thoroughly enjoyed a very interesting walk round the older parts of the town. Used Google Nexus phone (Android) with WhereYouGo app - worked perfectly. Certainly a five star experience. Many thanks.
