[Copied from Geocaching.com] The second cache of today as we try to complete The Magnificent Seven Challenge Cache (GC4ABK5) - this is our Large cache container.

Where shall I start?! Well, despite Wherigo apparently not having an iPhone app there is one and it's on my phone. Having downloaded both the app and cartridge yesterday, and being at a loose end cache wise with unpredictable weather ruining our initial plans, we decided to attempt The Magnificent Seven Challenge. This would tick the large container box and be our first Wherigo cache.

We didn't really know what to expect. We'd had a brief look at home at the first stage so we knew that it would at least load, but after that was a mystery. Grubbly has a good friend who lives nearby so knew the area a little, not that it helped. The stages were entertaining and well thought out. We encountered no issues whatsoever, although we found the cache before completing the final stage having realised we had all the coordinate information to hand. However, for completeness, we did then make that journey to the last point just to see what it said! The iPhone isn't the most accurate of devices for caching with generally, but it did the job well today!

Thanks for a few things; a lovely walk, a new experience and a large cache container for the challenge. We also picked up a fresh TB and dropped a couple off that we've had far too long. TFTC SL
