Henry and the Boomer
played
We have been geocaching for almost 3 years, but have never done a Wherigo cache because we lacked the necessary tech equipment to run the Wherigo games. But we recently acquired an ipad (with GPS) so could finally have a go. This was to be our first ever Wherigo cache so, after loading the app and cartridge, we all headed down to Manly to try it out.
Found a parking spot in Bolingbroke Parade, and then walked down to the starting coords. Followed the instructions and found ourselves heading off on a really fun little adventure around Manly. Being long-time locals most of the information, and all of the locations, were already familiar to us, but it was fun answering the questions and figuring out the mini puzzles. Geoson#1 said it was very “Professor Layton” (computer game) like, which was an aspect he really enjoyed.
Anyway, after stopping mid game for ice creams, we eventually arrived at a familiar GZ. Had already guessed where it would be before we started off, but we hadn’t been here for many years so it was great to be back for the views and a cache.
After snapping a few photos with “the Boomer” we set to work searching for the cache container. Eventually found the well stashed container in a spot we had checked early on in the search, but obviously not well enough, so it ended up taking us much longer than it should have. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found.
Thanks Tyreless for setting up this Wherigo cache, a great introduction for us to Wherigo caching, and a most enjoyable historical walk around Manly. Well worth a Favourite point from us.
