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.

This is a heaven and hell cartridge with most of the emphasis on hell! It took me 6 hours to get totally stuck and another 2 subsequently. If only I had read others' logs carefully before rather than after. You so mustn't do 'the punishment'. But it was a lovely walk and there was huge satisfaction in putting in a completed Wherigo log.

Finally completed this one, it is as difficult as the difficulty suggests - very satisfied to have completed it, took me 4 attempts, as I had a few technology issues, as I used the Openwig player on my mobile phone.
A fantastic challenge!

After yesterday being the first wherigo decided i would try and do a few today this was the first attempt of the day initially starting out with some success then got muddled went the wrong way didn't save and decided to start all over. Back to square one 30mins down. Second time round first bit all done smooth boom, took the correct route yey found the next few stages with few glitches except a sneaky bit of barbed wire caught my trousers grrr, wondered round got the final co-ords then searched round got more co-ords only thanks to reading paradiddles log then approached final zone only to be stuck that was till I read don't give up and kept searching a bit longer got lucky and wahoo job done onto the next one.

A nice wander around Backwell (took us 3 hrs) with some nice scenery and wild flowers - we saw bluebells, orchids and wild garlic today. On previous trips we have seen wild violets and a couple of Buzzards.
There are a few other caches en-route, but not always easy to do at the same time if you are in Wherigo mode on Colorado/Oregon (we had done them on a previous trip).
I feel that it deserves a higher D/T rating (currently 3/2), but hope that more cachers now make the effort to come and do this.
