What a gorgeous evening for a walk around Hound Tor - lets have a go at trying to do our first Wherigo!
We were using two iphones - a 4s running ios 7 and an SE running ios10 - and the Wherigo app. The first hurdle was to understand that you dont just search for and find the the information on the app - you actually have to download a cartridge! Non-IT savvy hubby saved the day here as I would have been off to the moors with an empty app left to my own devices! Not really knowing what a cartridge was or how to recongnise it didn't help. However, we succeeded - hubby worked out how to download directly onto his phone whilst I managed it via itunes.
I had read all the information from previous cachers experiences so we knew to switch off our wifi and "play" the cartridge as we entered the car park. We followed these instructions to the letter and the cartridge began as it should and we set off.
Our first steps up to Hound Tor were a bit faltering. We didnt really know what we were supposed to be doing or where on the app we were supposed to be looking. Hubby's antiquated hardwarde suddenly burst into life and we were on our way - but mine wasn't doing anything at all! In the end I had to skip nearly all the way back to the car park to enter the "zone" and then I was back on track too!
And so we wandered around a very familiar place with our heads stuck in our phones - getting stuck in "zones" and wandering around in ever decreasing circles but all the time we were getting the hang of it and better at leaving each zone for the next part of the adventure.
I think we just about got a good grip on the procedure by the time we arrived at GZ and we found the cache! We have an unluck code but not sure what to do with it!
But thankyou - for a great learning experience which we thoroughly enjoyed on a perfect evening up on the moors.
additional edit - uploaded the GWS file after retreiving it from iTunes - and have successfully "unlocked" - i.e completed the wherigo!
Wheres the next one :)

We enjoyed this our second wherigo - we used an iPhone and all went well - except for the high ferns that are still there!

Enjoyed playing "A Moment in Time". The cartridge worked very well on my Samsung S6. Hound Tor and surrounds are a great location.
Well worth the effort of learning how to run Whereigo cartridges if you haven't done one before!

First trip out caching with gullsrock on Dartmoor today and with this Wherigo our main target, we wanted to try and get as many types as possible. We both found it really fun and interesting and we definitely got a workout! Thanks for putting so much effort into it.
Technical wise, we both used the app on our iPhones just incase one crashed but they were both fine. The only problem was a slight lag after reading the instructions from a point before the next waypoint loaded but being the first Wherigo we've done, we didn't know if this was an expected loading time anyway.
Also got the road trip souvenir for visiting a cache with more than 10 FP and I will be adding to those points once I've logged the rest of the caches from today. Thanks! #318

We really like wherigo caches so we decided to spend a weekend in Cornwall and collect this one. Today the weather wasn't very pleasant, it was really windy and raining, but that didn't stop our fun. We really enjoyed the story, and loved the location. We didn't see anyone out here today braving the elements. The cartridge worked perfectly and it wasn't long before we had helped everybody and were rewarded with the cache location. Many thanks for all your hard work in setting up this wherigo for us to enjoy today

Must have spent an hour or two on forums trying to work out how to put the cartridge in the right folder of Whereyougo Android app.
Got to start location and this being the 1st one I have done I soon got the hang of it.
I like the story lines and a bird and some peoples pets at the various locations played along too which made me laugh.
Great fun and and a nice walk.

A very enjoyable Wherigo with a theme ideally suited to the area.
The whole route was very busy today (apart from the detour to 'fetch wood' )

During our last visit to Dartmoor in autumn last year, we tried to find this but had problems finding the right way, but we still wanted to do it and tried again. This time we made it and finally hold the cache in our hands. Nice story set in a wonderful landscape. TNLN, TFTC

My first every WhereIGo and I really enjoyed it. Lovely location and great story.
I've walked past one point as I was focused on the water for the dog at the bottom of the hill, so I had to climb up again to get the next stage and then again once I've finished. That will teach me not to look at the GPS in future. I've used an Oregon 300 and it worked fine.
