A pleasant walk around the town in the cold and dark. The cartridge worked well on my trusty and old Colorado, one stage needed me to wander up and down a little but it could have been the buildings interfering with the signal. I had to linger at the final stage until it was muggle free.

This was our first attempt at a wherigo, and it took around an 45 mins at a very leisurely stroll. Everything worked properly, I used an iPhone 4s, twodocs used an iPhone 6, and both devices worked flawlessly. The final location was just a little tricky (and would be even harder for short people) but we managed to retrieve and replace the container without embarrassing ourselves. The completion code was 18 characters long, and would not unlock the capsule until the last 3 were shaved off to give the regulation 15 characters. Anyway, all is good, and the cache is still in good condition. Thanks.

This was my first Wherigo, while i had some time to waste during the day, once i'd got the app working it was pretty straightforward and find the cache at the final destination

My first Whereigo. Completed this lunchtime. Struggled to get signal at first location but thereafter very straightforward. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks very much.

I like a good Wherigo, and I've been meaing to done this one for ages, so it seemed like an ideal way to finish off the year.

I normally rely on my trusty old PDA with bluetooth GPS - but this time I decided to put my trust in new technology and use the Android Wherigo player (WhereYouGo) on my phone. It didn't work too well at first, saying the start zone was just over 1,000km away (E14 degrees?!) - but once I'd allowed it to access the GPS things improved dramatically.

Like lodgebarn I had trouble getting into the zone at 78 Derngate, but after 10 minutes of wandering around I finally managed to gain access right outside the front door. After that it was plain sailing, and the roadworks outside the museum are now complete. I had no idea that this area was officially "The Cultural Quarter" - but there are now signs to prove it.

I was only just able to reach the final, and stealth was difficult to achieve - but log signed and replaced successfully. TFTW and Happy New Year!

P.S. To log a successful completion, drop the last (16th) letter of the completion code...

P.P.S. I am not related to Mr Bassett-Lowke!

I enjoyed my tour of Northampton Culture and it was a good way to spend 30 minutes. Only waypoint where I had problems was the first where the GPS wanted me to be in the front room. Pacing up and down soon resolved the problem!

Really enjoyed our trip around Northampton as we'd never been into the centre of town before, we visited some interesting locations.

We played on the iPhone 5S and Samsung Galaxy S5 and all worked perfectly.

Had a great day caching in the area with [Monki].

Having enjoyed a lovely walk in the morning, we drove to Northampton to do the 2 new wherigo's as they are my favourite type of cache

Parked fairly close by and headed to the first zone. It took a short while to register that we were they, but we soon had the answer and we moved on.
This was a really great wherigo which took us to some interesting places on our way round. A nice quick find at the final location too.

many thanks for all your hard work in setting up this wherigo for us to enjoy today
