This software is beta (still in test), use at your own risk, no warranties! You are the owner of a Reverse-Cache-Box, which will not give you coordinates but rather indicate the distance to the final/geocache. Your task is to find the geocache using the box as little as possible for checking the distance.

I'm not used to Wherigo's having only completed 3 before this one and it's also my first as a Reverse Wherigo too. I was fortunate to find the relevant data online and add the answers whilst at work almost 10 miles away. With my inexperience as to how they work, I inadvertently checked how far I was so wasted a check in doing so. I tried to work out where the final location might be by searching various footpath options within a reasonable walking distance whilst still at work, but obviously I needed to check again much nearer the cache location. Once at the cache coords I checked again and using official Ordnance Survey mapping on my phone (which really helped), so I was able to "guess" a likely location based on the distance I was away at the time. Once I arrived at that spot, I checked again only to discover I was now within 1m from the true hide (yay). The cache itself was also spotted within about 20 seconds, so super happy with not only how I worked this one out, but also my execution in finding it. :)

Heute Vormittag diesen Wherigo gespielt und am Schluss die Finalkoordinaten erhalten. Zuerst noch ein paar Muggels vorbei ziehen lassen und dann ging es die letzten paar Meter zur Dose, wo ich dann meinen Eintrag ins Gästebuch machen konnte
