We parked as suggested and were soon on our tour. A lovely start along the riverbank and it was only when we neared the end of this part of the walk that we encountered slippy mud and had to tread carefully where the path narrowed.

The Wherigo was well presented and we enjoyed thinking about bygone days and comparing the old photographs. For us, it brought back particular memories of childhood trips to the seaside and the smell of malt and outings to our own Plaza and ABC cinemas.

We had one problem in town where the stages are so close, we had to leave a zone and go back into it in order to progress but apart from that it worked really well on our IPhone. We also couldn’t find one of the answers required and made a panic call to the CO for reassurance we wouldn’t have to go back to the beginning if we answered incorrectly!

Arriving at GZ Lynne was trying to get the phone to zero in whilst Mally spotted the cache from the path, right above her head 😁😁. The log was signed and safely returned but still the phone wouldn’t register. It took a good 10 minutes of waving it around whilst tentatively holding on until at last it asked if we wanted a hint! We didn’t, but had to say yes to continue and finally we had our completion code. Yay!!! 😁😁😁

Thanks to thecatts for setting this Wherigo and providing us with an enjoyable couple of hours. A favourite point awarded.
