A good long wander.
Unfortunately my oregon failed at the final location but luckily we did find the cache.

I really enjoy wherigo caches so today we decided to head down to the Bristol area to do a few . We set off and saw some interesting places to begin, we took the direct route to the 4th zone and the road was quite busy then after a steep climb we enjoyed the views over to Brean
We headed back down and enjoyed the walk to the final location when we arrived at GZ one by one the Oregons experienced a unexpected error and shutdown, but we had the hint and so began our search. It took us quite a while but after a 7 mile walk we were determined to find this one, and then 'Super Simon' (Mr unowho67) found the cache, we were really pleased to be second to find the newly replaced log book
I have uploaded a photo of how happy 'Super Simon' was

There was no unlock code in the log book, I did try variations of the words stamped in the back of the book on my iphone which had worked OK all the way round, and the Blue Nora also tried in her Oregon because after she had walked out of the zone she was able to get back in the game but none of them worked. I will upload our file on the wherigo site.

Many thanks for setting this wherigo, we walked further than we had expected to and it took us 3 hours, but fun was had by all.

We certainly earnt our smilie for this one. Lovely walk in the area which took us on a true Nailsea Wander. My Oregon worked perfectly until I got to GZ where it crashed unfortunately, as did the others. We all searched using the clue and just when we were about to give up Mr Unowho67 shouted that he had found the cache.

We tried to enter a number of words into Mrs Unowho's iphone that had stayed working but to no avail. My Oregon spluttered into life once more but I was not able to add the correct word either. F

Thanks for setting the wherigo - always fun to do.

Decided to do this one by bike using one Oregon and using the second Oregon to refer to the OS map.
Player locked up at the fish farm zone and wouldn't resume so returned to the start and this time played with both Oregons
Surprisingly long 'wander' and both Oregons gave up at GZ and wouldn't resume.

Wow, this is some cache. You really need a good pair of legs to complete this one. Did this with Hugh Jampton, and if it wasn't for his support, (food, umbrella, GPS and Map carrier), and his enthusiasm we would have completed this in two halves on separate days, as it was we actually took almost 5 hours and thats not counting returning to complete a previous stage (I'll explain in an email) We had a few issue with the PDA actually recognising we were at the right spot a couple of times which was frustrating, not sure if this is was a PDA issue or the 'zones' set out in the cartridge. The last stage starting point was an inspired guess between us both and the 1:25000 map. Left Ruby Ramsbottom TB and took one of the 2007 Diabetes coins. Thanks for a good cache and an education in Whereigo.

My first Wherigo..

Type of log = played - I can think of other words, I don't feel like I played today!!, I suppose it did play on the PDA... We were kna&%e*$d by the end of it, and I don't usually feel that shattered after playing a game!! - A great work out though, certainly feel it. Made the mistake of thinking it was a wander around the town, so kept on my work boots; I should have known hiking boots would have been better! - especially when we spotted the marsh plants.

Ok - I guess if you know the area and run then 1-2 hours is possible, but with a combined age of over 120, our team Berrow Cachers/Icarus clan took going on 5 hours, even using the car between a couple of legs. We are sooooo glad the car was less than half a mile from the final than the distance we had when we found it!!!!

We loved the walk up to the glorious views on a wonderful clear day; we needed the light today!.

Glad for the icon (Icarus has sent the pre-requisites). My first Wherigo, and I think next time I'll prepare a flask and kendal mint cake!!

A very lengthy walk! We took a good 5 hours (including 2 cache diversions) to do this major hike, I mean, wander!

The Wherigo player wouldn't play at the start, so had to re-start the whole thing near the first zone - it worked a treat from there on. By the time we found the cache my PDA had only 10% battery left and we were some considerable distance from the car.

Luckily, we chose a nice sunny day to do this, and once the cache log was signed we had five very weary cachers - 3 of whom were dying to drink the beer we'd bought in Tesco.

Nice to get a Wherigo icon at last (I couldn't really log my own!). Thanks for taking us to the camp - we'd been meaning to get there for ages.

A lengthy walk.

All worked well apart from when we stupidly entered an incorrect answer. Then it took some time to sort out.

This was an interesting type of cache to complete and we can see the possibilities are endless. We enjoyed the new challenge that this cache presented us.

Thanks Captain

A nice wander around, which I cycled rather than walked. I also had to use devious techniques with the software, as I don't own the necessary hardware. The final cache was well hidden - nice to see a proper size box!

Please note, that unless you send the completed GWS file you will not be able to log the cache, no armchair caching or hex crashing is permitted.
