- Found it
Another classic cache set by the CO. The puzzle itself took quite a bit of unpicking - after making good progress, we all ground to a halt, and I can't remember now how or who we got over the last hurdl?
As the other team members note, it took us three attempts to reach the final goal. The first attempt was thwarted by failing to follow the instructions correctly, so selber schuld for that one! As the main navigator, I could claim this one, although at the time, I remember being very pleased with getting us to where we wanted to be without too much mishap - and worse than that there were artefacts matching what we needed at the alternative site. In hindsight, we did the right thing by withdrawing for another day. There is nothing worse that being too tired and struggling on, only to make more mistakes.
Our second visit very quickly got us the additional info we required, and then we failed to interpret it correctly. As Amberel has pointed out, we spent far too long exploring areas looking for signs not realising we were completely in the wrong. We had an interesting route out that day - I love exploring.
So, onto today, and it was quite literally a stroll. We didn't worry too much with the maps - we've been here often enough that even when we get lost, we have a good idea of what to aim for. We could have completed it more quickly, but I think we were all enjoying being in the quarry. A small detour for Ecky, and then onto a quick find at the final. A few photos as mementos and a rest before setting back. I think we were all quietly sad that the adventure had come to an end.
Excellent. I can't praise the cache highly enough. Many thanks for all the effort involved. I particularly liked one of the stages due to my technical interests. Many many thanks.
