Chudley Cannons Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) <p><p> Go west where they like it hot. Name the famous hotel and the cache that is just to the left of the front door. Edited March 9, 2009 by Chudley Cannons Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 It's the Hotel Del Coronado, also where much of the film "The Stuntman" was set. I reckon the cache is Kate Morgan chicken Quote

Have you make it a harder one next time. A lot of the Marilyn Monroe movie "Some like it Hot" was filmed there, hence the clue given. Over to you. Quote
+Von-Horst Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 D'oh! Beaten to it! Looks like a cool place to stay.... Quote
Chudley Cannons Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I tried to be a little tricky by not using a google earth picture. didn't do much good. Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) Time to meet your nemesis I think, but if there are any champions out there name the cache at the left of this picture. Edited March 10, 2009 by MartyBartfast Quote
+Just Roger Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) Its Geneva and the cache is 'City of Geneva. Web Cam cache' GCQXZM Edited March 10, 2009 by Just Roger Quote
+Just Roger Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 If I may be so bold as to assume a DING, try this one. Staying in Europe, what is the name of this feature and the name and code of the cache that is just off the bottom of the picture Quote

Belated DING to aRRKs for the right answer. I was out doing important things - like caching. Quote

Staying in Europe, what is the name of this feature and the name and code of the cache that is just off the bottom of the picture Stunning! Ill have to put that on my list of caches to visit.... however, I bet it looks better from the air than the ground Quote
Chudley Cannons Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 I don't see any reason why you can't Self-Ding in this quiz. It might speed things up a little. Quote
+kennamatic Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Stunning! Ill have to put that on my list of caches to visit.... however, I bet it looks better from the air than the ground This is the view from near the cache site. Typical I should miss the one photo in this thread I stood a chance of recognising.. That'll teach me to work rather than keep an eye on the forum. Quote
+Lost in Space Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 That'll teach me to work rather than keep an eye on the forum. ...........and camera focus! Quote
+aRRKS Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 This is probably a bit too easy, but which cache is in this picture? Quote
+Von-Horst Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) As its lunchtime, here's a nice happy one; Where are we, and what is the cache 'above the hairline' to the left? I'll be out of the office this afternoon, so please feel free to self ding! Mike Edited March 11, 2009 by Von-Horst Quote
+aRRKS Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 GC23F8 Gardens of Versailles Colonnade Cache Palace of Varsailles, Paris Quote
+Von-Horst Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Sheesh! That was quick - I didn't even have time to get my coat... Ding! Quote
+aRRKS Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) Another island cache, which cache is in the red circle. I don't want to put a scare among you as this one is a golden opportunity for someone to guess correctly. Edited for speelong Edited March 11, 2009 by aRRKS Quote
+Guanajuato Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) From the clues, I guessed something to do with Scaramanga, the Man with the Golden gun. A quick search came up with Ko Tapu Cache is GCE499 Edited March 11, 2009 by Guanajuato Quote
+Guanajuato Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) Total change of pace... 6 Caches on this loop, but no towers to be seen Edited March 11, 2009 by Guanajuato Quote
+Bambography Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Total change of pace... 6 Caches on this loop, but no towers to be seen Any clue on the general area? The location at the bottom looks like it should be identifiable but I can't figure it out. Quote
+Guanajuato Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 You'd think children would like to play on a certain bit of the loop. The reference to a tower is a big clue too. Think Sabine Schmitz Quote
+aRRKS Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 GC174XY Hatzenbach is one of them I am The Stig Quote
+Guanajuato Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Some say he has no need of a GPS and can find a cache by smell alone. That'll be a DING It's the Nurburgring Nordschleife (north loop) in the Eiffel mountains (hence tower) There was also a Suedschleife, whilst the bit in the bottom left is the current GP circuit. The modern F1 drivers are a right bunch of pansies aren't they! The caches are (all in German, natuerlich): Hatzenbach (GC174XY) Aremberg Kurve (GC13NZM) 24h Cache 2007 (GC15FY5) Steilstrecke/Hohe Acht/Caracciola-Karussell Bruenchen (GC1BXP2) Hoellejuenger (GC1CM9C) Lost Place: Suedschliefe Quote
+aRRKS Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Some very hard puzzles in this picture, took a while to crack them... Quote
Chudley Cannons Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 This was asked a few days ago. It's Bletchley Park and the cache is Station X - GC5FF4 Quote
+milvus-milvus Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Some very hard puzzles in this picture, took a while to crack them... I just had a deja vu moment... Quote
+aRRKS Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Applogies. I missed that one how about this one instead Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) That's a bit easy, it's Wrenbury, Wrenbury Heath, and your own series "The Plough" If Chudley Cannons gets here before I get home he/she/they can set the next one. Edited March 12, 2009 by MartyBartfast Quote
+Von-Horst Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Thats a brilliant idea for a set of caches! Quote
Chudley Cannons Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Already had one ready. The next George Best???? Quote
Chudley Cannons Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) this one is a little tougher than past submissions.... It looks like a race track, but with no stands. I wonder why? Edited March 12, 2009 by Chudley Cannons Quote
+Von-Horst Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) Because Ferrari don't like people to watch what they are doing.... Maranello, Nearset cache Globalid & Gianliuk "Passo Stretto 2004" (GCJMXX) Edited March 12, 2009 by Von-Horst Quote

+Von-Horst Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) After the colour and excitement of Italy, a nice easy one; What is it, where is it and what's the name of the adjacent cache? (Any insomniacs please feel free to self-ding) Edited March 12, 2009 by Von-Horst Quote
+Guanajuato Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) Does anyone else find themselves trying to drag the 'map' around for extra clues? Edited to add the answer too. Its the Ostankino Tower in Russia. I knew it was the big one in Russia. Showing my age (or age of the books I remember reading!), but I thought it was the tallest building in the world, but it turns out the tower in toronto is bigger, and has been since 1975. Cache is Ostankinskaya Bashnia So far, there have been 2 questions on big towers and I've got the answers to both. I'll just say I have absolutely no link with large concrete structures or civil engineering in general. For some reason, its just those useless (until now!) bits of trivia that just stick in your head for no apparent reason! Edited March 13, 2009 by Guanajuato Quote
+Von-Horst Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Ding! We saw the Ostankino Tower when we visited Moscow a few years ago (before we started caching ) and it is HUGE - its much broader than the CN Tower and appears to 'loom' over the city, and often disappears into the smog... There used to be a restaurant at the top but it closed after the tower caught fire a few years back. Quote
+Guanajuato Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Probably a dead easy one. Where is this birds eye view? and what are the two caches? Quote
+aRRKS Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) GCA133 Bird's eye View and GC1F8NN OK own up. Who caught crabs at Mudeford Quay?? Both in Christchurch Harbour I saw this location while searching for the previous one. There are two caches in this picture as well, either will do. Doesn't this look great, don't stare for too long you never know what will happen! Edited March 13, 2009 by aRRKS Quote

Doesn't this look great, don't stare for too long you never know what will happen! It's that place down west that also claims to have King Arthurs Sword!!! Would it be Loe Bar... and the cache would be: GC19GHY - Is this the world's best view? Quote
+aRRKS Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Correct! Have you got any pictures from the land side? It looks lovely. Quote
+Guanajuato Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 GCA133 Bird's eye View and GC1F8NN OK own up. Who caught crabs at Mudeford Quay?? Both in Christchurch Harbour A rather belated ding! Sorry I was thinking of 'When Noddy Looked Over the Harbour' Quote
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Continuing a sort of theme - wheres this place? and it's hilltop cache? Quote
+keehotee Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 It's Glastonbury Tor....and Glastonbury Tor Quote
