+sTeamTraen Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 GCGZC5 Burryd Treasure at the end of the Gower peninsula (one of my wife's childhood haunts). Quote
+sTeamTraen Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 The thin trail coming down from the marker is a spit of land about 10 metres wide. Everything either side, green or blue, is water. It's a 6-mile round trip even if you park illegally at the bottom of the picture. I was FTF on this cache, so you could brute-force it via my profile, or use other forms of logic... Quote
Tooeygeotrashed Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Is this Quiz making you see Red ? Name the cache were X marks the spot. Quote
Tooeygeotrashed Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) Reds down under (today), not under the bed ! Edited April 30, 2009 by Tooey Quote
Tooeygeotrashed Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 You want more clues??? or has everyone lost interest?? Quote
+Teuchters Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 You want more clues??? or has everyone lost interest?? Yes... Quote
Tooeygeotrashed Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 You want more clues??? or has everyone lost interest?? Yes... Yes what, you want more clues or you lost interest??? It's darn under, it's an island, it a day of the week and the cache has something to do with Reds under the bed, I've said too much already Quote
+T.R.a.M.P. Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 It's darn under, it's an island, it a day of the week and the cache has something to do with Reds under the bed, I've said too much already ... you did indeed How about The Russians are Coming Quote
+T.R.a.M.P. Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Ding Thank you Try this one, nearer home - the cache at location X Quote

+T.R.a.M.P. Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 GC1DMVQ - Traditional Cache Swiss Franc Evergreen DING! Over to you Well spotted MartyBartfast - I've been searching coastal areas That was the idea before giving clues... Quote
+Just Roger Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Where is it and what's the cache: Top end of Spurn Head. "Oi. Can anyone hear a zeppelin?" Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Where is it and what's the cache: Top end of Spurn Head. "Oi. Can anyone hear a zeppelin?" Yep, DING Quote
+Just Roger Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 There is not a cache here, nor is there ever likely to be, but if there were it should be called "***** Mk 2" where **** is a cache that has already appeared on this thread. Which cache is ****? Quote
+keehotee Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 That's GCHQ in Cheltenham. The only one I can think of is The Russians Are Coming 2 Quote
+Just Roger Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 That's GCHQ in Cheltenham.The only one I can think of is The Russians Are Coming 2 AArgh - if that is the opposite of ding. Yes it's GCHQ but there is a more obvious Mk 2 cache early on in this thread Quote
+Just Roger Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Station X Mk2 ? DING That's the one I was after. GCCS was the Government Codes & Cipher School, which I think was in N.London somewhere. Early in the war it moved to Bletchley park and became Station X. This is where the Station X cache is. Then after the war it moved to Cheltenham and became GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) Quote
+The Forester Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Those NNE/SSW striations in the geology are instantly recognisable. I've flown over them enough times to have that place engraved in my synapses. Many times I've thought that the secluded beach would be well worth a visit. FFS don't tell Pimply Saul about this place; the booger'll have a cache event there on midsummer's day just for the sake of it! Mellon Udrigle I don't dare attempt to pronounce Gaelic names 'cos the natives always giggle when I do, but if I were to guess, then I'd say something like "MeauwOoee". Quote
+Teuchters Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 And the cache is Wester Ross Wanderer # 2 (and I was FTF!!!) Quote
Tooeygeotrashed Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Forester may well be correct in his naming of the place, but I feel the Ding should go to Highland Nick since he actually named the cache, which although I know I had not specifically asked for, it is generally the trend of this thread so I am hoping Forester is ok with that. Quote
+The Forester Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 But I did name the cache! The cache's name is Mellon Udrigle. In view of the fact that question actually asked "where this is?" and in view of the fact that the name of the cache which I found on GC.com by searching with the co=ords of that beach is Mellon Udrigle, surely the first answer was more correct than the one which did not answer the question which was asked? Have I misunderstood the rules of game? Isn't the whole point of the quiz to answer the question which is asked? Quote
Chudley Cannons Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 I tend to agree with the Forester! me too. Quote
+Bambography Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 I tend to agree with the Forester! Generally, or on this particular occasion?? I too agree. Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 so I am hoping Forester is ok with that. Obviously he isn't. The Forester did give the location and by giving that he also inadvertently gave half of the cache name, or it could be vice versa. If it was my decision, then to keep the peace I would give The Forester the ding. It has to be said that if I was being pedantic HighlandNick never actually gave the full name of the cache either.

+Teuchters Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Looking forward to a pic being posted soon by someone...... Quote
+The Forester Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 To give a sense of scale, the distance from the figure's right ankle to left wrist is about a hundred feet. Quote
+chizu Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 OO that'll be "Gulliver" in Edinburgh, the nearest cache would be Gulliver, that we were FTF on! Looks a lot more impressive from the air than on the ground! Quote
+chizu Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Great - first time I've got one! What is the cache in the picture? Quote
+Teuchters Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 White Heron Castle cache GC1NEJ6 Himeji Castle, Hyogo, Japan Quote

+Teuchters Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 There's a cache right at the centre of this image between two seas. Quote
Tooeygeotrashed Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 But I did name the cache! The cache's name is Mellon Udrigle.

Have I misunderstood the rules of game? Isn't the whole point of the quiz to answer the question which is asked? Oooops. my apologies - I hadn't realised the cache name began with Mellon Udrigle - I only remembered the Wester Ross Wanderer #2 part of the name, Ding albeit late to Forester, and again my apologies. Clang to Highland Nick Quote
