Geocache Description:

No magic, no dragons, just an ordinary walk in the Park.

The Location: Braidburn Valley Park has been a public park since 1933. It is located in South Edinburgh in the Morningside/Oxgangs area. The Park is a steep grassy valley cut in two by the Braid Burn which flows north from the Pentland Hills to the Firth of Forth.
The Park covers 11 hectares making it the fourth biggest Community Park in Edinburgh. In 2007, it was awarded Scotland’s first Green Flag for excellence in parks. The Park is open to the public 24 hours a day. It is popular for dog walking, informal sports and relaxing – whether it is playing hide and seek, or seeing cherry blossom from the top of a passing bus. (source)
The Game: You are a visitor of the park. Take a stroll and enjoy the scenery. If you come across other (virtual) people or find any (virtual) items just behave as you would in real life (within the limits of the interface. ). Good deeds will be rewarded and on successful completion of the cartridge you will receive the coordinates of a (real) micro cache. The wherigo will present you with a list of tasks as the story unfolds. Whenever a task is completed the cartridge will safe the game, but you may want to save more frequently. The story is non-linear and zones can be visited in any order, so turn your device on as soon as you enter the park through any of the entrances in the north, south, east or west.
The Cartridge: You can download the cartridge by clicking on the icon to the left. I have tested it on the official Groundspeak player, on OpenWig and on WhereYouGo. It has also been confirmed working on Oregon and Colorado. (Garmin players will miss out on the audio though.) PiGo on the iphone unfortunately does not work with this cartridge.
