Geocache Description:

UK Mega Essex 2015
This wherigo will take you on a short stroll to the 10 historic buildings in Saffron Walden and follows the official trail laid by the town council.

Saffron Walden Town Trail Wherigo





This is my very first wherigo. It has been created as a tour-guide style cartridge to take you on a tour around the historic buildings and sites of Saffron Walden Town. You will need to visit each location in order and the final cache coordinates will be presented to you at the end of the cartridge. You will need to find a number from a plaque at one of the locations to give you the full final coordinates. The cartridge will prompt you when you are in the correct spot to find that number. Please pay close attention to the cartridge text as you won't be able to find the final without this number.

We've fully tested this released cartridge using the latest version of the Android Wherigo app, "Where You Go" and the iPhone app "PiGo". An earlier version of this cartridge was also tested on a Garmin Oregon (Many thanks to mjouk for lending me it!). Since the tests on the Oregon, the cartridge has stayed the same, however a few extra photos have been added, but I don't forsee any major problems from the additonal photos.


You can download the cartridge from the Wherigo website by clicking here.

I'm hoping that this will play ok on all devices and not cause anyone any problems with crashing. To help with the testing and to ensure that the cartridge is fully compatible with all devices I'd really appreciate if you could mention in your logs which device you used to play it on and any problems you noticed, or whether everything went smoothly.

There are two parking places listed for the cartridge. The first is for the free carpark in Catons Lane, N52°01.631, E00°14.465. Parking here will mean a longer walk to the first starting zone, but a shorter walk back to the car after finding the final cache. The second is for parking in the paid car park on the Saffron Walden Common, N52°01.436, E00°14.616. The charges here are 60p for an hour, £1 for 2 hours, and free after 6pm or on Sundays/Bank Holidays. The cartridge can be completed in under an hour if all goes smoothly, however we'd recommend allowing yourself around 1.5hours.
