Geocache Description:

-= Well I Have Cached 500 Days =-
(... but will I cache 500 more?!)

A Puzzle Event now being held at the Listed Co-ords... the original co-ords were for City Hall (pictured below). Now the puzzle has been removed the venue is within 10 minutes walk.


As the event is now approaching I have revealed the ACTUAL co-ords of the event as an Additional Way Point. For the name of the venue, you can still have a crack at the puzzle but there is no real need to... follow your GPS to the pub :D

I will be there from 1800h until the last cacher leaves! But I do have to work in the morning hehe

Belfast City Hall... NOT Where the Event will be ;)

If all goes according to plan, on Thursday October 6th 2011 I will have cached for 500 days! That may not sound like very long considering the likes of those who have cached for 5 years or more, but I'm not talking total... I'm talking consecutive. Yep, hold onto your GPSr's kiddies it's time to celebrate Zalgariath's 500 Day Geo-Streak!!!! (Hopefully.... :P)

GPS Gods willing I will have found a cache every day, for the past 500, and am politely reserving the right to seek professional help. But before I do, please come join this crazy Aussie for a pint and maybe a feed if you like :D

The Clues

Feel free to log a Note registering your intent to attend... but before you commit to a "Will Attend Log" you may want to work out exactly where to attend by answering some questions about your's truly. Most of the answers can be found by closely examining my GC.com Profile & Stats and some quick calendar counting. Pay special attention to the First Letter of each of your answers. They will spell out the name of the venue.

Q1 - What is my real Name?!
Q2 - This cache was my 1,000th find.
Q3 - It all started in this Australian State on May 25th 2010 – The 1st day of what would become the streak.
Q4 - Watt hill did I climb in Victoria on the 100th Day of my Streak?
Q5 - What significant extreme do GDR1250 and Great Dividing Range Earth Cache hold for me?
Q6 - At this event I found the 3rd Geocache ever hidden in Australia (Dec 2000).
Q7 - One of the World’s Must Do Caches I found on January 22nd 2011.
Q8 - My first FTF overseas was in Cork at this cache by Spark IE.
Q9 - My first D/T 5/5 cache was bagged in North Wales. Apparently it is only suitable for whom?
Q10 - This (at the moment sadly archived) cache trail helped me find a PB 50 caches in a day in March 2011 on foot and bike.
Q11 - The most number of caches I have found in a calendar month.
Q12 - My biggest Challenge in Ireland to date, I was the first non-local to record a Find against this cache in May 2011.
Q13 - I was caching in this English County the day I hit the 1 year Geo-Streak (365th Day)

The Answer

...Oh Dear! It seems in listing those questions in chronological order I have messed up the name of the pub! :( Looks like you will have to unscramble it! Once you are confident with your answer log a "Will Attend" claim as normal. If you want confirmation you are correct drop me a line but it should be obvious. If you are a smarty pants and cant actually attend but have solved the riddle, feel free to post a Note... obviously not including the answer :P

Hope to see as many as are able there. Hope even more I make the next 3 months unbroken and dont look very silly by not actually making the big 5-0-0!

Coming in via the Backdoor
Too tricky a puzzle? Only just discovered this event and want to come but dont have time to research? Never fear! The Puzzle is for fun, not exclusion... so to keep in with GS regs an announcement has now been made and the actual co-ordinates of the pub are now visible on the cache page. All you have to do is find us there :D
