This is one of a series of puzzle caches created to celebrate the 2012 Olympic Games Sailing events to be held in Weymouth Bay.
IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS SERIES WILL BE ARCHIVED ON THE 30th SEPTEMBER 2013
We would like to thank the many cachers who have taken the time to attempt these caches,
The series consists of five rings of puzzle caches situated in Weymouth Bay and can be seen on the Geocaching.com map view. Each ring is designated a separate colour (Black, Red, Yellow, Blue and Green) and has an associated bonus solved by collecting information from the caches within that ring. Solving all five bonus puzzles will yield the coordinates of a final cache location (GC3BXN0 Sailing Rings - Race To The Podium), where Gold, Silver and Bronze medals await the first three successful geocachers. Most of the puzzles are designed to be solved at home and results can be checked using the associated geocheck.com link.
There are over 60 puzzles to solve so it is not a quick task to get to the end, but remember that all Olympians only reach their peak with hard work!
The cache is within five miles of the above location so please don't get your feet wet!
There are rumours that Captain Pugwash is visiting the Sailing events with his famous ship 'The Black Pig' and we have received the following telegram to warn of his position. Can you help us by deciphering it, there may be something of interest for you at the position.
The result can be checked online using the Geocheck link below. A location hint is provided on submission of the correct solution.
The creators of the series wish to thank our local reviewers and Groundspeak, who have been involved during its creation and given their permission for cache hides to be up to five miles distant from published coordinates.
