Geocache Description:


This series of 65 puzzle caches has been placed to celebrate the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics. Each ring is set by different cachers and contains 11 or 12 hides plus a bonus. The whole design is over 4km across. You will need to find all caches for a ring in order to find the bonus and complete the ring.

There are three Medal caches above the rings, Bronze, Silver and Gold. See the Bonus cache descriptions for how to find them. See the Gold Medal cache page for full series credits.

The Sussex Olympics Rings Team is:

nognod, Tootsie's Trackers, cachedragon, martletsman, proftonks, AnTsInRpAnTs & lost!

Welcome to the Olympic Green Ring Series.

There are 11 Puzzles; each with a Cache pot to find. Each of the pots contain 2 letters/ numbers you need to collect towards locating the Bonus Cache.

All are within the Haywards Heath area & would suit a planned drive & Cache approach. There is no recommended or necessary order in which to do them.

Some locations feature a muddy approach or final location. Some feature Stingers & prickles. Some require a bit of an upwards reach or climb. Other than that - they’re as safely placed as can be.

PUZZLE EIGHT

Johnny went on to play Tarzan. How many Olympic Gold medals? = B

Before saying ‘Flash’ then meant saying “Ahhh-Ah!” - Mr. Crabbe won the 400m freestyle in 193F.

He played Gideon Jackson in Freedom Road. Will Smith played him. Year he won Gold? 19GA.

Officer Steve McLeish also popped up in Murder, She Wrote and The Love Boat. The number of letters in his real name = C and E respectively.

Before there was the Energizer Bunny, Mary Lou Retton was their perky spokesperson. Her own show was called Mary Lou’s ? ? ? Take the number of letters in the second word away from the number of letters in the first to = D. Add the letters of all three words together, and the first digit of the 2 digit total you now have = H

The Cache may then be found at:
