Geocache Description:

After more than 900 finds, I thought it would be about time to place my first own cache, wouldn’t you agree… 

So, here it is...

This cache is a tribute to the scout group “Don Bosco Houwald” where I spent many years in my youth. The way has a length of approx. 3 km and can be done in about 1 hour. The above coordinates are those of the scout home and here you can park (don’t forget to place your parking disc!) and get started.

To find WP1, you first have to answer these 2 quite simple questions:
 
1. What anniversary did the scout group Don Bosco Houwald celebrate in 1986? This value gives you A.
 
2. In front of the scout home, you will find a curious tree formation: which letter does this formation resemble? The alphabetical order of the letter gives you B.
 
Now you can calculate WP1 and get started… have fun!
 
One last thing: do not underestimate the T-rating if you are not quite the “physical” type… in other words: it is not a T5 but for some it might well be…
