ADVENT-ure Challenge Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

TeamElliottFamily: Sad to say this one needs to go. Maintaining this cache from 5hrs away is just too tricky. That said, keep your eyes open for the same challenge, it may be reborn but shift to Christchurch! Thanks to all the cachers who completed the challenge.

Geocache Description:

The season of Advent is a very special (and very busy!) time at our place.


Advent is the Ecclesial season of preparation for Christmas. Each week there is a different theme and reading that helps us to look toward the meaning of Christmas. Many traditional Churches light a candle each week as part of their Advent services.

Last year to add a little something extra to Advent I set myself the goal of finding a geocache for every day, alas I didn't quite make my goal and ended up missing three days =(

This caching challenge gives you the opportunity to add a little something extra to advent too.... if you are up to it!

In 2012 Advent starts on the 2nd of December and ends on the 24th of December. To complete this challenge and find the final location you will need to do the following:
Find a cache on at least 19 of the 22 days of advent.
Three of those caches must be multi caches
One cache must have a terrain rating of three or higher.
One cache must have a difficulty of two or higher.

When you have completed all of the criteria list the caches in a note below and I will then approve the finds and accept your found log. (This challenge is available to anyone around the world, but please note the final is in Dunedin) This challenge is available for the season of Advent past, present and future. If you decide to have a crack at this challenge please post a note below so I know how much swag to load this cache up with! NB: This placement has been approved by Monsignor John Harrison of St Joseph's Catholic Cathedral
