DNF Hound: Well, it appears this has run its course, and so this and its corresponding cache in Lincolnshire itself are being archived. Thank you to all who did the extra work this multi required in order to partake in the fun. 😘

Geocache Description:

Do multi-caches scare you? Too much work for just one smiley? Did you finally click on this one hoping it would be fun and different? Because you just scored big.

This is a three part multi which requires you to reach out to a cacher in Lincolnshire, England to complete. It was inspired by the With a little help from a friend - in Virginia cache created a few years ago by local caching legend Mountain Lovers.


This multi also has a mirror of itself in England, With A Little Help From A Friend In California, GC5BVFN, which gives you the opportunity to help out a cacher in Lincolnshire.

Visiting stage one at the coordinates above will give you coords for stage two in England. Then the fun begins.

"Write a note" as a log below, announcing you are looking for a partner in the U.K. Add this cache to your "watch" list." I'd suggest posting the same note on the "California" cache in England too. Once a U.K. cacher agrees to help, give them the coordinates to stage two. There they will find your final coords.

Let the cacher know that after you have found the final and logged it, they will be able to log it themselves as found, thus earning a badge on their profile for caching in the United States. This is controversial. Some cachers, despite the Virginia cache precedent, seem to think it's unseemly to claim a find you only assisted with. To each his own. Claim it or not, helpful Brits. It's not like we're getting paid per cache. Groundspeak is fine with it.

Once you have found the cache, please sign the log with both your name AND that of the person who helped you with the find.

Try to contact someone new in England, someone who has not helped yet. Make new friends. Share the smileys and badges.

Special thanks to Pete M. for placing and maintaining the U.K. stage. Happy caching!

FTF gets $5 prize. Final has room for small swag or TB's.

Congrats to jbird and zip for FTF
