Geocache Description:


 

 

DUE TO THE LACK OF INTEREST IN TACKLING THIS CHALLENGE AS A WHOLE AND THE DIFFICULTY OF MAINTENANCE IT WILL NOT BE MAINTAINED AS A SERIES AFTER EASTER 2023. AFTER THIS DATE THE VOWELS AND BONUS ARE LIKELY TO BE REMOVED WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE. IF YOU ARE ATTEMPTING THE SERIES AND GETTING CLOSE TO COMPLETION AT THAT TIME LET ME KNOW AND I'LL LEAVE A CACHE IN PLACE FOR YOU BUT ASK THAT YOU TO REMOVE IT WHEN YOU VISIT.

This is Alphabet Challenge V, a small bison hidden near Venford Brook.

The Alphabet Challenge consists of 25 caches plus the bonus (Z).

There are 5 individual series consisting of 4 consonants giving information for the vowel in each group.

The order of caches to find,

A needs B,C,D,F

E needs G,H,J,K

I needs L,M,N,P

O needs Q,R,S,T

U needs V,W,X,Y

Z needs A,E,I,O,U

Parking is available at Venford reservoir.

The cache has been moved from it's previous location which was lovely for a picnic and a paddle in the brook because the location was no longer viable. I recommend you do take a stroll down and enjoy it though.

PLEASE NOTE WAS AN ERROR IN THE BONUS INFO ON THE LOG IN THIS CACHE, BETWEEN 25 FEB. 2016 AND 1 JULY 2016 VISITORS DURING THAT TIME WILL NEED TO ADD 7 TO THE GIVEN VALUE FOR O.
