World cup 2010 is over now, and with just 2 finds during the
tournament you didn’t do much better than England did in the
cup! I will leave the cache active and make the parameters easier
by set to “within 10m” go on have a go!
| This cache is based on the
popular magazine game where the football is air brushed out and you
have to guess where the ball should be. In this cache
version you are given the co-ordinates of the 4 corner flags at
Mansfield Town FC. The pitch is divided into a virtual 3m grid and
you have to guess which box the imaginary football is in.
Enter your guessed co-ordinates into the Geocheck box below and if
you are within 3m you will be rewarded by being given the
co-odinates of an actual cache close to the ground. |

| HINT: "It's a funny old game", use Google
Earth to help you find the possible co-ordinates; all you need is
patience and a little bit of luck
. |
| Enter your
guesses in the Geochecker on the right:- |
|
|
"Its a game of two halfs"
SPOT THE BALL (part
2)
|
|
Now you have guessed the
co-ordinates all you now need to do, is SPOT
THE BALL shaped cache hidden close to the ground.

"They Think It's All Over,
It Is Now!"
Man of the
match goes to Ian Rufford for scoring the first goal on this one.
Patience pays off in the end!
