Geocache Description:

Red Olympic Ring - Cache #10



This series of 65 puzzle caches has been placed to celebrate the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics. Each ring is set by different cachers and contains 11 or 12 hides plus a bonus. The whole design is over 4km across. You will need to find all caches for a ring in order to find the bonus and complete the ring.

There are three Medal caches above the rings, Bronze, Silver and Gold. See the Bonus cache descriptions for how to find them. See the Gold Medal cache page for full series credits.

The Sussex Olympics Rings Team is: NogNod, Tootsie's Trackers, Cachedragon, Martletsman, ProfTonks, AnTsInRpAnTs & Lost!

The Red Ring Puzzles when solved will form a circular walk but the puzzles #1 to #12 can be done in any order.

Don't forget to collect the bonus cache information which is on the back of the log-sheets and the lids of the caches.

On the cache page of cache #1 GC3ENPH I have listed three possible parking areas for a couple of cars but please park with care and consideration.

The circular walk does include some country lanes so take care, especially if accompanied by children and/or dogs.

To find the cache solve the following puzzle:-

It may be of help if you know the maximum number of gold medals won by an indivdual at any Summer Olympics before 2012.
