Please note that this series of caches will be archived on 31 December 2021 and the containers uplifted. Please complete any site visits before that date.
For some people, caching is about numbers. For others it's about the location or cache container. But for Munro and the Mega Team, it's about the friends we have made and those frendships that will be formed during Mega Week. This cache is interactive and will require you to work with your friends to get this cache. The cache is not at the posted coordinates.
In order to find this cache, you will need the following:
- A smart phone with internet connection.
- Somewhere between 2 - 8 of your favorite caching friends, also with a smart phone (the exact number of friends is a mystery and adds to the difficulty/challenge of this cache).
- Open https://geotrailsw.com/mob on your smart phone.
- Verify that the accuracy displayed is reasonable (hopefully less than 20m/60ft or so.)
- Which mob are you attending? When prompted, enter the number 3617.
- This will open a screen that will navigate you to the posted coordinates (Crathes Castle) where you will attempt to assemble your geo mob.
- Once the website verifies you are at the location, the counter bumps up.
- When the counter reaches the required number of people, the coordinates for the cache will be revealed.
- Everyone needs to be within a set distance of Crathes Castle until the revealed information is recorded, or written down, or photographed, or memorized within your photographic memory. Record this information right away! If people leave the mob area, the page you are looking at may disappear and no longer show you the needed coordinates for the geocache. (It takes a minute.)
- Program your GPS or your smartphone to find the final location, as the website you are using will not navigate you to the cache location.
Enjoy this unique way of caching and enjoy caching with your friends. Please preserve the spirit of this Geo Mob by not disclosing the coordinates of the final location to those who do not meet as a group as intended.
Please see the first cache in the series for parking waypoints.
