Yella Belly logged this “Finally got to attack this Virtual cache but it did take me three days to complete. Enjoyed the challenge but very interesting to do. Have email my answers to the CO and hopefully all well. Definitely worth a favorite point so thanks to Big Matt and Shell for setting it up."
Team GBS wrote “We never pass up on the opportunity presented by a Virtual Cache and having noticed this one we were determined to undertake it, and so having arrived in Newcastle late yesterday afternoon we were soon walking along the Breakwater towards waypoint 1. We then continued on the trail through to waypoint 4, making our Fields Notes and taking the required photos. By this stage it was now completely dark and so we pulled out of the trail and returned to complete it this morning. We have subsequently submitted our answers to the CO who we thank for the Virtual cache. A favourite point definitely awarded and greetings from Zimbabwe”.
Team Canary logged this response “A lovely wander around the nearest city to where I grew up and spent many teenage train trips and also where I went to University for a year. Thanks for all the memories. A lovely afternoon”.
