Catch the Cuckoo

This has been the funnest and most challenging multi-cache TeamWolfie has attempted to date – Catch the Cuckoo (GCNAMA) is a very clever concept by Grank. Without giving too much away, in search for the Cuckoo you need to locate four of its “eggs” – hidden in other geocaches, all of which are within a 3km radius of this multi-cache.

One of those particular caches had been giving us some grief, and it wasn’t until our fourth attempt today we were able to get the final egg to reveal the location of the much treasured Cuckoo’s nest – so as soon as this information was at hand we made our way to GZ immediately, arriving there just after 9am this morning.

The location made perfect sense, so we were confident we had the numbers right. Now it was just a case of getting down and dirty and finding it. At one point I was standing almost on top of it saying “GZ is here, but I can’t see where it can possibly be…”, only to find after another 30 minutes of searching that I had been basically right next to it – the whole search taking about 45 minutes.

Cuckoo Cuckoo! Wolfie wants to EAT you.

It was very satisfying to get this one done. We left a white rabbit, took nothing, signed the log. And that Cuckoo – it was all soft and squishy, and feels quite yucky to squeeze… and Wolfie wanted to eat it, but we managed to get the Cuckoo safely back into hiding.

Thanks for the cache Grank, this one was a lot of fun.
