How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

The hitchhikers guide to the cache is a series of 9 caches plus a bonus 10th cache which can be done as a puzzle cache by collecting the code answers on the way round. The series is set between the villages of Papworth and Elsworth and is a celebration of the outstanding works of Douglas Adams.

These caches follow the story of the hitchhikers guide from the untimely destruction of Arthur Dent's house to the discovery of 'the question' of life, universe and everything. Each cache represents a different highlight within the books and is therefore accompanied by appropriate quotes to make your caching that little bit more enjoyable. 

The route should take 2.5 to 3 hours depending on your slowest walkers. It is child friendly in general but a small portion is along a fast road and there is some deep water to be aware of near 2 of the cache sites so supervision on young geocachers is important. 

Not all of the caches contain a code answer so be sure to check them thoroughly before moving on. 

The bonus cache is the only one designed for swaps and TBs so please don't place them in any of the others. 

There is the opportunity to collect at least 7 other caches on the way round.

"Another thing that got forgotten was the fact that against all probability a sperm whale had suddenly been called into existence several miles above the surface of an alien planet. And since this is not a naturally tenable position for a whale, this poor innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity as a whale before it then had to come to terms with not being whale anymore." 

Happy caching
