LOST In Weston

Just to elaborate a little, we were unable to get to the final locations after the Cartridge had completed to get the information about where to locate the cache. The GPS was insisting we had to go and have dinner in the house. I'm surprised the Oregon was that inaccurate, especially given it had done quite well up to that point, but there we go.

Like others we didn't do a couple of things important earlier on in the game since we were reluctant to squander it just in case Hurly demanded it as payment later on. This left us 3 bits of information down.

We tried to reload the cartridge but it was too late by that point and the damaged had been done. Unlike all other puzzles before completing the cartridge none of the final ones could be corrected/redone.

The remaining information after a bit of thinking we managed to remember/work out what they should be but with only half the information, we gave up.

For people like us that failed to find the cache, it might be wise to place the information about how to get back somewhere more accessible. At a guess the information would have taken us back through very wet fields, so at this time of year, far from ideal. I think in hind site, walking back the way we came would have been the best option, given the road was narrow in places and very busy with fast moving cars.

Only other comment is there is no sound for the Oregon (and I suspect the Colorado). That said, with the wind, I’m not sure I would have heard most of the sound anyway.

All in all up to the point of completing the cartridge and the story, a good trip (if perhaps a bit longer than suggested) with lovely views over the Severn and lots of wildlife to watch and worthy of many stars.
