An interesting walk around some of the historic sites in the city centre, and not too long. The phone reception was reasonably good and each gz was close enough to the actual feature to find the answer without too much trouble

I completed this WiG alone using a powered wheelchair - for me, it was perfectly accessible, which I really appreciate.

I enjoyed the theme of the lost Geocoins, and the “walk” around the city centre.

The cartridge got a bit sticky at one point, but a quick reboot sorted that out.

I did most of the cartridge at first attempt, but my phone was running out of juice, so I saved the cartridge and used what was left in the phone to navigate back to the area my hotel was in. I found the last coin with instructions on how to get to the GZ a couple of days later.

This probably took me longer than most but I enjoyed the cartridge and lack of hassles along the way, very much.

Thank you for all your hard work putting this together, your efforts are appreciated 👍🐝

Straightforward walk. Found the GPS accuracy with my iphone a bit of a problem, as final location seemed to stay 200-300ft away when I was walking around several blocks. Thanks anyway.

I thoroughly enjoyed doing this interesting wherigo, collecting virtual geocoins around Manchester.

I enjoyed playing this Wherigo despite my counting skills not always being up to scratch! No issue finding the cache, went straight to it without needing the hint.

Today was Mega Geocoin Manchester Day - the sun was shining and we travelled from Preston by train in a very good mood - quite perfect for this event in the heart of the City
After arriving at the station there was quickly clear - there are a lot of other cachers around from all over the world.
On our way to the event locations we visited some caches.
The event itself was very well organized and the Exchange Hall, Manchester Central Exhibition Centre was crowded with busy geocachers - buying coins and solving the riddles of the LAB caches here.
This was cache No 8 today and after an interesting walk along the Peter Street we found the little, but full logbook quickly

Thank you for this cache and greetings from Switzerland !

A really nice idea to follow the lost geocoins of former GeocoinFests! Since we have visited all of them we knew the coins very well and remembered some really great trips we made, while walking through Manchester together with Belemnoidea.
Many thanks for the commemorating wherigo!
Sandra and Thorsten and Caren
