Hmm.. I am told this logs here and to GC.com so gonna have a bash here. With some help from a fellow cacher I downloaded the cartridge to the Oregon and my phone. I was hoping to bring my daughter and Grandson out here today but their plans went awry so it was just myself and CarefreeCFC. I also downloaded the cartridge to his phone but for some reason (unknown) it refused to play ball after the first stage. Both of my devices had a hissy fit at the second stage but I think that was probably user error as we returned to the beginning, cleared the saved games and started over. Only one made it to the end but I shall explain that in a bit.

We suffered the same icy winds that are characteristic of this location.. can't wait till the hedging grows! We have both seen the film, one of us more than once and there was a little humming going on and the odd burst of riding bikes around the halls etc. The Oregon burst into life every once in a while which threw me as I have never heard anything but the odd beep previously. The pictures on the phone were great and the whole experience easier to manage through this and the larger screen. 

In spite of the cold (true to theme) we made our way to and fro, this way and that way.. that Marshmallow monster hasn't half got some throw on him, poor Olaf! We managed to recover all bar one of of Olaf's body parts but then we hit an obstacle.. security are throwing us out. It seems that time is up.. at 4pm... on a Saturday! CarefreeCFC held him off as I ran around the last few bits, (hence only completing on one device - the Oregon) finally succeeding in retrieving one of Olaf's key parts. There we had it, a set of digits for the final... and locked gates in every direction. Not one to be beaten, I'm afraid we were a bit naughty and skirted around the water to gain access. It was like something out of mission impossible.. run, hide.. run hide etc. We found the final safe as houses, signed ourselves in and sneaked our way back out.

A fun cartridge, which I shall (gladly) be repeating on Friday.. I have a bet on for my daughter signing up properly to GC this year, she'll love this and my Grandson definitely will.. he is a great mini-cacher and he is well excited every time we go out.. I have been saving swaps got him to trade now. TFTC/W. Fave point awarded.
