Description

Bingle



There's been a pile up. 21 cars (all the same model too), have mangled themselves and it looks like everyone is walking home.  This cache is part of the 'Transport' themed cache race for the 2012-2013 period. It's a moveable box, so when you find it, you can pick it up and move it somewhere else. 

This cache contains swaps, a logbook and pencil. Please rehide the cache well after moving it. It kinda stands out with all those bright colours on the lid!

There's a few rules to follow if you are playing the Bingo Caching Game - see below.

Thanks for taking the time to find this cache!

Had a search for Bingle before the Space Launch Pad Event but couldn't locate it. After ten months it's either buried itself in the bushes or been swept away in a flood, unfortunately the colourful looking Bingle was a DNF for us.

Left not far from Bionic Carrots. Perhaps the SES can help get this traffic accident sorted. We have hydraulic jaws of life and experienced Road Crash Rescue teams.
