It is OK to put spoilers/pics in your logs. It may help someone.


THE ESSEX WAY caches are hidden to be found so you can enjoy the walk, if you find a wet/damp log or a missing container and carry spares I am happy for it to be replaced and will check on my next visit. You will know if a container is missing. TAKE NOTE this is only for caches owned by ERZ-N-MYN.


Halfway at St Nicholas Chapel, Coggeshall. The End at High and Low Lighthouse.


Use predictive text to solve the hint. That is texting or SMS on an old phone. Use the numbers & letters from the multi caches for the keyboard layout. Add the following to your list - "Full Stop"=5, "Space"=0

For example, you will have a list like this but the alphabet letters will be mixed.

1 = A B C
2 = D E F
3 = G H I
4 = J K L
5 = M N "Full Stop"
6 = O P Q
7 = R S T
8 = U V W
9 = X Y Z
0 = "Space"

For example if the numbers were 0567730, then

0 = "Space"
5 = M N "Full Stop"
6 = O P Q
7 = R S T
7 = R S T
3 = G H I
0 = "Space"

can make up the word "north", and so on...
