Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

This is a multi-cache which requires you to indulge in a little spy work and code-breaking.

To find the location of From ENIGMA to ECHELON - The Stash you need to crack this code.

USIMM EXLZP CQIVO DMHUF MTBOW VKGEF

CTMEC QHPON YKGEZ YLKGM GHODF JGMLQ MPGGJ VVXB

To crack the code you will need to visit to points:

(a) N53 46.155 W1 35.029 and

note the words and numbers that you find there.

(b) N53 46.872 W1 32.677

The message is encrypted using the Vigenere encryption system. This system requires the use of a keyword to enable you to decrypt the code. The keyword can be found at location (b) and is the word that comes after the word "professional" on the sign.

If you decrypt the code successfully the message that you now have will start and end with the word "CORRECT", remove the words “CORRECT” and you will be left with another encoded message.

Email me the first six characters of the remaining message to claim the find. You may now move on to From ENIGMA to ECHELON - The Stash where you will be given instruction on how to decode the remainder of the message.
