The Christmas Word.. Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Dalesman: This cache has been in need of care and maintenance for some time and as the owner has not responded to my note I am archiving it.

Guidelines:**You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time - normally a few weeks - in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing.**

Geocache Description:


The Christmas word..

This is a normal cache in it's own right, but just for a bit of fun, I have included a bit of a Christmas tease. (sorry if it is not Christmas when you do it, but you can always wait)

The cache is located at N ab cd.efg W 001 hi.jkl, not at the above co-ords. If you go there you will find yourselves at Harrogate Railway Station

In order to find the cache, I think you may have to solve the Christmas word in the word search below to give the actual co-ordinates of the cache position, alternatively the word search could be a 'red herring' !

Alternatively visit all the above 15 possible cache locations and you might find it, or it might be at some location not listed and you have to work it out !

If its driving you crazy, pop a DNF on the page, and ask me for a clue, or two, or three !

p.s. don't think of trying to search the locations on streetmap, they are all valid and possible locations !
