This cache will take you on a short tour of Snakemoor, a
small nature reserve just outside Haddenham. The land is owned by
AVDC, but the reserve is maintained by Haddenham Parish Council and
local volunteers for the benefit of the community. You can read
more about the reserve here.
You are not going to see adders here, but if you’re lucky you
may see grass snakes. If you do, please admire them but on no
account interfere with them; apart from being a
protected species, they are completely harmless to
you, your children and dogs.
There is limited parking at the gate just west of Haddenham
railway station (Haddenham with Thame Parkway ) on the Haddenham
– Thame road.
Listed below are a number of statements. The location above
is for a micro, which contains a number of similar statements and
the co-ords for a second micro with further statements. You must
use the facts contained in all three lots of statements to decipher
the co-ords for the final cache (use the grids below to help, or
you may find it useful to print out image 4 and take a pair of
scissors to it! Then decide which pieces to discard and shuffle the
remaining ten pieces about to fit all the statements)
Four of the colours
can be inferred from the given co-ords
Three colours
appear twice
Bottom
centre and bottom right are the same
Once you have arranged the colours so that all the statements are true,
you should end up with a two rows of five colours each, one or more
of which may be repeated. The top row represent the northings and
the bottom the westings, so reading from left to right substitute
each colour for a number from this grid:
and now use this table to translate these colours onto the
co-ords for the final cache.
