Geocache Description:

The (slightly changed) coordinates above are for a suitable parking spot NOT the final cache

The final cache location is about 2-300yds away and there are no other stages, so this is an (relatively) easy driveby once you have cracked the puzzle.

A little pot of Gold paper logs.

In order to find this cache you will need to solve the following puzzle based on Su Doku

Su Doku is a number placement puzzle based on a square grid, 9 squares by 9. The puzzle is further divided by bold gridlines in 9 boxes or regions each a square measuring 3*3. Certain numbers are already prefilled in for you. You need to enter the missing numbers so that each row, each column and each region contains the numbers 1 to 9 once and once only, without any repeats. (Note diagonals do not count). Once you have these numbers then you need to do the final conversion which should be simple to work out the location for the cache.



Once you have solved the puzzle then rearrange the numbers in the coloured squares into the following set of coordinates -

40 0X.XX0 83 0X.XXX


The final cache location is about 100 yds away from the published coordinates. The cache is hidden in a kids playground so bring the kids as they will enjoy the area and will provide great cover whilst you hunt for the cache. The park is open from dawn until dusk and is surrounded by houses so no night hunting please.

Hint1: The cache is a magnetic film can hidden out of sight (so you can not see it) but easily accessible (as long as no muggles are present)
