Chapter and Verse (Bucks) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Team Hippo: Contrary to what I was advised when the Permissive Path was temporarily closed for Health & Safety reasons, the unsafe trees have not been sorted, and recently new notices have been posted advising of the 'tempory closure'. I was never happy with the temporary re-location, and I have decided with reluctance that it's not feasible to wait for the H&S work to be carried out (with no indication of when that might be) and that this cache will have to be closed down. Thanks to all who visited.

Geocache Description:

The above co-ords are not of the cache, but of a place you might find useful later on in your quest, if your timing is right (or you could always go home again!).


From here make your way south along Churchway until you come to the pond (you might as well drive – it’s a boring walk and there’s plenty of parking when you get there). Now on foot, skirt the east hand side of the pond, pass through the obvious opening and walk the points of the compass from north to west to south to east. Standing at the centre of the east end, turn and face south. Walk straight forward until you spot two similar (but emotionally dissimilar) objects and a musical instrument. Here you will also see a very obvious clue and must diligently seek out a reference that you will need to go away and look up.

 

To find the location of the cache make the following substitutes (A=1, B=2 etc and dropping the leading digit of any double-digit numbers), where:

 

A is the third of the sixth of the first

B is the second of the fourth of the third

C is the fourth of the fourth of the sixth

D is the seventh of the eighth of the ninth

E is the first of the third of the second

V is the third of the twenty second of the eleventh

W is the second of the third of the fourth

X is the third of the sixth of the sixth

Y is the first of the second of the eighth

Z is the last of the last of the last

 

Recommended approach to the final cache is in from the east. There is adequate road-side parking, and a pleasant walk along a permissive path.

Update 23 March 2012

The final cache has had to be moved for the time being, as the Permisssive Path has been temporarily closed. Use the calculations above to determine the original location, and then ADD 0.221 minutes to the northings and ADD 0.124 minutes to the westings to find the new, revised location. The cache has been temporarily changed to a micro.
