Geocache Description:

A simple and silly puzzle cache.

The headline coordinates are only for the general area. You'll have to take pot luck with parking, I'm afraid, but you might find some near point Y1.

Q: Why do you mark the spot with a Y?

A: Why not? Besides, I couldn't find a suitable X.

Q: How does it work then?

A: These three points

Y1: N 51 49.312 W 001 17.106
Y2: N 51 49.306 W 001 17.047
Y3: N 51 49.270 W 001 17.127

sort of define a big Y.

Q: I thought three points define a triangle?

A: Well, if you actually visited those points, or even (if you're shameless) looked at a sufficiently good map, you'd find they defined a Y. Y marks the spot!

Please be very careful how you search in this urban area. The cache is well above ground level and can be quite easily spotted (from the right place, of course) before reaching in. You're looking for a specially-adapted 35mm film canister - please retrieve carefully - don't just grab and pull!
