Geocache Description:

The cache is approached from public footpaths (circular walks and part of the Hertfordshire Way) across open countryside. The cache is 1L container containing a log book, pencils and some small goodies.


In order to find the cache you need to solve the Sudoku puzzle shown below.

For the tiny few of you who have missed out on the Sudoku puzzle craze, which appear in nearly every daily paper now, here is the basic idea. A Sudoku grid consists of a 9x9 grid of squares which are also grouped into 3x3 sub squares. The squares can contain numbers between 1 and 9. The 3x3 sub squares and each row and column can only contain each of the numbers 1-9 once. For more details of Sudoku and tips on solving them see the website www.sudoku.com.

Once you have solved the Sudoku puzzle the coordinates for the cache can be found. The top left hand square of the puzzle is on row 1, column 1. Find the following numbers

            A= Row 2, Column 6

            B= Row 3, Column 9

            C= Row 2, Column 7

            D= Row 9, Column 5

            E= Row 8, Column 7

            F= Row 3, Column 2

            G= Row 5, Column 8
