Geocache Description:

This is the third in a series of caches with a difference, where the co-ordinates are given in coded numerical format.

There are six caches in this series, the first five of these have the co-ordinates shown in code. The code for each cache is different and they vary in difficulty but can be cracked with logic and maths before leaving home.

Each of these first five also contain one part of a five part pass code either in the form of a laminated card or a label inside the back of the logbook, this gives one character and it's position in the pass code. Please do not remove the laminated cards. When you have all five parts of the pass code please email it to us and we will then email you the uncoded co-ordinates for the sixth cache. Inside this are the usual goodies but instead of "Found It" cards there are certificates of achievement for the finders who have cracked all the codes and found the first five caches.

The Fourth Square cache is just outside the beautiful Berkshire village of Wickham. It is approached via a wide tarmac path leading to a level footpath flanked by mature trees and bushes.

The cache is a small ammo box inside a plastic bag and contains the usual goodies including some finder's cards. Please let us know if these need to be re-stocked.

The clue to the pass code is on a laminated card inside the cache.

The co-ordinates given are for the parking place where there is room for 1 - 2 cars.

The co-ordinates for the cache can be found from: -

N(81)(5)o (36)(40).(81)(68)(100) W(16)(4)(25)o (8)(100).(13)(144)(4)


The other five caches in this series are: -

Double the Fun
The Third Alternative
The Fifth Dimension
The Rule of Seven
The Final Countdown
