Geocache Description:

The Puzzle Classic series is an attempt at introducing more puzzle caches to North Devon and hopefully encourage more caches in general to be set in the area.

In order to find this bonus, you must find all other six caches in the Puzzle Classics series and make a note of the number inside the logbook. The cache can be found at:
N51° AB.(C+100) W003° DE.F
The sum of the final co-ordinates should equal 42 and will be within 1 mile of the listed co-ordinates.

How to solve the puzzles:
Codebreaker (GC1D564)
Codebreakers are similar to crosswords, but they have no clues! Instead, each letter of the alphabet is replaced by a number; the same number represents the same letter throughout the puzzle. To start off, three letters are entered in the grid next to their appropriate number. Once these letters have been filled in, the solver can begin to start guessing words and other letters.

Crusadex (GC1D8R8)
Crusadex, or fill-in crosswords, are similar to jigsaws, in that the 'blocks' of words must be fitted into the blank grid to form a completed crossword. Only the 'across' clues are given to make the puzzle more challenging.

Kriss Kross (GC1D8XQ)
Fit the numbers into the grid. Simple!

Skeleton (GC1D6J3)
Also known as diagramless, or carte blanche, skeleton crosswords offers a grid with overall dimensions, but most clue numbers and black squares are not specified. As well as solving the clues like a normal crossword, the solver must also deduce the location of the black squares. The final solution will resemble a normal crossword, including some level of symmetry.

Sudoku (GC1D5QH)
The solver must fill in the game board so that the numbers 1 through 9 occur exactly once in each row, column, and 3x3 box. The numbers can appear in any order and diagonals are not considered. Your initial game board will consist of several numbers that are already placed. Those numbers cannot be changed. Your goal is to fill in the empty squares following the simple rule above.

Word Search (GC1D5N1)
Perhaps the simplest word-based puzzle, the solver must find the words in the given list within the grid. Sometimes secret messages are hidden within the grid...
