Someone mentioned I needed to round off my cache hides and
place a multi. So here it is.
I wanted it to be a three stage but one stage I found out later in
the day I could not use. So it got a little easier for you. It's a
straight forward multi, One WP and then the final. At WP1 you are
looking for a container with coords for the final. No hints will be
posted, I did say it was a straight forward multi.
