Please note

There is nothing of interest at the listed waypoint, but you will find the cache within 3km of there.

One of a series of technology caches in Hamilton If you enjoy this one, then have a look at GC1PRKD and GC13MVW

Invented by Ericsson, and named after the king Harald Blåtand, this is all around us these days. An august body of engineers knows it by a number, you need find this and to use the digits ABC.DE.F to decode waypoint 1. When researching, you might also find Harald's companions, so ignore anything Oracular or PC-ish; the name you want really is simple!

At WP1 you need to use some special equipment with Harald’s namesake, and enquire from him the location of the final. If you can’t get him to show the details, try sending him something.

At the final you are looking for a 2litre click-clack box, and you don’t need to go on any private property at any point during your mission.

Waypoint 1 is at 37 49 ABC-342 175 17 DEF+655


As always, it is important you re-hide the box well

Radionut50 acknowledges Papa Bear Left for the inspiration on this one.

Caution - the intermediate point for this puzzle was moved in August 2012, and the puzzle maths changed to suit - if you have solved this before August, but not found the final, you will need to do your sums again!
