Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. Although the posted coordinates do have some significance, this is unlikely to be apparent until after you have found the word. Once you have found the the word, you should be able to find the cache.


One who loves words is apparently a logophile. Well whatever, I do like a good word!

I was walking through the centre of Bath recently along a route that I have used countless times. Suddenly I noticed a fabulous word that must have been in plain sight for years, but which I've never noticed before. I had no idea what it meant, but very soon all became clear.

Pleased with my discovery, I took a photo. However, when I looked at the image later, it had become completely corrupted; perhaps it was because my camera was wedged against the strong magnet that I had in my pocket, as I was on my way to hide a cache. Anyway, for what it's worth, here is the image.

 

Remarkably, although the image looks nothing like the scene I took, it (sort of) spells out the word, like an old gameshow I used to watch as a kid; but it's such a strange word, you probably wouldn't realise this without seeing the word.

So what I'd recommend, rather like those classic Bristol Curio caches, is to wander around Bath trying to find what I saw, by matching it with the puzzling image. This may be a rather frustrating task, so to help you out, I can confirm that what you seek lies within 200m of the posted coordinates.

Having found the word, you may then wish to head to where I hid the cache.
