ADVANCE WARNING - The Flashbacks Smile series will be archived in September 2021, so please ensure you have Found them before then.
There are 20 caches in this new series, which can be walked or cycled (just over 6 miles / 10 km including some gradients! – we would suggest parking at N51 20.344 E0 37.831) or they can be (mostly) cache and dashed (you may struggle to park safely and conveniently close to a few though). They can be done in either direction. Please note that these are sometimes very narrow country lanes which can be quite busy, so please keep GeoKids and GeoHounds safe! There is both food and liquid refreshment en route.
There are a few longish distances between caches either because we couldn’t find anywhere suitable to hide them, we had issues with the locals, or because there are other caches causing proximity issues – but the latter does mean that there are a few other caches for you to pick up at the same time if you haven’t already got them!
So to the puzzle: This one features jazz and swing artists.
All you have to do is name the artist, then do the sums at the bottom of the page.
A
B
C
D
E
F
You will then be able to work out the location of the cache:
N51 21. (E: Is) (C: Ls) (F: Ts + D: Zs + A: Ls)
E0 37. ((D: Es x C: Es) x A: Ns) (F: Ns x B: Ls) (E: Ns – B: Ys)
The difficulty relates to the puzzle and the hide; the terrain relates to the final GZ.
