Iota Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Knagur Green: Due to no response from the CO after the request to maintain or replace the cache, I am archiving it to, stop it showing on the listings and/or to create place for the geocaching community.

The Geocache Maintenance guideline explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival. This is explained in the Help Center

If the CO feels that this cache has been archived in error please feel free to contact me within 30 days, via email or message via my profile ,quoting the GC number concerned

Thank you for understanding

Geocache Description:


Iota

 

The ninth in the Greek Alphabet series ….

 

The location of this cache is where one can do all sorts of recreational activities to enhance the body and soul as well as take out a book (after acquiring membership), have a bite to eat and enjoy the picturesque and tranquil surroundings.

 

The venue appears to be accessible seven days a week during regular operating hours.

 

This is sometimes a busy location but the cache is hidden in a secluded spot away from prying eyes.  Please ensure that it is well hidden again before leaving using the natural materials lying around.  Please make sure that no-one follows you to the location as you will then be ‘cornered’ so to speak and be up a creek without a paddle.

 

The cache is in a small container and is only suitable for small trade items.

 

In order to find the cache you will need to solve the following simple Word Search puzzle based on the sport of Geocaching.

 

Find each of the following words in the grid below then follow the instructions to arrive at the final coordinates.

 

Now find the missing co-ordinates as follows by counting the position of the letters taken from the above word list.  When counting, do so from the left (across) or from the top (down).

 

S26.AB.CDE

S028.FG.HIJ

 

The D in DIFFICULTY down minus 14 = A

The M in MINUTES across = B

The F in FINDS across = C

The G in POSITIONING across = D

The S in DEGREES down = E

The L in VIRTUAL down minus 1 = F

The G in GLOBAL across minus 20 = G

The H in GEOCACHE across = H

The second I in TRADITIONAL down = I

The A in TERRAIN down minus 4 = J
