Geocache Description:

This is the second of the Pub Road series caches. Don't forget to keep a count of the number of pub legs seen since leaving Rogate Common and note down the Westing co-ordinate for the third in the series Griggs Green (GC17KVV) from this cache when you find it.


The cache is NOT at the location listed, the co-ordinates given are to provide an idea of the locality.

Generally the PetersfieldPoodlePosse are not too good at solving puzzle caches. Periodically we sit at the table and try and solve some of the less onerous ones; when the answers are found they are usually, to quote Sherlock Holmes, “elementary my dear Watson”.

We therefore thought it only fair to include a few words in the previous paragraph to help you with the following conundrum which you will need to solve to determine the starting co-ordinates before setting out:

N 51 Li.Ho W 000 50.BeCd
You can check your answers for this puzzle at

It will be worth your while taking any reference material you may have used to work this out along with you!

Stage 1

Once at the location given by the puzzle, go through the gate and onto the common where you will find a notice board telling you all about the habitat and the various animal and plant species that can be found there.

In the bottom right corner of this notice board is a phone number 01730 8179??.

Multiply these last two digits together to give you the value of B.

Stage 2

Go to

N 51 03 . (B x  7) - 3
W  0 50 . (B x 13) + 5

Make a note of the manufacturers phone number 01C9D 8F16GH

and then onto

N 51 03 . HCF
W  0 50 . GD(F - 1)

it is not very far away.

The last piece of information you require can be found at

N 51 03 . V (Y - Z)(W - Y)
W  0 49 . D Y (X - 1)
