A multi puzzle cache where you need to solve a puzzle at each stage to get the co-ordinates for the final.
There are 7 stages and a final, over a distance of approximately 3 miles.
This cache is on footpaths over working farmland and along country lanes. There a various fields which will at times be ploughed and others that are occupied by farm animals (cattle and sheep).
At times the footpaths will not be marked on the actual field (such as directly after being ploughed), but as long as you follow the footpath in a straight line from the footpath signs by the road then you will be fine.
You will also need the following equipment to solve the puzzles. You will not be able to complete this multi cache without these items.
Ultra Violet Light (black light)
2 x AA batteries
Magnifying Glass
Water container (only small)
Calculator
Hat and Sunglasses
The co-ordinates provided are for the first cache. Park here, the cache is a circular walk, some on country lanes and some over fields, but you will not be able to drive to the caches. The route is not suitable for buggies or bikes. As always in the country, shut gates that are already shut and keep dogs on leads if any livestock are around.
To find the caches follow the lanes until you find the footpath signs. All the caches are on footpaths or on the side of the road.
I would suggest boots as it may be muddy at times.
Each of the stages should be fairly easy to find if you have solved the puzzles / tasks to get the co-ordinates and at no time should you be in ditches, nettles or brambles, if you are then you are you are lost!!
Puzzle 1:
Use the published co-ordinates to solve the first puzzle and get the co-ords for stage 2 at:
N 52 . 11 . ***
E 001 . 25 . ***
After you have solved this puzzle, continue up the road past the church until you see the footpath on your left, this is quite a distance, your GPS may direct you in a different direction, but take this route as it is quicker in the long run.
Puzzle 2:
Solve the puzzle to retrieve the co-ords for the 3rd stage at:
N ** . ** . ***
E *** . ** . ***
Puzzle 3:
Solve the puzzle to retrieve the co-ords for the 4th stage at:
N 52 . 11 . ***
E 001 . 26 . 345
Puzzle 4:
Solve the puzzle to retrieve the co-ords for the 5th stage at:
N ** . ** . ***
E *** . ** . ***
Puzzle 5:
Use the answer to find the 6th stage at:
N 52 . 12 . 088
E 001 . 26 . ***
Puzzle 6:
Solve the mathematical equations in the micro to find the co-ords for the 7th stage
Solve the first part for ABC
Solve the second part for DEF
N 52 . 12 . abc
E 001 . 25 . def
Puzzle 7:
Use the answer to find the final at:
