Mr Truffles: I was out in the area checking on my Hair Flick cache which is lost in action. Decided to collect this one as it has been out for several years and rarely gets visited these days. Thanks to all who have visited. Cache box removed.

Geocache Description:

A relatively simple puzzle cache that is within 1 mile of the posted coordinates which are for Hood Hill near Harley.

I have recently cleared out the loft at home and found my substantial collection of music from days gone by and decided to pick a few out number 1's at random to play. It inspired me to set a couple of music based caches and this is one of them.

I started with Two Tribes by FGTH (1984), then In the Summertime by Mungo Jerry (1970) and finally before a cup of coffee I listened to Dancing Queen by Abba (1976).

After coffee I listened to From me to you by the Beatles (1963), then You to me are everything by Real Thing (1976) and finally I’m a believer by the Monkees (1967).

Anyway back to the task in hand - it’s simple really – solve the puzzle and then go and grab the cache. I'll give you a start N 28 and W 27 - I am too generous.

PLEASE DO NOT GIVE SPOILERS AWAY IN LOGS OR PHOTO'S.

The cache is a small Tupperware style container, covered in cammo tape and contains a log book, pen, pencil, sharpener, cache box card and a few swaps.

You may need to use the spoiler clue as the GPS signal was erratic.
