A Real Monkey Puzzle Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Secret Spies: Not quite the final cache of the evening, but the final of the run. As I'm heading for NI, I won't be able to maintain this cache so I'm archiving it. Thanks to everyone who found it!

Happy Hunting

Geocache Description:


"Araucaria araucana (Pehuén or Monkey-puzzle) is the hardiest species in the conifer genus Araucaria. It is native to central Chile and west central Argentina, and is an evergreen tree growing to 40 m tall and 2 m trunk diameter. Because of species' great age it is sometimes described as a living fossil. Araucaria araucana is the national tree of Chile."


While you'll find a wonderful specimen of the humble Monkey Puzzle close to the cache location, the cache it itself... is also a Monkey Puzzle! To locate the cache, you need to locate three Monkeys who enjoy travelling around Milton Keynes (TB1R3CK, TB1R3C3, TB1R3E4). When you have all three of their tracking numbers, simply solve the following puzzle:


Final Location:

N51° P1P2.M2(T2-T1-M 2)M2 W00° T1M2.M1P1(P1+M 2)

Now, down to the hunt. You are looking for a 35mm film canister. The location itself is wheelchair accessible although I've not marked it as Terrain 1 as I believe it may be a little difficult to retrieve the cache. Note that that cache is close to road so parents and guardians, please make sure to keep close tabs of children and cache hounds. Also note that the cache retrieval will require stealth!


And there you go! Good Luck and Happy Hunting!
