Geocache Description:

A puzzle for Harry Potter fans -- all the clues relate to the first HP book.

The cache is not at the above coordinates; there is no need to go there as you may be run down by the Hogwarts Express! It is within 3km.

You will find the cache at: S 43 AB.CAB E 172 DB.DAE.

A = Fluffy has this many heads.
B = The last digit of the year in which this book was first published.
C = The number of brothers Ron has.
D = The year Harry is in at Hogwarts.
E = The chapter in which Harry sees Hogwarts for the first time.

The cache is a black painted 400ml Sistema container. When hidden it contained two HP trading cards, a small pack of coloured pencils, Mr Strong, a windscreen scraper, and a logbook with pencil and sharpener.

IMPORTANT: Look for a clue in the box; this will come in handy later on!

This is our first cache, and the first in a series, so stay tuned...
