Decoder Two: The Ring Thing Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

The Bee Keeper: I am afraid that it is time for this one to go. There has been plenty of time for a new owner to be found or maintenance carried out.

Geocache Description:

Second part of a short series of puzzle caches around Islington that require some decoding.

It is also part of the Master of Mystery challenge in Montreal/Canada - Canadian cachers need to solve a number of puzzles around the world in order to complete a cache in Montreal - but this has no effect on local London cachers looking for this cache.


Master of Mystery

The coords above are NOT for the cache, but for a convenient tube and rail station both for caching and as starting point to explore the area. I recommend going there by public transport or bicycle, some parking may be available but as usual in London it tends to be limited and/or expensive.

I'm sure everybody has heard this "music" sometime, and has no problem to "play" it. Now your task is of course to listen to it!

Listen here

NOTE: The file linked above is a standard WAVE Windows audio file, which most computers should have no trouble to play, either within the browser or in your default audio program. The file is hosted on an external server and therefore outside of control and responsibility of Groundspeak. It can do no harm to your computer, but in case somebody is afraid of downloading external data, and in order to comply with geocaching.com guidelines, there's an other option to solve the puzzle below.

It would be interesting to see in your log if you used the audio file or image to get the coords. Note that Terrain rating may be inverse proportional to cacher's length

Alternative puzzle - find the coords in the image below.

Coords to decode

If you're not sure about your solution, you can check it here. You're looking for a 35mm-micro. Stealth required, also mind the window muggles.
Please take care to replace the cache exactly as found.

Wheelchair Users

Location is wheelchair friendly, however the cache retrieval is probably impossible from a wheelchair, so a helper may be needed.
