Geocache Description:


This a puzzle cache based around the Ford Mustang. (Not the horses, or the fighter plane.)


The caches are placed near the village of Marchington Woodlands, and follow part of the Staffordshire Way trail. (See web page link at the top).

The co-ords are for the parking area. Only room for one car. There is a notice here that prohibits vehicles and cycles from entering the lane. It leads to a couple of farms before the trail starts proper. You do go through the yard of a sheep farm, so keep geomutts on leads until you pass the second farm.

The paths are fairly flat, but can be very muddy in places. The trip is about 2.5 miles there and back, so about an hour or so, depends on search time.

There are FOUR caches in the series, but they do not rely on each other for co-ord info. When you’ve got the final co-ords for the puzzle correct, all the other cache co-ords are displayed via the link to geocheck.org at the bottom of the page.

Answers to the questions can be had through t'interweb. I've tried to stay away from ambiguous and really geek questions like “what is the torque setting for the pitman arm on a 1972 Mach 1”

Answer these questions first (discard any non-numeric characters in the answers) :

A= In what year did the current model start being sold? (we are now in 2008.)

B= In 2001 what size is the V8 engine in the standard GT. (Cubic inches)

C= The colour yellow has been used for many years in the Mustang, some quite horrid shades! What was the colour code for the Yellow used in 2001?

D= What was the release date (Year only) for the film "Bullitt", starring Steve McQueen?

E= How many Bullitt Mustangs were built in 2001?

F= What is the official body/chassis style code for 1994-2004 cars?

G= What do aficionado's call the first ever production year? (sum of the numbers)

Check total=9961

Click the link at the bottom to check your co-ords for the final, and reveal all the other cache co-ords.

The co-ords are 52.50.(123) 001.52.(456)

1= (G+last digit of B). Now sum the resulting digits

2= (Last digit of A+first digit of D)

3= 3rd digit of E

4= (G-1) Now sum the resulting digits

5= First digit of F

6= (C+1)


Now check your result on the link below
