As this is my first hide, I thought a would give myself a challenge by hiding a Mystery Cache in the Geelong area. I have set the rating of Difficulty at 3 due to the popularity to this location with Muggles, both day and night. However GZ is not so bad at night.
Once at GZ you are looking for a micro with log only. It was a film container but that was removed by the road/footpath contractors.
To find the 1st WPT to my first Cache Hide you will need to print out and complete
the below Puzzle.
The puzzle is a Wordfind that is all things to do with GPS and Caching.
Once you have filled out the Word Puzzle, you will be left with 18 Letters. the remaining
18 letters will give you the name of the location of WPT1. You need to go to that area.
Once there you will find a glass wall. There are four words printed in blue.
We are going to use the last two words (14 letters).
Transfer the Letters into Numbers.
Convert the letters into numbers. a=1 b=2 c=3….etc
To work out the Southerlies for WPT2.
A= 3rd letter PLUS the 5th letter.
B= 2nd letter MINUS the 10th letter.
C= 1st letter.
D=7th letter PLUS the 6th letter.
E= 12th letter MINUS the 5th letter.
F= 14th letter MINUS the (6th letter x 2).
The Easterlies
G= 7th letter PLUS 8th letter (MULTIPLIED BY 12).
H= 11th letter PLUS the 7th letter.
I= 10th letter MINUS 6th letter.
J= 13th letter MINUS 11th letter MINUS the 9th.
K= 4th letter.
There for South=A°BC.DEF
There for East= G°H.IJK
This will take you to WPT2
Take a seat and think about Charles's Moto on Life. (it is written here.)
To find WP3
Using the Year on the Second line you need to work out the following..
L= ADD the 3rd number to the 4th number
M= 1st number PLUS the 3rd number
N= 2nd number MINUS the 3rd number
Now substitute the last three numbers on WP2 South Coords.
South= A°BC.LMN
Now for the Easterlies.
What is the date on the Fourth line..
O= 2nd number DIVIDED by the 4th number
P= 3rd number MINUS the 1st number
Q= 1st number PLUS 4th number
Now substitute the last three numbers on WP2 East Co-rds.
East=G°H.OPQ
South-A°BC.LMN
East-G°H.OPQ

To find GZ.
