There are alot of coffee shops serving great coffee and food. This cache will take you through some streets in Belmont. To find this cache you will need to do the following:

NB: At each waypoint the Lettering used in the previous waypoint should be forgotten. Each waypoint has its own lettering.

WP1/ At this WP you will see a sign where you will need to use the Alphabet/number system EG/ A=1, B=2, C=3 work out the coords to WP2


Using the number that represents the 3rd letter of the 1st word Let3 = AB

Using the number that represents the 5th letter of the 1st word Let5 = CD


(AB X CD) + 68 = EFG
S38 10.EFG

Then

Using the number that represents the 1st letter of the 2nd word Let1 = HI

Using the number that represents the 3rd letter of the 2nd word Let3 = JK


(HI x JK) x 2 = LMN
LMN - 21 = OPQ
E144 20.OPQ

S38 10.EFG
E144 20.OPQ

WP2/ At WP2 you will find a stone that has been set. You will need to work out the following to move onto WP3

Q1/ What day of the month was the stone set?

Day = AB

Q2/ What year was the stone set

Year = CDEF

(AB x CD) – EE = GHI

S38 10.GHI

(AB x CD) + (AB + 10) = JKL

E144 20.JKL

S38 10.GHI
E144 20.JKL

WP3/ At WP3 You will find a stone that was laid. You will need to work out the following to move onto WP4.

Q1/ What Month of the year in numerals was this stone laid?

Month = A

Q2/ What Year was the Stone Laid

Year = BCDE

(BD x BC) + 76 = FGH

S38 10.FGH

(BD x BC) + (BD x BC) + 43 = IJK

E144 20.IJK

S38 10.FGH
E144 20.IJK

WP4/ At WP4 you will find a building that will solve your hunger. This building has a date on it and also tells you what it was in the past. To get to the Final WP you will need to work out the following and also to make sure you have been to every waypoint, you will need to know information from every WP.

Now to find the cache you will need to USE the following


Q1/ What date was this building opened?

Date = ABCD


Q2/ The year mentioned in WP3 Question 2

Year = EFGH

Q3/ The year mentioned in WP2 Question 2

Year = IJKL

Q4/ The month of the year in numerals mentioned in WP3 Question 1.

M = 9

Now to find this cache work out the following

ABC + EFG + IJK = NOP

(NOP – ACA) + C = QRS

S38 10.QRS

Then

BGK – AFM = TUV

TUV – (GH – C)= WXY

E144 20.WXY

S38 10,QRS
E144 20.WXY

The cache is in an area open to muggles so please use stealth when looking for the cache.
