IEEE 802.11 Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Eclectic Penguin: I am currently archiving this as the device which generates the "clue" is needed elsewhere and has been decommissioned. If it becomes available again I may re-deploy this cache either here or somewhere else.

I see there's a trackable listed in the cache itself - that should be recovered tomorrow when I retrieve the cache.

Geocache Description:

Please don't attempt this one - the clue is no longer in place so it is impossible to complete without prior knowledge of the final destination. See description below.
The published coordinates are for a generic location in a residential area. The coordinates are NOT the cache itself and also, there are NO visual or tactile clues in the area so don’t go snooping around with a magnifying glass or binoculars. The net curtains/blinds may twitch...

This is a standard offset cache with a difference. Don't expect to turn up at the coordinates and find the cache's coordinates hidden in a conventional manner.

No micro cache. No laminate hidden on a nearby post. Not even a sign to copy down and match letters and numbers.

However, if you come suitably equipped, the final coordinates will be very clear to read at the published location and you probably won't even need to leave the car...

You may need to be a bit of a techie to understand the only real clue given for how to read this cache's location and ultimately to read the coordinates...

Also, you need to be aware that the actual cache itself is well within a mile's radius from this offset coordinate and that if you decide to walk to it and rely on Ordnance Survey maps, some of the obvious public footpaths that lead directly to the cache from the offset location sadly don't actually exist on the ground any more, despite being listed as public rights of way both on OS maps and on the council's Definitive Map...
