One from the Winos! Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

fionat: Went to replace cache today, but as saplings have been planted all around the tree, decided that a) they might get damaged, and b) they will probably make the cache inaccessible once they grow a bit, so archiving. Johnny5a has taken the contents and will create a Winos Mk II in the near future. Thanks to all who have found and logged.

Geocache Description:

A puzzle cache - this is the winos first go at placing a cache. Hope you enjoy it!

Please note that the published co-ordinates are NOT for the cache. They are for the recommended parking, which is approximately 1 mile from the cache site, or you can stop very close to the cache for a quick cache and dash. There is no pavement on the road, so please take care.

To work out the cache co-ordinates, you need to solve the Sudoku puzzle.

  4 A       5    
  H   2   D   3 4
  9 8 5   4   G  
J           E 7 5
4       B 2     9
5   9   3 6     1
      6   5 1    
2 C 1   9     6  
  6   8   F K 5 2

Then substitute the numbers from the squares with letters to work out the cache location.

The cache is next to the road, and has a beautiful view. You should be able to spot some animals!

The cache is a small camo box with room for small swaps and TBs. It should be easy to find – the difficulty rating is for the puzzle.

The cache location is at:
N 51 AB.CDE
W 001 FG.HJK

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
