Geocache Description:

Location,
Location, Location


 

A puzzle cache based on the Ordnance Survey Grid References of the locations of three sets of photos and a bit of arithmetic.

 

First, find the location where I took the following two photos -

Locate on an OS map and work out the six figure grid reference.

(SX) ABCDEF (Digit sum=26)

 

Second, just one photo in this set -

Again, locate on an OS map and work out the six figure grid reference.

(SX) GHIJKL (Digit sum=41)

 

Final set of two photos -

(SX) MNOPQR (Digit sum=40)

 

Now for the arithmetic -

 

          ABCDEF +

          GHIJKL +

          MNOPQR +

      5573916221 +

=(SX) xxxxxxxxxx

 

Which gives you a ten figure OS Grid reference, enter this into your GPSr, having changed the settings to British Grid and OSGB map datum, and go find the cache.

If you don't want to change your GPSr settings, send me the resulting grid reference and I'll send you the WGS84 Lat/Long coordinates.
