The Ivy Cover Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Weary Banker & Bookworm: As this was reported missing , seems to have fallen out of favour and is a bit out on a limb, perhaps its time for it to go to that big cache in the sky. I like the puzzle and reserve the right to use it elsewhere.

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

A tricky little test for those "little grey cells" or may be its telepathy.


The cache is NOT located at the coordinates above. These represent the suggested parking spot in the vicinity of the cache. Please do not block the gate . You will find the box within a 1km easy level stroll from here, for the most parts along good quality Forestry tracks. The final few yards are into the wood.

To discover the coordinates of the hiding place, you must identify an 11-digit number (ABCDEFGHJKL Checksum = 43 ). Thats all there is to it.

There is nothing hidden in the page source, EXIF files or in white fonts on the page. Dont bother with initial letters or hidden words either, just use a bit of logic or lateral thought and find the number.

When you have the number, use the substitution formula below to work out where we left the box

N50:43: (D+L)(A+C)(E-K) W003: 06: (J-K)(H+B)(E-F)

Because there is tree cover which may affect your GPS, there are three spoiler pictures, each taken from the cache location.
