Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT at the above coordinates.

Some say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Well, this cache is unashamedly 'inspired' by GC1KTDJ, so BuzzTasman should be feeling suitably flattered :)

In some cultures X is considered a very lucky number. In that case then this must be one of the luckier spots in the area.

Proceed to: S 41 1X.XXX E 173 13.1XX

Once you have worked out the above coordinates you can go there as it is on the way to the final location.

Take the 'lucky' coordinates above and project:

Distance 172.333m

Direction 301.75 degrees (true i.e. not magnetic)

Cache is now an eclipse tin with some camo with log only. Please bring your own writing device.

Update 21/11/10 - this cache was never meant to be too much of a challenge. It seems to have proved quite frustrating over time and recently seems to have gone missing completely. I've placed a replacement container in quite a different spot that should be a bit easier to locate. In the new location you are very close to some houses and can be seen from a number of directions so stealth and discretion are advised.
