This cache has been archived.

Calluna Tib: Ernie's wife has now decided that she would prefer that the caches placed by him are archived. The containers will be removed during the Christmas holiday.
She would like to thank people for the many good wishes she has received.

Geocache Description:

Just a little diversion from the boredom of long distance A-road driving. Easy access for East bound traffic (West bound will need to backtrack). This is not a scenic location, but it is an easy cache & dash (once you've cracked the puzzle), you can park next to the cache.
You might be able to solve this little puzzle with an old technology item sometimes kept in the car.

As usual, the above co-ords are within a couple of miles of the cache, don't go there! The cache is at ...
N (A) (B).(C+F)
W (B) (D).(E) where..

A = Kingsbury (Warwickshire) to Chester.
B = London to Canterbury.
C = Basingstoke to near Honiton.
D = Southampton to Reading.
E = Clowne to Rotherham. (Not = 57).
F = Whiteparish (near Salisbury) to Pevensey.

Checksum (all digits added together = 37)

Due to changes beyond my control, as of 24/5/11 I've changed the formula slightly - but the cache is still in the same place.
You are looking for a 150ml plastic container - a little bigger than a 35mm case.
Beware of muggles - the cache is close to a muggle factory (I think they make 'em here)
For a little twist - why not try this one without using your GPSr to find GZ (leave it in the car). Thanks to Andyfee for setting a trend!


Congratulations for FTF to Andyfee - found without a GPSr!
