Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the published co/ordinates!

This is the finale of a series of caches in the Grange Woods. The cache is located at N52' ??.??? W001' ??.???
Be warned - you might meet some rather strange characters along the way.

To find this cache you will need to visit Carroll's Caching Caper caches #1 to #5 and collect the information contained within.

Each cache of the series contains two letters and their corresponding number values. Once you have collected all ten letters and their corresponding numbers, you will first need to rearrange the letters into a word/words. This then gives you the order in which to arrange the numbers, revealing the completed co-ordinates.

For example: the letters

G=5, E=3, O= 7, C=1, A=5, C=1, H=0, I=8, N=3, G=5

can be arranged into the word GEOCACHING. This would give you the number combination 5371510835 . The first five of these numbers complete the Northerly co/ordinates, the second five complete the Westerly co/ordinates.

53715 therefore N52' 53.715
10835 therefore W001' 10.835


Good Luck!

The area around the series can be muddy after wet weather, so boots are advisable!
