Each section forms different numbers which are associated with the letters. DO NOT MIX UP SECTIONS OF THE FIND.
This cache is a regular lunchbox container placed within view of Kingston Bridge.

To find the cache you have to go to 4 different locations to get information towards finding the cache.

1. Go to reference point 1 Find an information board with facts about the Kingston Bridge.

When was the cellar first discovered= 1ABC

When was there a first known bridge here= 1DE3

How many years was it the only road crossing apart from London Bridge= F00

You then need to find the telephone number for the Turks launches, it is to the north of ref point 1. It is 020 8546 GHJ4

Once you have got these you can form the next reference point where you need to go.

N51 24.(D+F) (A+3-G) (H+J-1)
W000 18.(B+6) (C+1) (E-7)



On the way to ref point 2 you should walk along the right side of the bridge using the stairs near ref point 1. As you walk across the bridge you need to count the number of petals in ONE of the flowers on one of the lamposts. This = AB. Also as you cross the bridge you need to count the number of full semicircles on the lamposts. This = C. It is less than 6.

When you get to ref point 2 you need to find a grey electric box. it has the letter R followed by four numbers. What are they. They are R DEFG. You then need to work out ref point 3 from this section of the cache. Use the following formula:

N51 24.(G-A) (C) (D-1)
W000 18.(F+5) (E+5) (B+2)



As you walk to Ref point 3 you will go down a small road where the old Kingston Bridge used to be. It used to be only a foot bridge.

When you get to ref point 3 you need to answer these questions.

How many sos rings are there on the western side of the object your standing on. This = A

How many posts are there holding up the whole of the jetty roof for the turks building. This = B

How many towers are holding up the railway bridge in the water. This = C

How many arches does Kingston Bridge have. This = D

How many layers of construction does Kingston Bridge have (its on the inside of the arches). This = E




Once you have found these answers out you need to work out the coords for ref point 4.

N51 24.(A*C) (E) (D+1)
W000 18.(B-1) (A-3) (C)



Once you are at ref point 4 you need to have a look at the sign with the map. When you have found this sign you need to look at the side of it. on the side is a number. it is 01ABC D 771.
The D letter clue is 3 numbers long.



Once you have got these clues you need to work out the final coords for the cache.

N51 24. (A) (C) (B squared)
W000 18. (D - 108)

GOOD LUCK
