The Swindon Triangle - The Lost Cache Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

RoobyDoo: So, I visited the centre of the Swindon Triangle this afternoon. The lost cache has been lost for good, as nature has claimed another cache!
I think this is now the time to rest this cache. Thanks to all visitors who managed to track down the cache in the Triangle.
The three caches that combined to help find this one will remain in their own right.
Thanks again, RD

Geocache Description:


~ The Evening News ~

 

Another cache goes missing in the Swindon Triangle!

 

It has been reported that yet another cache has gone missing in the now infamous Swindon Triangle. This increasingly disturbing phenomenon appears to occur at any time. It is said that Muggles are to blame, but who really knows? Remember the Crop Circles?

The latest cache to fall victim, does though have a slim chance of being found. It is reported that three unknown cachers, whilst on the outer reaches of the Triangle, managed to record partial co-ordinate details of the last known position of ‘the lost cache’.  Put together, it may provide enough information to enable a full scale search.

 If you would like to participate in the rescue of ‘the lost cache’ go to the three locations, Blunsdon Hill (GC2GNBN), Fox Hill (GC1V77D) and Snow Hill (GC1V77F) and gather the co-ordinates, believed to lead you to the cache. Each location is eight miles apart, so unless you want a long walk, it is probably best to use wheels of some kind.

Beware though remember you will be entering the Swindon Triangle!

Since the cache has gone missing in the triangle, the original co-ordinates provided by the three hills needs a further calculation to determine it's latest position.

Once you have the co-ords, enter them in the table below. Apply the calculation to each number to provide the final cache location.
