Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

This cache has been placed at my local watering hole. You can usually find me there at least three evenings a week (and sometimes on the weekend) enjoying a cold frosty (or six) after a good sweat on the squash court. If you time it right, I can introduce myself (to any new cachers in the area) and treat you to a drink whilst enjoying some geo-talk. Give me a call or drop me an e-mail if you would like to arrange a time to meet.
At certain times there can be a high muggle presence so please use extreme caution when retrieving the cache or return at a quieter time.
To find this cache, you will need to solve this relatively easy pub type quiz. If your answers to the problems below are more then one digit, add the digits together until you reach a one digit number.
Examples:
26 = 2 + 6 = 8
128 = 1 + 2 + 8 = 11 = 1 + 1 = 2
