This is a good puzzle for the younger members of the family as it involves some maths and the use of the alphabet. You could take a calculator in case you get brain ache… Work out the code below before you set off. Available in daylight hours only.
- .... . / -.-. --- --- .-. -.. .. -. .- - . ... / .- -... --- ...- . / .- .-. . / ..-. .- .-.. ... . .-.-.- / - --- / --. . - / - --- / - .... . / ... - .- .-. - / --- ..-. / - .... .. ... / .--. ..- --.. --.. .-.. . / --. --- / - --- / ... --- ..- - .... / ..-. --- ..- .-. / --- -. . / -.. . --. .-. . . ... / --- -. . / -. .. -. . / .--. --- .. -. - / - .-- --- / --.. . .-. --- / - .... .-. . . .-.-.- / . .- ... - / --- -. . / ... . ...- . -. / - .... .-. . . / -.. . --. .-. . . ... / --- -. . / ..-. --- ..- .-. / .--. --- .. -. - / -. .. -. . / -. .. -. . / --- -. . .-.-.-
When you arrive at the true start of this puzzle, write down the full name of the presenter of the two items you find there. You may find it easier to write it quite large and in capital letters, so that you can write the corresponding numbers underneath.
From your answer, work out the final resting place of the cache using the first letter of the presenter as number 1, the second letter as 2 etc up to the last letter of the presenter’s name.
The cache is at
SOUTH ( I+L+U+B ) Degrees ( C + H + S ) . ( R ) (H ) (N )
EAST ( R ) ( H ) ( 1st A ) Degrees ( S + U ) . ( 2nd A ) ( 2nd T ) ( N )
If you still require a check sum for the cache location, each separate number of the final coordinates added together should equal 68.
Walk to the cache from this point. There's a new TB for the FTF. Happy hunting.
