Firstly, sorry for the horrific pun. This is the Final Cache in the
DEW series, but you're going to have to do some work to figure out
its location!

The cache is a Regular Sized Lock'n'Lock box, filled with the usual
goodies and a disposable camera, take a photo when you find the
cache, I'l develop them when the film is full! Please do not remove
it!

This location is also the road (Camela Lane) where you start the
walk clockwise, there is good on-street parking near here.

THE LISTING CO-ORDINATES ARE NOT THE LOCATION
OF THE CACHE.


Firstly, visit all the caches in the DEW series.

DEW#'s 1-4, 6-8 and 10 all give clues to solve the puzzle
below.

DEW#'s 5 and 9 give you clues that will enable you to figure out
the co-ordinates for the final cache.

DEW#11 gives you a hint as to the location (for at GZ)

Below is a Sudoku puzzle. The basic rule to this puzzle is that the
numbers 1 to 9 appear once each in each row and column, and also in
each smaller 3x3 square. If you have not come accross this before,
read up and try some puzzles first, they are easily found
online.

Beware, the puzzle is UNSOLVABLE in its current form. By visiting
the caches in the DEW series you will gain enough information to
make it solvable.

Solve this for the co-ordinates!


After solving the puzzle, use to clues in DEW 5 and 9 to gain the
co-ordinates for the final cache, as below:

53° ab.cd0'N 001° 0e.fgh'W

The Checksum for the co-ordinates (add them all up) is 34. If there
is a problem with one of the caches in the series, such that you
cannot solve the final puzzle, I'l be happy to email you the
missing clues.
