Geocache Description:

A cache for Christmas. The cache location is not at the published co-ordinates.

Once solved, you will be taken to a house in Westville that puts on an incredible Christmas Light display every year.


This cache will be available throughout the year but to keep in the spirit of Christmas and appreciate this amazing scene, it should ideally be done during the month of December and after dark. The lights are normally on until about 23:00 and the area is safe as there are normally plenty of muggles around doing the same.

Solve the puzzle and find the cache. You will know if you are in the right vicinity by the lights. If you wish, try and take some amazing photos and download with your log for others to see.

SANTA'S SACK:
Ole Santa's sack held thirty toys
Made by his elfin crew;
And though none made the same amount,
Each elf made more then two.
The elf named Cher made one more toy
Then the elf who dressed in reds.
But Cher made one less Christmas toy
Then the elf who made the sleds.
Spry Johnny elf made racing cars;
Five toys were made by Jane.
The elf who dressed in yellow suits
Made each and every train.
The elf who always dress in green
Made a third as much as Sue.
Cute Marcia elf was dressed in orange,
And one elf dressed in blue.
The elf who made the spinning tops
Made the most toys of them all.
The elf who had the biggest grin
Made each and every ball.
Ole Santa's sack held thirty gifts
All tagged for girls and boys.
From the clues that you've been given,
Guess who made which toys.

Final co-ordinates are at:-
S 29d 49.ABC
E 30d 55.DEF

Where:
A = Number of toys made by Sue - 1
B = Number of toys made by Johnny + 2
C = Number of toys made by Marcia + 2
D = Number of toys made by Jane - 4
E = Number of toys made by Cher - 4
F = Number of toys made by Sue - 7
