Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the above co-ordinates, but can be found within a mile or so of them.

The cache title has a triple significance since it refers to my favourite Border Collies, the cache being very close to the Hampshire / West Sussex Border, and it’s also a fairly obscure clue for the puzzle



The true cache location is given by North 50 AB.CDE West 000 FG.HJK where

A = 144 - 108
B = 120 - 108
C = 140
D = 120
E = 156 - 120
F = 162 - 156
G = 108
H = 150 - 108
J = 108
K = 135 - 120

A correct solution of the puzzle will give a checksum (all 15 digits), of 59

The cache container is a new design which has just appeared on the market.
A black screw-top pot measuring about 150 mm dia x 50 mm high, it makes a perfect alternative to the horrible 35 mm film canister.
As well as a log book and pencil, it has enough room for small swops, small TBs, and Geocoins
