Geocache Description:

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

The true location is given by the following puzzle. Please assume North 50 and West 000, but you need to work out the rest of the co-ordinates by solving the following.

……………..

One of the cache types that you either love or hate is the puzzle cache.

Some people will go out of their way to solve a puzzle, while others avoid them like the plague!

Easy ones, hard ones, obvious ones, and just plain impossible ones; there is something for everybody.

Like them or not, there are certainly plenty to chose from, with all levels of difficulty to test you.

Some of them use complicated codes and ciphers, while others use word play or pictures as the puzzle that needs to be solved.

Intricate puzzles need to be carefully unraveled, diagrams studied, and source code pored over.

Some evenings I just sit there blankly while looking at the latest puzzle to be published.

Should I try a Caesar cipher or a Vigenere cipher? Should I count the letters in each word? Should I Google the cache title to see what I can find?

how on earth can I solve this infuriating puzzle? My poor old brain is in a spin! I don’t know whether I’m coming or going! I’m all topsy turvy!

So what effect do puzzle caches have on your brain?

End of puzzle

A correct solution will give you a checksum (total of all 15 digits) of 45

The cache container is a plastic screwtop tub measuring about 100 mm dia x 200 mm high.
As well as a log book in an inner container, it has enough room for small swops, small TBs, and Geocoins


No pen or pencil is provided so you will need to bring your own in order to claim a find
