Geocache Description:

As I've had to archive most of my A to Z caches, it makes this cache impossible to find so I'm giving you all the final co-ords! I'm keeping the D/T ratings the same to keep the previous finder's logs correct, though the D is probably a 1.5 now!
You can find the cache at N54°48.195 W002°57.761


Original description:-

Z is for........well, you must be flipping joking! Where am I gonna find a village in North Cumbria beginning, or ending, for that matter, with the letter Z....heh-heh!
The cache is NOT at the co-ords above, but within a 15 mile radius, and is a short walk, but with a slight pull-up to the cache location! Some nice views from here on a good day as well.


To find this cache, you will have to visit most.......but not all......of the other 25 A to Z caches in the series, depending on how lucky you are!
In 15 of the other caches, there is a number inside.....laminated and glued, to the lid. Make a note of these numbers and they will give the exact co-ords for this cache.
When I say they give the exact co-ords, I mean they are the right numbers.......just not in the right order! It will be trial and error putting them in the right order.......that's why I have included Geochecker to help you.
All the other caches in the series are preforms (see photo) and only have a logbook and pencil.....no trade items.....and are close to, or on the roadside.

Original contents are (see photo)
Logbook and pencil
A Calculator (as a FTF prize......please take it!)
A "hotwheels" toy car
A "slithering sid" toy
A "Teeny Little Families" toy
A bottle of kids hand cleaner
2 X Arabic 1Riyal notes

Cache is at N54° 48.??? W002° 57.???

The "?"s represent the numbers found in the lids of 15 of the 25 A to Z caches.
I have now included nine of the missing numbers.....as it had been pointed out to me that the permutations of 10 digits is gazillions, so I have narrowed it down to six missing digits.....the permutation is only 720, that is if each digit was different.....they might be, they might not.....so it's only these that need sorted out now.....heh-heh!!

Hope you enjoyed your jaunt round the villages and back roads of North Cumbria!
