Geocache Description:

A pleasant river walk with a fun cache. But first, you need to solve a little puzzle.

The co-ordinates listed above are not the co-ordinates of the actual cache; they are the co-ordinates for a suitable parking place. There is space for several cars.

Enjoy a pleasant walk down to the Turtle Bridge, and then follow the meandering River Welland along the Jurassic Way. There are lovely views across to Harringworth and the Viaduct. An alternative starting point would be from Harringworth Village.

To obtain the co-ordinates of the cache, you will need to solve this magic square collecting the variables: A, B, C, D, E, F and G. For a magic square, the rows and columns and the diagonals must each add up to 15. You must only use the digits 1 to 9, without any digit being used twice.

G A 8
7 B C
D E F

Substitute the variables into these co-ordinates.
N 52° 3F . (D+A)(E-D)(F/D) W 000° 3(D*F) . (G-6)(B+D)C*D)

Now you can set off find the cache. Good Luck!

The cache has been moved so it is safe if the Welland floods in the winter months!
