How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the given co-ordinates. To retrieve the cache you will have to find the answers to the following questions. They will lead you to a little person who will then give you the real co-ordinates for the cache. The little helper has now been moved to a location a few metres from the original. This is unfortunate as he can't be with his mates now, but hopefully it will stop him from disappearing again.

The little person can be found at
S41 BD.ABC
E14F B4.ED7

A = A female gnome wears a what coloured cap before she is married? The number of letters in this colour equals A

B = Is the number of gnome friends [poetic licence] Snow White had left after 6 ran off with Little Red Riding Hood

C = In 18C5 Franz Hartmann wrote a tale called Unter den Gnomen im Untersberg. In this story the gnomes were subterranean creatures that guarded treasures og gold within the Untersberg mountain

D = Is the number in the hundreds column in the number of Hitler gnomes that Ottmar Hoerl has in his travelling exhibition

E = Gnomes can run at 3E miles an hour

F = Finns have another name for gnomes. F is the number of letters in this word.

The terrain rating is for the final little uphill climb to the actual cache. The rest is very flat and easy.

The spot where you will find a little friend to help you on your way is one I drive past each day and it always brings a smile to my face. It's little friends were not put there by the people that made this structure. They have just appeared over time!!
