Lake View is a
microcache situated on the Jurassic Way near Fineshade
Woods.
The
co-ordinates listed above aren’t for the cache, they are for
a possible parking space on the verge of the A43 next to the
entrance to the Jurassic Way footpath. It is probably more
sensible, though a longer walk, to park at Top Lodge car park
within Fineshade Woods and get on to the Jurassic Way from this
end. The car park is pay and display, and allows access to
woods, walks and a cafe.
This
walk has spectacular views and if accessed from the A43 goes past
Fineshade Abbey which is on the site of St. Mary’s Augustine
Priory. There are views from the cache of private lake
belonging to an impressive looking house.
To
obtain the co-ordinates of the cache, you need so solve a little
anagram. An anagram is word problem where the letters a jumbled up
in a random order. To make it a little harder we are missing out
one letter (*),you have to find out what the letter is, and then
rearrange all the letters to make a word. Finally, assign a number
value according to the position of the letter in the
word.
For
example if the anagram “odro” is rearranged to
“door”, then:
D =
1
1st O =
2
2nd O =
3
R =
4
A bit
harder, if “ *rodw” is rearranged to
“sword”, then:
S =
1
W =
2
O =
3
R =
4
D =
5
Now it is your
turn. The anagram is: E, A, H, C, O, *, E, C.
Convert the word into numbers and then substitute into the
co-ordinates below:
N52o
34 . (1st E)(2nd C –
6)(H) W000o
3(A – 2) . (H)(2nd C)(1st
E)
Now
you have solved the puzzle you can set off for the
cache.
Good
luck!
This
cache is a micro because it is hidden in a nice place, in a micro
size hole. Do not log anything negative about the fact that it is
only a micro and not anything bigger. I have decided not to give
any clues for this cache, however, if you need a hand then drop me
an email.
