Teamwork Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

griz4b: There has been some fine teamwork in Bathurst, and hopefully more in the future, but for now it is time to archive this cache.
It certainly has suffered some cache creep! I couldn't even find it myself when I came today to effect some repairs ;-) And then just as I spied it, one of the local residents was onto me like white on rice.
Best to give this spot a little rest, as nice as it is!

Geocache Description:


This cache is the first in a series of two (Teamwork and Teamwork Too).

This first cache should be easy to find, but you'll all have to work together to find the second cache, ‘Teamwork Too’:
Everyone who finds this first cache may open a tiny parcel that contains one or more letters and numbers. These letters are part of a simple cipher that will (eventually) reveal the coordinates for Teamwork Too. Please write your letters on the cipher card in the cache (at the position number indicated), and publish your letter(s) and number(s), but not the whole cipher, in your log at 'Teamwork'. For a chance to uncover extra letters, you can also come back and open another parcel for each travel bug that you DROP OFF.

When all the letters have been revealed (or even before...), you'll be able to solve the simple cipher and find ’Teamwork Too’.


UPDATE JULY 2011:


Due to the hard work of the local caching community, the cipher has been solved and ’Teamwork Too’ has been found. To save future cachers from having to gather ALL the letters from past logs, I present the (nearly) complete cipher below in text format. A few select letters have been left out (to make sure this is still a small challenge), but these can be easily revealed from past logs, or by visiting the physical cache for ‘Teamwork’.

UPDATE MARCH 2012:

I've checked, and there are indeed some puzzle pieces remaining. So if you REALLY need those last few letters, they are still waiting for you in 'Teamwork'.


UPDATE JUNE 2012:

I've also recently changed the coordinate checker to a more user-friendly version... Check your answers for this puzzle here:
