Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the published co-ordinates.

This is a series of 9 caches located along a section of the Trans Pennine Trail near Formby. TPT Music 1 to 8 are puzzles involving music of the 60's and 70's that need to be worked out before you go.

To identify the north co-ordinates you need to work out which three songs I am referring to. Each song has three clues, the first refers to the group/singer, second is the song and thirdly the number within the song. Once complete you will have three numbers - Variable A, B and C. Now carry out the calculation given within the section. This should result in a number between 000 and 999.

To identify the west co-ordinates you need to work out the name of the 3 album covers. Taking the first letter of each album use the chart below to identify its corresponding number. These three numbers should then substitute the published west co-ordinates.
