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.
