Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LOCATION SHOWN.

This is a multi-part cache. You're looking for a custom-built steel enclosure secured with a combination lock.

Stage One (Cache Location):
North: (1011,0111) (1100,0111) Degrees (1000,1011) (0110,1111) Point (0111,1110) 00 Minutes.

West: (0001,0100) Degrees (1001,1101) Point (0110,1011) (0100,0001) (0001,1011) Minutes.




NEW UPDATE 8 June 2016: Cache container has now been moved due to deforestation, and the co-ordinates have changed. If you have already solved the puzzle, it has not changed, but you will need to look at it again to get the new location details. Message me if you have the old location and since lost your completed puzzle!
Update 1: It seems the puzzle is a little too difficult for the less-than-superhuman-cacher, so I've added all of the 6's in to help you all a bit.
Update 2: All of the 8's are now in too. This is the last clue so there's no point in waiting for more


You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.


Stage Two (Lock Combination):

The code can be found inside the lids of the following caches:
GC2K6M1 "Pole Position"
GC39CNX "Shock Box"
GC2NWQJ "Up The Junction"



A huge thankyou to Wayne at Adams Enclosures in Brownhills for the custom enclosure and to "The Mighty Shark" for helping with all this html stuff.

It would be nice if we could keep this cache as a Trackable vault. I've started it off with 6.

If you have previously been to find any of the 3 caches containing the lock combination, please note the following:
The co-ords for "Up The Junction" were changed on April 14th as it was moved to another part of the ****.
"Pole Position" was stolen at the end of March and so has found a new location on April 21st approx. 2Km (1.2 miles) from the original site.

If you like this cache, why not give it a favorites point!
