Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the stated coordinates.

The first of several mini puzzle series. A micro containing only log book and pencil.


We all like a good brain teaser to keep the cogs turning don't we? This is the first of several mini puzzle series for everyone. No puzzling over the puzzle, specialist knowledge or researching answers on the internet.....just a little bit of brain power, some logic and a pencil (and just maybe a rubber) are all that are required to solve them. Throughout the series, you will find a variety of puzzles to suit all tastes.

This first series has just three caches which can be found on a short walk across a cow field (mind the pats), over a road and then a short stroll down a cut through lane. They can be done in any order and can even be completed as semi 'drive-bys'. This series contains only micros.

This is a Sudoku puzzle and all that is required is to fill in the grid so that every column, row and 3 x 3 box contains the numbers 1 to 9.

Some of the boxes have been shaded and include a letter. Once you have found the correct number for that box, the number will equate to the value of that letter in the coordinates.

The micro cache can then be found at

N 53 2 3. 0 A B

W 002 1 C. D E F
