TOMCKNN's Matreeoshkache Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

wps go caching: This was a great cache whilst it lasted. But I got in to road cycling rather than MTB so didn't pass it as much and it fell in to disrepair.

Thank you to everyone who enjoyed it.

Geocache Description:

The coordinates are for a view of the village of Newport in Essex. The clue is at the view and the cache not far away.


Before you look for the numbers to find the final cache, look West. East Anglia is pretty flat so distant horizons are fairly rare. In the far distance you should be able to see one of the old windmill towers in Clavering (look for a white triangle, which is the hood on top of the red brick tower).

You will find four numbers, ABCD at the coordinates, preceded by the letter S. You can find the final location as follows:

N 51° 58.(A+1)(B-1)8
E 00° 13.(C+3)(9-D)5

If you have a smart phone at hand, you can check your answers for this on Geochecker.com.

The cache is in a camo bag and contains 1st, 2nd and 3rd to find reward badges, a TB for FTF to send on its happy way to New Zealand and other swaps. It is both big and small.

Notes: wp1's nickname on two trips to Russia was Tomski, which sort-of-ish looks like TOMCKNN in Russian script. If you don't know what a Matryoshka is then you'll work it out when you find the cache.
