Geocache Description:

This cache is a disguised 35mm film canister with log book but no pen.



This cache is dedicated to the book by Alexander Masters, "The Genius in my Basement"; a novel about a child maths genius who came top in international Mathematical Olympiads, earned a degree in maths whilst still at school and then went to Cambridge where he studied for his doctorate. He spent most of his life trying to understand what he calls The Monster, the most convoluted atom of symmetry, which is studied using a grid containing 808017424794512875886459904961710757005754368000000000 columns.

This is part of the Novel Cache series which we have tried to make interesting by using "novel" containers which try and fit the theme of the book.

The caches are of varying sizes, some of which are large enough to carry TB's and swaps.

We hope you enjoy finding them as much as we enjoyed placing them.

Suggested parking for one or two cars is available at N 50 52.767 W 001 06.231
