Geocache Description:

A micro park and grab cache hidden near Richmond, Nelson. The cache is not hidden at the published co-ordinates.

Do you sometimes feel like you are living in bubble and everyone is watching your every move??? Enter the bubbles at the following six locations and answer the questions to work out where we have hidden this cache.


 

A - N36 06.064 W115 10.394

Look up slightly and you will see a replica of a very famous statue. Across the road is another replica this one a castle. Count the number of bright blue turrets. (Hint: There are the same number of red ones of the same size)

 

B - S33 51.045 E151 12.752

After you have finished checking out the view of the bridge and the city skyline at night find the sign "Caution - __________ Cable". How many letters in the missing word?

 

C - N29 58.340 E31 07.240

What's everyone taking photos of here? Count the number of main attractions. We are only interested in the big ones not the little ones to the right.

 

D - S22 59.251 W43 12.043

Count the number of beach umbrellas? No just joking. Look down, no not there!!, right down at your feet. You should see a green sign that a person is holding, it has five words on it followed by a date. How many letters in the fourth word?

 

E - N48 51.695 E02 20.000

Face away from the worlds most famous museum and count the columns visible on the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel.

 

F - S42 31.282 E172 49.777

Perhaps not quite as spectacular as the rest but it was the first bubble I ever discovered. Stumbled on this odd round thing in Google Earth recently while planning a family holiday and thought how cool. It just had to become part of a cache puzzle. For letter F count the number of letters in the second word of the store name across the road. e.g. FOUR ______.

 

Now that your world bubble tour is over go find the cache that we have hidden at

S41 20.ABC E173 1D.EEF


Check sum for A+B+C+D+E+F = 26
