Geocache Description:


The published coordinates are bogus, but will bring you to one of many Lions' Gates in the country.
You'll need to solve the Lions' Gate puzzle below to work out the cache coordinates.

You may start from either ends of the gate, made up of 9 sections.
The number of dashes in each section represent the number of letters in the word to the clues given.
Every word is an anagram of its neighbours, plus or minus a letter.
Use these added/ removed letters (key letters) to work out the coordinates of the cache location.

Lions Gate

Once you've worked out the key letters, arrange them in alphabetical order and let the values be ABCXYZ respectively.
GZ coordinates are: N01 19.(B)(X/2)(C/2) E103 51.(A+1)(Y/3)(Z-12)

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

Camouflaged cache contains a logbook, a pen, an awesome guardian (swag) and a keychain for the FTF.
Have fun!
