Geocache Description:

Pipsafari and Stormydown were brought together by caching (OK, and by friends). Their wedding on 10th December 2011 was a time to celebrate their love for each other and all things Geocache-related. This short series is my wedding gift to Paul (Pip) and Sammi (Stormy). Here's to many happy years together! THE CO-ORDINATES ABOVE ARE INCORRECT - but the cache is only a short walk away. Clip-lock box, please rehide carefully. This cache meets the Urban Placement Guidelines.


Pipsafari is a postman - his job takes him here, there and everywhere. Inspired by the Motorway Mayhem caches I have tried, I thought I'd bring a bit of travel into this puzzle - albeit a lot further travelling than Pipsafari must do on one of his rounds! Your job is to follow the clues below. In each case you need to
find the nearest motorway junction to the place described. That junction will give you two (or more) numbers needed to crack the final co-ordinates. For example, if the nearest motorway junction to the site described was M6 Junction 4, your numbers would be 6 and 4. Simple! Inside this cache are half the co-ordinates to the final cache in the series. To find this final celebration cache (When Pip Met Stormy: The Happy Couple) you'll need to find the other half of the co-ordinates. You'll find these by solving the sister cache called When Pip Met Stormy: Bride. It all makes sense after a glass of champagne, believe me. The cache is hidden at N 53 AB.0CD W 002 EF.GHI (all the 0's are zeroes!)

Clue 1: Frankley, it would be the next junction heading south! That should give you A and B.

Clue 2: Bo'ness is up, Linlithgow is down, right next door is Borrwstoun. That should give you C and D.

Clue 3: There's no junction for Noah's Ark, but here's Knowsley Safari Park. That'll give you E, F and G.

Clue 4: Back up north, visit The House of the Binns. That gets you H and I.

Now - go find that cache. Remember that inside are the first half of the co-ordinates for the final
cache, When Pip Met Stormy: Happy Couple. You'll need to find the sister cache in order to get the remaining co-ordinates.
