Geocache Description:

The coordinates at the top of the page are not the location of either the cache or any information relating to it. When viewed on OS 1:25K mapping however, they are adjacent to something tenuously relating to the theme and the final cache itself isn’t too far away from here either.

This cache is inspired by the first time I ever recall hearing the word cache used in English language. Cache is obviously a common word in our sport (and in IT to a certain extent), but doesn't seem to be very widely used elsewhere. In 1990, the Pet Shop Boys released a single called Being Boring, the first two lines of which are :

I came across a cache of old photos
And invitations to teenage parties.


To find this cache, you have to solve the puzzle below.

You will be looking for a small container (which will take only small swaps and TBs) which has the usual lottery scratchcard for the FTF.

Good luck!

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