Geocache Description:


You are about to embark on a Night Cache, I recommend you bring a torch and ensure it has fresh batteries. At the start coordinates you will find yourself at a great parking spot on a quiet rural road which is known for its UFO activity. Make your way towards the start waypoint, you might even spot some UFO activity on your way here. Once there keep a look out, left, right, up high, down low and everywhere in between. The UFO's are out there and your job is to find them.. Their colours vary, and the jockeys (aliens) are also each unique. Each WP is visible form along this road (see map, or start/end WP's). The UFO's are mostly up high in trees, although this is not proven, nor conclusive. They are very different to those at #3 Docking Pad which also makes use of this area. Each WP has a number associated with it to ensure you've found it in order and not missed one. At each WP take note of the WP number and the 2 colours. As you find each one enter the numbers into the formula below to discover the location of GZ.

"GC2V1AD" and orange information for this cache

Entering Paddocks, Opening Gates etc. is forbidden unless you are an Alien and hold a current UFO Id Card.. Permits are required and Aliens and Horses alike get easily spooked by muggles (this is the term they use for us). Please avoid pointing your torch into the paddocks or at the horses.

At each waypoint, you can compare the waypoint colours against the multiple choice options below if you are unsure of the colour.

WP1 options, (Red, Orange) or (Yellow, DarkBlue) or (Green, Yellow)
WP2 (Blue, Yellow) or (Red,Green) or (Yellow, Brown)
WP3 (Orange, Blue) or (Green, Red) or (Brown, Yellow)
WP4 (Blue, Yellow) or (Red, Green) or (Green, Brown)
WP5 (Blue, Red) or (Yellow, Blue) or (Brown, Orange)
WP6 (Red, Brown) or (Green, Yellow) or (Orange, Blue)

Colour to number conversions are 1=Brown, 2=Red, 3=Orange, 4= Yellow, 5=Green, 6=Blue
Eg. If WP7 existed and the colours were a Green alien driving Red convertible UFO. Then the formula would be entered as N = 5, P = 2, however as we know there is No WP0 and convertibles aren't airtight we wouldn't be silly enough to test it.. :)
