Geocache Description:

Hello and welcome to our first puzzle cache (the first of many we hope!)

The listed co-ords will bring you to the public entrance of the woods on the western slope of Bray Head, beside the Southern Cross roundabout. In order to get the final co-ordinates for the cache location, you will need to start by solving the puzzles given below (we have included a worksheet to be completed in order to make it as clear as possible). Then make your way to the co-ordinates and all will be revealed!!!!

Step 1: Solve the dingbats
Step 2: Enter the answers to each dingbat in the grid below, going across from left to right; starting with the first in A1 (The first one has been done for you and some letters have been left in as an aid. The presence of “ / ” signifies the start of a separate word)
Step 3: Using the grid references given in the co-ordinates formula, note the number that corresponds to each letter in the alphabet (see example).
Step 4: Go to the co-ordinates and locate the cache! (But it may not be as straightforward as you think! ;)Please do not post pictures of the cache, or other spoilers. Thank you!

Example: (A2 + A8) = (15 + 5) = 20

To locate the cache, go to: N53 J4.B13(B8 + H1); W006 (D2 - G4) F8.C5(E1 + I1)

You can check your answer at: Geocheck.org .

Congratulations to "kuceri" on FTF!!!

Logging Etiquette: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning to place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or emoticon logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log. Thank you!!
