Geocache Description:

Cache at an intersection.



This is a series of 19 puzzle caches in the shape of a question mark on the map of Burgess Hill. All hides are within (or on the very edge of) the urban area of Burgess Hill, but I have tried to keep them away from places overlooked by buildings.

The published location is at the intersection of two roads in Burgess hill. Going to the published location will not help you find the cache, neither is it a good place to park or start from. It is less than 1mile from the cache.

To find this cache you need to use the 4 published waypoints A, B, C & D. Each one is also at or near a road intersection. Make a straight line from A to B called AB and a straight line from C to D called CD. The cache is exactly where line AB intersects with line CD.

Like the Encircled cache (GC3FHTE) there may be more than one way to solve this. I used the equation of a straight line to set the waypoints. I assumed that over the small area's we are dealing with the lines of latitude and longitude are perpendicular to each other. In other words, I assumed the world is flat. If that is how you intend to find GZ then assume the same.


On Nov 23rd 2014 the cache was moved a few yards to a better GZ. When you have a green light from the geochecker make the following small changes to the co-ords you used as follows:

Take 0.006 minutes off the Northing
Add 0.002 minutes on to the Westing
