Number Cruncher 2 - Judgement Day Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

chiptheduck: It appears that this cache has disappeared again so I am archiving it.

It's a great location even if the hiding place is not secure, so perhaps another geocacher would like to place one close by.

Geocache Description:

OK it's a micro, but it's at a place that's well worth the visit. It is not at the above coordinates which is the point of access to the footpaths leading to the cache. See below for a suggested parking spot.

You may wish to do this at the same time as another of my puzzle caches GC3J1YN which is close by.


This is another numerical puzzle following on from GC2X0D6 but a little more difficult! I think you'll agree that the location is worth the hard work.

Each of the symbols represents a digit from 1 to 9, each appearing once only.

You may find this grid useful in helping you to work out the solution.

You will find the cache at:

The cache site is best approached from Totteridge Village (A5109) although parking is impossible on this road. Totteridge Green is about 200 yards away from your starting point with parking space at N51° 37.786 W000° 11.667.

The published coordinates above will take you to the entrance to The Close where a sign indicates it is a private road bristling with security measures. In fact it gives access within a few yards to a public footpath via a side gate for pedestrians, but you cannot park here so please respect the residents (not least because I am a friend of one of them). The footpath will take you to the cache location which is within a Nature Reserve.

My thanks to London Borough of Barnet for kind permission to place a cache here.
