Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the above location, this is a parking area

A series of caches set around the Spen Valley Greenway in Heckmondwike

When I set off to hide this series I had only a shoulder bag for 20 caches, so this will give you an indication of size, the dreaded Nano's and Micro's, with the odd larger one thrown in for good measure.

Mainly sneaky hides, but shouldn't prove too difficult for the experienced amoungst you, nothing too different here ?

Some caches have a clue ( these are duplicated incase some are missed ) which will lead to a halfway bonus, and bonus cache.

Before each bonus you will find a decryption device and a cypher key, although the devices are the same, the key is different for each, so do not think you can get to the Bonus cache early, all will become clear. The formula's for the co-ordinates for the Half way Bonus are as follows:

If A = 0 and Z = 25, using the symbols for A, B, C, D, E, and F and determining their values using the cypher and cypher key the co-ordinates are :

N53* 41. ( E+F ) ( F ) ( A )

W001* 40. ( A ) ( F ) ( B-D )

Good luck, I hope you dont find them too annoying, and a few make you laugh.
