Geocache Description:

The first in a series of caches in and around Loughborough that will use multiple encryption methods, the first uses the Vigenère encryption method which uses this grid, to decrypt the message you will need the key word GEOCACHE.

once again the keyword needed is: GEOCACHE

the coordiantes given are not the coordinates of the cache but somewhere nearby that you can park your car for a very short walk to the actual coordinates which are also put through an encryption process using the same type of grid (below)
