Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the coordinates - the coordinates are for Patchway Station which is within 1,000 metres of the cache. 

Solve the N'doku and W'doku puzzles contained in the IMAGES gallery to extract the actual coordinates.

We lived in Patchway for 15+ years before discovering the convenience of Patchway Station  - only 15 mins and £4.50 return to Bristol Temple Meads ( as at 2016 ) - very convenient for  commuting to the city, and just 40 minutes to Cardiff Central. Most days (except Sunday when services are poor) there's an hourly service in both directions.

You may think . . . "not a very exciting area for a cache"... but look at these to see some of the things that go on nearby!

Within 30 mins of sunset in late October / early November and between mid-Feb and mid-March over the last few years, looking North-West from the cache location, this has been an evening spectacle:
Murmuring birds.

And some weekends, April to September you may see something like this:
 Smokey trains.

Also enjoy this clip of what was supposed to be a mission to get aerial surveillance of the cache site and to give you an additional clue...    unfortunately the mission turned into a crash site so what you will see only managed to get within a few hundred metres of the intended location.
Aircraft.


The Puzzles...
We are in the wrong hemisphere for Sudoku and Eudoku,  so this  Nudoku and Wudoku will assist you. Complete these two 'doku puzzles to get the exact coordinates, go find the cache and then wander to the station to check out the train times!

The puzzles are listed as images here:
N'doku.
W'doku.

The cache has had various disguises over the years in an attempt to be less attractive to Muggles (so far 4 have gone missing). We are now trying a 'micro'. Bring your own pen. Log extraction tool may be required.

You can check your answers for the puzzle on the GeoChecker website... GeoChecker.com.
