Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the given coordinates but they are for the car park at Shoreham Airport. The final cache location is within 2 miles of this point.

You don't need to go there to solve this puzzle but if you have problems solving it you could always visit and ask one of the many aviators there for some help!!

Having previously worked at Shoreham Airport I thought it would be nice to put a another cache here to complement the other already excellent caches based around this location!

Shoreham Airport has a lovely 1930's Art Deco style terminal building which has several busy flying clubs and a viewing area looking across the whole airfield.

If you think about the name of the puzzle and then consider the following wind directions.

E = ab
SSE = cd
SSW = ef
W = gh
NNW = ij
NNE = kl

The cache can then be found given the following:

N50° (e+g)(b+l).(h+i)(d-c)f

W000° jb.(b-e)(g+i+l)(h-d-j)

Other caches you might want to try whilst in the area are Shoreham Airport, S2S - Newton Bay

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.


Congratulations to patch_the_cat for the FTF!
