Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the co-ordinates given. The terrain rating has been increased to 3 as I have had to move the cache slightly.

Running alongside my DD series, this is the first in an ongoing series of mystery caches related to popular board games past or present. In each case an Internet search will be needed to calculate the whereabouts of the cache, once you have solved the problem. The BG caches can be attempted in any order.

Poly’s toe almost leads her out but her top always follows, yet her nose might win a close race. Poly’s singularly elder sister might send you off and running in the right direction, but the going may be tough, in fact, you can bet on it. Ask Walter or Roy as Elton, Marmaduke, and Jerome have all been winners with an overcoat. You know you are on the right track if you find Ascot in France.

It is patently obvious what number you need to find here. If you are toteally handicapped by the above information you are certainly at a disadvantage and unlikely to lead the field when finding this cache. So to spur you on, the number you need to discover has six digits, ABCDEF. Then use the following formula to calculate the whereabouts of the cache. The cache is a 35mm film canister.

North (AB+2). (CD-31) (A, DE-14). East (BB+1) (DE-1) (B, CD+33)
