Geocache Description:

This is one of a series of some one hundred and forty caches set along The Aylesbury Ring, a circular footpath that follows a thirty mile route round Aylesbury.

Under development since the early 1980s, more details can be found here. A Bucks CC leaflet with further information and points of interest along the route can be downloaded from here.

For the purpose of these caches, The Ring is divided into seven sections (each named after a species of duck), and each section is designed to be done in a clockwise direction; if you choose to do otherwise, you will be causing yourself much unnecessary back-tracking.

Most of the caches are stand-alone, but within each of the seven sections is a bonus cache for which you will have to collect information from the other caches within that section. This information is in the format A=1. The bonus information is not interchangeable between sections.

In addition there is a Golden Egg Bonus cache. To find this, you will also have to collect information from all sections, although not all caches (and none in the bonus caches). This information is in the format 1=LZ. Refer to the Golden Egg Bonus cache page for what to do once you have all this information.

There is a mixture of cache types and sizes, and a variety of different hides. Some are straightforward, others a little more tricky, but not one is a 35mm film canister under a rock at the bottom of a post - although ivy may feature on occasions!

Once you have found the majority of the series and logged them online, you will qualify to go for the AYLESBURY DUCK GOLDEN EGG BONUS, set somewhere within The Ring.

Now, onto this cache:

This is an easy offset multi. At the posted co-ords you need to gather information from a brass plaque, and use this to make sense of the following equation.

The cache is at N51° 46.ABC W0° 52.DEF where:
A = the final digit of Sergeant Martin's service number
B = the number of letters in Sergeant Martin's home country
C = the number of letters in each word in Sergeant Bailey's occupation
D = the number of letters in Sergeant Bailey's first name
E = the final digit of Sergeant Bailey's service number
F = the number of the month in which the plane crashed

Update 28 August 2017 – please note that as of today the cache has been moved a short distance due to extensive bramble growth since the cache was set. Please use new values for A - F above.
