Geocache Description:

This is my first attempt at a puzzle cache so i hope it does make to many people scratch their heads.


I have place a series of cipher's each more cunning than the next (or not), the published coordinates will take you to a start location where you will find the first cipher for you to de-cipher, this will give you a new set of coordinate's to another cipher.

All of the ciphers are fairly easy to crack, but you will need to complete them in order to find the final cache. 

There are several other good caches in the area if you should also wish to have a go at them,  

GC46XNF STREAMLINE
GC4FB6W BAILEY'S PATCH #3
GC1KC6P SIDETRACKED - YATE

You will pass quite close to all of these whilst working out the locations of each cipher.

This is popular for dog walkers and some parts of this area can become a little squelchy under foot after a good rain fall, if you have a geo pooch then there is a stream they can play in (or Not) that you will have to cross, it is very shallow, ankle deep or you can use the bridge.

The cache is a small clip lock container with a few swapables and a small Rosette FTF pin And certificate for the first to find to keep.

Due to some of the feed back that i had received i had decided to raise the difficulty level from a 2 to a 3 

The Cipher's

1/ This inspector was portrayed by John Thaw who was a senior C.I.D. officer in the Thames Valley police force(You may want to take this with you).
