Geocache Description:

Published co-ords are for a roundabout in the Swansea Valley and not for the cache location.


This blast from the past has been put back in its cave and is good to be found once more...

Originally it was another cache from the Preseli Cache Factory, the puzzle was designed to sort out the grown-ups from the kids! Though in hindsight maybe the kids had the benefit of more agile minds?

The cache is a medium sized ammo can with some fab trades inside. Stock when it was last checked included books, DVDs, music CDs and some other random bits and bobs.

Try to be nice and try to trade even or up...

To solve the cache, you need to first of all crack this cipher. As always, have fun!
