Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the published co-ords, Which are of no relevance.


One of a series of caches placed for the WWFM event in Peterborough in June 2014. All such caches can be done as standalone caches, so you can do all in the series in one go, or one or two at a sitting as your time permits. You'd be advised to bring a pen, and also read the cache page thoroughly before setting out.

About this cache:

We were trying to think of a Tom Jones-themed puzzle, but then this idea popped into Mr Beach_hut's head. It's quite apt in a way. Elvis and Tom Jones were actually good friends (as you'll see from the picture below) and you might argue they're cut from similar show-biz cloth.

The puzzle is designed to be straightforward enough to be solved in the field, although likely to confuse some. Those of you who've done our other picture based puzzles will know what they're looking for. If you haven't, as the catchphrase in Catch Phrase goes, "say what you see!"

In order to find the cache, you'll need to solve the puzzle below. Now go, cat, go and find the cache!

The cache is located at:

N 52° A(A+C).(A+B+B)(A+B)(A*A) W 000° C(A+C).AA(A-B-C)

Other Stuff:

The cache is in a safe location to retrieve and replace, but in view of the busy road, we'd recommend not to bring children here, or at least keep them at a safe distance from the road.

Stealth will be required at busy times. Please replace the cache as found, and refer to the hint if you're not sure. You are looking for a small camo vial.

A NOTE ABOUT MUGGLES
Please make an educated decision about the level of muggle activity when you arrive at GZ, and if you find it's just too muggly, we'd suggest you return another time - we'd rather you protected the cache. Thank you.
