Geocache Description:

This cache is not at the above co-ordinates

I thought it was about time you had a puzzle to exercise the little grey cells
I'll give it a month and then when no-one has solved it I'll add a hint... and then a month later I'll add another one


ECHO CHARLIE WHISKY ECHO NOVEMBER
YANKEE UNIFORM BRAVO PAPA ALPHA
INDIA HOTEL SIERRA FOXTROT BRAVO
WHISKY HOTEL UNIFORM NOVEMBER WHISKY



When you have the final co-ordinates it is a cache and dash
There is an obvious parking spot 50mtrs East of the final co-ordinates
As always be very careful crossing the road


Hint No.1
The puzzle reads Across then Down just like normal text
The solution is a combination of a couple of simple coding methods - but somewhere along the line is a twist !
I'm not including the initial decoding in the above as it is plainly obvious how to begin !


Hint No.2
Something to stimulate those little grey cells


Hint No.3
X marks the spot


Hint No.4
I really ought to be reducing the difficulty rating on the cache after putting all these clues on, but we'll carry on with this months hint.
