Geocache Description:


This is a puzzle, so the cache is not at the published coordinates.

For the cache location you need to solve the following Slitherlink. This is the fourth of this type, with the successful solving of the easier Slitherlinks 1, 2 & 3 resulting in a hint for "Slither". 

In a Slitherlink Puzzle, you connect adjacent dots to form a meandering path that forms a single loop, without crossing itself, or branching. The numbers indicate how many lines surround each cell. Empty cells may be surrounded by any number of lines. There is one unique solution, and you should be able to find it without guessing. You may find it helpful to make small x's between dots that cannot be connected.
SL3 has a slight variation from the earlier puzzles. This will mean you have to rethink the patterns, but I think you will find the hex puzzle a bit easier than the square.
In the puzzle below there are 7 letters added, A-G. Each of these letters is equal to the number of lines surrounding it (from 0 to 5).


The final location is;
S41 16.UVW
E173 14.XYZ

where,
U=B+F
V=E+A
W=C+D+F
X=G-D
Y=B+E+A
Z=E+F

There is no space for trackables and you will need to bring your own pen.

Remember to check your solution for a hint on finding this cache and record the hint for "Slither"
