Geocache Description:

This short mystery cache features some of the beach huts on a short stretch of Hove Promenade between the published co-ords (at the beach cafe/bar), and the end of the promenade by the King Alfred Leisure Centre (waypoint marked). It's no more than 450m but the clues aren't in order so you may have to back-track a bit. The final cache is also only a very short distance away. The promenade itself is wheelchair friendly but the final few feet to GZ may not be.


It makes very little difference which end you start at. If you can't find any of the clues please log a DNF or send me a message - it may not be your fault! Paint-jobs change, signs change, beach huts get blown away by the wind ... and the sooner I know about any changes the sooner I can fiddle with the clues. Thank you.

The cache is at N 50 D(C+F).(M+K)(B-A)(H+G) W000 (G-F)H.(I-L)(J-A+K)(E-K)

You are looking for a small magnetic tube. This is a very muggly area at times, so please use stealth. However, the location itself is a spot where it's not unreasonable to stand around for a while, so it should be fairly straightforward to remove and replace the cache without feeling too self-conscious. Please replace it carefully so that it's not too visible.

1. (no picture clue for this one) There are 2 beach huts which use shells in the formation of the hut number. AB = the sum of all the individual digits of these hut numbers

2. There's another word above this one on this sign. What's the normal English translation of that top word? C = the number of letters in the English word

3. What colour is the beach hut to the left of this one? D = the number of letters in the colour

Also relating to the picture above ... what colour is the beach hut to the right of this one? E = the number of letters in the colour

4. What's the number on the lamppost to the right of this hut? FG = the number

5. What's the number of this beach hut? HIJ = the beach hut number

6. What's the number of this beach hut? KLM = the beach hut number
