Geocache Description:

A puzzle based on distances, but you'll need your GPS as well as your tape measure. Ignore the headline co-ordinates - they are for a traffic island with little to recommend it. The cache certainly isn't there.


Classification is a wonderful thing - so many ways to divide the world into lists and measure it. Have a look at this one and identify locations A-F.
