Geocache Description:

A wander around Cockermouth


All of the photos below were taken in November 2015 in, or around, Cockermouth Town Centre. The posted co-ordinates are the large roundabout on the A66 just south of the town. Don't look there. There is nothing there and there is a good chance of getting run over. Find the items in town, find the information and find the cache. Simples? Well perhaps not. Apologies in advance for any frustrations and/or aimless wanderings. This cache is meant to be hard, perhaps requiring more than one visit. But never fear, there are lots of coffee shops, cafes and alcohol dispensers and all within a short walking distance. If you can tell us the item but think the instruction for generating a number is ambiguous then do email as it is not meant to be puzzling. We are not sure quite how hard it is so log notes on the numbers derived would be helpful. Good luck. The cache is hidden at N54 3A.BCD W003 2E.FGH Where appropriate, convert letters to numbers according to a=1, b=2, ..., z=26. where Image A Image A 2nd letter of first line (two words) of the sign below.
