Geocache Description:


Oh, yes it is another slitherlink! For all of you who don't like these puzzles, this one is for you, as it is a bit easier. For those of you who do like these puzzles, this one should be a breeze!

I thought this one up myself, rather than taking it from my usual source. You know the rules by now, but if not here they are.

This is a puzzle, so the cache is not at the published coordinates. For the cache location you need to solve the following Slitherlink. In a Slitherlink Puzzle, you connect horizontally or vertically 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 (from 0 to 3). 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.


The final location is;
S41 17.UVW
E173 18.XYZ

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

The published coordinate is a good place to park when you come to make your find. Watch for muggles at GZ. The cache is small, with no space for swaps. BYO pen & BYO bike.
