Geocache Description:

The connoisseur of the Word Search series will be finding these puzzles rather straightforward and will doubtless be itching for a stiffer challenge. Here it is!

If you find this one before cracking the others, give yourself a mighty pat on the back. The coordinates point to the centre of the village, but only to indicate the rough area within a mile or two. You'll need to solve the puzzle to find out what three words lead you to the actual hiding place.


The small village of Whaley is a conservation area, and has a former watermill - the mill pond can be seen from the main road. Study the history of Whaley on Wikipedia.

More help in the PDF file linked below. If you're going bonkers over the puzzle and you're at the stage of seriously considering a whaley-watching trip or lakeside beach holiday in Alaska, take a deep breath and count to 28, 46, then 14.
