Geocache Description:

Number 66 of the Only Connect series of puzzle caches. The published coordinates are not those of the cache. Solve the puzzle to find them and they lead to a magnetic BYOP final. The cache itself can be found at an appropriate final location - you can park within 100 yards (to the East) but need to pay a little bit of attention to any passing traffic. For this reason this cache is not recommended at night.


The rest of the series can be found by clicking on this link to the Only Connect bookmark list.

You are looking for one word which connects all five images. A little bit of vertical thinking may be needed.
 

F=the total word value of the one word associated with A (A=1 ... Z=26).

G=the total word value of .... B.

H=the total word value of .... C.

I=the total word value of .... D.

J=the total word value of .... E.

K=the total word value of the singular noun that connects them.

The cache can be found at : N55 07.Y W002 09.Z

Where Y = I x (F + J - H - G - K) and Z = (F + J) x (G - I) + K - H

 


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
