Long & Annoying Multi-Style Letterbox/Hybrid - WG Letterbox Hybrid

This cache has been archived.

Simply Paul: Sadly there was no sign of this. If the recent DNFers would like to contact me via Messenger with the final co-ords they have for this one I should be able to upgrade them to Courtesy Finds.

Rather than replace it I'm archiving as it's not part of the geoArt and was always a bit of a faff. Thanks for finding it everyone! I hope you enjoyed the experience.

Geocache Description:

You can try to solve this in advance but you'll end up with 177,147 possible final locations. So please don't. Instead come to Ashridge - it's lovely - and tackle this in person. It should take less than an hour and involves a walk of less than 2.5miles/4Km through the woods.


Set for the 2018 Winter Geolympix with permission from the National Trust. If you intend to attempt the Letter/Box Challenge on Mega day you may want to leave this until then.

Start at Post 1 at N51° 48.508' W0° 35.512' (Given co-ords)
You're looking for a green plaque on it.
If there's a D on it, use N -0.482 W -0.176 to calculate fresh co-ords.
If there's a H on it, use N +0.079 W -0.152 to calculate fresh co-ords.
If there's a L on it, use N +0.151 W +0.088 to calculate fresh co-ords.
And so on!

Good luck. Please DO NOT remove the stamp or ink pad. Neither is a swap - They make this cache a LetterBox/Hybrid. Thank you!
