Geocache Description:

The Cache is not at the posted coordinates though they are at the end of a road which has the same name as a minesweeper in the British Navy.

HMT Swallow was originally built in 1897 and worked as a trawler.

It was requisitioned by the Admiralty in October 1914 as minesweeper No 654.

Play the game below and to reveal the correct minutes both south and east.

UPDATE 5 January 2023. Game up and running again so should be good to go though it may be slow in loading. Also if there is no action done in 10-15 minutes it may time out and you may have to restart the game. 

Any problems please let me know

Click on the grid below and you will be taken to another website to play the game. If it does not work on your Web Browser please try a different browser.

  • You can uncover a square by clicking it. If you uncover a mine, you lose the game.
  • If a number appears on a square, it indicates how many mines are in the eight squares that surround the numbered one.
  • To mark a square you suspect contains a mine, right-click it.
  • There are a total of 88 mines.

The final is at

S 37 49.???
E 175 21.???

You are only looking for the last 3 digits of the South and East Co-ordinates.

I hope you enjoy my puzzle.
