Geocache Description:

This is a new series of caches to fill a gap in a quiet area of the Chilterns. It provides walks of varying lengths, so can be done in bits, or all in one go. The cache numbers are just for reference, and don't have to be followed in any particular order. Enjoy the series! :)


This cache started life as a Russian spy satellite in the 1950's. A few years after it was launched it suddenly stopped transmitting. Nobody would talk about what had happened to it, so it was eventually written off and forgotten about.

During Perestroika in the 1980's, documents were leaked, showing a massive cover up as to what happened. It eventually turns out, it was abducted by aliens, and used for all sorts of weird experiments. However the aliens made a big mistake, and a small piece of the satellite broke off and tumbled to Earth, landing in woodland near Hampden Bottom.

There it has laid for more than half a Century, But the alien presence is still very much active inside this cache. Be prepared to see some very odd goings on, in and around this cache - The FTF reports seeing a log book from an old archived cache from near Kimble! How did that get in there!

 

At the published coordinates is some 11,000 Volts switchgear. On the pole in the middle of the footpath is a new white sign with 2 words in brackets. Use these to calculate the coordinates

Where A =1, and Z = 6 by dropping the leading digit,   (eg J=10 becomes 0. W = 23 becomes 3)

The cache is at N51 42. (sixth letter) (second letter) (fourth letter) W000 45. (ninth letter - tenth letter) (twelth letter - fourth letter) (eleventh letter + seventh letter )



This is a top secret mission to find this cache - Tell no one, and destroy all your calculations! BYOP
