Geocache Description:


I’ve wanted to make a series like this for ages, so here it is! There are 5 caches in it with Difficulty/Terrain ratings 1/1, 2/2, 3/3, 4/4 and 5/5. The caches are:

You can only find the co-ordinates of the 5/5 by finding the other 4 caches in the series first. So if you want to find The 5/5, keep reading before looking for any of the others.

Here’s how this cache works. Each of the other 4 caches' containers/log sheets contains an N number and a W number. Add up the 4 N numbers from those 4 caches to get the digits xx.xxx. In the same way, add up the 4 W numbers from those 4 caches to get the digits y.yyy. You're then ready to start looking for this cache.

Go to N55 xx.xxx W004 0y.yyy where you’ll find a field puzzle. Please move away from its hiding place so as not to draw attention to yourself while you try to solve it.

Please do not use force as you may damage it.
How do you solve it? Well, each of the caches in the series contains a picture. Memorise those pictures or take photos of them, because they will help you solve the field puzzle, which in turn will give you the final co-ordinates. Then it's just a matter of going to the final co-ordinates and retrieving and signing the log book. Have fun, and be careful.
