Geocache Description:


Dedicated to all those archived caches ... and one in particular.

A few weeks ago I was looking through my list of favourites. I am often struck that simply reading a few sentences of your log can bring long-lost memories flooding back1. Why is it so intense? What does it mean? Where does this come from? Is it the admiration for an ingenious puzzle, or the thrill of an FTF race, or something at the final hiding place? Perhaps it's all of these or yet something else.

In a frenzy I started to make a list. The first one was obvious, and looking coolly at the complete sequence now I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. What do you think?

The cache isn't hidden at the given co-ordinates, but if you use the information given above you can work out where it is. It's a nice wooden box hand-built by my daughter and her husband.

You can use this checker for the first stage of the puzzle.

1. To my mind this is much more effective than a tea-soaked pastry.
