Geocache Description:


There is a geocache hidden at N54 KE.HJJ W001 JD.FJL. You clearly need to know what numbers are represented by the letters.This Wherigo Cartridge will help you to find the location of four clues, they too are numbers. You do NOT need to visit the clue locations (but might want to anyway). The reason for this will only become clear when you solve the puzzle. This Wherigo has been created to give visitors to the Yorkshire Mega event a challenge. It will only start inside the the grounds at Newby Hall. Before you take on this challenge you need to be aware that you will need to travel to 5 or 6 different locations nearby to obtain all the information you need. You can choose the locations to visit. To limit unnecessary travel it is recomended that you play this wherigo alongside your other activities rather than straight through (FTF aspirants will of course ignore this tip). When deciding where to go it would be a good idea to take into account the fact that the greater the distance you travel between your chosen locations (within reason) the more successful you are likely to be.

When you have identified the four number clues arrange all the separate digits contained in them in descending order (ie highest first, next highest second etc) then label them with letters of the alphabet, starting with "A". The coordinates of the cache are N54 KE.HJJ W001 JD.FJL.
