Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:


A short offset multi which will take you to an item of historical interest, which you can read about at the location.

The cache is a short walk away, and can be found at N55 13.Y W002 10.Z

At the published coordinates, please identify :

A = the two digit number on the sign which is immediately followed by a three letter abbreviation.

B = The largest number on the gauge.

C = The number of spikes on the left side rail (including the larger corner ones).

D = The number of spikes on the front rail (including the larger corner ones).

E = Half of the number of spikes on the right side rail (including the larger corner ones).

The checksum for A-E is 132.

Using your smartphone's calculator, or, if you're old-school, your brain:

Y = ((B + C) * D) - A

Z = (B * D) + A + E

 

My thanks to BroonDandTina for providing a replacement cache, in a slightly changed position.

Please deduct 2 from your Northings and 7 from your Westings. Hint, certitude and cache page updated.

 

I have provided a hint for the final, which is a tupperware box in a camo bag, but you will get further help in certitude.

Please replace the cache out of view.

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
