Geocache Description:


Dark matter is a form of matter that is thought to account for approximately 85% of the matter in the universe, possibly being composed of some as-yet undiscovered subatomic particles.

Astronomers cannot see dark matter directly but can study its effects. The primary evidence for dark matter is found in calculations involving gravity and the motion of galaxies.

 

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

 

The coordinates for GZ can be calculated using the text below:

A E C S A O C S H M T A Y O H E N M T E A M H O T U V T N F H D E G R E I E R E D R E A D

N N G O D U R F R U I T O F T F T I T Y O N D U I E B O G S P R E E E E E E E R S H H F A T O

S S R M E T H E Y U R O F G N B E E N D P I R O T U I F O N A F T O Y Z E T E T R R I I O S H O T

T N T H E A T F R U O S O U P S R

 

Another pen and paper exercise.

Not all letters in the above table are required for the solution.

Find a sequence that spells out the coordinates. For example, every 2nd or 3rd or 4th … letter. You need to also find the correct starting point.

Now that we have told you what to do, there are a couple of twists as well.

 

GZ is in the Camden Equestrian Park. There is a gravel walking trail that can be followed for most of the way. Please be aware that equestrian events may be in progress. Most events only use a small part of the Park. Occasionally there is a larger scale event that involves the whole park. Such as the EEA CNC Competition which used the “whole grounds.” It is probably best to avoid caching here when this occurs. This information can be viewed on the website below.

Also, don’t turn up when the Camden Show is on (March or April). Check the following website for a calendar of events:

You can park on Cawdor Rd, near the park entrance. (see TH coordinates) There are two entrances only about 40m apart.

 

Congratulations to The Booos and Booo Booo for FTF.
