How Geocaching Works

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

Geocache Description:


The cache is not located at the above listed coordinates.

To find the cache you must solve a Sudoku puzzle .... with an additional challenge!
The arrow-head shapes are really 'greater than signs' (or 'less than signs', depending how you look at them).

As well as following the normal Sudoku rules by filling in the pink and blue squares with non-repeated digits from 1 – 9 and with no duplicates of the numbers in the columns and rows, you must also obey the 'Greater Than' and 'Less Than' symbols.

Unlike a normal Sudoku, the starting grid is blank. The 'Greater Than' and 'Less Than' symbols are the only clues you have to the placement of the numbers. Good luck!

Once you have filled the Sudoku grid, use the following to find the co-ordinates of the cache:

          South 35° 5 (FW) . (HS) (BV) (EZ)
          East 147° 0 (GU) . (DX) (AT) (GZ)


I believe, but cannot be sure, the solution is unique so, feel free to message/email me your solution and completed sudoku and I will check it!


Good Luck!
  • The cache is only small (no room for swaps) so bring your own pencil and a tool to extract the log.
  • This can be a busy area (muggles can easily sneak up on you).
  • Please ensure you aren’t seen retrieving or replacing the cache and that the container is placed back properly (so it is not visible) to prevent muggling.
  • PLEASE, no spoilers in your log.

Enjoy the challenge!!!
