Geocache Description:


You can park at the given coordinates, and the cache is not far away.

I started geocaching in Saudi Arabia, a country of spectacular landscapes and a very different caching experience to the UK.

Few geocachers, some really hardcore terrain to traverse to get to some very isolated caches.

So, here’s a taste of it, through one of the earliest geocaches I found, my 5th ever: https://coord.info/GCWGRZ

A How many years between my log and the previous one?

B The finder after me reveals my name. What is the second letter?

C Look at the photos, you’ll see a country’s flag. What is the last letter of that country?

D In another photo, we got to see a fantastic rare lizard. The last letter of its name.

E View the larger map. Roughly what altitude are we at, in 100ms?

F On the map, there is a motorway about 3km south of the cache. Follow it all the way southwest until you reach water. What’s the last letter of the name of this sea?

Any letters, convert to the standard numbers 1-26.

N53 (B+C).(A+C)(D)(F-C), W002 (C+F)(C).(B-F)(E-C)(D)
