Mole's SOS - Counting Vowels #143
Ad Lab Bonus
Some time ago (June 2009 through to August 2010) we had put together a series of caches and the theme of those was ‘Series’ – collectively known as Mole’s SOS (Series of Series)
Each cache was, in their own right, part of a group of caches (a series) around the country each following a theme linked to a landmark or object, such as churches, ponds, Village Halls and in this case 'counting vowels'
Each ‘series’ was devised by an individual cacher who either retained the series and developed it on their own such as the ‘ponds, dewponds and lakes’ series by martletsman or encouraged other cachers to add to the series with the request to advise the originator of a new addition in order to keep tabs of the increasing number and save duplication – such as the church micro series, which is managed by sadexploration (This is now the largest linked series of caches in the world)
There are some series of caches which do not get referred to by a rolling number allocated by the originator (like church micro #176), instead these others are referred to by their location – such as the motorway mayhem series where the motorway and the junction distinguish it from any other.
As a result 22 caches were put together highlighting 20 different series
Having moved recently away from Tonbridge we adopted out the early part of the SOS series (the first 22) and these are now owned by cachers local to Tonbridge – most are still active caches.
However we have added a few more since we moved (see bookmark list)
So now adding to this series further...
Counting Vowels
This is a series that was started my Mikes54 in 2017 and quite simply the idea is to visit an area look around, gather answers to questions and in order to get the co-ords for the final – count all the vowels – most of the 140+ caches in this series are in the Berkshire area with a few further afield and this one is the first in Kent. Due to the requirements of this series most are multi-caches with a few puzzle caches in there too.
If you would like to place a cache of your own in the Counting Vowels series, then contact mikes54 who is keeping track of numbers.

This however is a bonus cache to an Adventure Lab called Mole’s Counting Vowels around Headcorn – so all the leg work will have been done completing the AL – and taking all the answers you have obtained for those 5 stages – count the vowels
Checksum for the sum of vowels is 19
Once you have counted – put them into the following co-ords to get the Bonus final location
N51 (E-O) (E+U) . (O+U) (A-I) (O/A) E000 (O-U) (A+I+U) . (O-E) (A) (I)
Please handle the cache carefully
Enjoy
In order to log a 'found' online you must sign the physical logsheet - unless good reason for not being able to do so (sodden / full logsheet etc - if this is the case, ensure a NM log is also added) - however, don't have a pen ! - just log a 'write note'.
If you cannot find the cache, do not assume it missing and do not put a throwdown as a replacement. ALL maintenance is the responsibility of the CO – if any is required, please add a ‘Needs Maintenance’ log to highlight the issue.
