Geocache Description:


This simple Mystery cache is the first of two caches that have been set to coincide with the BBH#162 - Bordering on 15th Birthday Happiness Event Cache (GCA4JRW) which celebrates GC191P3 the first meeting of the Beds, Bucks and Herts Geocaching group which took place in the nearby hostelry on the 20th Feb 2008.

 



Whilst setting this cache, it occurred to me to wonder how far and wide BBH members had cached and a quick question on Facebook included the following responses - Kenya & Florida, Costa Rica, Tasmania (came up twice), Japan, Singapore, New South Wales in Australia, India, Taiwan, South Island New Zealand, Cuba, Indonesia, Florida and my personal favourite - An Earthcache on the top of Kilimanjaro... My furthest so far is Greece - I clearly need to get out more - Lol



To find this cache :-

  • If Monday = 1 & Sunday = 7, and the first meeting was held on the 20/02/08, the value for A is the day of the week that it took place.
  • The meeting started at 6:BCpm

Looking at the outside of the buildings -

  • Let the numbers on this plaque by the side door be D E 9 F



  • And the number on the Sands of Time Trail plaque be G
  • The cache can be found a short distance away, at

    N51 55.(D+G-C)(D+E)(B-D) W000 40.(F-A)(A-D)(G-B)


    Please be careful of barbed wire whilst searching for the cache
