The A Fine Pair series was initially started by wizardsmum when she placed the first cache in the village of Fittleworth, West Sussex on October 8th 2011. A Fine Pair is essentially a location where a traditional K6 red telephone box is close to a red post box. The series was initially quite slow to grow, and when wizardsmum gave up Geocaching in 2014 , ownership of the series passed to mattd2k, an early fan and owner of caches in the series.
After the creation of a Facebook group and the development of a statistics webpage, awareness of the series increased and placed caches started to grow at a greater pace, but still mainly in Southern England, with Dorset, Cornwall and Gloucestershire becoming hotspots. In January 2018 the 1000th cache in the series being was placed, and the series had reached as far as the Isle of Man, Northern Island and Northern Scotland!
The series continues to grow, but due to mobile phones leading to a decline in the use of public telephones, many of these iconic boxes are slowly being removed. However, many have been adopted by local parishes and given a new lease of life as Information Points, Book Swaps, Cafes and Defibrillator Points.
Anyway, on the front of the post box you need to find the Postbox number and the date.
Note: There is no physical container at this location AND you are right in front of the Estate Agent's window so be aware of muggles.
Ignore the BS part of the Postbox number and then turn the remaining individual numbers into a letter of the alphabet starting with A and continuing until you end with N, so it will look like this:
AB CDEF GH/IJ/KLMN
North 51 (F-J) (K+C) . (B+D) (E+G+M) (A+L)
West 002 (N-J) (F+H) . (A+B+C) (N+M) (B+D)
Once you have the new set of coordinates it should lead you on an short, easy walk not too far out of your way to find the physical container.
