This cache is part of a series of caches that get you to visit and see the community artwork that has been applied to some roadside network infrastructure cabinets.
Note that no physical caches are placed on or near the cabinets - you only need to look at them to gather the information you need.

Also, AoC: Whitby West ended up with a bit of additional history on this series.
About This Cache
Unusually for this series, this multi has a nice linear progression of cabinets reasonably close together although the busy road will make this awkward at certain times of day. Surveying of this multi was done entirely on foot in the weekend and while crossing the dual carriageway to get from WP2 to WP3 is not great, the median is very wide. Please exercise common sense when getting between the waypoints even though they are all next to a footpath. The weekend or the evening is the recommended time to do this.
The Virtual Way Points
The virtual waypoints are the locations of communication cabinets with community artwork on them. The waypoints can be visited in any order but the listed order is recommended to put you closest to the cache at the end of the virtual waypoints.
Both questions for WP1 relate to the big word in the background image on the front of the cabinet. The word is partly obsured by the main subject but it should be reasonably obvious what it says.
| WP1 |
 |
A |
Number of letters in the big word. |
| D |
First letter in the big word (nth letter of the alphabet). |
Sorry about the arcane questions for WP2 but it doesn't comprise easily countable things so some careful reading is required here.
| WP2 |
 |
C |
When looking at the right (northern) side of the cabinet, on the left about halfway up (at the same height as a handle to the right) are some blue vertical stripes. How many stripes are there? |
| F |
Look for the big bolts on the left AND right sides of base/skirt of the cabinet. Find the total number of them and multiply by 2. |
| WP3 |
 |
B |
3rd letter in the word over the left spool (nth letter of the alphabet). |
| E |
Second digit of the "tape" length (that's the number above the symbol shown in the thumbnail). |
The checksum for A+B+C+D+E+F=29

Note that cache should be replaced with the cover facing down to retain its camouflage.
