Another cache in a National Numbered Series of Letterbox Hybrid caches, placed to mark one of a diminishing number of post boxes placed in Queen Victoria's reign and still in use for regular collections by Royal Mail.
At the posted Co-ordinated you will find a particularly fine example of a Queen Victoria Post Box set into the Church stone wall.
Solve the equation below which will take you to a family Vault in the grave yard.
Last Collection Times (single digits):
Monday - Friday = M Saturday = A Abertridwr = I Trecenydd = L
Post box No CFBO XXD
N 51° 35.(X x B)(O + I)′ W 003° 17. I ((A x M) - X)′
Please take care whilst walking on the old grave stones in the path as they are slippery especially when wet!
Look low to find the family name xxxxxxx xxxx on the entrance to the Vault, using alphabet to number conversion (A=1, Z=26) to find the cache location.
Fifth letter of thier family name = Q
Second letter of thier family name = N
Ninth letter of thier family name = V
Tenth letter of thier family name = P
Eleventh letter of thier family name = B
From the family Vault Co-ordinates go here to find the Cache a short distance away hanging high in a tree:
(Q x V) + B Degrees & (V x N) - Q Meters
Please leave the Stamp in the cache.
Also be aware the cache was placed using a 10m fishing pole TOTT, only attempt to retrieve it if you are able to replace as found.
If you know of an eligible post box and would like to add to this series, please apply to Team Hippo for a series number, giving the following:
