Geocache Description:

The cache is not hidden at the above co-ordinates. The above co-ordinates are for the North West meet on 10th July 2004. The cache is easily walkable from there, but you can probably park nearer if necessary.

You must solve the puzzle below in order to find the correct co-ordinates for the cache. I would advise you to solve the puzzle before heading off to find the cache.

5 geocachers all live in the same street, in houses numbered 1 to 5. Each of the cachers lives in a different house and owns a different GPSr. From the clues below, you must find out where each cacher lives and which GPSr they own. You must then use this information to figure out the co-ordinates for the cache.

The cacher’s names are Beachcomber, Grotto Gremlin, Robin Reliant Girl, Ravenclaw and Team Sparrow. The GPSrs owned are a garmin etrex legend, a garmin geko, a garmin 60CS, a magellan sportrak pro and a magellan meridian gold.

Puzzle clues
1) Beachcomber owns a garmin 60cs
2) The owner of the garmin etrex legend lives at number 5
3) The magellan GPSrs are all owned by cachers on the even numbered side of the street
4) Grotto Gremlin owns a magellan sportrak pro
5) Team Sparrow live at number 5
6) Robin Reliant Girl lives at number 1
7) Grotto Gremlin lives in a house numbered one away from the person who owns a garmin geko.

If you get stuck with the puzzle, you may ask us one specific question, for example ‘What house does ravenclaw live in?’ We will do this when the cache has been found at least once. The first to find must complete the puzzle fully without our help.

The cache is hidden at the following location:

N53.31.ABC
W002.42.DEF

Where
A = The house where Ravenclaw lives
B = The house where Beachcomber lives, minus the house with a garmin geko
C = The house with a magellan meridian gold multiplied by two
D = Grotto Gremlin's house multiplied by two
E = Team sparrow's house, minus the house with a garmin etrex legend
F = The house with a sportrak pro plus the house with a 60CS

Please note: The cachers depicted in this puzzle are fictitious. Any similarity to any cacher, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

If you want confirmation that you have found the correct co-ordinates before setting off to find the cache, then email us and we will confirm if you are correct or not.
