Geocache Description:

A tribute to Monty Python's epic tale where absurd people run around doing silly things while searching for an object with no intrinsic value. Seems like a medieval version of geocaching.


A combination of offset, cache and puzzle waypoints that will lead you on a journey to the final resting place of the Grail. Some basic knowledge of the film will be very helpful. I offer no apologies for the painful verse. Bad poetry allows for obscure clues in ways that straight prose would ever sustain. So strap on your plastic armour, saddle up your coconuts and awaken your trusty squire for the Quest is about to begin.

Quest for the Holy Grail

At waypoint one your quest begin
The Grail to find and glory win.
To waypoint two is not so far,
So use your feet and not a car.
If ABC you had to pay,
Then find below the secret way.

At waypoint two, a cache to seek.
Average out, position tweak.
Look about, ignore the creek.
I'm sure I saw it there last week!

From waypoint three, X minutes flee!
A Cardinal will give the key,
Which one of four, I keep a tease,
(Three questions will the journey ease)
X is the number that you sees
When counting hex geometries,

From waypoint four you then must spy,
A place of trade that is nearby,
So get you there, but ask not why,
As if to choose and then to buy
Certain goods, you may apply,
The "Knights who Say" to satisfy.

From merchant’s door you then should go,
The coachman’s number MNO.
Add to the magic spell I show,
Your easting changes as below.
The south shrink not, nor do you grow,
From waypoint four that you should know.

E151° BM.DDX

At waypoint five the Grail is near,
A cache lies hidden out of fear.
My riddle bested, victory here
A pointless Quest it would appear.
