Geocache Description:


NOTE ABOVE CO-ORDS ARE NOT FOR CACHE BUT THE STATION AT MAIDEN NEWTON WHICH IS WITHIN 4 MILES OF CACHE

As the name implies varying degrees of homework will be needed to resolve this cache.
Firstly you will need to decode the Vigenere cipher below, and to do this you will need to be in possession of a keyword.
The keyword is the place in Oregon that a container of goodies was placed near (Beginning with 'P'), on May 3rd, which led to the sport of Geocaching as we know it.
Cipher = NCLALVRLIQITNKRGEOIDLTAOSSXQWVVLXDFBYTPARJZBHIVGTUOQIVVLXDFBYTPAXW

Having decoded the cipher you will find within it, something that when resolved will give the normal co-ord format and will lead you to the parking area. (No problem to the victors over the Durotriges)
{For those who wish to check coords correct. Adding all individual No's of Lat and Lon should equal 51}
At the parking area record Telephone No. as
A B C D E F G H I J K
