Geocache Description:

This is the first cache I have the privilege to place and hope that it provides as much pleasure to all those who find it as much as it did for me hiding it! This cache should take between 45 - 60 minutes to complete and is located on the outskirts of Wendover. It is advisable to leave your car at the co-ordinates above which is the location of the answer to the first clue, as there is very limited parking at the following locations.


Tree Corridor  

You will need to take a brainy person or pen & paper. You will also need to use the decryption code on the cache page to solve a clue, so take a copy of the page with you.
There are some great places to eat in the nearby village of Wendover. Amongst those are the Red Lion Pub and the Shoulder of Mutton. Both have good food. There's a Bistro and various other cafes etc to fulfill your every need.

To travel to clue locations, you must Master the Art of Investigation. Egg Fu Yung (EFY) was the first TB to be placed in the cache when it was activated. What number Aylesbury Road is the Tairyoku Aston Clinton Dojo located at where EFY trained?

Nearby is a post with direction signs to footways etc. How many signs are there at the top of this post?
    Ans: E
  • Proceeding onwards up the lane, N 51 4(Z+1) ZXY W 000 4(X+3) 8(Z+1)(X+2) and navigate to a saintly named house and make a written note of it.
    Using A=1; B=2 etc add up the total for the house name. Now encrypt the house name and do the same again! ADD the two 3 digit numbers together.
    Now add the individual numbers together and do this until you are left with a single digit as in this example: 437= 4+3+7=14=1+4=5
