Geocache Description:

The cache requires some initial investigation on the Internet in order to find the virtual cache locations that will lead you to the final regular cache.

The starting point for the cache is in the middle of Aztec West Business Park, however the actual cache is located just outside of the business park. Aztec West is very well maintained and contains a couple of picturesque lakes that are home to various wild fowl including Swans, Ducks, Moore Hens and Canadian Geese. It’s not a place that people tend to visit unless they work there or live close by. There are no restrictions on access to the site; however, during weekdays you should park at the initial location.

Now for the cache.

1) The Aztecs had a sacred calendar called Tonalpohualli. AB ( _ _ ) is the number of days that made up an Aztec week. CDE ( _ _ _ ) is the number of days in the Aztec year.

2) The Europeans made contact with the Aztecs in the FG ( _ _ ) Centaury.

3) The Aztec West hotel is a H ( _ ) star hotel.

Once you are armed with this information you can begin the cache.

4) At the initial location there is a sign stating the maximum length of stay J ( _ ) hours.

Replace the letters to give the next virtual location. N51.32.C(A+F+G)(B+J) W002.34.DEH

The walk should take you past both of the lakes as long as you keep to the paths. Remember the bread to feed the ducks!

5) There is a small sign at this location showing the manufacturers of the entrance gate. The first three digits of the Patent No starting GB are KLM ( _ _ _ ).

Substituting the numbers for the letters will give you the location of the cache.

N51.32.HH(K+L) W002.35.EL(C+D)

The location is much nicer and safer than the caches previous location.

The Cache is a 0.5ltr Tupperware box. Original contents include:- Yoyo, Car, some other toys made in China a couple of travel bugs plus the normal Note Book, pencil and sharpener.
