This is an easy beginners cache designed to introduce young people to geocaching under adult supervision. Two intermediate waypoints are visited before arriving at the final cache location. Generally flat terrain is involved located within suburbia. You will need a person with some mathematical skills. The cache contains two glass sauce jars. Cache relocated twice (1/12 & 2/14) as other GZ locations were destroyed by construction work. Clues have been updated to reflect new better location.
You are a young warrior charged with seeking the key to your civilisation’s future. The key has been lost for generations, and without it’s return your civilisation is doomed. Many have tried to recover it but have failed. You are the last hope.
At the start location you will find an 8 letter word for the people that live here. Convert each letter to its number equivalent: Eg.
E X A M P L E S
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
for the new south coordinates decode the digits (B) (L) (A+I) and add to the decimal minutes of the starting coordinates.
For the new East coordinates decode the two digits (L+B) (L+B) and add to the decimal minutes of the starting coordinates.
Proceed to waypoint 1. At waypoint 1 look SW to the heavens and go to the nearest enlightened one, he will give you a six digit number. Convert each digit of the six digits to it’s letter equivalent: Eg.
1 2 3 4 5 6
A B C D E F
For the new South coordinates decode the digits (C-A) (C-F) (E-A) and subtract from the decimal minutes of the previous coordinates.
For the new East coordinates decode three digits (F/D)(C-D) (B) and subtract from the decimal minutes of the previous coordinates.
Proceed to waypoint 2. At waypoint 2 the controller of the lamps has a model code on a plate that appears next to a control key.
The model code contains a number – Substitute this number for N here.
Add (N+N+N+N+7) to the waypoint 2 South decimal minutes to get the final latitude.
Add (Nx49)+7 to the waypoint 2 East decimal minutes to get the final Longitude.
At these coordinates you will find the key to your civilisation’s future.
