Win Slow in Winslow? (Bucks) Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Sensei TSKC: I have checked up on the final cache and it is indeed missing. This cache was one of my favourites but due to vandalism some months back, the mechanics of the cache altered and it has come to the end of it's life in this form. I am therefore, regrettably, archiving to make room for another cacher to use this area.

Thanks to everyone who visited.

Oss!

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

Winslow is situated 7 miles North of the Buckinghamshire County town of Aylesbury. Winslow is a small market town but growing daily. If you have completed Simply Paul's Winslow Boy then you'll enjoy the cache route on the other side!

Multi? Puzzle? Hmmm.


Do NOT mention any details of the location of the containers otherwise it may spoil it for other cachers.
Please read the whole of the cache page before you start. Vandals have been at work again and have now completely destroyed the wooden Kissing gate.

The cache is still up and running but I have had to temporarily rename it. it is also harder due to the vandalism.

Win Fast or Win Slow? (Bucks) 

The co-ordinates at the top of the page will take you to the microcache for this Multi/Puzzle. It is in the form of a 35mm Film canister.

Follow the instructions inside the micro to locate the main cache. You will need a pen and paper as there are some light maths and notes to make. I suggest you take a copy or electronic form of this cache page with you.

Do not be put off by the 3½ star difficulty rating. There may be aspects of this cache that may warrant it. Then again, there might not be!

The Final Cache:

The final cache is in a fairly open area and I therefore ask you to pay particular care when retrieving and replacing it. It may be prudent to move away from the cache area to sign the Logbook. We found it easy to return to your car (if you have one!)

Substitute the letters for the numerical values you obtain from the information you acquire from the micro.

For your benefit and ease of problem solving:

  • E = ii x (i - iii)
  • F = (C - A) x iv
  • G = i + iii
  • H = (iii + iv) x iv

Where "x" means 'multiply' in ALL formulae.

 

N51 Bx(C+A).(E+F)     W000 (G+(CxD)).(H-(A+B+D))

N 5 1 * * . * * * W 0 0 0 * * . * * *

 

 

Important Notes / Advice:

  • Please take extreme care when replacing containers
  • Ensure you place them in exactly the same place as you found them
