The above coordinates are not the location of the cache.
The coordinates listed are for a parking spot from which the cache is a pleasant half mile walk down the track bed of the old Selby to Market Weighton railway. Once you crack the puzzle you will see that there may be shorter routes to the cache site but parking here is my recommendation.
You will find the coordinates of the cache Here .All you have to do is use your initiative to convert them into a form you can use. I’m not sure whether this is an original idea for a puzzle but is certainly not something I have seen before.
If you manage to convert the clue into a likely looking set of coordinates, adding all the digits together should give a checksum of 42. There are several ways of going about the conversion, some far simpler than others. I would be interested to hear which one you used.
Please note this cache is for Optical Storage Media and Travel Bugs only.
There are 12 assorted Audio CDs, CD-ROMs and DVDs. If you take a disk please leave another in its place so that the numbers and future visitors choices are not depleted. There is also a camera for you to take your photo with, I will develop it when it is full and post the pictures on the cache page. There is a bit of space left for small Travel Bugs but please DO NOT leave any other items in this cache.
The Selby to Market Weighton railway line was built in 1848 by George Hudson's York and North Midland Company. It was taken over by the North Eastern Railway Company on 31 July 1854, and converted to double track in 1890 when the Market Weighton to Driffield section opened.
On 5th December 1953 stations at Bubwith, Highfield, Foggathorpe, Holme and Everingham were closed but the line itself remained open. It finally closed on 14 June 1965. The section you will walk on is a permissive path and is maintained by the local parish council. It is a popular walk for local dog walkers being both level and dry underfoot in all weathers. If you are lucky enough to visit at the right time you may be rewarded by natures’ bounty of Apples, Cherries and Blackcurrants growing wild along the walk.
