Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are for the suggested parking place near Newdale Park, NOT for the cache. The cache is a medium sized tupperware box, about 500m from the park.

This cache was designed to give the children some extra fun. Print out the grid below, and find all the words listed, hidden in the grid. The words can be reversed, horizontal, vertical and diagonal. Once you have found all the words, some letters will remain unused. Read these letters across from the top left corner to spell out 8 numbers. Once you have these 8 numbers, transpose them into the cache coordinates below.

CACHE COORDINATES

N 52º 4(1st) . (2nd)(3rd)(4th)

W 002º 2(5th) . (6th)(7th)(8th)

If the children are too young to do the puzzle, then why not print it out and take it along to the park and let them have a play while you work it out. Once you have the right coordinates, from the parking place, follow the paths/ tracks (no climbing fences are necessary). You will need to find a small bridge that crosses a stream. There is a narrow footpath that takes you under this bridge, follow this path towards the cache area. (It may get overgrown a bit in the summer months!) Take care along here as the path is close to the bank of a shallow stream.

We hope you enjoy this cache, it’s our first one! The coordinates were averaged out over 3 different days, so they should be fairly accurate. Please ensure the cache is hidden well as it appears that children play in this area, so there could be a chance of it being muggled if it isn’t covered well.
