"Terrain" and "Difficulty" ratings were upgraded to 4 both
There was an error in the coords for WPT 2 and FINAL

=============== Waypoint 1 ===============
Here you can park your car.
N 49°35.038
E006°10.748
Look for the sign on the
building.
The first line of the sign
is:
___. ___. ___ ___
___ ___ ___ ___ &
___ ___ ___ ___
now replace the letters by their
position in the alphabet (A=1 B=2 C=3 ...) and take the total of
the digits for every character.
___. ___. ___ ___
___ ___ ___ ___
& ___ ___ ___ ___

=============== Waypoint 2 ===============
N 49°
[G+D][G*G].[E*F][K+D][H+C]
E006°
[K-L][F-G].[I-B][F*G][L+G]
From here you will see a single white reflector between 80° and
100°.
Go to this point.
=============== Waypoint 3 ===============
From here you will see a single white reflector between 160° and
180°.
Go to this point.
=============== Waypoint 4 ===============
From here you will see a single white
reflector between 170° and 190°.
Go to this point.
=============== Waypoint 5
===============
Head from this point 860m in direction
220°.
Take care of being as exact in you measurements as possible.
You should have some skills in using your GPS-reciever.
=============== Waypoint
6 ===============
JUST TO VERIFY YOUR POSITION:
To check if the position you found is correct, simply search with
you torch in direction 49° there you should see a single orange
reflector.
IF THIS IS CORRECT, NOW DO THE NEXT
WAYPOINT:
For the next waypoint you have to go 781 in direction 62°.
=============== Waypoint
7 ===============
Here you will find a code:
___ ___ ___ ___
= = =
=
[W] [X] [Y] [Z]
Write it down and walk to the reflector you see between 10° and
30°.
=============== Waypoint
8 ===============
You will find the final cache by walking from here
[Y]2*[Z]+([Z]2-[Y]+(-1))+[X]2
m
in direction
[Y]2-4*[Z]
=========== HERE IS THE CACHE ===========
HINT:
ESP
NLNSP TD
WZNLEPO FYOPC L DTYRWP
DEZYP
TOTAL DISTANCE: 3.7
km
Bring along the following stuff to
complete the cache:
- Powerful torch (e.g. 3D-Maglite or
higher)
to search the
reflectors
- Replacement
batteries
because doing
this cache takes it's time
- Good and waterproof
footwear
- A pair of gaiters might be pretty usefull
Footnotes:
-> ROT13 (Caesar-Cipher by 13 chars) is a cipher commonly used
in Usenet postings. The term cipher itself might be a bit
misleading: The ROT13-algorithm is based on a rotation of all
alphabetic characters by 13. Speaking in computer terms the
ASCII-values of the letters are incremented or decremented by
13.
-> Terrain rating **** means:
Difficult. A real
challenge for the experienced cache hunter - may require special
skills or knowledge, or in-depth preparation to find. May require
multiple days / trips to complete.
SO PLEASE NO WHINING ABOUT SOME METERS OFF-TRAIL...

-> Difficulty rating **** means:
