  2. You will have some letters left over. These will spell three numbers e.g. Nine.

  3. Add the three numbers together and you get another number.

  4. Multiply this 2 digit number by the number of songs in the grid. This will give you another 2 digit number which will replace the question marks in the co-ordinates below.

  5. The cache can be found at N 57° 31.7?? W 004° 29.949.

Assorted toys.
A paracord keyring (made by myself)
A log book and pen
