Geocache Description:

The co-ordinates above are not for the cache itself but the ruins of South Chailey Windmill. You do not have to visit this site but more information is available on the internet "Ruins of windmill, South Chailey, Sussex"

Solve the following code and the revealed co-ordinates will take you to another area of Chailey of historical interest.
116153166151156156165154157040153166151156163145163056157153165156165164162151

You will find parking for several cars at this site.

The cache is located a short walk away, and to find the cache location you still have some work to do.!!!

There used to be two plaques here but the smaller bronze one has gone missing (stolen?) so I have amended the formula for the final cache location.

On the forth line of the remaining plaque you will find two dates. 19AB - 19CD.

X = (A*D*D) and Y = (B*C)

From your location co-ordinates subtract X from your Northings and add Y to your Westings: a walk of a couple of minutes and you should have the cache.

Now reward yourself with a drink.

This is a small cache, (clip-top food container approx 15cm x 10cm x 5cm) so will only hold a log book, pen and small TBs or Geocoins plus "First to Find Certificates" for the first 3 visitors.

Thanks to Tootsie's Trackers for checking my codings.

If you cannot solve the coding you may find it helpful to visit GC1EE64 "In the Defense of the Realm"
