Geocache Description:

This cache is similar in concept to our “In Vino Veritas” cache, however this time the public ways (streets) are named after characters from the King Arthur legend. By picking up clues along the way you will then be directed to the cache which is a small clip lock container heavily camouflaged and hidden in a park nearby.

Within the area marked by the following three co-ordinates:

1. West point – S37° 51.800’ E145° 10.600'
2. East point – S37° 51.800’ E145° 11.400’
3. South point – S37° 52.400’ E145° 10.950’

find the name of a public way that corresponds to the answer to the first part of each of the following 5 questions. Then go to the relevant public way and answer the second part of the question. The information gathered will then be used to arrive at the co-ordinates to locate the cache.


1a) Who was Guinevere’s lover?
1b) To find the numerical value for “A”, what is the colour of the carport roof at No. 35?
Green = 5
Burnt Orange = 21
Blue = 3
A =

2a) Who was King Arthur’s nephew, also a Knight of the Round Table?
2b) Go to No. 30. “B” is the number of wrought iron inserts in what used to be a Spanish looking fence which had red tiles on it.
B =

3a) Who was the knight that Arthur proclaimed to be the greatest knight of all and is one of a few to achieve the quest of the Holy Grail?
3b) Go to No. 35 and find the name of the tree? “C” equals the number of letters in the name.
Note: The name of the tree has disappeared. Actually the whole house has gone! Until I can replace it, the name was "WINO"..

4a) Who was Arthur’s sister (could also be half sister)?
4b) What is the 5 digit number on the first of 2 electricity poles within the public way? “D” is the 5th digit.
D =

5a) Find a knight between Jousting and the Crusade?
5b) What is the 5 digit number on the first electricity pole as you enter this public way? “E” is the first digit.
E =

The location of the cache is
S37 5D.(A-1)(C+1)(B+C},
E145 1E.(A+B)(Cx2)(A+C)

The cache container is now a 200 ml Sistema and hidden in a crevice.
