Geocache Description:

The cache is close to a well surfaced level path suitable for buggies and wheelchairs.To find the final coordinates you will have to know the rules and be able to complete a Sudoku grid.

Before you set out print off the attached .jpg file which shows two Sudoku matrices. The one on the left contains the letters A to I which represent numbers which you will find at two waypoints, and S,T,U,V,W,Y and Z which you get by solving the Sudoku grid. The right hand table is your working grid.

1.The first step is to replace the letters A to I with numbers. The given coordinates are for a parking area. Across the road is the first waypoint where there is an object giving the answer to Q1.

2.Carry on to the next waypoint and answer Q2 and Q3.

3.In addition carry out the following arithmetic.
E=C-B : I=F-A : H=C+A

4.At this location you should now have all the numbers to put into the grid and solve the Sudoku and to find the values of STUVWYZ. Note it may not be necessary to complete the whole puzzle to get the numbers you want.

5. The final cache is at N52 5T.UVW : W001 0R.XYZ

where R=S+1 and X=Y-W-V

Note that if the weather is foggy one of the clues will not be seen.The cache is a standard size food container.
