Geocache Description:

The co-ords above are NOT the co-ords of the Cache..they are made up. To work out the location of this Cache you will need to break the codes :D Its safe to say its in Midlothian....but where?????

To find the box you need to visit me.. I used to live and work underground but now I am on show, I am red with a black tip. I stand for all to see. You can find me at: EVRAEON TDTCIWR LIILNNG ACAMEGE HYOONTA The key to breaking me is in the Title. Once you have found where I live you will find a 8 digit number somewhere on me(painted on in white)prefixed by the letters N***M What you need to do is letter the numbers like this: 1234.5678 would be ABCD.EFGH To get the final co-ords: N 55°5(A-1).(B+4)(C+8)(D-2) W 003°0(E+3).(F+6)(G+4)(H-8). In doing this Cache you will visit 2 different places. They are well worth the look around. UPDATE! It has become obvious that the coordinates are out by about 26 meters. I have new and correct coordinates, but I cannot update the puzzle. The original creator of this puzzle was a code breaker, and I am not. So be aware that the final coordinates are not accurate, and you do not have to go into someone's garden to get the cache. If you message me with the solution, then I can give you the updated coordinates. Thank you for your patience. Happy caching!
