Geocache Description:

This cache will bring you a bit of Christmas magic whatever the time of year.

The Cunning Cachers have created 24 hides for you to find in 24 days. Each cache has a bonus letter which will lead you to this, the Christmas Day bonus cache!

You do not need to find all the caches to complete this puzzle, but it may be of considerable benefit if you do!

You pre-Christmas task is to collect a sequence of twenty-four letters. Using a standard method, each letter can be replaced by a number.

The numbers are then used to calculate the coordinates of the cache. As a checksum, all the bonus numbers added together total 338. A worksheet is provided.

The final coordinates can be found using this calculation:

//N/1+2+3/2+4+6+16/1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+15+18+19+20+21+22+23+24//W//23/10+11/1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13 +14+15+17+18+19+20+21+22+23+24

These caches have been placed by various Cunning Cachers across Berkshire, north Hampshire and south Oxfordshire.

Taking the twenty-four caches in sequence you will have a list of 24 letters.

Note: cache no.17 is currently unavailable. The bonus letter for no.17 is H.
