Geocache Description:


The posted coordinates for this cache will take you to the location of a modern Village Sign in the middle of the village of Whaddon. The cache is NOT at these co-ordinates (obviously because it's a mystery cache).

If you want some information about the village (and to solve the puzzle), take a look at the Adventure Lab "Answer Smash - Whaddon Bucks". If you complete this Ad Lab, you'll be able to find the co-ordinates for this cache.

To find the cache, you'll need the five code pairs from the Adventure Lab.

Now use those code pairs to turn the following into a set of coordinates:

N 52° 00.0AB W 000° 49.CDE

You can check your results on the solution checker if you want to be sure.

If you've got the right coordinates now, you can go and have look for the cache. Stick to roads and public footpaths please! The cache is a special, camouflaged to blend in with the surroundings.

 

About Village Sign Caches

⠀

 

This cache belongs to the Village Sign Series, a series of caches based on ornate signs that depict the heritage, history and culture of the villages that put them up (generally on the village green!).

The signs can be made of different materials from fibreglass to wood, from forged steel to stone. They can depict anything from local industry to historical events. The tradition probably started in Norfolk or Suffolk and has now spread across most of the country so we thought we would base a series on them!

More information, bookmarks and statistics can be found at the Village Signs Website

If anybody would like to expand the Village Sign Series, please do.
I would ask that you request a number for your cache first at www.villagesignseries.co.uk
so we can keep track of the Village Sign numbers and names to avoid duplication.
