Geocache Description:

***MY 100TH CACHE*** Not at published coordinates

These puzzles have become quite popular in recent years. They are based on well-known statements, expressions, idioms, sayings, titles etc

An example would be

X = FITG

the expression (or TV programme title) is
(One) Foot in the Grave
and so X =1.

You need to work out the following numbers:-

A = ITATTQ
B = ROPFMM (LOTR)
C = TOAO
D = STES
E = POI
F = TD [not two turtle doves]
G = PFABEID
H = OEJIAPOC
I = COTE
J = DS
K = GS
L = Q
M = RSIAMO
N = SSIAH
O = COH
P = FAT
Q = BOTNT
R = HPBBJKR
S = MOADMC
T = STTW
U = LW [neither one last wish nor three line whip nor three little words]
V = LOAES
W = SOAG
X = BM [not three blind mice]
Y = DIAG [not four drams in a gill]
Z = CIAF [not three coins in a fountain]


Cache number 3 is hidden at

N 51 (Y+2).(H-1)(X+3)((G/2) - L)

W 000 (Q-5).(M+1)(Z-F-3)D


This series of related caches is on a pretty circular walk. The walk has short steep sections and has muddy patches in winter so good walking shoes are recommended.

***Please ensure this cache box is closed properly after you find it, to prevent "water ingress"***
