How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the published coordinates - this is for the recommended parking.

This is a multi-cache, with a puzzle element that can only be done at NIGHT.

Start to finish (back to your car) will take approximately 2 hours with a 3km walk including some off the beaten track.

Please only exchange items that are related to the night. The cache originally contained items that glow in the dark or light up.


You will need a good torch. I personally recommend a 1000 lumen CREE as a small and very effective torch.

Make sure you have spare batteries for your torch and GPSr.

Set a waypoint of your car before you leave.

Stage 2 is no longer required, go straight to Stage 3

You may need to do some research to decode the cipher at stage 3. I suggest you bring your own pen as this cipher can be a bit of a pig (hint, hint)!

This is a four stage cache

Stage 1
Go to the above co-ordinates and get Muzzy’s number – this can only be done between 18.00 and 02.00

Convert Muzzy’s number to ABCDEFGHIJK

Stage 2

Now go to N51 FH.EK(G+J) W000 GJ. (D+E+F)(GxF)(D+E-K)

Stage 3

Near to stage 2 at the top of a conventional device for pointing the way you should find the cigarette tube.

After deciphering the code and carefully replacing it, proceed to stage 4

Stage 4
Once you have found "Pip" look East for the start of your trail which will be marked with a small red marker approximately 6-7 foot up a tree. You will see these better with your torches at eye level, follow the markers (some red but mainly white) through the woods to the final cache location. The cache is an Ammo can with a geocoin you can discover (but not remove). Please make sure the cache is properly replaced and covered afterwards.
