Geocache Description:

Not at the published coordinates; there is NO pencil in this cache now! If you use the Geocheck link below you can find the coords for my "Dorking Bonus Cache" (GCTPBN)

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 1 is hidden at

N 51 (K-C).RT(W-I+1)

W 000 (P+1).OFU


There is parking nearby and this cache starts a series of related caches on a pretty circular walk. The walk has short steep sections and has muddy patches in winter so good walking shoes are recommended.
