Geocache Description:

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 3 blind mice]
Y = DIAG [not four drams in a gill]
Z = CIAF [not 3 coins in a fountain]

alpha = SDMAS
beta = LACH
gamma = FTR

Cache number 4 is hidden at

N 51 (N+2).(alpha+1)(beta)(gamma-1)

W 000 (Y+Z).M(W+V)(C-R)

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.
