Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed co-ordinates.

To find the location of this cache, you will need to know that my birthday is 15th October. Below is a list of some milestones in my life. Using these milestones and my birthday, you ought to be able to (easily?) work out the correct cache co-ordinates.

It is located at South AB CD.EFG East ZYX WV.UTS (with checksum S=34, E=22)

A - 1963 started kindergarten
B - 1974 started university (hey! it’s possible)
C - 1975 began driving lessons
E - 1978 got my drivers license (I was a bit slower at this)
F - 1983 vowed to do more exercise, bought a colour TV
Z - 1989 vowed to do more exercise, went 4WDing
Y - 1992 vowed to do more exercise, started jogging, swimming and cycling

V - 1998 my brother got rid of his old gps
T - 2007 nothing special but I needed another year

D = 1+F
G = B+Y
W = Z-X

Feel free to send me a birthday greeting on the appropriate day when it comes around!
