Geocache Description:

The cache is not hidden at the given location. The co-ordinates are for the Top Car Park on Puttenham Common where you might park.


To find the co-ordinates for this cache you need to decrypt the following text:

HV XR XE UW RO SN CA XG CH NC IK EN EV IY AF CR OB KD XP GY BG ZE NG RF FV DO KT OP NO VM LR WX ZD IM ZR IU LA VK LR FN MO IY NG RF KA VV SM HV KD CP YU TX CH XN DO FV MO HV LG II LN DE IN HO XS PF NQ NC FA BW CM HP

This text has been encrypted using two key phrases (which is a big hint on the cipher used). I have chosen the titles of two of my other caches for these phrases (naturally using just the alphabetic characters). So you just have to guess which ones I've used.

The cache is a one litre clip top container, large enough for most travel bugs. There is a hint for my Cutmill puzzle cache inside.

Please don't leave any spoilers in your log and have fun.
