My dear Watson...

A small contribution to puzzle ridge inspired by the fictional but legendary Sherlock Holmes (that’s an interesting name by itself).

Most of these puzzles are actually much simpler in nature to what I tend to make of them. My mind races off in the most amazing directions when often the solution lies in something much simpler.

That said I have put the cache co-ordinates into a simple code below which the “great ones” will probably solve while the ink is drying on the paper.

As Sherlock reputedly would often say to his sidekick Dr Watson - it is simple - or thereabouts.
