MK Schooldays: English Language Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

MKGees: Continuing the process of discombobulating this series. Time for this one to go. Thanks to all the previous finders - I hope you enjoyed solving.
Bizarrely, I not only found the container I placed here last time I did maintenance, I also found the previous container, in the same place.

Geocache Description:

This is the English Language examination from the MK Schooldays series of caches by MKGees.

The series is based very loosely around GCSE examinations.


The puzzle icon is shown at one of Milton Keynes' educational establishments, in this case Oakgrove School in Middleton.

However, the cache is not at this location. Please do not attempt to park or search there. It is private land.

As with all of this series, we are available for mentoring and support by email on request.


GCSEs were introduced into secondary schools in England in 1986 to replace the previous GCE "O" Levels and CSEs. They are available in a bewildering array of different subjects in a number of distinct categories. English Language sits in the English category.

Passing this examination will reveal Bonus Code B for MK Schooldays: Graduation Day.


English Language Examination: Time Limit 4 Minutes


The cache can be found at:


North KQo Q.JPJ

West 000o JQ.BXZ


The final cache is a black plastic "turtle tub" around 10cm diameter and 7cm deep, with a screw top lid. It contains a small log book and pencil/pen. There's room for small trackables (coins, etc.), but nothing large.

Please, as ever, take care to replace the cache as you found it.

As you will most likely solve this at home before venturing out,the final cache is placed where the calculated coordinates appear to be on GoogleMaps. This may be a few feet from where your GPS thinks it is.

We hope you enjoy your studies and that you get the grades you need.
