Geocache Description:


Some time ago a work “mate”, as a way of welcoming me to geocaching, took from me a puzzle and created “Micks Mystery” which to my shame I still have not found. The fact that I had the solution in my hand for a time makes it even more frustrating.
The need for revenge has stayed with me over the intervening year and I have kept a similar puzzle all this time waiting until I was confident enough to publish a puzzle cache. It’s just a shame Ian that you didn’t take them all from me!
In the puzzle every letter in the alphabet represents a different number 1-26. The sums below will help and if any letter does not appear its value is that remaining once the puzzle is complete. The only arithmetical signs used are x (times) and + (plus)
B + C = A
D + H = E
M + T = Z
F x O = G
H + I = G
J x J = C
K x K = A
L x L = B
M X O = N
O x Q =S
K x L = N
V + J = W
F x M = X x Y
F + R = X + Z
D x P = H + N

The coordinates above are not the true location but are in the vicinity. You will need to take a pen or pencil.
The true coordinates are
N53 (A + N - K).(Q x Y + C)
W001 (M x O + Y).(P + S - X)
