Geocache Description:

This puzzle cache is our first, and takes us back to the time before GPSs were available, and other navigational aids were required for treasure hunts. However, once you have solved the puzzle, you will no doubt benefit from your trusty GPS.

The cache is not at the published co-ordinates, and you should certainly not visit that location, as it is within a danger area. However, they are not an entirely random choice.

This string of letters and numbers should give you a series of other numbers, which you can call A, B, C…etc.

The cache can then be found at:-

N51 2(D-E).(K-C)(H+G)(A+I-L) W000 4(F-J).(L+C)(B+L)F.

We would not wish you to spend any money to solve this puzzle. So, if you are unable to find the right resources on the web, please contact us and we will point you in the direction of a very useful and interesting website – but only if you can persuade us that you know exactly what you are looking for!

The cache is a 4 inch long camo canister, with room for just the log and a pencil.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.


Please note: this is a Military Training Area on which live firing and other pyrotechnics may be used. The area is generally open public access. One of the safety rules for public access is:- Do not, (and ensure that children do not) approach, touch or pick up any metal objects lying on the ground. Please obey all by-laws and locally posted information concerning times when the area may be closed. These may be physical barriers, flags or lights.
