This cache is not at the listed coordinates, please do not go there.
Solve this quick puzzle at home, to prove your concentration and commitment. Then you can start on your homework!
The cache was set for those using maps but can be achieved using a GPSr if you have the appropriate knowledge, you will likely need scribbling paper and/or a calculator. What you do/learn at home will need to be done in the field for the final part.
Keen observation skills are needed too. Remember it is a MW cache so expect a few twists and turns.
Children and pets will need close supervision, as there are vehicular routes to traverse.
Allow as long as you can for your walk, you will be lucky to complete it in under 3 hours.

Identifying the name that inspired this cache
A B C D E F
Solve the formula to reveal the parking co-ordinates.
N 51 2(A+B).(C-D) (F-B) (A-E)
W 001 05.(A-E) (D-(F+B)) (C)
| The Use of Geocheck is essential. |
| It will prove you have solved the puzzle correctly and have identified the intended parking. |
| More importantly it will reveal the reference points from which to base your calculations for finding clues and cache. |
| Geocheck works on multiple input values please believe my text not the geocheck banner. Check your final solution too, when you get home after a DNF. |

Plot these points (all figures in metres) from the Reference Point.
The Questions you need to evaluate on your walk.
Update October 2022
The gates have changed but Dog is still relevant for at position L Your question to answer now is; The digital root of the first letter of the second word of the property name where a=1 z=26.
Update May 2020.
The swinging sign related to value M is no longer present. The pictorial which was on this sign is displayed in at least 5 other places on the building.
The sign related to value R is present but you may have to search quite well.
The cache can be found;
(((J*Q)-(H+M))*G)+R Metres South
&
((T*L)*((K*S)-H))-(M+Q) Metres West
Of the appropriate Reference point.
Values V & W need to be collected from a dog memorial a discreet distance from where you find the cache if you intend to continue with the challenge.
V = sum of letter values of first name when evaluated using (A=1...Z=6)
W = sum of letter values of second name when evaluated using (A=1...Z=6)
Good Luck with your Quest.

Note to all continuing with the challenge. You may desire to watch this listing for my maintenance logs. I'll post one every time I add a cache to the chain (may be outside your notification radius). Well lets see how many read this part of the page.
