Geocache Description:

A circular walk on some of the lovely paths over the Junipers and Boxhill. 4½ miles, with shortcuts to 3½ or 2¼ miles. Family friendly, with tea and picnic stops, some gentle multis, easy puzzles and letterboxes with stamps. Some steady climbs. Can be muddy and slippery underfoot. All caches near to paths with easy access, no bushwhacking or fence climbing required. A pencil and pad needed to collect the stamps and clues for multis. GEOCACHING ON NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTY IS AT YOUR OWN RISK

This is the first letterbox cache of the series. Inside this screw-top cache, as well as the logbook and a few swaps, is a small stamp and an inkpad. These are not swaps, but meant for anyone who finds the cache to use, so please replace them in the cache after use. And if you have your own stamp, we'd be delighted to see it in our logbook.

The cache is not at the co-ordinates given, they are for this seat with a view near the top of Juniper Top.


You have just climbed over 300ft, so have a rest, enjoy the view, then take 81 from your Northings and 85 from your Westings to find Sid.


If there are A letters in Sid's top line.

B letters in Sid's middle line

and C numbers in his bottom line

the cache is nearby at:


N51°(C).(½A)(B-A)(C-C)

W000°(C+3).(B-A)(A-2)(B-A)

But due to a new fence placed across the footpath, a diversion is now needed through a gate 20 metres to your right.


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

Take a note of the clue inside the lid. Then you can use the four clues together from the four caches so far to get the hint for cache number 5 (FOR WHICH YOU'LL STILL NEED SID's A's, B's and C's).
