GCB-Bonus! Geolympix Cyclerama Series Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Simply Paul: 13 miles on foot? There's a reason this series has suffered a lack of maintenance since my bicycle was stolen... So, time to let it go. Sincere thanks to everyone who did this cache and/or the series, and to Sustrans for the permission to place them. Sorry for any DNFs here!

Out of place but still easily grabbed. Onwards!

Don't miss the Winter Geolympix. We've some cool stuff coming!

Geocache Description:

Set with the support of Sustrans along their National Cycle Network Route 57 - The Phoenix Trail - between Thame in Oxon and Princes Risborough in Bucks, this 6.5 mile (each way) series of caches, mostly along a disused railway line, are a part of the Geolympix Legacy.

Gather a letter and a number from the other caches in this series to find this Bonus cache.

To find this cache: You'll need to collect letters and numbers from caches along the way. Depending where you start, you may be able to find it on the way, or the way back. Note, the cache is NOT at the above co-ords. This is a point midway between the East and West ends of the series.

A= ___ | B= ___ | C= ___ | D= ___ | E= ___ | V= ___ | W= ___ | X= ___ | Y= ___ | Z= ___
Missing a letter/number? (A+B+C+D+E)=(V+W+X+Y+Z+1)

The cache is hidden at N51° 4(A-B).(E-C)Y(C+W) W000° 5(W-D).X(Z+V)(E+C)

To reach it, you may need to backtrack a little away, but there should be easy access. If you find yourself without a clear route you may have the wrong final co-ords...
