Geocache Description:

Yellow Olympic Ring - Cache #5



By agreement of the members of the creation team, The Sussex Olympic Rings group of 65 caches will be archived on September 19th, 2016. Thanks for your understanding.


This series of 65 puzzle caches has been placed to celebrate the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics. Each ring is set by different cachers and contains 11 or 12 hides plus a bonus. The whole design is over 4km across. You will need to find all caches for a ring in order to find the bonus and complete the ring.

There are three Medal caches above the rings, Bronze, Silver and Gold. See the Bonus cache descriptions for how to find them. See the Gold Medal cache page for full series credits.

The cache is NOT at the given coordinates.

Parking

Two significant, free, parking locations have been added as waypoints on all the Yellow Ring caches. These are not necessarily the best place to park for all the caches, but you should consider them seriously where they are reasonably near the final co-ordinates you have successfully had confirmed by GeoCheck. Where more appropriate parking locations are available, some of these have been noted as parking waypoints in Geocheck. You may be able to download these.

At the time of placing, the cache contains the logbook, a small pencil and sharpener (though best to bring your own pen), and a few swaps including some Olympic/Paralympic goodies!


Paralympic Mascot Mix-up







The 9 squares in the grid above must be re-arranged so that all the Paralympic Mascot figures match up correctly. i.e. a head of a mascot matches up with its tail. The square in the upper left hand corner has been placed for you and should not be moved.

We suggest you print the grid and cut out the individual squares to help you solve the puzzle.

Once you have completed the puzzle, the numbers in the positions indicated in the blank grid below will give you the coordinates for the cache.



The cache can be found at: N:51 0A.BCD W:000 0E.FGH
