Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the given co-ordinates, and there is no need to visit that spot.
The true cache location is obtained by solving the following puzzle.

PLEASE NOTE
The cache needed to be moved on 2nd August 2016 and the puzzle altered to suit the new location.
If you had solved the puzzle prior to this date then you will have to solve it again to find the new cache location.

A = A door is an opening or closing structure used to block off an entrance, typically consisting of an interior side that faces the inside of a space and an exterior side that faces the outside of that space. While in some cases the interior side of a door may match its exterior side, in other cases there are sharp contrasts between the two sides, such as in the case of the vehicle door. In addition, doors typically consist of a panel that swings on hinges or that slides or spins inside of a space.

B = Sticks is an off-beat noir action comedy about a smuggler of Cuban cigars who gets involved, and ultimately falls in love, with a Cuban revolutionary Maria who's in the U.S. trading cigars for guns. The two join forces to sell a large (stolen) shipment of Castro's private label cigar, the famed "El Mariposa", and suddenly they find themselves enmeshed in the seedy underbelly of a mob-run cigar smuggling ring that's being monitored by the FBI.

C = Spine or Spinal, in medical terminology normally refers to the vertebral column which is a bony structure found in vertebrates. It is formed from individual bones called vertebrae (singular: vertebra).

D = A gate or gateway is a point of entry to a space enclosed by walls, or a moderately sized opening in some sort of fence. Gates may prevent or control the entry or exit of individuals, or they may be merely decorative. Other terms for gate include “yett” and “port”. The word derives from the old Norse "gata", meaning road or path, and originally referred to the gap in the wall or fence, rather than the barrier which closed it.

E = Hive Records was an American independent record label that mainly focused on powernoise, trip hop, ambient, IDM, and sub-genres of industrial music. The label was founded in 2003 by DJ Insect and DJ Caustic in Dallas, Texas.

The cache location is given by N 50 5A.(D+E-B) A C W 000 5B.B (D-E) (C-B)
