Geocache Description:

A puzzle cache in Essex


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES.

The inspiration for this set of puzzles came from my attempts to solve the nearby But is it Art??. Any resemblance is therefore entirely deliberate ... and probably misleading.

Solve the puzzle to enjoy a walk and some pleasant views in the Essex countryside. You are looking for a micro, so bring your own writing implement.

Congratulations to Mr Crow for the FTF and (eventually) Gillywig/Mr Crow for a joint solution.

Tenayuca is a pre-Columbian Mesoamerican archaeological site in the Valley of Mexico. Aztec temple architecture primarily developed at Tenayuca, which has the earliest example yet found of the typical Aztec double pyramid, which consists of joined pyramidal bases supporting two temples. After Tenayuca came under Aztec dominance, the Aztecs adopted this innovative style for the worship of their own deities.

GZ moved slightly, now minus 0.002 N plus 0.004 E relative to the puzzle and checker solution.
