Geocache Description:

A Soviet Double Agent has infiltrated a GCHQ (Durham Branch) and has aquired a list of GC Agents, the list has been placed in a dead drop somewhere in County Durham and must be found by GC agents at all costs!

The list is not at the location listed above, please use the information provided to locate the list.


A numbers station is a type of shortwave radio station characterised by unusual broadcasts, reading out lists of numbers or incomprehensible Morse code messages. The voiced are often synthesised female voices. Most numbers stations will broadcast a simple tune or noise pattern between messages and many example recordings can be found online. It is widely assumed that the broadcasts are used to send covert messages to spies although this has never been officially acknowledged by any government that operated a numbers station.

The following recording has been taken from a soviet number station, we believe the message contains the coordinates of a dead drop which a soviet double agent has been using to supply the enemy with names of GC Agents.

Your mission is to seek out the dead drop after decoding the information in the number station broadcast, please add your name to the list and return it as found, it is important that the Soviet Agents don't know their dead drop has been tampered with!
