Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed location! This cache is the bonus cache for the Only Connect series, inspired by the TV show.


The four puzzles you will need to solve to get this bonus are:

Each cache contains two of the eight missing digits of the coordinates. Once you have collected all the coordinates, you will be able to solve the following formulae:

  • N53 2A.BCD
  • W001 3E.FGH

Due to tree cover, the coordinates are accurate to 10m. The cache, along with all the caches in the series, is handmade, so bear that in mind. There is a new, unactivated trackable in the bonus cache for the clever person that is F2F. Once you have found all the caches in this series, you can display the following image on your profile if you wish, by copying and pasting the below code.

These caches should blend in pretty well with their surroundings; that said, some will be hiding in plain sight. You may have to search with your fingers for others though! When searching for these caches, you do so at your own risk. Some may be difficult to get, especially after bad weather, so pay attention to the terrain ratings.



Victoria does wish you luck, honest. She probably just needs another whisky.

Congratulations to The Gom Squad for being the first to find the entire series! That was very speedy indeed!
