Geocache Description:


The 249th in a series of caches where a red telephone box is in close proximity to a post box.
The only rule is that they have to be able to be photographed together, and the phone boxes have to be red.
This Fine Pair also gives the bonus of a double pair with two post boxes.

A nice and short multi cache requiring gathering some info and then doing some quick sums.

At the published co-ordinates, you need to find the following information:

The telephone number of the phone box. (Look inside)
This gives you ABCDE FGHIJK.
And then look at the postboxes and find the postbox numberS.
Ignoring the letters and only use the numbers, these become;
PostBox Number 1 (left) = LM NOPQ
PostBox Number 2 (right) = RS TUVW

Then use the following sum to find the cache;
N D B L L-B . G N+O Q
W A A BX2 E/2 R . J Q W

If you are having difficulty in locating the phone number - try lifting the receiver.

Checksum of all digits in final co-ords is 57
Tweezers are recommended


The Fine Pair series was originally started by wizardsmum.

If anybody would like to place 'A Fine Pair' of their own please do, I would just ask that you let mattd2k at geocachingafinepair@gmail.com know first so he can keep track of the numbers and names to avoid duplication.

He also keeps a public Bookmark List of this series so once your cache is published please contact him via his profile page to have yours added.
