Geocache Description:


EARLY WARNING: It is our intention to archive this cache at the end of March 2023 in order to free the area up for other caches. If this causes any problems, please contact us through our profile and we will do our best to accommodate any special requests.

“Honest” Harry is a small-time bookie of our acquaintance. When Harry is not at the races relieving his clientele of their hard-earned dosh he fancies himself as a bit of a geocache puzzle solver. And in common with many members of the gambling fraternity, Harry has a ‘system’ for almost everything.

Take puzzle solving for example. Harry has this ‘foolproof method' whereby he places carefully chosen numbers down the left hand column of a special grid. He then fills in the rows with appropriate sets of words (omitting any spaces). Finally, he takes certain letters from the completed grid and applies them to the given formula. Simples!

Here is a grid that Harry has prepared specially for this particular cache. He has already entered his chosen numbers, and has even put in some letters to get you started. See whether you can get dear old Harry’s method to work for you.

Grid

The cache can be found at N51 31.(15k)(14j)(18f) W000 58.(17f)(16b)(13k)

Needless to say, the listed coords are for a random point a short distance away so there is no point in going there.

The cache is a magnetic micro. Please bring your own pen/pencil.

A racing certainty that FTF would go to the unstoppable wendykmj - by a distance apparently.
