Read The Flippin' Calendar! Winter Geolympix 2018 Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Simply Paul: An afternoon visit in good conditions produced nothing at GZ and rather than replace this I've decided to let it go to make room at Ashridge for other folks' caches. Thanks to everyone who came looking and sorry to those who DNF'd this.

SP - Geolympix IV coming August 2020! - The UK's most 'Downton Abbey' Mega.

Geocache Description:


This geocache is NOT at the given co-ords. It's a Puzzle cache needing some research or calculation before you can find the small box, which is within two miles/3.2Km of this spot.

Assuming Monday to be the first day of the week (because it is, otherwise Saturday and Sunday wouldn't constitute the weekend), the cache can be found at October 27th in the following years:
N51 4 (1973+1987) . 1944 (1994+2000) 2002
W000 3 (2001-1952) . 1997 2023 (1962+2015)

Fun facts about October 27th:

It is the 300th day of the year (301st in Leap Years) and it's John Cleese's birthday. It also marks the death of Charles Hawtrey in 1988, and Squizzy Taylor in 1927. It saw the Cuban Missile Crisis come to a head in 1962 and a mini Stock Market crash in 1997... More here.

Set for the 2018 Winter Geolympix (27 Oct 2018) with permission from the National Trust.
