Number 1641 in a series of caches where a red telephone box is in close proximity to a post box.
The only rules are that they have to be able to be photographed together, be not more than 100’ apart and the phone boxes have to be red.
To find the cache you need to look at the metal plaque (with six lines of text) inside the phone box. Work out the values of ABCDE by counting the number of letters in specific words. A = line six/third word, B = line one/fourth word, C = line four/second word, D = line five/third word, E = line one/seventh word. The value of F is the number of screws holding the plaque in place and G is the number that is repeated three times in the text. You should now have all the numbers you need to calculate the final coordinates as follows:
N51 (D-B) (B+G).(F-C)(A+F)E
W000 (B-C)(C+G).(D+C)(E-G-C)(A+G)
Checksum for the final coordinates is 61.
If anybody would like to place 'A Fine Pair' of their own please do. I would just ask that you first visit www.afinepair.co.uk to request a number to avoid any duplication
mattd2k also keeps a public Bookmark List of this series. Once your cache is published please contact him via geocachingafinepair@gmail.com to have yours added
