Geocache Description:

A mystery challenge which if you should accept it will take you around West Yorkshire.

The above co-ordinates are not the final location for this cache, which is some where within the West Yorkshire boundary.

To find the cache you will need to visit six virtual caches, the locations for these are given on 6 Travel Bugs. Each bug has two of the six locations printed on it, so you will only have to find 3 or 4 of the six TB’s. This is to cater for TB’s being out of circulation between caches. Please keep the TB’s within West Yorkshire. E.G. TB Miles Apart #1 has positions for A & Z. Obtain the numbers from the caches at these sites & substitute them into the position below. TB Miles Apart #2 has another two positions printed on it for B & Y, again obtain the numbers as directed and substitute them.
The end location is given by N53° 5A.BC2 W001° 3X.YZ4

A, Find TB Miles Apart #1 or #6. Divide the distance to Borobridge by 12.

B, Printed on TB’s Miles Apart #2 & #4. Add 1 to the distance to Wakefield.

C, Will be found on TB’s Miles Apart #3 & #5. Half the distance to Keighley.

X, Find the TB’s Miles Apart #3 & #4. Divide the whole number by 2.

Y, Printed on TB’s Miles Apart #2 & #6. The distance to Halifax.

Z, Will be found on TB’s Miles Apart #1 & #5. Add 16 to the distance to Huddersfield and divide by 10.

This will give you the co-ordinates to take you to the final stone, the cache is hidden close by. Remember these figures you are going to need them for the next bit...
Just add the total of the digits after KIRSKILL HALL to 406. Then add this to the North Co-ordinate, and add the total of the digits after the churches to 139 and add this to the West Co-ordinate. This is the final location.


To assist in tracking the TB’s here are their waypoint names. Simply click the ‘Track Travel Bugs’ button on the top left of the main page and enter the waypoint in the search box at the top right of the TB home page.
