Geocache Description:

The third of Dorking's 3Ws is the village of Westhumble. This is the second of four caches placed in or near this interesting village.

The coordinates are for a nearby carpark which is large and free and has toilets and a cafe. On Sundays you will see hundreds of friendly bikers who gather there, for some reason, from all over the south of England. As the name implies, this cache involves a riverside walk, which is very popular with walkers, especially in the summer months; and so some stealth may be required. Please take care of small children as well.

This cache is a puzzle multi-cache in which you have first to find an interesting "thing". It is not a micro. The "thing" is at the following coordinates:

N 51 14.X W 000 1Y.ABC

Note that X = Z(C+1)B, where Z = (Y-A+2).

Solve the following code which gives a Westing which is 0.050 minutes to the East of W 000 1Y.ABC.

Once you have found the "thing" consider it carefully. When the "thing" is looked at with the highest bit at the top (naturally), you will be able to see a number Q.

The final cache is hidden at N 51 14.[5*Q+55] W 000 19.[Q/2+41]

The cache box will take small swaps or TBs. Please make sure you return the cachebox exactly as you have found it.

Good luck. Please don't give any information in your logs which gives away the locations or how you solved the puzzle.

the geocheck below also contains the info needed for the Westing coords for the River Mole Bonus cache.
