Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are not for the cache, which is a good thing, because you'd find it near impossible to get there, and even if you did manage it, you'd find yourself in a whole heap of trouble, one way or the other. Why? Well they're for the centre of the main runway at Gatwick Airport! PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO VISIT THESE COORDINATES! That said, don't dismiss them, as you may find them useful to solve the puzzle.

This puzzle cache features two fellow cachers, who had no involvement at all in its creation, nor were they aware of its existence until it went live. They have been used because their caches have been the major influence in my cache setting to date, and I thought it only fair they have a role in their very own cache. That and the fact that whenever you speak to them they seem to be going off somewhere or other - "forn parts" as Nanny Ogg would call them. Anyway enough of that, here's the story....

One day local FTF champion Tjapukai was out caching in the depths of Surrey, when he bumped into Brambler, creator of the excellent and much revered Pitch Series of caches. As they chatted they decided it would be a wonderful idea to combine forces and set a puzzle cache with each of them responsible for one half of the coordinates. As both were due to go on holiday, they decided to meet again in three weeks to discuss their plans further. The time soon passed, and it was not long before our two intrepid cachers were sat in a local hostelry chatting over a pint.

Brambler: "So, did you have a good holiday?"
Tjapukai: "Excellent thanks, we went to the Caribbean on a cruise"
Brambler: "What a remarkable coincidence, so did we."
Tjapukai: "Really? Where did you visit?"
Brambler: "Well we took one of those party cruises, that sails from one end of the Caribbean to the other. We spent most of the time at sea, and only stopped in The Bahamas and Trinidad & Tobago. What about yourself?"
Tjapukai: "We too covered much of the Caribbean, but went the other way, and stopped in a few more places: Barbados, St Vincent & The Grenadines, the British Virgin Islands, the Turks & Caicos islands and the Cayman Islands."
Brambler: "This coincidence is just too good to pass up, and I've had an excellent idea. Did you fly from Gatwick?"
Tjapukai: "As a matter of fact we did."
Brambler: "Perfect, we'll use my cruise for the latitude and yours for the longitude."
Tjapukai: "Ahhh, I see what you mean. Very cunning."

And that's exactly what they did.

In case it helps, which of course it may not (can you trust a Nanny?) you can visit a map of the Caribbean, which shows all the places visited by our travelling cachers, by clicking here.

Please ensure that you take a pen and paper with you, as you will need them to write down some information contained within the Micro. Good luck, and don't leave any spoilers in the logs.
