The above coordinates are for the recommended parking, although this cache may be reached by carrying on along the canal path from the Blakemere cache. The caches must be done in the order below and each one will involve solving a Sudoku puzzle to be able to obtain the correct coordinates. As you progress through the challenge the puzzles will become more difficult. The difficulty rating relates to the difficulty of the puzzle.

In order to find this cache, you will have had to solve the sudoku puzzle found on the inside of the Blake Mere cache logbook, and insert the appropriate figures into the coordinates below:
Cache location at:
N 52° (C3)(A3).(B2)(D6)(E9)
W002° (F4)0.(G4)(H8)(I7)
This cache is a small rectangular Tupperware container containing a logbook and pencil and a few swaps. Inside the cover of the logbook you will find the puzzle that you need to solve for the next cache in the series, the Newton Mere Cache. You should copy it down into the blank grid below.
The cache is a ten to fifteen minute walk from the recommended parking, and is a short distance off the main path that circumnavigates the mere. The last part is not suitable for wheelchairs or buggies and can get quite muddy. If you carry on round the mere you will pass close to The Colemere Circuit cache.
I recommend that you use a pencil when solving these puzzles or make copies of them to avoid getting half way through, realising that you’ve made a mistake and not knowing where you started from.
The Meres were formed at the end of the last iceage some 12000 years ago and more details can be found at Link
