Geocache Description:

"Cache what we hid."


The cache is not located at the above co-ordinates, which are for a residential street. There is no need to visit this location. The general area is significant, however, as it is near to the former home of legendary comedian and one half of arguably the nation's favourite double act, the late Ernie Wise. Little Ern lived for several decades in Peterborough.



That is to say, the final cache co-ordinates contain all of the digits in the published co-ordinates, but not in the order given.

You can assume N52 and W0, the rest you will need to work out using logic, guesswork, your favoured online mapping service and the below location hints and geochecker:

  • The cache is adjacent to a public road.
  • The cache is attached to something prominent and metal.
  • The cache can be walked to from the published co-ordinates in less than 15 minutes (at average speed).

You are looking for a nano in an urban location, so bring your own pen. Stealth will be needed, so please take a view when you arrive at GZ and, if there are too many muggles, I would ask that you leave it for a better time. Refer to the location hint if needed in muggly situations.

Terrain should be suitable for buggies and wheelchairs. Please park and search with consideration to local residents.

Please be economical when writing in the log.
