This cache has been archived.

Simply Paul: This has indeed vanished. Ah well, it lasted well. Thanks for all your logs folks and sorry to the DNFers. Lovely day at Ashridge today, so I shot some GIFF time-lapse footage while walking around the site.

Geocache Description:


Set for the 2018 Winter Geolympix with permission from the National Trust.

This cache is NOT at the given co-ords but is within a mile or 1.6Km of them - This is a simple (TBC!) puzzle-style Letterbox/Hybrid. A Rebus is a picture puzzle where 'you say what you see' and that leads you to the answer. And this is a Rebus Puzzle-style Letterbox/Hybrid cache - It's NOT hidden at the given co-ords and there's no need to go to that location. Instead go to N51° 48.ABC' W000° 35.DBD' by deciphering the images below...

A.

B.

C.

Method 2 requires either owning, or seeing a particular four 2018 Mk.III AANDs. These trackable 'Caching Pub Signs' series of 10 tags are limited to 50 of each version but many will be set 'into the wild' after the Mega and can easily be found on the Geolympix Stand at the event.
You'll find this cache at:
N51° 48 . [The Rookie Error] [The Unwelcome Audience] [The Ivy]'
W000° 35 . [Under a Rock] [The Unwelcome Audience] [Under a Rock]'

Method 3 requires you to find an image of 2018's AANDs which is on the Winter Geolympix page which, while having no number/letter information on them (edited off) do show slogan/colour combinations which will allow you to work with 2012 and/or 2016 AANDs to calculate the final co-ords for this cache.

Or locate the listing of another cache set for the Winter Geolympix (see Bookmark list) that will help you translate between this series and the original 2012 and 2016 sets, as they share colour/letter/number combinations. It will also allow you to reject some options. Add some logic and you can use the info in Method 2 in combination with the above to locate the final for this cache. Simple!

Note the values for I, K and N in this cache to help you find FTFrenzy cache 10 for a Bird You Must Not Miss! - Please DO NOT remove the stamp or ink pad. Neither is a swap - They make this cache a LetterBox/Hybrid. Thank you!
