Geocache Description:


This is Zimbabwe’s first ever Letterbox Hybrid cache, placed specifically to help geocachers find and log an additional cache type in Zimbabwe. This cache will also be helpful for all those trying to qualify for the many different fun and interesting Challenge Caches that require a cacher to find as many cache types as possible is different countries.

The cache is NOT at the posted co-ordinates, which will take you to the Post Box outside of the Victoria Falls Post Office. On the front of the Post Box is a notice with eight lines. Use this notice to work out the final co-ordinates for the cache which is at S17 55.ABC E025 49.DEF

The number of words from the cache title that appear on the notice = A
The total number of 4, 6, 7 & 8 letter words minus the total number of 2 & 3 letters words = B
The number of times the 18th letter of the alphabet appears on the notice = C
The total number of vowels in the 2nd & 7th lines minus the number of vowels in the 8th line = D
The number of letters in the 1st line minus the number of letters in the 2nd line = E
The total number of letters in the 2nd word of each line minus the total number of letters in the 1st & 4th word (where it occurs) of each line = X. The number of lines that contain X letters = F

Checksum = 54

The cache is a short drive or a 20 minute walk away.  NB - PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE STAMP FROM THE CONTAINER.
