Geocache Description:

This is the the 3rd cache in the series of alphabet caches. The purpose of this cache is to eventually create a series of caches from A to Z. The next cache in the series is Alphabet D - Donna E Mobile (GCKZAM) by Hessut.

To find this cache you need to visit the cache Alphabet B - Bubbling Bath (GCKWK8) first. There you can find the values A and B.

This cache is hidden at:
N 60° (A - 7.25*B)'
E 024° (5*A - 11.195*B + 0.035)'

The tiny correction at the end of longitude is a result of small relocation of cache in August 2020. The original coordinates may be useful somewhere...

To guarantee the continuity of the series, the following rules apply:

  • The first finder of this cache must place a cache corresponding to the next letter in the alphabet within two weeks from the find. The cache must also be named like "Alphabet ? - ?...", where ? is the next letter and ?... is any name beginning with that letter.
  • The next cache must be placed within the capital city region. That is, within the limits of Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa or Kauniainen.
  • The cache description must be constructed so that the cache can only be found by finding the previous alphabet cache. The preferred way is to write the final coordinates of the cache into the log book of the previous cache.
  • These rules must apply also to the rest of the caches. Please copy these rules to the description.

Please don't rush yourself to be the first finder if you can't quickly put up the next cache. There are plenty of geocachers in the capital region who can.
