Geocache Description:


This is a puzzle, so the cache is not at the published coordinates.

For the cache location you need to solve the following Slitherlink. This is a smaller/easier puzzle and when you get a tick from the geocheck you will be rewarded with a hint for "Slither". 
In a Slitherlink Puzzle, you connect horizontally or vertically adjacent dots to form a meandering path that forms a single loop, without crossing itself, or branching. The numbers indicate how many lines surround each cell. Empty cells may be surrounded by any number of lines (from 0 to 3). There is one unique solution, and you should be able to find it without guessing. You may find it helpful to make small x's between dots that cannot be connected.

In the puzzle below there are 6 letters added, A-F. Each of these letters is equal to the number of lines surrounding it (from 0 to 3).


The final location is;
S41 10.UVW
E173 0B.XYZ

where,
U=B*F-(A+C)
V=A*E-C
W=C*D
X=A*E*C
Y=B*(D-F)
Z=E*F

There is space for trackables and you will need to bring your own pen. Enjoy.

Remember to check your solution and record the hint for "Slither"
