How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

This is a Multicache with 8 Waypoints, to progress you need to find the numbers representative of 7 letters, which are, A-G.

This multi requires you to solve encrypted co-ordinates that get progressively more complicated as you go. Have fun!

Please log you're total trip time (be honest), I'd be interested to see how long this one takes people. I've set the "Takes longer than an hour" icon, consider it a challenge for anyone to break the one hour mark.

Use this table for the answers A-G as you will use them throughout the journey and they don't change:

A=_____ B=_____

C=_____ D=_____

E=_____ F=_____

G=_____
