Geocache Description:

A coded cache with an intermediate waypoint.

Our very first hide - spurred on by reaching our 100th find.

The co-ords given are for parking but the cache is quite nearby.

1. To find the clue to the final co-ords please first de-code this:

North 52°J.XRA
West 0°E x (T+F).(W x M) - Z

North 52° being either KLOQX AE° OR KLOQX (J x R)°

2. At these co-ords you will find something with the UK Patent Ap. No. 2361500 so obviously these are NOT the numbers you need. Being careful of the traffic look at the something and on it is a person’s name. Putting the letters of that name back into the code from 1. above you will obtain 11 numbers - add these together to get ???

Also on the something is its British Standard Kitemark - add the digits of this together to get !! Use these two numbers and a few letters from 1. to solve:

3. Cache Co-ordinates

North 52° 13. [(??? x R) + (!! x F) + D +L]

West 0° 56. [(??? x E) + (!! x K) +R]

The area this leads you to has been “improved” as part of the agreement to gain permission to develop the huge Estate behind the ground. Nevertheless it is a very nice area and well maintained. There is a circular walk around the playing fields and it is a walk we often use for walking our next door’s dog Bonnie - we have a travel bug Bonzo in her honour.

There is a certificate in the cache for the First to Find.

IMPORTANT : PLEASE return the cache EXACTLY as you found it.
