The cache is currently inaccessible. However, it can still be seen (the clue will help to identify it from afar) - so cachers who have solved the clues can still claim a find if they send a message with the correct coordinates and include either a description or photo of the cache.
DO NOT INCLUDE THESE IN YOUR LOG!
The original St David's shopping centre opened in 1981, followed by phase 2 in 2009. The clues for this cache are all based in the newer two storey shopping precinct which is often referred to as 'St David's 2'. You will need to look at the pictures and identify the words from which they are taken. The number of letters in each word will allow you to calculate the final coordinates for the cache. There is no need to enter any shops or buy anything in order to find the clues! Many of the clues are on shops - but not all so you will need to look carefully. You will be able to do some of the work at home using previous knowledge and/or Google, but there are some that you will only find by visiting.
Please note that the picture clues for this cache were revised in April 2023. However, the number for each picture clue remains the same, so anyone who has previously solved / partly solved the cache should still be able to complete it without difficulty.
As things change frequently, please contact us if you believe any of the clues to be missing. Happy caching!
The shopping precinct is open from 9.30am - 8pm on weekdays, 9.30am - 7pm on Saturdays and 11am - 5pm on Sundays. The final cache location is available 24 hours a day. There is ample parking in the city centre car parks, but at a cost. The final cache contains only a log book with no room for TB's, sorry. All of the clues are accessible (lifts and escalators available) but wheelchair users may need help to retrieve the cache at its final location.
All of the clues can be found inside the shopping centre. EACH CLUE HAS A SINGLE WORD ANSWER.
Count the number of letters in each clue word and then use the following formula to calculate the final coordinates.
N 51° 28.STU W 003° 10.VWX
S = (B+D+E+H)/4 T = (A+C+F+I)/5 U = (L+N)/10
V = (M+P+Q)/8 W = (G+J+K+O)/4 X = (P+Q+R)/5
The cache is a micro hidden in plain sight and will need extreme stealth when retrieving. Please return it carefully (and exactly as found) to avoid it being muggled. Happy caching!
