Weird Dog Door Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

wisewol: Couldn't find a suitable hiding place in the immediate area when this cache used to be. It can be very busy with muggles here, so decided to archive this cache and put a new cache in the park (using the old box). See GC1R6A9 'Dorridge Dawdle'.

How Geocaching Works

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

Geocache Description:

The above co-ordinates take you to Packwood House, a 16th Century Manor House. Do visit it (National Trust) or just drive through the grounds for free (look out for the sundials). The cache is not here, however, although you will be within a few miles of it.

To find this my first cache, you need to solve a little puzzle.

A 3 digit number, ABC, has a 6 digit square, DEFGHI, such that all the digits A to I are different, and none of them is a 0. The cache is at:

N52 2(F-D).(C+G-D)EB, W001 45.(A+H-F)HI

There is more than one answer, but only one answer gives a sensible cache location.

There is parking available about 0.15 mile due West of the cache, but only during the day. Other parking is available with a slightly longer walk. Please use the footpaths - there is one that takes you to within 20 feet North of the cache, and avoid damaging the area surrounding the cache. Reception at the cache is not too good - the co-ordinates are an average of about a dozen visits. You are looking for a 1.1L cylindrical container. Please replace it as you find it, lid uppermost, but watch out, there may be lots of muggles about.
