Thanks Griff

I am already a member of the Cotswold cachers forum and have been following their recent posts. Unfortunately I keep missing events.

Well most of the time when I go caching I tend to really enjoy myself. However there was the one series which I found particularly difficult on that front, I wanted to go for a shortish walk somewhere a few miles from home so having decoded the 'A series for your torment' caches off I went. Unfortunatly I seemed to have picked the worse time for a walk and it seemed that every single muggle dog walker plus lots of families were out walking. Practically every 200 yards and there was another group of people, which led to some difficult searching as I don't like waiting around for people to move! One of them was a crossroads and there were muggles approaching (slowly) from all directions. I came away with a tally of 5 out of 11  . On the good side though its nice to see people getting out in the fresh air for a walk.

Hello

I am new to this forum but have been geocaching since 2011 mostly on my own as I don't know many people who like long hikes in remote places coupled to geocaching. I am currently looking at the Below Above series of caches starting with the Ugly Duckling, I have a small group of who are mixture of cavers and non-cavers who are up for coming along plus I have a guide of the relevant quarry.

 I am having a few problems trying to decipher the code for the route. I have tried the Caesar cipher and Playfair cipher separately and also tried rotating 1st with the Caesar and applying the Playfair as I think it is double scrambled. I have tried a few different keys as well but nothing is coming up trumps. Has anyone got any ideas at all? If I cannot decipher I will probably go underground anyway as its an interesting feature, but it will always be niggling me that there is a cache somewhere close!
