Below Above decryption

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!

I found this cache the other day, as well as some other Below
Above's :) We both enjoyed the day, and I'm eager to find more
:D
Everything you need is on the cache page. The cipher I used,
which worked, is Braingle Keyword Cipher

You may also want to join the Cotswold Caching
HTML http://www.cotswoldcaching.co.uk
where the Below Above cache
owner can give you a hand :) (he's not a member on this forum)
Good luck!

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