The co-ordinates above are for the suggested parking area, a good
staging point for many walks and caches in the area, and also a
good place for a brew and a butty on a Sunday morning! The
co-ordinates of the actual cache are found by completing the
following general knowledge quiz. The answers to which can be
easily found on the internet – unless of course you know them
already............... smarty-pants! North AB° CD.EFG West H°
IJ.KLM AB = the 16th prime number CD = the race number of Moto GP
rider Marco Melandri E = the UK Television station launched on 30th
March 1997 FG = the number of canaries stolen from a Hampshire home
in September 2009 HIJK = the year in which Santa Marta (Columbia's
first city) was founded on July 29th LM = the popular name of the
military base in Nevada USA, famous for housing crashed UFO's
– ‘Area ##’
You can check your answers for this puzzle on
Geochecker.com.
(don't worry if you don't get an exact match.. conflicting news
reports may give you a +/- 1 result for FG, but obviously this
isn't really an issue.)
Getting to the cache site from the suggested parking area will
take you a short way along the Kirklees way, and is a gentle walk
suitable for you to take kids & dogs (but can get a little
muddy in places). Please take care when you leave the path to get
the cache, as there is a flattened barbed wire fence nearby.
