Geocache Description:

Theme for the cache is Do It Yourself.
The park is only open on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays and there is no entrance fee. You just need to sign in at the gate.


Refer to MECA GCPY8F for more details about the Park.

It is a nice quiet Saturday morning and “someone” wants you to do a couple of things in and around the house: “Remember, you promised that you will………”
So you slip the GPSr into your pocket, rummage around a bit in your toolbox and solemnly declare that you’ll need to get some stuff at the hardware store.
And off you go ……

The given co-ordinates are for the entrance to the “hardware store” and not for the cache itself!
The cache co-ordinates are:
S26° 45.XXX E027° 49.YYY

At the entrance you will need to determine how many species of game is listed on the sign.(S26º 46.592 E27º 50.290)
Multiply this number (14) by
47 then add 5 to determine the value of “XXX”.
While at the gate you might just as well count the number of uprights, including the frames, the gates consist of as you require this to determine your longitude.
Multiply the number of uprights (left hand gate) (12) with the number of uprights (right hand gate) (12) and then add the answer to
580 to determine the value of “YYY”.

All given co-ordinates are in WGS84 format.
