Geocache Description:

You will need to visit the uninhabited island of Samson, the 6th largest of the Isles of Scilly, to find this geocache, BUT THE CACHE BOX IS NOT HIDDEN THERE! - it's back on St Mary's; the main island.

At the given location find a phone number for "F.W." 01ABC DE17DE. It may not be obvious; look around!

The cache is hidden at N49 5C.A((B+C)-D)(A+B) W006 1D.(D+E)(B-E)(C+E) which is back on St Mary's.

Good luck & happy hunting!

With thinks to both Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust for their permission to place this cache and geocacher Pljg, who is its local guardian. NOTE, IoSWT will not give permission for a physical cache on Samson due to its SSSI and SAM status. However, virtual waypoints - such as this cache's - are ok.
