Geocache Description:


The posted coordinates are bogus – do not go there!

The hunt starts from the electric post just north of the meeting place of two well known composers. From here you measure off a series of distances, in directions either true North, South, East or West, until you arriving at some wording to note.

After each leg, you must change direction by 90 degrees.

You may not cross private property and the correct route is not significantly obstructed apart from trees, fences etc, although the terrain is steep in places. There is only one viable route.

The point to point distances, in order, are 120, 170, 320, 480, 1050, 460, 960 and 827 metres, a total of about 4.4km.

Finally use the lettering to establish the decimal minutes of the cache – the major coordinates are the same as for the signage.

South: (P1 x P8) + P6

East : (P3 x P3 x P7) + (P4 x P7) + P8

The numbers above represent the Position count of the letters which are to be converted to their ordinal alphabetic values.

Cache is a 250ml camo'd plastic jar with logbook & pencil
