Oldway
Mansion was built in 1874 by
Isaac Merritt
Singer (of sewing machine fame) supposedly modelled on the
Palace of Versailles. It is now used by the Torbay Council for a
variety of purposes. To learn more about the building checkout

- this page does have one error in that it says there are 60 free
parking spaces at Oldway
- there isn't! - Use the
suggested parking and walk up the side drive to the mansion.
The listing coordinates are for the first stage of the cache.
This Multi-cache should give you a short tour of the grounds
leading to a final cache, small click-n-lock style box, in a quiet
corner of the grounds.
On leaving the parking location, start counting squirrels
seen.
- Stage 1 - N50 26.593 W003 34.057 - When was the building

- Stage 2 - N50 26.566 W003 34.053 - What is the Maximum

used in the grotto? F
- Stage 4 - N50 26.555 W003 34.029 - How many sides to the metal

- Final cache is at N 50 26.(E) (D-A) (C) W
003 33.(G+A) (E+A) (F)
The sum of all the digits in the final coordinates should be 52.
Why count the squirrels? ... If anyone asks what you're doing,
you can say you are conducting a squirrel census. :-)
Please give the number when you log your find (or DNF) on
GC.com.
Please note that the cache is now on the other side of the
tree to the position indicated on the spoiler pic.
