This is an unknown length multi part cache with a 1L container at the end.
This is an unknown length multi part cache...
At each location you will find a telegraph pole. Each pole has an identification plaque on it of the form SU0ABCD.
You will need to use the last digit from the number on the pole as the first column from the table below to calculate the location for your next pole...
Because the cache is of unknown length, you may need to use a row from the table more than once, or you might not even use all the rows... you will just have to wait and see.
The total distance you will travel is about 2km. It is best suited to be done in a car or on a bike, but walking will suffice.
All poles except the last one can be found without leaving the road!

So for the pole in the background image (SU00556) A=0, B=5, C=5, D=6...
we take row 6 of the table
| 6 |
1.012 |
+ 0.DBA |
2.590 |
+ 0.ABC |
Lat => 1.012 + 0.650 => 34º 1.662
Long => 2.590 + 0.055 => 151º 2.645
