Geocache Description:


The coordinates above are not for the cache location, but are of a waypoint on the route to the actual cache site.

To obtain the cache coordinates, you'll need to find the three "legs" that belong to "Stabit". Each one contains a Manx word or phrase, and you can use the translation table (see Three Legs: Quocunque Jeceris Stabit) to derive three numbers from each word or phrase.
The nine numbers thus obtained give the location of this cache;

54° 0A.BCD W 004° EF.GHI.



The three "legs" containing the key words for this cache are;

Three Legs: S1 (A,D,G)
Three Legs: S2 (B,E,H)
Three Legs: S3 (C,F,I).


Use this table to note the collected numbers;

      S1   S2 S3 S1   S2 S3   S1 S2 S3
      A   B C D   E F   G H I
5 0   .           .      

When you sign the log book of this cache, also note the key word or phrase. In similar fashion to the three "legs" you found to derive the cache coordinates, you can use this keyword to derive the location of the final cache in the series: Three Legs: Quocunque Jeceris Stabit.

Although I've tried to hide this mystery cache in an area where you really need the full set of coordinates to guarantee an easy find, please try to avoid giving away hints to the location of this cache in your log and photos.
