Geocache Description:

A mainly mental challenge/puzzle leading to the cache

My first attempt at placing a Geocache!

The above location is NOT the location of the cache. It's not far but in order to find the exact position you'll need to solve the following clues and use the secondary locations to lead you to your final goal :)

An ancient Greek philosopger did once proclaim,
search the map for a hill that rhymes with my name.		 4671 81164
So Crusoe stranded but at least not in jail,
it's local twin peaks are very telltale.		 5592 929554
Fife's favorite sport finds two together,
but you seek betwixt an imaginary tether.		 1398 645416
On their own these clues are just wrangles,
but taken together they form blue triangles.		  
You've got this far with a challenging cache,
but all you need now is a little geometric math.		  
Now this peculiar riddle sounds rather disjoint,
thats 'cause you need to add three decimal point!		  
Notes:
  • The above clues should lead you on a virtual trail to find locations you need to complete the puzzel. You don't have to physically visit these locations indicated by the clues.
  • You'll need a pen and paper, calculator, OS Explorer Map 370 and of course your trusty GPS unit.
  • You may also need a little lateral thinking to solve the clues :)
  • The cache location is not in a busy area but it is occasionally used by dog walkers.
The cache is an opaque 35mm film canister. Inside you'll find a piece of paper with a word written on it. Please remove that piece of paper from the cache and replace it with a new word, of your choosing, written on the paper you brought with you. The word you leave will be for the next person to find.

There's also a logbook in the form of a "scroll" of sheeted blank paper. Please make an entry on the scroll/logbook as per normal. Then please also report your visit here and add a log entry to this cache and please don't forget to include the word you found in in the cache!

Happy hunting!

Update:This cache appears to have been remove by persons unknown. Don't bother trying to locate it until I have a chance to replace it.
