Geocache Description:

This is a hike from a bus stop to the nice beach at Anse Georgette on the island Praslin, Seychelles. The cache is hidden close to the trail.

Officially, the beach at Anse Georgette can only be reached by boat. Nevertheless, it is not forbidden to walk there, but depending on the weather and the visibility of the path this can take 2-3 hours. Take enough water with you, also for your way back, since there are neither shops nor cafés at the beach. You can reach the beach (waypoint 9) just by following the waypoints listed below. The first waypoint is very close to the final bus station ( click here for time table) at ‘Mount Plaisir’.

For finding the cache, however, you need to answer the questions listed for the waypoints 1-5, which will associate the letters A-E with the correct numbers. The painting below is a mosaic of all necessary stages.... unfortunately the most important parts have been forgotten, so there is no other way for you than visiting the original sites. Nevertheless the painting surely is helpful.

The coordinates of the cache are then calculated as follows (each pair of brackets encloses one digit):

S 04° 1(2*B+1).(A+2*C-3)(D-1)(B+E-4)

E 055° 4(A-C).(D*E)(3*A-C*D)(2*E-1)

Waypoint No.	S	E	Question	Answer =
1	S 04°18.231	E 055°41.386	There are a number of holes in the wall, but only one is shown in the painting. How many holes are missing?	A
2	S 04°18.215	E 055°41.382	Looking to the north, you see a big stone with a tree next to it. Which letter is formed by the tree? T=1, O=2, Y=3, S=4	B
3	S 04°18.165	E 055°41.336	Here you find a configuration of four stones. Looking above them as in the painting, you find a number of huge rocks in the sea, just next to an island. How many?	C
4	S 04°18.067	E 055°41.308	Here you find two letters and a three digit number engraved in a stone on the ground. What is the sum of the two digits missing in the painting?	D
5	S 04°18.018	E 055°41.296	From a huge, flat rock you have a nice view over a huge letter which the planes use for starting and landing. Which letter is it? Y=1, T=2, P=3, L=4	E
6	S 04°17.844	E 055°41.265	To stay on the right path, you should pass this waypoint. No further questions.
7	S 04°17.767	E 055°41.209	One more waypoint…
8	S 04°17.640	E 055°41.015	… and another one …
9	S 04°17.682	E 055°40.863	… and here is your beach. We hope, that you came across the cache somewhere on your way.
