Navigation at night

The posted coordinates are for the first reflector. There is a parking lot where you can leave your car at N 43° 29.990 W 079° 59.909 when searching for this cache.

THERE IS NO CACHE AT THE POSTED COORDINATES

The longest part in any navigation exercise is usually also the easiest. Getting to within sight of the destination. In this case, the starting point is the parking lot provided above and in the additional waypoints. The posted coordinates have brought you to where the search begins. From the parking the cache is near a point 1000 metres away, on a bearing of 046 degrees magnetic. Don't worry too much about finding a way to get there, there's a nice wide trail that will take you to the spot without wandering too much.

As you walk along the trail, you will eventually reach two reflectors mounted near the trail. One is at about eye level, the second somewhat higher up on a tree further down the trail. When you find the reflectors, STOP. It's time to start the final navigating.

The reflectors form a system that boaters commonly refer to as "Range Lights" or "Leading Lights". These lights indicate a precise path, or line that you must follow. If the upper marker is to the left of the lower marker, then you are to the left of the correct line. If the upper marker is to the right of the lower marker, then you are right of the correct line.

At this point, you will need to move until you are on the line indicated by the markers.

Next, look around for another set of reflectors that make up a second set of range lights. You may have to walk along the line indicated by the first set of markers, as the second set can only be seen from a narrow section of the trail

The cache is located at the point where the two lines marked by the reflectors intersect.
