Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the above coords - they are for a convenient parking place. NOT in the deep hole or quarry area around it. Cache is not your usual micro container.

Micro-sized cache at the side of an old Roman Road. You do not need to go into any of the old quarries in the area.

The path to this cache will take you along an old Roman Road. After The Romans conquered Britain, the Romans built a road to 'Olicana' (Ilkley) which runs parallel to the Cullingworth - Guide Inn road that is used today.

Solve this puzzle to work out the coordinates.

CACHE is 200, GEOCOIN is 101, TB is 0 and TRAVEL BUG is 55. Work out what CAIRN equals - and then substitute into the formula below:

N53 50.(CAIRN + 804) W01 53.(685 - CAIRN)

Special FTF prize next to cache.

Please bring your own pencil.
