Geocache Description:

An offset small cache starting from Plymouth's woolly rhino!

This cache has been placed to celebrate our 100th find.

The cache is now a small container which replaces a muggled red oxide nano cache.

The above coordinates are for the Plymouth Woolly Rhino and the ‘Primeval Plymouth’ ode.

Answer the following questions, by reading the ode, to take you to the final cache destination at:-

N50 22.AB(C+2)

W004 06.DE(F-2)

i) How many tongues proclaimed Primeval Lore? = DAAA.
ii) How many times does the word ‘THE’ appear on the entire stone? = B.
iii) How many individual pieces of verse are there (each verse is separated by a vertical line or a full stop.)? = 1C.
iv) How many times does the letter ‘E’ appear in the last 5 lines? = 2F.
v) How many times does the letter ‘L’ appear in the last 5 lines? = Y.
vi) How many times does the letter ‘K’ appear on the entire stone? = X.

E = X-Y.

Take care around both sites. The roads are VERY BUSY. Watch out for trains at the cache site.

The obvious route to the cache, up the drive, is actually a private drive. Please do not use this route.

The best route to the cache site starts from the recommended parking.
