Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the above co-ordinates but is within a few miles. The above co-ordinates are for the very beautiful Church at Blisland. The walk to the cache is potentially very exposed and appropriate clothing/footwear should be worn.


This is a small clip lock box type cache, containing a log book and pen and a few trading items oh and a whole £1 coin for FTF.

The cache is hidden in an interesting, sheltered, yet potentially dangerous location - there is a death inducing fall in the cache area - Be careful - You have been warned - Extreme Care needs to be taken and appropriate safety measures taken. Certainly don't do this alone. You may need equipment you'd not normally carry, but nothing very specialist. A large sized pack of fishy cat treats may prove useful.

The cache is a fair walk from any parking space.

 

To work out where the cache is hidden. There's a simple(?) Birdman type puzzle...

 

If

Redruth = 2

And

Endellion = 3

Then

Cornwall = ABCD
Liskeard = EFGHJK
Lizard = LMNP
Botallack = QR

and once you have that - the cache is at:

 

50 ER.HNK 00D FG.L(P+1)(N+M)

 

I should mention that the coordinates that you will calculate were from an average of 1000 readings - yep honestly 1000 readings, I wanted these to be accurate - BUT- they're not, I'm guessing they must be 80 to 100 feet out, sorry about that, all adds to the fun eh?
