Geocache Description:

This cache is part of a series of 3 caches which starts in a very rugged and exposed part of the eastern coastline.
To find this cache you need to get some information from Dashed against the rocks

The cache originally was our entry to the “Dash for Cache '05” game and was supposed to be difficult to find, however due to the final WPT being removed a couple of times and the difficulty that some cachers have had with the calculations, we have decided to make it a little easier.
Hopefully at this location the “inhabitants” will be either fishing, not there at all or, depending on the time of day, taking a siesta. If they are there and active, then you will need to use your powers of deception to casually search for this semi well hidden cache. Once uncovered you will have the co-ordinates for the final location of the cache which is not too far away.

Please note the following adjustment to the formula to obtain the co-ords for "With a Dash of Lime" which had to be moved due to the closure of part of the track where the cache was placed.
After you calculate the co-ords as per the formula given, to the South decimals add .015 and to the East decimals add .005
There is a Solution Checker on the "With a Dash of Lime" cache page.
