Stern Bird (Canterbury) Mystery Cache
GYARGH: time to let a few go...
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
At the given co-ords you will find a stern looking bird. This cache requires a short walk past some interesting sculptures and a little math. Easy Peasy!
This stern bird seems to be watching over the nearby park. Bring the mini-cachers! There is a gated playground for the wee ones, a bigger playground for the bigger ones and lots of grass to run on for the geo-woofers. Please be mindful when retrieving and placing the cache that there can be a high flow of muggles!
Starting at S 43 30.661, E 172 38.763 (the given co-ords); follow the stream down the footpath. Along the way you will see four wooden sculptures. At each sculpture, take note of the street number of the house it sits outside. Bird 1 = A, bird 2 = B, bird 3 = C, bird 4 = D. You do not need to go past S 43 30.657, E 172 38.896
Use the numbers you have gathered to work out the following equations, which gives the location of the cache...
S 43 30. (4A + 8B + 3)
E 172 38. (2C + 4D + 5)
To check you have the right numbers: A + B + C + D = 391
The final is a small round black container. It has a log, very small pencil and sharpener. There is room for traveling coins, but no swaps please :)
