Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

This is a short Multi Cache in Stoke which involves a five minute walk between coordinates. You do not need to enter private property at any time.

This small cache contains a log book, pencil & sharpener.

Answer the questions below to work out the final coordinates:

A = How many letters are there on one of the pillars?
B = How many different letters are there in the word?
C = How many b's are there on all of the pillars?
D = How many sides are there on all of the pillars?

Okay, well done. Now work out the coordinates for the cache site:

S 41° (B + D). (A - 4) (D + 13)
E 173° (D + C). (C) (B x 11 + 1)

[Check sum: A + B + C + D = 31]

As you approach the final coordinates, look up and think about the hint. The easiest approach is from the far right as you're looking at the object in the hint, due to lots of triffid-like prickly plants. Please replace the cache carefully and cover your tracks, so that the next geocacher can't see where you have been. Thanks.
