During a late night visit to the area, we located what we thought was the perfect location for a cache but unfortunately it was too close to the other nearby caches. Determined to draw cachers to this spot, we decided on an easy puzzle so you too could enjoy the view from WP1 so we recommend you complete this at night to enjoy the effects of the lighting

WP1 brings you to the viewing platform where you will have a view of the "Blue Grotto" as seen in the photo above, and here you will need to do some easy maths in order to find the coordinates to the nearby final.

A = the number of leaf shaped holes on one side of the rectanglar black lamps (yes - they light up at night time) when looking towards the lake plus 522

B = the number of rectangular black lamp stands (total number even if not lit) around the edges of the lookout plus 405

The final cache is micro size with no room for a pen or swaps and it can be found at;
S 36 43.A
E 174 42.B

Check sum of A = 16 & B = 7
