Geocache Description:


This multi cache is located near to Five Marys, which is a tumuli, otherwise known as barrows or burial mounds that date from the late bronze age. ( 1620-700 BC ) They were used to bury the rich or important people of their time.
There are actually six barrows on the site of Five Marys, amongst them are three bell barrows and one pond barrow, that overlook the Dorset village of East Chaldon.
This is one of many tumuli, that lies along the spine of the Dorset coastline.

The above co-ordinates are for parking, for 3/4 cars, where you will need to find a stone signpost and collect information from both sides of the stone.

The terrain is uneven in places, and can be very muddy in the winter, there are a couple of gates along the route to the cache.

Five Marys can be accessed from the A352 that runs from Wool to Owermoigne,look out for signs for The Sailors Return public house that will also direct you to East Chaldon.

You are looking for a 3 litre tupperware container, that when placed had a FTF prize, logbook, pencil and goodies, please trade fairly if you wish to swap.

The following information is what you need to collect from the stone signpost, remember to use both sides of the signpost!

How many number ones appear on the stone =A

How many blue arrows appear on the stone = B

How many number fours appear on the stone = C

The letter F appears how many times on the stone = D

The location of the cache is
N 50 39,A (B+2) (C+A)
W002 17.D (A+B+C) (B+C+D)

The checksum answer is 60.
Good luck!

Congratulations to S+B on a FTF !!
