Google Sheep View 3 - Ebony & Ivory
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
The above coordinates do not take you directly to the cache but onto the right road and to a parking spot for your final approach. The puzzle part of the cache is a short virtual drive further up the road using Google Street View to find a location marked by sheep (stage 1), and from there it's a simple offset. Stage 2, the final, is not far but off road and you'll need to bring a map that shows public footpaths.
Now for stage 1, follow the road uphill in Street View (if you haven't used it before: go into Google Maps and drag the little orange man onto the road). You should soon see some sheep coming into view that inspired the cache title. The gate into their field marks stage 1.
The final is 370m and 82º from stage 1, located on a public footpath. You can make this into a circular walk by continuing up the road to join a footpath just before you get to the next farm. We have also placed another cache nearby to which you can detour from this loop. At the final you are looking for a small tube (sorry just pencil and paper no goodies).
Happy hunting!
