Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This is a relatively easy cache, which we hope will be suitable for children, of ALL ages!
It is all based within a small area of approx. 400Mtrs, with hard paths and a good car park adjacent to Ashton Court Mansion House (£1.00)
Buggies and wheelchairs may get close, but possibly not to the locations, depending on the weather/ground condition. There is a cafe, information & gift shop, and clean toilets, suitable for disabled access.
There are three locations to visit before you get the final co-ordinates for the cache itself.
This should take no more than an hour to complete.
1. LET'S GO FLY A KITE
The start co-ordinates will take you to an area where you will find a MOSAIC laid into the grass. Within the Mosaic, you will see two sets of 10 numbers, one above the other. In order to get your next co-ordinates, the top row will give you your 'N' co-ordinates, and the lower row your 'W' co-ordinates. Write the numbers you see underneath the letters below:-
If you label the top row: A B C D E F G H J K
and the lower row: L M N P R S T U W X
The next co-ordinates you require are:
N (A-H)(C-B)° (J-G)(K+J-G) . (A-H)(E-A)(C-K)
W (N-N)(X-X)(U-S)° (R-M)(S+U+W) . (R-N)(P-W)(W+L-M)
2. PET'S CORNER
Here you will see several stones with dates on. Use these dates to complete your next set of co-ordinates below:
A = TAM died in 193?
B = GLORY was born in 192?
C = MATHEW died in 194?
D = GLORY died in 19?4
E = F-(C+D)
F = SATIN was born in 18?2
N 51° 26. A B C
W002° 38. D E F
Using these new co-ordinates, move on to:
3. HELLO ROSE, MY PETAL
In here you must find the words:
'SIT AND REMEMBER THE HAPPY TIMES'
Under this you will see:
Ralph W Drake
ABCD - CDDE
Ilona Drake
ABCF - CDDG
To get to your final destination, use the formula below:
Minutes from (Hello Rose, my Petal)
Seconds from (Lets go fly a kite)
N 51° C(E-A). XHW
Minutes from (Hello Rose, my Petal)
Seconds from (Pet's corner)
W002° FG. (A-C)(A+D)(B+E)
THE CACHE
At last, you have hopefully arrived at your destination.
PLEASE BE CAREFULL WHEN TAKING AND REPLACING THIS CACHE, TO AVOID BEING SEEN AND IT BEING MUGGLED AGAIN. MANY THANKS, AND HAPPY GEOCACHING....
You are looking for a small camouflaged 35mm plastic film container. PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN PEN!
The container when placed contains: A Log book, pencil, and a few other little items.
For the FTF there is an unregistered BobUK Pathtag.
This is our first cache, and we would welcome feedback as to construction, location etc.
