The first thing to note is that the co-ordinates above are no help
to you at all!
To find this cache you must first solve the four Vectis Photo
Nano Caches (N, S, E, W), from each you should have recorded a
single digit number.
Substituting the relevant number in the formula below will give you
the co-ordinates of the roadside parking at the start point of the
Vectis Photo Finale cache:
N 50 (W - N) (E + 1) . (E) (N) (S) W 001
(N) (E) . (W-N) (W) (S-W)
You may need the (N ,S, E, W) numbers again - so don't lose
them.
You can check you have worked out the correct start point for
this cache using
Geochecker.com.
From the start point you need to walk your way around to all the
secret photo locations, (a walk of about 3 miles), with some
fantastic views.
At each you will find both the co-ordinates of the next photo and,
at some, another number to use in the final puzzle, (see details
below for each photo).
Photo location 1
Find the object shown in the photo and identify the numbers that
have been replaced by the letters A - J. Use the appropriate
numbers in the formula below to work out the coordinates of Photo
Location 2:
N 50 J B . F (2A) C W 001 A D . (2A) H
G
Photo location 2
Find the object shown in the photo and search on or around it to
find the coordinates of Photo Location 3.
Also make a note of digit K for use later
(N 50 ? ? . ? ? ? W 001 ? ? . ? K ?)
Photo location 3
Find the object shown in the photo and search on or around it to
find the coordinates of Photo Location 4.
Also make a note of digit L for use later
(N 50 ? ? . L ? ? W 001 ? ? . ? ? ?)
Photo location 4
Find the object shown in the photo and search on or around it to
find the coordinates of Photo Location 5.
Also make a note of digit M for use later
(N 50 ? ? . ? ? ? W 001 ? ? . M ? ?)
Photo location 5
Find the object shown in the photo and search on or around it to
find the coordinates of Photo Location 6.
Also make a note of digit P for use later
(N 50 ? ? . ? ? ? W 001 ? ? . ? P ?)
Photo location 6.
Find the object shown in the photo and search on or around it to
find the coordinates of Photo Location 7.
Photo location 7
Find the object shown in the photo and search on or around it to
find the coordinates of the final clue.
To get to the final location take the footpath down the field side
next to the hedge.
At the final location you are searching for a formula in which to
use all your saved numbers to calculate the final cache
coordinates.
There may be problems with GPS reception there but you should be
able to get a good bearing from clearings not too far away, and
then look in the obvious place.
When you find the cache location, please do not remove the outer
cache container from its hiding place, open the outer container in
situ and remove the inner cache container.
Please ensure you conceal it when you leave, this can be a
surprisingly busy area.
