roobi: Unfortunately, the cache has been taken.
We have replaced other caches in this park, only to have them disappear within a week, so sadly we don't think it is worth replacing the cache.

Geocache Description:

Located in Spa Park, a 20 minute walk from the car park (published coordinates) leading to a cache in the same area.

A three waypoint multi cache with the final located in a dormant geothermal area. Please be carefull when approaching the final cache location as the ground is soft and there are many old holes from when this area was active. The cache is an ammo container, please re-hide well.

The published coordinates are for the first Waypoint. At this waypoint you will find a place to park your car and a sign. There are 17 numerical digits on the sign, and you need to work out the coordinates for Waypoint 2 by replacing the letters A,B,C,X,Y,Z with the appropriate digit. Count from top to bottom and left to right (i.e. normal reading order).

Waypoint 2: S38 40.ABC E176 05.XYZ where;

A = 11th digit, B=5th digit, C = 15th digit.
X = 6th digit minus 1, Y = 3rd digit, Z = last digit

Waypoint 3: S38 40.ABC E176 05.XYZ where;
sABC and eXYZ can be found near waypoint 2.
