Geocache Description:

This cache brings you to the Port/Lurganboy beach, argueably the finest stretch of beach in Co Louth

Port Luganboy blue flag beach is located a few short miles north of the fishing village of Clogherhead. It is a remote rural beach with wide sandy shores and a wide range of flora and fauna including the Marsh Orchid.

The beach is fronted by a mature dune area which is perfect for picnics, and offers plenty of playspace for children. The sea is cool and clear offering ample opportunities for bathing. The views are stunning and on a clear day you can see the Mourne mountains.

The cache
this should be a straightforward multi involving some very simple sums and a short walk along this beautiful stretch of coastline.
The given coordinates bring you to the carpark/picnic area. Here you will need the following information

the number of dedicated disabled parking places beside the toilet (clearly marked) Call this A
the number of bins grouped together in the carpark. Call this B
The number of flagpoles in the picnic area. Call this C
The cache is at
N53.50.C(A+B+C)(10-A) W006.15.(3-A)((Bx2)-A)(A+B)
You should find this is a walk of about 1.3km from the carpark. The cache is a small tupperware container, please byop
This area is very popular so please replace the cache with care so it's location is not discovered by muggles. I've placed it a reasonable distance up the beach so hopefully it'll be somewhat quieter there than near the carpark.

this was once part of a series called louth beaches, that series is now defunct and the bonus cache is now archived so please ignore the code contained in the cache
