This is the second in a series of 5 underwater caches in the North of England and Wales which will require a qualified scuba-diver's help to complete. (You may also be interested in the "Narcosis:the fun continues" series which extends this series further). We have created these caches so that one part is underwater and one part is land-based. We have done this so that every member of the caching team - divers and non-divers alike can participate in the hunt.
Good luck; and remember
"Plan the dive and Dive the Plan"
The coordinates given are for the entry point into Eccleston Delph ("The Delph") lake. Once in the water, the diver will need to swim following a bearing of 230o fo 3-4 minutes until they arrive at a tank (or armoured vehicle). (You will know you are heading in the right direction if you swim over a small speed boat!). At the front of the armoured vehicle there is a warning sign bolted onto the vehicle.
When you find the metal plate (Part 1 of the cache) - you will need to record the first word on the sign. Back on the surface - use the 4th letter (= X), the 2nd letter (= Y) , the 1st letter (= Z) of the word you have found. Substitute the key letters in the word to their equivalent numbers in the alphabet (for example if the first letter in the word was C, then substitute 3 into the coordinates below). These numbers complete the coordinates for the actual logbook cache (Part 2).
N53o 37.XYZ W 002o 43.X28
When you log your find online - please state in your log whether you were a diver or non-diver.
Photos and slightly extended logs would be very welcome.
Please be aware there is a registration charge of £10 and an additional charge of £10 to dive at the site on the day.
Many thanks to John for permission to set-up this cache at "The Delph".
