Capernwray Diving Centre
A cache by pbowenwalker & cremedecassis
This is the third 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 the lake. From the entry point, the diver will need to swim for 3-4 minutes on a bearing of 170o until reaching an aeroplane. Once at the aeroplane - the diver will need to locate the cockpit. Above the door behind the cockpit are a number of information plates detailing the permissible maximum load for the aircraft. The diver will need to record the maximum load (this is given in lb and Kg) for both bulkheads (172F and 191F). These numbers will then be substituted into the coordinates to find the surface cache box.
The numbers will look something like xxxxlb - xxxKg
For bulkhead 172F - take the first three numbers of the mass in lb. and reverse their order. (e.g. 4567lb - becomes 654) These are the missing North coordinates.
For bulkhead 191F - take the first number of the mass in lb. This is the final West coordinate.
N54o 8.xxx W 002o 43.48x
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 one-off registration charge of £15 to join the dive centre and an additional charge of £14 to dive at the site on the day.
Many thanks to the staff for permission to set-up this cache at Capernwray.
