This is a somewhere to have a view, a short walk, a search and the chance to reflect upon a tragic event.
The co-ordinates are for a layby. Take a moment to read the plaque in the wall opposite the east end. You will need pen(cil) and paper but should not need a calculator. Write down your age in years. If the number is even, halve it; if it is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1. Repeat this exercise as many times as necessary until you reach 1 - you will if you've done your sums right! The final numbers are ? A B and 1. A+B=C. Do the same exercise starting with your height in inches (showing my age now) but this time add 1 to the two penultimate numbers to give D and E. D+E=F. The cache is hidden at: N 54 55.(C+E)(D-B)(F-D-E) W 001 58.(B+E)(F-D)(A+D) Keep your pen(cil) and you might find tweezers helpful.
