Geocache Description:

Welcome to The University of Groundspeak

The University of Groundspeak is offering a new degree here in Auckland!
A BSc in Geocaching!
A BSc in Geocaching will equip you for the world of caching out there.


Points: 15
Prerequisites: Geocaching 101
Credit: Run/Walk = 70% Final Cache = 30%
Equipment Required: GPSr, and possible a print out of the run trail.

We all had compulsory PE in intermediate, and the Geocaching degree is no exception! We were watched by the teachers to make sure we ran, and got detention if we stopped... This course is not that strict. As long as you complete the short trail, however that may be, you will be rewarded with a camod pill container cache. GPS signal may be a bit jumpy at the final spot though.
Please hide back where found, out of plain sight, and watche out for mozzies!
Good Luck!


Run Circuit


Text Version:
Start at S 36 52.781 E 174 44.309
A = How many attributes is the park given on the sign?

Add (14A-1) to the south coordinate, and subtract (11A-1) to the east.
B = The last digit of the fax number

Subtract 3B from the south coordinate, add 4.75B to the east
C = How many words are there in the grey area?

Subtract 53C from the south coordinate, and add 72C to the east.

E = How many concrete steps are there?

FINAL: Subtract (E+4) from the south, and subtract (E-4) from the east.


And if you are doing these courses as part of your degree, as oppose to general interest, make sure to note the code in the lid of the container, to be able to gain entry into the final course!
If you have logged this, or any other cache in the series as found, prior to the 12th January 2012, you can either return to the cache to collect the number, or email the CO with the caches you have found, requesting the numbers.
