Fifth cache of mini series on the estate, made this one a multi so requires about one to one and a half hours walk in total. Majority of walk is on good surface but there is a muddy track too, please wear suitable footwear. **Final can be very overgrown/jaggy in Summer, be aware.**
A suitable place for park and start is in the new housing estate off the Glen Road, see waypoint list. Cross some rough ground North West and pick up old tarmac castle drive by the river. Given coords are for the first stage of the multi. Detailed instructions of how to get to the various places are in the three caches "Lovers Leap" and "Nature takes it all back" and "Lennox Reservoir". Note there is a road between the water tank and the castle. You will need to collect four pieces of information. The first is just West of the castle, A flight of steps at n55 58.634 w004 14.198 leading to Lovers Leap. How many visible steps are there ? Call this A. The second is at the Lennox Castle n55 58.665 w004 14.142 How many towers are just above the right hand mans head on the coat of arms above the main entrance arch ? Call this B. The third is at the Lovers Leap viewpoint n55 58.613 w004 14.469 How many vertical spars are in the East facing railing including corner spar.? Call this C. The last is at the massive underground water tank Using a=1 b=2 c=3 etc. What number does the red letter on the tank relate to? Call this D. Armed with these figures enter them into the following to obtain the coords of the cache. N55 58. (B+D)(C-B)(A-2) W004 1(A-6). (B+D-1)(A)(C+1) These coords should take you to an out of sight remaining original remarkable feature of the Lennox estate. Perhaps this has been left intact as one day it may come back in to use.
Please make your final approach to the GZ from the North, there is a red central doorway and it is the best route to avoid nature. ****Well done C2 for FTF***
