The coordinates listed above refer to the centre of Claremorris, not the cache. In order to find the location of this cache, you'll need to answer all the Quiz Questions here to generate the cache coordinates.
All of the answers can be found on or near the main north-south street that runs through Claremorris, this is actually comprised of 3 street names; D'Alton Street, Main Street and James Street. You won't need to go into any buildings to find the answers. If the answers are not clearly visible or obvious to you, try looking at one of the two very useful Visitor Information boards (one on Main Street near the Credit Union, and one just outside the library on D'Alton Street). If you get lost or need a hand finding a location, ask one of the locals for directions - we're all very friendly here in Claremorris - The Heart of the West!
I recommend that you start at the northern end of D’Alton Street and walk southwards to the end of James Street.
Each answer is comprised of one or more numbers which are indicated by an empty square box (such as this ). You should write your answer in or near the box. Once you’ve finished the quiz, substitute your answers for the letters below (each letter corresponds to questions ‘a’ to ‘j’). These will identify the cache coordinates. We’ve added in some digits already to help you get started. Some of the coordinates need to be calculated from the answers of two questions.
The coordinates will lead you to a magnetic micro which is pinning a document wallet to a metal object (BYOP). Why not add some images of Claremorris while you are at it? Any logs or pictures that give the final location away will be removed!
