Geocache Description:

The coordinates above are NOT for the location of this cache. If you had listened to your maths teacher you should be able to figure out the location of the first stage of this cache. There you will find the coordinates of the final stage.

To find this cache you will need to use some of your mathematics skills - none is above GCSE level.
To find stage one use the two clues below.
Clue 1;- From the location of the first stage if you point to the level crossing and the Bridge (see the waymarks below) your arms will make an angle of 65.2 degrees.
Clue 2;- From the location of the first stage if you point at the bridge and the roundabout your arms will make an angle of 75.2 degrees.

If you measure the angle to nearest whole number you will be at the most 16m from the first stage.

If you are able to measure the angle to nearest tenth of a degree you will be at the most 2m from the first stage.

The first stage contains the coordinates and clue for the final location.

All good maths teachers expect you to arrive at your lesson with the correct equipment - so bring your own pencil.

p.s. Both first and final stage are 35mm film canisters so no swaps or room for a trackable.
