Geocache Description:

This multi has three stages, the first requiring you to answer some questions to find the coordinates, the second requiring you to find an object to give you the next co-ords and the last being the cache itself.

Taking you to three different locations around Nashua, you can complete this multi-cache on foot (about 6km return) or in your car. For those who drive there is enough room to park safely at each stage, although take care with where you pull off the road at the second stage.

You will definitely need paper and pen to complete this cache.

Congratulations Fergclan and Griffo - Joint FTF

FIRST STAGE

From the co-ordinates you will have to use any information you can find to get the next set of co-ordinates. Use the answers to the questions below in the following formula:

S 28° (Q1 plus 1).(Q2 minus 1953) (Q3 minus 8)
E 153° (Q4 minus 1).(Q5)(Q6)

Questions

Q1) The Nashua hall was built in 1909, which year was it destroyed in? (only the last two digits of the year are required)
Q2) In which year did the Nashua cricket club have its centenary? (all four digits required)
Q3) On which day in January was the Nashua Hall destroyed?

Q6) The first Nashua "welcome" sign was put up in March 2007, what was the date in march?

SECOND STAGE

Here you have to find something that will tell you the co-ordinates of the final cache location. If you’re stuck then the hint for this stage might help.

FINAL STAGE

The cache is a cylindrical 1.25L plastic tub. It contains a logbook and pen as well as plenty of swaps. Some trackable visitors would be nice!
