Geocache Description:

One of several caches placed so that attendees at the BAGGIES AT THE ‘BEN’ event (GC3VBB5) in February 2013 stand a chance of a FTF! Although the hide is not quite as close to the event location as the other BATB caches it is still a walkable distance or you could take a short car ride.

This cache is not in the middle of the Loch!! It is close to one of the many places in Fort William associated with beer, wine or whisky.

All the information to enable you to work out the cache location can be found at N 56 49.621 W 005 05.151

Here you will see the hotel “slogan” in metal letters underneath a semi circular picture of the leisure centre and, if you look around, you will also see the Gaelic spelling of Ben Nevis. There are 6 words in all.

The cache is at N 56 a b . c d e W 005 0 f . g h j where:-

The number of letters in the last word of the hotel “slogan” is ‘a’

The number of T’s in the 6 words MINUS the number of B’s is ‘b’

The number of L’s in the Gaelic version of the mountain’s name is ‘c’

The number of H’s in the hotel’s slogan is ‘d’

The number of letters in the first word of the mountain's gaelic name is 'e'

The number of E’s in the 6 words is ‘f’

The number of R’s PLUS the number of A’s in the hotel “slogan” is ‘g’

The number of letters in the 3rd word of the hotel "slogan" is 'h'

The number of letters in the Gaelic version of the mountain’s name NOT INCLUDING the I’s is ‘j’

To repeat the FINAL is at N 56 a b . c d e  W 005 0 f .  g h j

My grateful thanks to cameron.mack for his offer to help maintain this cache should this be necessary and so help in getting it listed.

Also a big "THANK YOU" to gcuk for replacing the container when he found it had gone missing in April 2023. A big help (& environmentally friendly as I live in the West Midlands!)
