Congratulations ilucic&armmo on the FTF!
This is a very short multi around the area of Ballintotis Castle.
The castle is private property and the cache is not placed on its grounds.
It has been restored to the point of being habitable over a number of years and is on occasion home to its owner.
We will start at the location given which is also the parking but please be considerate in parking your transport.
You will need a way to note some items down and do a few calculations (nothing too difficult). There is a sign nearby, to work out the location of stage 1 you will have to: Count the number of letters in the last word on the sign minus the number of letters in the fifth word multiplied by the number of sides the sign has. Take this figure from the starting north co-ords to get new north co-ords.
Now count the number of rocks surrounding the green area close to you, add the number of letters in the forth word and add the number of letters in the third word take the answer and add it to the West co-ords of the starting location to make a new set of West co-ords.
You are now at the stage one location, count the number of letters on the first and second lines but count the letters of the second line twice, eg dog => 3 => 6. Use the number in your answer and add it to the North co-ord for stage one, your answer will be the location of the final north co-ords.
For the West co-ords you will have to add the second number of the last line to the last number & the second last number, take your answer and minus it from your current West location. This will give you the final West location.
It should be noted that for the purposes of our calculations we are only concerned with the figures after the decimal point in the co-ords.
