Geocache Description:

The Point Energy Company (PEC) has commissioned a light house to be placed in this area to warn the visiting Orca, of the nearby shallow water. The PEC had plans drawn up detailing how it was to be built and where it was to be placed.


As PEC are only energy suppliers, they contracted The Irish Beacon Company (IBC) to supply and install the light house as designed using local macrocarpa wood.

Now PEC should have realised that something was up, as the Irish Beacon Company's tender was well under that of the other tenders but they didn't listen to the PEC Quality Manager, who tried to point out that some things just didn't add up.

Well, the IBC got their workers straight onto working on this project and completed it in a record breaking 1,259 seconds including installation. After supplying the necessary photographic evidence and installation documentation to PEC, PEC promptly paid the money and IBC promptly left the country!

Now unfortunately for PEC, they took several weeks before getting to complete a site visit and when they did get to the site, the poor inspection engineer spent hours looking for it and considering the size of the light he still couldn't find it!  So he came back when it was dark to see if he could find it easier with the light working, but still he had no luck.  Maybe the bulb has blown??

 

The biggest problem, is that IBC management are no longer answering their phone. So after checking all of the installation documentation, the Quality Manager found the numbers listed above, written down for the location but they could be a bit out due to the satalite coverage

 

Your challenge is to locate the beacon and sign the enclosed log, so the maintenance men from PEC can find out why its not working. In reward for finding it, you will be entitled to free power for a year! (T & C's apply).

Please log your claim on the log provided below.

(You need to sign the log to claim the find otherwise your log will be deleted.  Just spotting it is not enough!  You will need agility for this one. If you need assistance, send us a message)
