“Heart of the Forest” is a series of 7 caches around the centre of the beautiful Llantrisant forest. The walk is just 2.5 miles on packed dirt and gravel path with mild assents making it suitable for everyone, especially kids.
Each cache is a small plastic box containing a homemade log book, coloured ink pad and a stamp. Please do not remove anything from caches 1-6. The bonus cache is a larger 0.9l plastic box with swaps and room for Tb’s/coins.
As mentioned earlier each cache contains a stamp and ink pad, in order to locate the bonus cache you must find out what stamp is in which cache and work out the co-ordinates for the bonus. In case someone has removed the ink pad and stamp or to save time I have stamped the inside of the logbook with the relevant stamp.
PLEASE ensure you seal the ink pad/stamp plastic bag properly so that rain does not get inside and ruin the ink.
None of the caches are places in stone walls or timber stacks and all were placed with the kind permission of the Forestry Commission.
Calculation of the bonus:
N 51° 33.GHI W 003° 24.JKL
A : Dolphin
B : Shark
C : Starfish
D : Turtle
E : Crab
F : Octopus
Each of these stamps can be found in 1 of the 6 caches and wherever they are places is the number they represent ie if the shark is in "Heart of the Forest #1" then the ladybird represents the number 1.
So you must calculate:
N 51° 33.GHI W 003° 24.JKL
G = A - 1
H = B +1
I = C + 1
J = D + 5
K = E - 3
L = F + 2
