Geocache Description:

Traditional cache, a rectangular tablock box. To determine the final co-ordinates you will need to make some observations as you go from the starting point, a GIVE WAY sign on the Magheralave Road to another GIVE WAY sign at the other end, at its junction with Boomers Road. This is a rather bendy road which winds its way through an otherwise undeveloped area; there is little traffic on the road but I would not recommend driving as you observe!

Along this bendy road:
Starting with the wheel / bike handlebars / shank’s pony in the straight ahead position, and proceeding in an easterly then northerly direction, how many times would you need to pass back through the ‘Straight ahead’ position to reach the 2nd GIVE WAY? AB
How many lamposts are there ? CD
How many manhole covers are in the road? (exclude drains at the kerbsides of the road? EF
How many exit roads? G
How many green junction boxes? H
What speed limit applies within this stretch of road, in mph JK

Check sum AB + CD + EF + G + H + J = 102

Final cache is at N 54 3R.STV W 6 W.XYZ

R = AB + H –D
S = E - F
T = AB / 2
V = G – A
W = EF – JK
X = B
Y = (JK / AB) – E
Z = J - C
Check sum∑ R : Z = 20

The actual cache is on land adjacent to the road, some few hundred feet from the road; the ground may be partially waterlogged so sturdy footwear is recommended!

the cache contained some things to help bring in the New Year, a new magnetic nano for FTF and a TB setting sail for the rest of the world.
