Geocache Description:

This cache is placed by Skansen during a holiday in Sweden. It is placed near Rådastrand, one of the very few sand beach in this area. This sand beach is unique, because the water is shallow until 150 meters from the beach, so it is safe for young children to play in the water. The beach is near a camping, but the beach is accessible for everyone. A nice place to enjoy a beautiful summer day.


Radastrand


After placing the cache 11 meters high in a tree, Skansen decided to take the easiest way down. He jumps up from the tree with a speed of 30 m/s, in an angle 31 degrees above the horizon. And he jumps in the direction of 302 degrees relative to True North. When landing on the ground, Skansen bounces up, where he looses 10% of his energy and the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

Skansen isn't able to stop this bouncing, so he keeps on bouncing until he comes to a hold at N 60° 01.089, E 13° 35.066.

The cache is red, 30 cm long, in clear view and thus easy to find. The only problem may be logging the cache. It is attached 11 meters above the ground, that means that climbing gear and protection is absolutely necessary. Furthermore, we strongly advice to wear gloves and glasses. Climb up safely. Oh, and don't forget something to write with and please close the cache gently in the way you found it.

The car can be parked at the parking lot of the nearby Rådastrand Camping. The cache is placed on private property. Many thanks to Peter and Corina van der Werf for their help and permission to place the cache.
