Quel Marth, Quel Lenda!
STAGE 1
You will start your Journey from the first giant ring located at: N 43° 32.138; W 079° 41.461. There is some place available to park your horse or wagon along the residential street there.
From the center of the first ring, go 16m (52 feet) north, and you will come to a short brown metal box. On this box there are small labels with phone number, note down the entire phone number. The 2nd digit of this number =D, and the digit which is used twice in this phone number =B.
STAGE 2
Proceed on your journey to a set of two rings at: N 43° 32.261; W 079° 41.382. These rings may look the same at the first glance, but on closer inspection you will see that one of them is DANGEROUS! Note down the year that the dangerous ring was made, and add up all the digits (e.g. 1234 = 1+2+3+4), the last digit of the sum =G. Note down the year the non-dangerous ring was made and take 2nd digit, subtract 3rd digit, then add 4th digit; (e.g. 1234 = 2-3+4), the result =F.
STAGE 3
Continue your journey through the path that slopes down and you will soon find yourself at a fork in the road. Take the path that goes up, and you will see a massive stone ring on the side of the path. Nearby is a small bridge over a round tunnel, only big enough for hobbits or dwarves. Peak inside this tunnel and see how many ring sections this tunnel is made of; that number = A. Pass over that bridge and you will come to another split in the path. Turn left and you should find yourself heading north along a slightly winding path. Shortly after 100 meters or so you will see a solitary ring atop a small mound on your right. Stand upon this ring, and look towards bearing of 45°, 13m (42 feet) away you will see another DANGER. This monster is labeled with a large number; note that number down, the 2nd digit of this number =E, the 3rd digit =H.
STAGE 4
Continue along the path until you get to a main road crossing your path. Don’t cross, stop and look around you. There are several large stones around here but one has a 4 digit numbers clearly carved into it. Note that number down; digits 1+2+3-4 =C. YALLUME! YOU SHOULD NOW HAVE ALL THE DIGITS NECESSARY TO PUT TOGETHER THE CO-ORDINATES OF THE FINAL CACHE USING THE FOLLOWING FORMULA:
N 43° 3A.BCD; W 079° 4E.FGH
