Big Ragnar: This cache has been disabled for some time and as the owner has not repaired/replaced it, I am archiving it.

The Geocache Maintenance guideline explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported. Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center.

How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

This cache gives you a tour around Newborough beach and the adjacent ‘island’.


During high spring tides your feet will get wet.
The cache is not suitable for wheelchairs or prams; I wouldn’t recommend bikes either. Dogs are prohibited in some areas between May and the end of September. This is due to breeding birds, so do take particular care not to go too far off trail during these months.

There is paid parking (3 pounds/day) at N53°08.658 W004°23.137 and free parking at N53°09.402 W004°21.304. The beach and the free parking lot are connected by a nice footpath along the warren and the forest.

Throughout the cache letters are converted into numbers according to their position in the alphabet (e.g.: A = 1, B = 2).

The numbers you get from the questions after an "Also" are relevant!!!

I
N53°08.654
W004°23.168
How many animals are hiding on the statue with the most animals? No. = A
How many windows does the lighthouse have? No. = B
Also: How many statues are there in total?

W004°23.B2B
Find the hidden container with new coordinates! No tree-climbing necessary.

W004°(H+10).K(K+2*J)J
