Geocache Description:

The cache is a small metal tube. Only large enough to hold a few small items. All three waypoints are on O'Callaghan Strand, so if your calculations direct you somewhere else examine the clues again.


This is a short walk along O'Callaghan Strand on the banks of the river Shannon. From the starting position, across the river you can see the Limerick Boat Club building that lost its roof in the storm of February 2014. http://www.limerickpost.ie/2014/02/12/video-roof-blown-off-shannon-rowing-club-boat-house/

There is on street disk parking on O'Callaghan Strand. During normal business hours you would be lucky to find an available parking spot here. In the evening or on Sundays you should have no problems.

Richard took to the air in what year? Divide by 2 and add 5 to get a three digit number A.

The Norwegian ship was how many ton? To this value add the number of letters in it's intended destination and the number of children who died to get the three digit number B.

When was the wet dock opened. Discard the century and subtract 7 to get the two digit number C.

 

Note From Owner- Apologies to the geocachers who have recently commented on this, this cache was set up by my dad who passed away a couple of years ago, I don't have the information on what is supposed to be there so I can't confirm it is still active. If anyone has successfully solved this recently and can confirm whether all the information is still there to solve it it would be much appreciated, if you are a local geocacher who would have an interest in adopting this cache I'd love it to be preserved, but if it is no longer solveable then feel free to archive it.
