Safe Passage Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

mike.armstrong: This cache relied on information about the location of lighthouses from the Trinity House website.
They've redesigned the website and removed the coordiantes for the lighthouses so I have to archive this one now.
Thanks for all of the kind logs.

Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed coordinates but is within walking distance at an appropriately themed location. A bit of light googling should get you looking in the right direction fairly easily!

To find this cache you will need to discover the coordinates of the four locations encoded below:


Point A: Occulting White, Red And Green Light Twice Every 8 Seconds
Point B: White, Red And Green Group Occurring Twice Every 20 Seconds
Point C: Red Flash Every 3 Seconds
Point D: 5 Red And White Flashes Every 20 Seconds

If you pair these locations up in the right way and draw lines between them you can derive a point where the lines cross.

Because coordinate systems and map projections can vary I recommend that you use geocachingtoolbox.com for your calculations of crossing point.

To get the final coordinates you need to project a line from the crossing point of 247.698 km on a bearing of 0.6158° . The line ends at the cache's location. The website that you used to find the crossing point has a tool to do this too.

There’s no geochecker for this one – plug the final location into Google Streetview and look at the buildings for confirmation that you’re right!
