Geocache Description:

Over the last twenty years I have been living in Beldon, surrounded by streets with weird geometric names. For my first geocache series I thought I would keep it local and so have hidden the caches in the three “Beldon Parks” around this area which form an equilateral triangle. This third one is hidden in Beldon Park which is the largest and most popular of the three.

Here are my local street names with their meanings. How many of these did you already know?

Alidade - a sighting device or pointer for determining directions or measuring angles, used in surveying and (formerly) astronomy

Prism - a solid figure whose bases or ends have the same size and shape and are parallel to one another, and each of whose sides is a parallelogram

Euclid - also known as Euclid of Alexandria, was a Greek mathematician, often referred to as the "Father of Geometry"

Gunter - a sail whose spar is nearly vertical, so that the sail is nearly triangular

Abney - a hand level for determining elevations and angles of slope

Gradient – the steepness, slope or degree of inclination of a straight line

Now that I have enlightened you with my street names trivia, it is time for a quick and easy cache find – I hope. Each cache can be found individually in their own right, but if you also want to find the “Beldon Parks Finale” mystery cache you will need to use the clues inside each of these three caches.

I hope you enjoy strolling around my home suburb of Beldon. Have fun, but be careful and discreet as some of these locations are quite exposed. At the time of publishing there are only two other geocaches in Beldon so while you are here you may like to find these as well. Happy hunting!

Congrats Kyzabra on FTF!
