Geocache Description:




OLD VB STATION





The old Victoria Beach train station used to be situated in the Village Green (near the Moonlight Inn). When it had served its purpose at the end of the train era, it was moved here and re-used as a private home. The current owners have rebranded the home as “Hilland Station”.

We hope you enjoy the historical photos of Victoria Beach's bygone days.


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.
This is a short two-stage multi. The final is a very close distance away.

Please go to the posted coordinates.
There you will see two signs, each with the same two-digit number on it.
A) For the NORTH portion of the coordinates: Multiply that number by 33 then add 19. That should give you N50 41.______ .
B) For the WEST part: Take number and double it, then multiply by 11, and add 2. That should give you W096 32.______ .
You may bring a calculator with you if you like. You can walk or drive to the final stage.


You should be able to collect the numbers you need without getting out of your car. No need to enter private property. Please do not perform the calculations in front of the house. Be respectful of the current homeowners. However, if they are out in their front yard, you are invited to stop and say 'Hello'. They are cachers too: Hillands .
At Stage 2, please sign the logsheet away from GZ and watch for muggles, especially during the busy summer months.

The cache is NOT in the restricted part of Victoria Beach. Both stages are accessible by car, year-round. This should be a quick winter-friendly park 'n grab.
