Geocache Description:

***The cache is NOT at the coordinates given above***




Happy hunting and don't get drunk!

From the coordinates given above imagine that you are facing Kilkenny Castle. From this vantage point, (Use your imagination and do NOT get into the Nore) looking towards Kilkenny Castle (in the distance) you will see (in the foreground) all the bars in Kilkenny. There are more than 800 bars in total. You task is to go along and 'count' them.

****************PUZZLE******************

Once you arrive at the above coordinates use the footbridge. Count the number of bars on the Lady Bridge. Only count the stainless steel ones (white/silver in colour). Multiply the total number of bars by the number of days in a year (Not a leap year). Let the number be represented by:-

DYSART

The formula is as follows and the final coordinates are:-

N 52° 39.(D)(S+Y-R)(Y) W 007° 15.(S-R)(T)(S)
