Sperrin Mountain Dew Multi-Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This cache is placed within Iniscarn forest and is accessed via the beech planting. The cache is a Red Bull Shot container, magnetically attached. It only contains a log, so bring your own pen. I have decided to make this a wee multi adding to the variety of cache types/icons appearing within the forest. The posted coordinates are for Stage 1, from where the Final Stage coordinates can be calculated. It will only take minutes to work out and the Final is not far away.
How To Find It.
If starting from the car park, this one is best approached via the obvious off-piste path through the beech trees approximately 100 yards from the gate. Follow the path through the trees and then a stream will guide the uphill dander to the Trailhead. Note.....there is a stream crossing at the Trailhead.
If approaching from the cairn atop Sliabh gCallan, cross over the stile and it's straight downhill to stage 1.
From the posted Stage 1 coordinates a marker post can be seen in the adjacent field. On this post is a plate with embossed letters on it, three letters in the top line and two letters in the bottom line.
To find the coordinates for the Final Stage substitute each letter with its position in the alphabet, i.e. A = 1, B = 2, etc
Northing coordinates are N 54 45.1XX, (where XX is the sum of the values of the top line letters)
The Westing coordinates are W 006 43.4YY, (where YY is the sum of the value of the top line letters PLUS the value of ONE of the bottom line letters)
