Geocache Description:


This is a relatively easy multi cache , close  to the wheel which is placed to commemorate the opening of the country park , and dedicated to the local deep mining industry .

There is ample parking nearby , but take care with kids and or pets , as there is traffic aplenty in the area , hence the higher than normal D&T for this sort of hide

The cache IS NOT at the given co ords , but you need to go here to glean the information to be able to solve the following formula ;-

N53 A.CWY   W001 B.DXZ

A)  The total number of words in the poem on the plaque  = ?

B) In the poem , find the 2 longest words and add the number of letters in them together , and then add to that total , the number of letters in the 2nd word of the poem = ?

C ) Total number of words in the 5th line on the plaque = ?

D ) The number of letters in the 4th word on the 2nd line on the plaque = ?

W ) The number of letters in the last word on the first line of the plaque = ?

X ) Omitting the poem from this calculation , how many lines of words are there on the plaque = ?

Y ) What is the first number of the date on the plaque = ?

Z ) On the 2nd line of the poem , deduct the number of letters in the first word from the number of letters in the last word = ?

 

 

You should now have a valid set of numbers to put into the formula that will take you to the final GZ  .

There is only a log roll in this cache , so please BYOP ( no signy , no findy ) .

The cache is suitable for all , but wheelchair bound searchers will need assistance to retrieve the cache .

This is a very high muggle infested area just about all year round , so you will almost certainly need to adopt high stealth mode techniques .

Please replace the cache exactly where you find it to keep it from prying eyes in this muggle infested area , thank you .

 

Off ya go now  , crack on , and good luck .
