Special notice: Some of the locations you will visit when searching for this geocache are potentially dangerous - old military structures are not very well preserved, stairs can be rusty, always mind your step and evaluate your capabilities properly! Cache owners don't take a responsibility about your life and well-being - you do yourself!

Another special notice: in order to be able to identify the pictures properly, we advise you to load the pictures to your phone - it may be necessary to pay attention to the details to identify which place is which!


[EST] Kutsume teid avastama endise Nõukogude armee kaitserajatisi Hiiumaal, Tahkuna tuletorni ümbruses. Pane pildid teekonnapunktidega kokku ning leia aare!

18 punkti kaardil ning 18 pilti, üks pilt igast punktist. Pilte saab alla laadida ka SIIT.

Märgi tabelis vastava pildi tähe alla vastava punkti number ning lahenda valem. Nii saadki aarde lõppasukoha koordinaadid.

Lõppkoordinaadid:
N 59° 05.XXX E 022° 35.YYY
kus:
XXX = A + B + (C3) + (D6) + E + F + (G3) + (H2) + I
YYY = (J5) + K + L + (M2) + N + O + (P2) + (Q4) + (R*2)

Aardekonteineriks on tavaline laskemoonakast.
Eriteadaanne: Mõned kohad, mida selle aarde otsimise käigus külastate, võivad olla ohtlikud – vanad militaarrajatised ei ole väga hästi säilinud, astmed võivad olla roostetanud. Vaata alati, kuhu astud ja hinda oma võimeid adekvaatselt! Aarde omanikud ei võta sinu elu ega tervise eest vastutust – sina ise vastutad! Teine teadaanne: soovitame aarde pildid enda telefoni laadida – võib juhtuda, et asukoha määramisel on oluline detailide märkamine!
