Life's a Beach #9 - Seaton
This cache is the latest addition to the excellent "Life's a Beach" series. Welcome to Seaton, a unique seaside town in East Devon. Seaton sits on the Jurassic Coast and Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site. It offers natural wonders, family adventures, sporting opportunities and a large variety of places to eat, drink and relax. The famous South West Coast Path - one of the top walks to be found anywhere in the world- is easily accessible as well as the spectacular River Axe and Axe Valley wetlands.
This multi-cache will take you for a stroll of approximately 1 mile along the beautiful Promenade, and if you're brave enough, you can always go for a dip in the sea. There is plenty of parking available in and around Seaton. There is no cache at the listed co-ordinates - there are 3 stages where you need to pick up clues to take you to the final destination. The listed co-ordinates are for stage 1 as follows:
Stage 1: This new waves sculpture was placed in July 2016 and welcomes visitors to Seaton beach at Fisherman's Gap. The subject of much controversy, I actually quite like them - what do you think?
- How many circular bubbles are at the top of an individual sculpture? Number = A
- How many words are at the top of an individual sculpture? Number = B
Stage 2: All coastal towns during the second world war had defences put in place in the event of an invasion and defence remains can be seen in Seaton along its seafront. This area was an important position because German aircraft used the Axe Valley as a flight path from France up to Bristol and the West Midlands.
- This beach searchlight emplacement formed part of a network of defences against invasion from 19CD - 1945.
Stage 3: This marker post shows walkers directions and distances along the South West Coastal Path. The entire South West Coast Path National Trail of 630 miles stretches from Somerset's Minehead around to the shores of Poole Harbour in Dorset and takes in the whole of the Jurassic Coastline around Seaton and beyond.
- What is the distance to Seaton? Number = E/F mile.
The final cache can be found at N 50 42.(F-E)D(C+F) W 003 04.(A-B-C)(C+F)E
Checksum A+B+C+D+E+F = 21
October 2018: PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH THE CACHE AS THE NANO IS NOT MAGNETIC BUT IS GLUED TO ITS HOST - PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TWIST OR PULL OFF ITS HOST. PLEASE COVER CACHE WHEN REPLACING.
