Geocache Description:

The Rockpool is a seawater filled pool at the North-West end of the iconic Strand.


By collecting numbers and mathematical operators along the Strand you will be able to log a multi cache hidden close to this world class park.

Start at the Rockpool, why not with a swim? Under the water you will find two round objects on the pool wall, close to the ladder, about 40 cm in diameter. Each one of them closely resembling a mathematical operator. Call the operator to the west OP, while the operator to the east will be called ER. Sounds complicated, don't worry its is obvious when you see it! Goggles or a mask will help you to do this.

After you have dried off and put your best caching clothes on, it is time for a walk along the seafront to find some one-digit numbers.

The next stage takes you to a sign, find the two months, then subtract the smaller from the larger, this will be A.

As you continue along you arrive at the next stage, where you need to find the closing time, call this B.

Close to a popular rest stop you find a yellow object, count the number of bolts connecting the two top parts, this is C.

One final stop and then you can calculate the cache position! Count the number of circular sections in the slide, this number will be your D.

The cache itself is at S19 14.9KL E146 48.STU where:
KL = 2 ER B OP 2 ER D OP C
STU = A ER C ER D OP B OP A ER A ER C OP A

Pen and paper will surely help!

 

You can check your coordinates with certitude.
