Smiley Hunt Multi-Cache

The cache is NOT in the swamp. It is a multi cache that takes you just about 1 km from start to final. I suggest parking at the starting coordinates and walking but am aware that most people will be using their motorized vehicles. :-)

To find the starting coordinates all you need to do is to substitute the letters for their corresponding number in the alphabet. 

N  EA*      CC. 'Zero' DC

W ABA*    AD.EDE

Stage 1:

Here you will need to answer 3 questions:

1. What is the highest post box number?   A=

2. What is the pole number?                     B=

3. A Crescent ends opposite the second pole. What is the name?  _ _ _ _ _  take the 3rd letter and substitute for number in alphabet   C=

now use the numbers to calculate the coordinates for stage 2:

N 51 (A+A).(C+4)(A-11)(C-2)

W 121 (A-2).(A/4)(B-8)

on the way to stage 2:

What reward is offered? $ _ _ D_        D=

How many black stripes do you see on one sign at the bridge?     E=

Stage 2:

What is the number on the back of the yellow sign?  F=

the final is at:

N51 (A*2).(A-10)(E+D)(F-E)

W121 (A-2).(D+1)(A/2)(D-0)
